I am curious. I read a lot online about silver price fixing by the big bullion banks and central players. People say that this has been going on for decades and that this it the reason for the very high( historically speaking) silver to gold ratio. It is said that massive short selling has caused this. The bullion banks that are supposedly holding silver for their clients don't really have the actual metal to cover it. When people wise up to this they will have only two choices. Go bankrupt because of default. The second option being to buy massive quantities of silver to try and cover thus driving up the price. My question is if this is true and it has been going on for decades then what is going to change that causes them a problem? Put another way if they have been doing it for decades with no problem then what makes anybody think they can't keep doing it forever?
