I think the risk of the upside has more dire consequences for all the silver shorters than a short term manipulation. My opinion is the big boys will try and close out their positions. Why would the silver rally stop, and all precious metals for that fact.
Take a look at the broader picture and not just a snapshot of 30mins of deperate trading this morning. Fundamentals. As for AYN, couldnt be in a better position if you ask me.
