Thanks for your reply. There definitely is manipulation slange because the price of silver has reverted back to trading within a narrow range. With all the issues around the world and the storms on the horizon, the price of silver should have risen in line with and/or exceeded the price action on a whole range of commodities. It hasn't and so it creates no discernible evidence of manipulation. Lack of action in such a vital commodity is pretty suspect.
The war drums are beating and who knows what type of future we face.
Unfortunately interesting times.
