Now we can't have that in a paper world of manipulation where the authorities allow more alleged paper of a commodity to be traded than can be physically delivered.
Of course, that should never be allowed to happen. In a non manipulative market short paper sales of course should only be allowed if the seller has the physical to deliver.
But we can't allow that, can we?
I don't know why we still call all this paper trading in gold and silver by such names.
Why not invent a couple of fantasy names, for the paper trading is a fantasy land with no relation to the real physical commodities.
