When I was a stock broker we were taught "people lie, the money never lies". The point is not to simply invest based on a good story, take a look at the stock price. The trading pattern and many of the technicals will tell you, is the big money buying this or are they selling it? The reason a story hits the press is because they are either buying it or selling. The story can be to tell you to buy it and sometimes that is right, sometimes it is wrong. Sometimes they are giving you a sales pitch to buy because they are looking to sell. And vice versa, a story can be to sell and that is because they are looking to buy.
People lie, the Money doesn't lie
I say this because silver has the most incredible cup and handle pattern of trading, that is an extremely bullish pattern. The reason I say it is "the most incredible" is because this has been the pattern over 50 years! This pattern indicates some big money has been acquiring stocks of silver for fifty years. I knew that the elites are patient, but this seems to be extreme. It also can explain why the banks would be selling shorts, you can make money every year for fifty years doing that, then when the stock pops you lose money. However, your loss can be offset by fifty years of profit. So then they aren't shorting it to make money, they are shorting it to be in good with a very big client. It could be that taking a loss on this one bet is the price of doing business with the really big client.
Who can pull this off?
So then who is so big that they can put together a fifty year plan, and get all the banks to buy in by shorting silver? This trading pattern on silver began around 1971, the same time that Nixon took the US off the gold standard. Imagine the deep state of the US realized that when they went off the gold standard the US dollar would ultimately go bust and the world would revert to gold. To corner the gold market would require trillions of dollars, but to corner the silver market, especially over 50 years, they can afford to do that (silver is 3% of the size of the gold market). We know that whoever was the puppet master, the Hunt brothers were part of this and sure enough, the Hunt brothers were involved with the CIA.
What is the play?
So then, what is the play? You corner the silver market while keeping it artificially low, say 100:1 when it should be 15:1. The US dollar collapses, gold spikes to say $30,000 an ounce (Jim Rickards estimate), an increase of about 10x. This breaks the shorts on silver (silver's price is correlated to gold by 90% correlation coefficient -- very high correlation). But when the silver shorts fail silver takes off and hits the 15:1 ratio. That is $2,000 an ounce. That means it goes up 67x. They sell about 1 billion ounces of silver a year, so over 50 years that is 50 billion ounces. You can assume half of that went into electronics. So whoever the puppet master is, they might be sitting on 1-10 billion ounces of silver at an average price of less than $20, perhaps $15 an ounce. So they may have spent $15 billion on their silver which is now worth twice that. When it spikes it goes to $2 trillion. Then they swap it out for gold. That would be two tons of gold at $30,000 an ounce, or 50% of the global market on gold. The gold would double in price while silver would crater. They could then exchange $4 trillion in gold for $4 trillion in US bonds in one trade. Gold would crash, perhaps losing 50% overnight.
You have to connect the dots
My point is if you follow the money on this you have several dots which must all be connected. The US coming off the gold standard, the Hunt brothers and the CIA, a fifty year plan anticipating an attack on the US dollar as the reserve currency, and all the US banks willing to play along with absurd short positions. It seems to me the US has seen this attack coming fifty years ago and has been preparing ever since. Bill Gates and Warren Buffet can't do something like this that takes 50 years to pay off, but the US deep state can do this if they see it as a National Security issue.
