"Each is own that what makes the market."

Exactly.

Based on the most recent data available it would only take about $80 billion to purchase the entire annual output of silver and gold.

IOW, it is a finite market that could easily be taken over and controlled by entities that would like to see their depreciating assets turn into appreciating assets.

Now I could do another 1000 or so paragraphs regarding conspiracy theories based on wresting control of some resources and power from those who have been accumulating them for some centuries. But, I do believe that most people on this board are well enough informed to understand the underlying message.
