<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1581926, member: 26302&quot;]Or it could mean its the thinnest traded market in terms of using the market for physical hedging, but because of the nature of silver as an investment metal has an unusual appetite for people wishing to buy physical silver for the PM aspect of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my take on it. As you say yourself, silver is an unusual metal, half industrial half financial. In my mind that makes its market weird, the industrial side uses it for hedging like pork bellies, but investors are unusually attracted to it as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>This very well could make silver one of the most unusual markets around, even without anyone breaking any laws. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Simply put, the market maker will create derivitives to buy as long as there are buyers. That is their job. If tons of people suddenly wake up and have a burning desire to buy pork bellies as a hedge against something, pork bellies could very well become the most concentrated short position by whomever is ITS market maker.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
