Embry - Short Squeeze in Silver, Manipulators Getting Overrun

“There is a tremendous bid in the gold and silver markets at a time when the market is tight in these metals and there is a concentrated short position in both gold and silver.  The Middle-East crisis has come out of left field and this is creating additional bidding in the precious metals markets.  To be bearish gold and silver is to be bullish paper currencies and in view of QE and sovereign risks, that is a terrible bet.”

When asked about silver Embry remarked, “Eric Sprott and I have always contended that in silver if you get some serious physical buying in the absence of above ground inventories that are available for sale, that the paper manipulators would basically get overrun.  Right now we are in the process seeing that unfolding.

I definitely think a short squeeze is underway in silver.  The evidence will be if the price of silver moves sharply higher from here.  I think you will know if you have a real short squeeze if this thing starts piling on gains in the next week.

The price of silver has been held back for so long and this is not something that can be cured with existing mine production because mine production has been sticky.  People are coming after silver as a monetary asset because it’s so much cheaper than gold and this is creating an explosive situation.”
