<p>[QUOTE=&quot;InfleXion, post: 1385101, member: 29012&quot;]Just because the assets are paper/electronic doens&#039;t mean somebody can&#039;t buy them all up. Now if you contend that there are naked contracts that will continue to be created to vacuously modify the existing supply then I would agree with you that the market can avoid being cornered, but that doesn&#039;t mean it can&#039;t be cornered, only that it has the ability to sidestep being cornered through subversion. I agree with you that cornering a market is a bad thing, but it&#039;s not as bad as exerting control over another individual telling them what they can and can&#039;t do with their own free will. If it can be built into the market to avoid being cornered somehow without infringing on that then I&#039;m all for it, but not at the expense of pseudo assets. </p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t answer your other questions, I&#039;m not a producer, but some of them are indeed holding their profits in silver. Since silver is 10+ times more rare than gold above ground, and only 7 times more abundant beneath the ground, and the most useful metal in the world that cannot be substituted without loss of quality, there&#039;s no logical reason it should be 50 times less valuable than gold. I would be willing to entertain any reasoning to the contrary if any exists. I can only guess that the producers who aren&#039;t holding silver inventory as part of their profits are unaware of the market machinations and the dwindling supply. If everybody who was being robbed knew it they&#039;d probably do something about it, but obviously not everybody does, and a lot of the major players hedge through the futures market anyway to profit solely from their buy/sell spread and don&#039;t care what the spot price is since it cancels out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
