JPM owns 100,000,000 ounces of silver
JPM has sold 5,000,000,000 ounces in paper silver
If the price of physical silver gets driven up lets say 10$.
That means JPM's physical holding is worth 1 billion.
OMG YOU RETARDS ARE MAKING JPM MONEY!!
STOP BUYING SILVER!!
Guess what smoothbrain?
Their 5b in paper ounces now makes JPM liable to pay out 50,000,000,000
Yes that 50 billion dollars now JPM has to pay out of people redeem their paper silver.
Now imagine the whole market. Think that there are 500billion ounces of PAPER silver.
If the prices goes up 10$ 50% of the banks owe more money in paper silver than they are worth
If prices hit 50$ EVERY SINGLE BANK IS INSOLVENT.
Edit This is by no means an instruction manual to crush everyones 401ks, pensions, the whole thing. This is by no means a way the people could pull the veil off the final system and see whats really under neath. My favorite flavor is Blue crayon. This is more a warning I guess. That people need to have physical assets on HAND. Because this is how FUCKED UP AND CORRUPT our market is.
Also I dont know JPM's current paper silver sales. Last I saw they have 110 million ounces.
In 2014 bloomberg reported that the banks had leveraged the paper silver 250:1 of physical.
So grandscale is that there are 500-750 billion ounces of paper silver.
Silver goes up 10$ who the fuck is covering the bill on paper silver?
I stopped buying silver when I reached my goal. I now own my body weight in physical silver. It's a good start but I won't buy more unless(if) it drops back under $20.
