"Silver is literally six times “more precious” today than it was a half-century earlier."

Precious Metals Default Scenarios

In the gold market, where virtually all of the bullion ever produced has been conserved, this distortion of markets has merely resulted in a massive transfer of bullion: out of the vaults of the West and into the vaults of the East. The situation in the silver market is entirely different.

Being both much cheaper than gold, and possessing even more superior chemical and metallurgical properties, silver was written off by those with no understanding of precious metals as merely an “industrial” commodity. As a matter of common sense, the rapid increase in industrial demand for silver must make it more “precious” rather than less so.

Illustrating this elementary logic, the combination of gross under-pricing and surging industrial demand has served to decimate global silver stockpiles and inventories. Noted silver researcher Ted Butler has estimated that global stockpiles of silver plummeted from over 6 billion ounces (fifty years ago) to approximately 1 billion ounces today. Silver is literally six times “more precious” today than it was a half-century earlier. In terms of “inventories” (the amount of silver actually available for sale today), the destruction caused by the bankers is even more apparent.

Between 1990 and 2005, global silver inventories plummeted by roughly 90%: from over 2 billion ounces to little more than 200,000 ounces. Since 2005, there has been a massive inventory-sham perpetrated by the bankers and the quasi-official “keeper of records” for the gold and silver sector: GFMS and the CPM Group. Through the farcical practice of adding the paper-bullion of silver “bullion-ETF’s” to inventories and pretending this represents “new silver”, inventories have magically “risen” by roughly 400% since then – despite the seemingly incongruous facts that silver demand has increased dramatically, while supply has remained flat.

In fact, any bullion actually held in a bullion-ETF cannot be an “inventory”, since it fails to satisfy the basic definition: it is not for sale, but rather is privately held by the unit-holders of these funds. How can the holders of such funds sleep at night, knowing that the legal “custodian” of their bullion is telling the world that their silver is “for sale”?
