I have little doubt that the Comex will do this in a silver melt-up, they already have raised margin requirements. The problem is that this is a physical shortage not just a speculative run, and there are real users who need product. I would bet that if the Comex manipulated things, then the spot market would get even hotter as the market realized that the Comex was a farce (just a paper market) as far as having and delivering actual product. So this might suggest that finding real bullion somewhere, that could be stored and traded with small spreads is the way to go. Ideas?
