So, if you wanted to destroy the commodities market in Silver, this is how you make it impossible to trade.

Would somebody mind explaining this? It kind of went over my head. Silver just went down.

They will try, but two things they can't touch. First, really big buyers, like China or large hedge funds, do not need margin, they can just pay cash for physical silver. That's what they want anyway. Secondly, small investors have been investing in physical silver like silver eagles and bars, which are not affected by this unless the owner attempts to sell.

Markets exist to foster trust, and when there is no trust, people will find new markets. Expect a massive move by individual investors away from ETFs and stocks to physical silver.

I wish I had a ton of money for when this stabilizes. I can’t see it going much lower with the exception of when QE3 begins. After that my hunch is it will start a steady climb once again.
