"In order to correct the situation, we must trust that the number of people in a small market like Silver, who know how the game is played, will buy in such amounts and demand the physical that they can somehow overwhelm the 'paper silver' produced in unlimited amounts by the financial institutions and the government. It's the 5% informed against the 95% uninformed who are going against their own interests for the sake of an easy transaction. It also doesn't help that the governments (including our Swiss one here) often apply bar fees and sales tax on physical procurement, but nothing on paper silver/gold. Hmmm... why the difference?"

Comment:

If the "Sheeple" refused the "Paper Silver/Gold/etc." being offered by these big institutions, the problem you hi-lite wouldn't exist.

The solution is always in the hands of the "Sheeple".

No-one forces anyone to buy anything.

I'm not on the side of the banks, but understand why they can manipulate so easy, when they serve a gullible clientelle".

The buyer is always in control, however he/she is just as greedy as the banks, and cannot say "no" to what looks like a great deal.

The devil is always in the details.

Buy something tangible, not some paper promise.

Good Luck to all!
