<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldFinger1969, post: 26586786, member: 73489&quot;]Just because there are short positions -- even large ones augmented by &quot;weird&quot; inventory or paper positioning -- doesn&#039;t mean a short squeeze is imminent.&nbsp; </p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>There are so many OTC derivative hedge products and so many ways to mask a short position that there can be very few NAKED SHORTS or squeezes that materialize.</b>&nbsp; We haven&#039;t seen anything like that with silver....you&#039;ve had folks/click baiters/promoters/scammers saying silver might double or triple in a day or a week or some other outlandish prediction.&nbsp; It&#039;s never happened and is highly unlikely to, either.&nbsp; Even if it did happen, for most of us, it&#039;s an UNINVESTABLE event -- one so small in probability or so far off in the future that it&#039;s not worth investing in for the expected payoff (like betting on an asteroid hitting Earth).</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Silver haters&quot; add liquidity to the market and enable Silver Longs to move the price up in a more orderly manner.&nbsp; You shouldn&#039;t bash them.&nbsp; They might be short one product and long another (i.e., short the physical metal and long paper).&nbsp; In other words, net even.&nbsp; You simply can&#039;t say they are bad for the market or the price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
