One of the videos I posted links to recently... was a guy outlining the gold and silver price suppression story. Among the charts he showed was one representing the % "short" of commodities... showing gold and silver at the extreme end... there is "paper" silver traded at such a volume that global production trades almost daily, or every few days. All of that "paper" is being "short"... it is not backed by physical, but by a promise... and that is a volume that is something like 130 times more "paper" silver than real silver. Can't be denied, these days... that "paper" is not actual metal... or a valid market proxy for it. That being true... and no matter the reason it is true... still doesn't alter the market reality ? For the reasons there are... the market fraud being practiced in silver is not being unwound. At the opposite extreme on those charts... was oil. Oil historically sustained at most 4 or 5 days of short positions... about what you'd expect in a liquid market focused on actual delivery of physical products intended to be used ? But, that also means oil is the LEAST MANIPULATED market... that clearly validated by recent events, in which truly massive moves have occurred ? I'll continue to root for the failure of the market suppression in gold and silver... But, I'm not going to lock my money up in a price controlled commodity... hoping for the price controls to fail ? The reason to own physical... is as insurance against markets and currencies failing... which is just prudent. But, for investment purposes... ? I'm still not discounting the potential in Bill Murphy's tilting at windmills... and will keep a close eye on it as I always have... But, not going to leave dead money twisting in the wind... when there's real money to be made RIGHT NOW in the oil trade ?
