Silver to Zero

By David Morgan
This article is devoted to silver shorts and silver bears. The title of the article is not about when silver will reach a price of zero but rather when will all available inventories of silver be gone. Being a silver bull has not been easy, in fact it has been one of the most trying experiences of my life. If you grew up as a nerd (before it was fashionable) and always excelled at mathematics, went on to major in engineering, (the rocket scientist type) then took up silver analysis first as a hobby and eventually as a vocation, then the numbers just do not add up. For several years the logic of an ever dwindling supply coupled with a static price made no sense.

Thanks to Mr. Ted Butler for his work that finally shed the much needed light on the topic. His work is extensive and if you do not believe the silver (and gold) leasing scam by now you never will. I will not discuss the leasing issue because I wish to focus on the coming silver shortage. Since I have all but thrown in the towel I am at a point where I must admit I just do not see silver prices rising until the actual physical bullion supplies reach critically low levels. I say this not because of my background in economics, because silver prices should have begun to rise a long time ago, I say this because the shorts have such a straggle hold on the market that only a physical shortage is going to make the market move.
