There’s a whole lot more silver metal out there than Gamestop shares.

Much, much harder to do a squeeze.

Unless, of course, there’s paper receipts issued by entities that do not actually possess the silver, or who have sold it more than once ;-)

That’s been the case with Silver for a long, long time. Most of what is actually traded is not backed by physical bullion.

In theory if enough orders are placed demanding delivery of physical, it could cause a spike. I would love it if it did, but doubt it will spike much over $30.

“entities that do not actually possess the silver, or who have sold it more than once ;-)”

That’s the rumor. We may find out this week.

There might be some paper silver in the COMEX warehouses.

I am sure that is the case. BUT how much physical silver is sitting out there? No one really knows. That is the game in commodities. There is always some "paper" stuff. Never can be 100% sure if you ask for delivery you will get it, but it is tied to a physical product.
