    Just proves that consumers (buyers) set prices.
    Theory proven.

    Do you consider cornering the market and price manipulation as prices set at the margin ...

    Attempting to corner the market through price manipulation, manipulating prices in markets, or any other nefarious scheme designed to skirt or defy the laws of economics are destined to fail.*

    As per your linked example.

    They are not examples of how prices are set at the margin and they are not business practices that promote longevity.

    *Edit to add: the only time they do not fail is when such practices are supported by legislation, but they are far from healthy economic transactions nevertheless.

    Would it be anti-libertarian to endorse such price interference rather than have a free market environment where people's rights are not impeded .... JP Morgan et al would disagree with your lack of confidence in longetivity .... even if you were the last man with a bar of silver on earth ...

    That assumes that JP Morgan manipulates the price of silver.

    Something with which I disagree.

    There is no doubt about it and the fines for manipulation of the metals prices are evidence of this.
    Anyone who has kept an eye on the cases of manipulation would see the.........

    Just stuck together a chart of the last months' $U.S. price of Silver.

    Note the rising BLUE widths are narrow (quicker) & the beat downs in RED are wider (slower), making us feel like we had gone 10 rounds with Muhammad Ali.
    Then about a week ago something changed I hope. (hope & change, lol). _JLG.

    Great time to buy silver if you think that metals will rise again. When we get back to more "normal" 40-50 to 1 ratio swap it out for gold and get close to double the ounces you would get if you simply bought gold today (taxes and premiums notwithstanding).

    I've been buying at sub $17 quite a bit when I find cool stuff cheap. I got a high relief Koala in box with COA recently for $5 over melt and a Polish Sitting bull coin for $20 (really pretty coin) see link.

    At some point I think gold (and more silver) will behave like we saw bitcoin doing for a time. Just got to remember to sell/swap at the right time and not get too greedy.
