“””Banks and market manipulators hit hardest.”””


In 1980 the Hunt Brothers attempted to corner the silver market and silver reached $50 before collapsing.

Now, 45 years later, could China be the party who is attempting to corner the silver market?

I was just coming to post about the Hunt brothers driving silver to $50 back in about 1979-80. You beat me to it.

Adjusted for inflation $66 is not so much.

Looks like it was about $260 in today’s dollars.
