<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1392095, member: 22143&quot;]On your first point I would say that ANY investor, regardless of size, should be acting rationally in their best interest. This doesn&#039;t affect what I said.&nbsp;&nbsp; As for the price of silver being up 6X over the past dozen years, without true price discovery, i.e. no naked shorting, there is no way to know if 6X is acceptable or not. This is why naked shorting is not allowed.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Finally you argue that it is not credible to assume there are irrational speculators, criminal manipulators, or just plain stupid people in the market.&nbsp;&nbsp; I can&#039;t imagine that anyone would believe this.&nbsp;&nbsp; We know the banks have committed crimes.&nbsp; Even in this very lax environment of regulation, they have been convicted of fraud more than once.&nbsp; MF Global is a huge example.&nbsp;&nbsp; Irrational &amp; stupid.&nbsp; I won&#039;t comment on this except to say that even on this normally well educated group of forumers we have both just based on the comments. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is a matter of observation and opinion.&nbsp; I&#039;ve not been swayed by this.&nbsp; Maybe others will be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
