So, this should be no problem, and it will just be shrugged off?

[Excerpt from above]
The short squeeze:
Buy SLV shares (or PSLV shares) and SLV call options to force physical delivery of silver to the SLV vaults.
The silver futures market has oscillated between having roughly 100-1 and 500-1 ratio of paper traded silver to physical silver, but lets call it 250-1 for now. This means that for every 250 ounces in open interest in the futures market, only 1 actually gets delivered. Most traders would rather settle with cash rather than take delivery of thousands of ounces of silver and have to figure out to store and transport it in the future.
The people naked shorting silver via the futures markets are a couple of large banks and making them pay dearly for their over leveraged naked shorts would be incredible. It’s not Melvin capital on the other side of this trade, its JP Morgan. Time to get some payback for the bailouts and manipulation they’ve done for decades (look up silver manipulation fines that JPM has paid over the years).
The way the squeeze could occur is by forcing a much higher percentage of the futures contracts to actually deliver physical silver. There is very little silver in the COMEX vaults or available to actually be use to deliver [rest at link]
A similar scenario (in reverse) occurred last spring when an expiring crude oil futures contract price went negative. The longs (not shorts) got squeezed as prices plummeted. As expiration date neared they knew they would be responsible for taking physical delivery of 1000 barrels of crude oil for each contract they held. They wanted to sell but there were no buyers as storage capacity was full. They ended up paying about $4000 per contract to exit the contracts to avoid physical delivery.
