Another issue is whether any of those 102 million ounces are already leased.

Honestly, everyone talks about manipulation, but, when any CEO sees 10+% 30 day interest DURING A RECESSION, he would be hard pressed to prove he has performed to the best interest of the shareholders if he didn't enter into the lease!

On the other side, were I that CEO I would explain to my shareholders the difference between the rate currently paid on loans of an absolute "safe" nature and these silver lease rates & that there must be FAR ABOVE significant risk of default for there to be that high a level of (assumed) return!!!

My question is who is paying that high a money to borrow silver? The market is pricing in extreme risk of default!
