This is what happens when the bullion banks suppress something with naked shorting.....with GME a tourniquet could be applied because it was the NYSE and they just shut it down. With Silver (and other precious metals)...the price is controlled by Comex, Shanghai, and London. Both Comex and London have shown they have no silver in the vaults...but massive shorts against it (some data suggests that for every 1 ounce of available physical silver, they have sold that ounce over 400 times with paper contracts. Shanghai/China ain't playin' anymore. They are forcing a short squeeze that can't be stopped. This may take down the western bullion banks as they won't be able to cover with physical silver as there is none available.
