<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jolumoga, post: 1635977, member: 41780&quot;]With all due respect, you could be right, as I am not an insider privy to information at the highest levels.&nbsp; But I have to take into account the wealth of data I have absorbed in the last year or so.&nbsp; I am concerned about the paper trading being totally out of proportion to global silver production.&nbsp; Also, and this issue is very important and relatively recent, much of the trading in the markets today is done by computer algorithms via high-frequency trading.&nbsp; Some prominent people are arguing that the markets today are broken or that the price discovery mechanism is hopelessly distorted.&nbsp; No longer is most of the trading done by living, breathing, sentient beings like you appear to assume.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if HFT also affects commodities, but I am assuming that the distortions in stocks are affecting other markets like commodities as well, or that if manipulation is blatant in one area it is likely to exist in the other.&nbsp; After all, we are dealing with the same institutions.&nbsp; (Just Googled it: the commodities markets are affected by HFT).</p><p><br /></p><p>I have also listened to Bill Murphy of GATA and Max Keiser, and I find their arguments persuasive.&nbsp; I am assuming, since you are interested in coins, that you also believe silver is a good investment or at least a hedge against inflation?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
