I think we all believe that if the banksters did not suppress the price, it would shoot up. However, the collateral damage would be great.
Is anyone with me that "managed" suppression is a win-win? If the banksters allowed the price to increase $3/week, wouldn't we all be happy with respect to our physical, paper, and related holdings (like trusts, miners, and royalty)?

Just got my “booster” at CVS. Lots of availability at many of the branches in San Francisco. The pharmacist said that this was probably the last batch (exp 5/31) before the Fall reformulation. But, he said, you never know.

I'm wondering why industry players like Samsung and Tesla won't test the 3k contract limit this month (the "down" month) to secure physical from the CME vault with the price as suppressed as it is.
Samsung has already shown they are looking to secure silver long-term with their mining deal. Why not secure 15M oz of it from CME if they can? It is there for the taking...
Vault numbers have barely moved, but OI shows a 4,700 drop (physical leaving the building):
Registered/Eligible/Total = 80.8M/233.8M/314.6M oz:
May OI finalizes at 6,299. That's 31M oz:
Also for your reading pleasure:
There will be a final adjustment at 8 am Pacific, but we are still looking at around 30M oz of the 79M oz of the CME registered vault.
My understanding is that no trading occurred yesterday, so the 2.4K reduction in contracts was the result of back room deals, etc. Thoughts?
Registered/Eligible/Total = 79.6M/235.7M/315.2M oz:
May OI closes at 8,710. That's 43M oz:
