You have to be really stupid to try to manipulate the silver market. The market is huge. Bunker Hunt went bankrupt because trying to manipulate it.

No, contrary to the story the Hunt brothers didn’t “attempt” to corner the silver market, they did, what happened was, the government then changed the rules after the fact and that was what bankrupted them.

Absolutely, Brilliant.

Except, today it's not 3 brothers responsible for yesterday's 10% + rise in silver, but whole nations, like China and India and BRICS. And, it won't be China/India/Brics that goes bankrupt, but the Petro reserve currency in place since Bretton Woods, the US Dollar.

Folks, there are remarkable ways to make the US debt of $38T irrelevant, and you (and I) are witnessing that historic shift in realtime.

And, many Brilliant people cannot see it, right in front of their two eyes.

Actually, the silver market is pretty small. That’s why the Hunts tried to corner it.

I imagine it’s about to get “bigger.”

Silver is generally a by product from other sources. It takes a while to ramp up production because the primary mineral is usually copper or gold.

It’s gonna be fun to watch.
