The Comex racket has contracts for silver purchases that are coming due. There’s not enough physical silver inventory to meet deliveries. I think that’s it in a nutshell, someone else please elaborate...

Only about 10% of the contracts are ever traded for silver. That's it, in a nutshell.

Not sure about the 10% figure, but basically yes, and most speculators don’t have the bread to take delivery anyway, so usually they are safe.
