That&#039;s more silver than the entire U.S. mining industry will produce in one year! As of Tuesday&#039;s cut-off, the bullion banks (4 or less) are now net short 56,401 contracts or 282.0 million ounces of silver.</p><p>See the chart <a href="http://www.futures.tradingcharts.com/cotcharts/SI" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.futures.tradingcharts.com/cotcharts/SI" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #579fc4">here</span></a>.</p><p>These same (4 or less) bullion banks went massively short gold last week as well. The net gold short position by the bullion banks increased by an eye popping 54,089 contracts! That&#039;s 5.4 million ounces of gold that the banks shorted in just one week!</p><p>See the chart <a href="http://www.futures.tradingcharts.com/cotcharts/GD" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.futures.tradingcharts.com/cotcharts/GD" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #024999">here</span></a>.</p><p>These overly massive short positions in the silver and gold markets by the bullion banks will be resolved by only two possible outcomes. Either the bullion banks manipulate a decline in prices to cover their shorts, or they get steam rolled by more and more buyers showing up and they are forced to withdraw from the market.</p><p>If the latter occurs there will be no shorts against all the new longs that will pile into the market, and we will have an historic rise in prices for both silver and gold. If the former scenario plays out we will have lower prices for both metals which will shake out the speculators, with the bail out money behind the banks this could be a distinct possibility.</p><p>Be ready for either outcome. This next week in the silver and gold markets is shaping up to be a humdinger![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
