So to answer your question, it’s The US Government, The Federal Reserve, and these Banks that are shorting silver constantly just to keep the price down.

JP Morgan Chase is the main culprit, they are being allowed to use paper silver stock, short selling huge amounts that they legally shouldn’t be able to do. They were going to eat it back in March or April, however the United States Government dumped a bunch of silver on the market a week before the expiration of JP Morgans holdings. If they were not “BAILED OUT” this would have bankrupted them, the scam would have been exposed, silver would have skyrocketed.

@40joannab Google it and do some research yourself … Better yet, just watch the market on a minute-by-minute or hour-by-hour chart. The short selling is obvious, the information is all there at your disposal. Where do think these “mysterious” people are?
