What Does The Silver Price Today Mean For The Average Silver Coin Investor?

In a word, Nothing.

And yet, this is the number one most-viewed price point.

A couple of issues worth noting:

This is unfortunate, but certainly no accident. Just the high-tech version of the same (fiat) story played out during this brief period of human modernity.

In other words...

This price management is also heavily tied to the general foundation of our fiat -- central bank-managed monetary system.

So How Is The Silver Price Today Determined?

Daily silver prices are determined by the commodities futures exchange (COMEX), which is part of the New York Merchantile Exchange.

The problem for silver is that most of what is traded in these contracts represents silver that does not exist. Or in other words, this amount exceeds the amount of silver that can be produced in a year.

In still other words, the price discovery mechanism for silver is broken and has been for years.

The short side of the trade, executed by those (bullion banks) who are betting that silver will drop in price each and every day-- are highly concentrated.

This is the unique issue here. Not simply naked shorting in silver, it is the often misunderstood problem of concentration.

Cornering the market is illegal on both sides of the trade.

Here is why silver prices will fly some day.

Remember that conservative estimates of the comparison of above ground silver supply to gold describes a ratio of at least 3 times more gold than silver. Yet the price ratio is still better than 50 to 1.

Therefore, the silver price will be low until it has approached a similar price ratio.

You would think that for such a simple idea that there wouldn't be that much to silver prices.
