<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1391940, member: 26302&quot;]Regarding whether the price of silver HAS to go up long term, I would say yes since we are in a economic systems where the preferential movement is towards mild inflation. Therefor mild inflation will always be the goal of all regulators, and this will cause all assets to inflate and go up over time. I don&#039;t think it has a lot to do with supply/demand other than the assumption that all inputs to production will also go up.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the big bad evil sellers of silver. Did you ever stop and think that most buyers would not wish to BUY as many ounces as they have contracts for either? You are correct that not all contracts could be delivered if required, but on the flip side the vast majority of contract buyers would not WANT delivery. </p><p><br /></p><p>If they went back to physically delivery on every contract, they could. However, that market was so very manipulatable that we would have 100 times as many threads on how people are manipulating the market than we have now. My company participates in a market with physical delivery. The largest firm in this industry has lots of reasons to keep prices down, and punk the market intentionally anytime they wish. If you want a market where a Kitco or someone could drive prices down to $10 an ounce at will, buy up stock at those prices, then allow it to go back up, please keep pleading for a physical only market. There are a lot of excellent reasons why the current market is the way it is, although many are ignorant of that, and then post on their blogs how its all &quot;manipulation&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
