Message:: [QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 26484151, member: 73489"]But is it ?  Could be...but also delivery could be made through production, institutional sales, retail selling, etc. It's VERY RARE to find a short situation in any market -- or one of these "short metal, long paper" situations -- that leads to a rocket move up.  Usually, they tend to fizzle out.  These situations tend to be the NORMAL position not an abnormality that automatically leads to a rocket move up.  Same thing with contango and backwardation which can persist for long periods of time and/or fizzle out. The silver "deficit" can persist for many more years....resolving itself bit-by-bit over time.  I don't know.  But not only do we need to see this "short covering" but we need to see it in a quantifiable time frame.  If silver doubles in price in 5 or 7 or 10 years, that really doesn't help us here in October 2025, right ? A situation like Gamestop (GME) is a 1 in 10,000 anomaly.  Perfect situation....like a non-HR hitter hitting 2 Home Runs in one game because he just happened to be facing the 1 pitcher his swing levels out against and can drive the ball.  Then he goes another year and a half without a HR. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
