Silver Price Manipulation
“I have little doubt that most of the silver that is on the SLV’s web site with a bar number is there somewhere. But what I am really concerned about is if it is hypothecated or not, meaning is there more than one owner on that same bar. And I can almost guarantee that there are multiple owners for almost every bar that they report. It does not mean that that bar does not exist.
It takes ten contracts to be a market maker. So I have got ten contracts, I have got fifty thousand ounces, and I ship it to my buddy who is a hedge fund manager over in Idaho. That is my silver. I have just sent it over to him on a lease. I have leased it to him. Now he has taken that silver and he has swapped it with somebody at the SLV, so they have got bars there. And he swapped for those and now those are on the exchange showing as part of the deal. So you can have a lease and a swap, so you could have two or three claims on those same bars. And that happens over and over again.
So the reason I used “purportedly” is that is the correct word. There are very few bars that are actually one-to-one correspondence that are sitting on the SLV and that is their only purpose. That is not the way banks operate. That is not the way the whole system operates. So I am not against the SLV, but I also state very clearly that if you follow what I teach, you would not want that to be considered a primary silver investment. That is a paper investment. That is not silver. That is paper. It only settles in paper. People ask whether I think there is going to be a default on the SLV. I say, how could there be? I mean, read the prospectus, they settle in cash. Think they have any trouble printing that stuff up? I haven't seen any problem with that lately.”

We are Becoming More and More of a Physical Market
We know there is huge controversy surrounding the SLV and we have examined this in depth in our Master Mind series. We remain in the middle that much of the silver purported to be in the SLV is there; our main concern is whether or not it is totally unencumbered.
Recently the SLV claims to have 325 million ounces of silver, while the Comex has about 32 million in the registered category, which for all practical purposes is the only silver available to the dealers. In other words, the SLV is 10 TIMES BIGGER, purportedly, in physical metal. Which one do you think would have the greatest impact on the market—especially considering that we are becoming more and more of a physical market?
