    I was just reading this article another member posted a link to. I'm not sure how reliable the information
    is, but it's interesting and gives a possible reason for the steady increase.
    JPMorgan silver

    Here's a snippet.

    Bear Stearns previously held the silver short position that is now controlled by JP Morgan. The very day that Bear Stearns failed in March of 2008 was the day that silver reached its multi-decade high of $21 per ounce. Although nobody in the mainstream media has ever reported this, the real reason the Federal Reserve was so eager to orchestrate a bailout of Bear Stearns is because Bear Stearns was losing control over the price of silver. If they were forced to cover their shorts, silver could have quickly risen to $50 per ounce. A breakout of this size in the price of silver would signal a loss of confidence in the U.S. dollar and trigger a currency crisis.

    In just the same way that it wasn't a coincidence that silver reached its high of $21 per ounce the same day Bear Stearns failed, it might not be a coincidence that silver is now at its highest level since March of 2008 with JP Morgan claiming to be exiting proprietary trading of commodities. JP Morgan has been slowly starting to cover its silver shorts in recent months, but still holds the majority of its silver short position. In recent weeks, silver's rise has come with very low volume. JP Morgan isn't rushing to cover their shorts, but at least they aren't increasing their shorts like they normally would at this time. Now is the time that JP Morgan would normally act to slam the price of silver down. If we don't see JP Morgan make a noticeable attempt to manipulate down the price of silver within the next couple of weeks, it could be a sign that their manipulation is over.
  • FINALLY !!

    And just like the people who were scoffing at us (see the first epic Gold, Silver, Economy thread) only 5 years ago when we were saying that gold would be over $1000 (and much higher) in the not too distant future. Silver has a long, long way to go.

    Closed the day over $20 at $20.05. Will it close the week over $20?

    Since most silver is for industrial use, I suspect the news that the world economy's are improving, especially China, had a lot to do with it.
