The SLV is not an a FUND it's a silver trust. Read the prospectus it states they will hold silver for you in trust. It also says if their is any fraud or theft they are not liable thus JPM can legally steal from the trust. in the perspective that if the silver is stolen they JPM is not liable. Many lawyers on the web point this out on GLD mostly .JPM sells paper contracts promising silver. If people simply want cash they take cash, but if they want silver then JPM has to deliver. In the past there was never a problem most wanted cash and what has happened is JPM not only delivered on 30 million oz that I expected them to deliver on but they delivered on 40 million.
The situation for JPM is bad .Pay real attention to what is happening now in the european country Belarus. They just devalued their currency by half, panic everywhere...the real winners: silver holders who preserved their wealth

Here's a little snippet from silver analyst Ted Butler's weekly review on Saturday..."The liquidation of the 40 million ounces from the SLV is incredibly bullish to me. There was nothing coincidental or unintentional about the sudden 30% drop in silver prices. As I have previously written, getting as much silver from the world's largest stockpile of silver was the reason behind the price plunge. This silver was forcibly taken from SLV shareholders, whether those shareholders were aware of it or not. It was taken by those who didn't mind violating market laws in order to get the metal. That should give you a sense of how serious was the intent to secure this silver. Many will say this shows that the silver wasn't in demand by the investors who sold it.. I would say nothing could be further from the truth. Breaking laws to secure something indicates a motivation bordering on desperation. The bottom line is that these 40 million ounces are now held in incredibly strong hands."

Dave Hightower $50 Silver - CNBC 5/25/2011
Dave Hightower $50 Silver - CNBC 5/25/2011 , Dr Stephen Leeb made a statement on King World News that Silver should now be $150. I hope he is right because to think the "Negative Nancy's" on this video are way off.
Dave Hightower : will it be industrial use or speculation? well, i think that's part of the equation because you also have flight to quality. mixed into that. that seems to be a more pronounced influence than it was at the beginning of the year. not only do we have u.s. debt problems, but the e.u. problems are being resurrected again. but, you know, the fundamentals behind this market have really never went away, despite the heartbreak we saw in the month of may. the fundamentals never went away. but at the same time, what gets you to the valuation of, say, $50? because back when it was approaching $50, dave, you know, a lot of people were saying that the incremental demand came from speculat speculators, came from the demand.

CNBC FastMoney - Silver Up 3% - 5/25/2011
The Fast Money traders break down the major business news of the day, including oil and silver's rise.
it's kind of interesting that visa people have some confidence in, yet the overall market, they continue to hedge themselves because they're not trusting the s&p. i think is that's the toughest part right now. we're trying to figure out which way is the break out because it does feel like one is coming right now. we do want to address the silver trade today, because it was a very volatile one. it was up by more than 3% on the slv, the etf that tracks the physical commodity. and after the very volatile trade that we' seen over the past four week, is it a surprise we're seeing silver climb back up here? we have david hightower, he said $50 by year's end. once again, $50 by year's end. brian talked about it last night. silver has been funny. if you go back and look since may 5, the silver market never really traded lower than that. i do believe it's going to catch people off-guard on the move to 50. i think again, i think silver has sufficiently scared enough people awra where now the time is to be long the silver market. it just feels like it's got another leg to it. do we need to see the same amount of speculation return in order to approach $50, though, an ounce? no, absolutely not. and i think the absence of that speculation will be one of the reasons why the prices -- i think a lot of people look at the initial stages of may and they're somewhat fearful of being in the silver trade. as silver proves itself again in terms of price later is this year, gets above 40, gets above 45, you're going to have people who were shaken out that are going to have to chase silver at much higher price levels. i get the sense that silver was a ma raj raleily for a lot people. silver was going bananas when the real metals were already starting to hit the skids. to me, i feel like silvl have probably seen its high for the year. if anything, i still like gold versus silver. if you look at that ratio, and we said it yesterday,

The Silver Thursday and Texan Bunker Hun
The recent rapid rise and fall in the price of silver has left many making comparisons with 1980's Silver Thursday and Texan Bunker Hunt. Silver soared to an all-time high on Thursday 28 April 2011 , Silver briefly climbed to within a whisker of 50 U.S. dollars per ounce, eclipsing the peak hit when Texan brothers William Herbert and Nelson Bunker Hunt sought to corner the silver market three decades ago. The metal later pulled back on technical selling. Options traders reported strong buying of long-dated in-the-money silver calls, indicating bullish investor expectation.

Victor Sperandeo Silver more volatile than the NASDAQ and the S&P
James Turk, Director of the GoldMoney Foundation interviews Victor Sperandeo President and CEO of Alpha Financial technologies and a Wall Street trader and financial commentator about what's going on with the Silver Market lately . Victor Sperandeo : the volatility of Silver using the standard deviation of the last ten years it's 32 percent it's more than double the S&P it's far more than the NASDAQ , it is the most volatile object on the face of the earth , the trading algorithms that make money on silver are the long term because they are fundamentally driven , Gold and Silver are long term fundamentally driven objects
Victor Sperandeo says the margin raise by the CME was logical....65% of the silver mined is used for industry and only the 35% remaining goes into investment purposes (bullion) instead of gold 90% of the mined production goes for investment and just 10% are used for industry ....the fundamentals for both silver and gold are positive
Perhaps the reason gold is used less for its physical properties in industry is because it is priced so high. Otherwise, they are both extremely important metals for past and future technologies.

David Morgan the 16:1 gold to silver ratio is wrong !
David Morgan from the Morgan Report talks about the 16:1 gold to silver ratio on Financial Sense Newshour May/20/2011 : David Morgan says that the 16 to 1 and the 15 to one silver to gold ratio that many analyst talk about is in fact the monetary ratio that was when both silver and gold were both money it was dictated when both silver and gold were accepted as money , you can trade 1 ounce of gold for 16 ounces of silver for example , but the natural ratio in the crust of the earth from as far as we know in all recorded history there are 42 billion ounces that were brought out of the earth in all of recorded history and regarding gold it is around 7 billion ounces regarding whose study you take so the real ratio is actually 6 that's the natural ratio says David Morgan I'd like to add to what Dave Morgan says in this interview that unlike Gold Silver is used up which means it is literally being burn just like oil and never recovered so the amount of silver in existence today is way lower than the amount of silver extracted , another factor is that 40% of silver extracted goes for the industry to never be recovered again a small portion of the silver production only goes for the investment sector in form of bullion , cause a lot of silver also goes to silverware etc..., unlike gold which production goes mostly to the making of gold ingots or jewelery , most of it is kept well stocked in banks vaults or personal safes

Japan owns more physical silver per capita in the world
Here our friend the Coach talking about the silver price drop : Japan is the country that owns more physical silver per capita , this probably explains the recent dive in silver prices short after the Japanese earthquake and tsunami , the Japanese in economic hardship were trying to sell their physical silver this cause the silver price to dive , I'd say this is a good explanation by the coach about what really happened to the silver market recently....

Eric Sprott : Silver to outshine gold over the coming years
In a recent interview with BNN canada Eric Sprott Chairman, CEO & Portfolio Manager of Toronto based Sprott Asset Management said : “Silver will be the investment of the decade.” “I think that silver could easily get to $50 this year,”
“If the price of silver continues to go up, silver stocks are going to perform even better,” “China’s net imports of silver were 112 million ounces last year. In 2005, they were net exporters of 100 million ounces,” he says.
“That’s a 200 million ounce shift in an 800 million ounce annual market that seldom ever grows because production hardly ever goes up. So where’s it all going to come from? We don’t know.”“Silver is the poor man’s gold. Gold has had a great run for the past 11 years. But I absolutely believe that silver will outperform gold this year. Currently, there’s more investment dollars going into silver than into gold.”
“It’s the easiest call of all time.”
“Silver as a currency always traded in a ratio of around 16 to 1 compared to gold, when it was a currency in the U.S. and the U.K. The current ratio is 48 to 1. If we go back to a 16 to 1 ratio, the implied price for silver would be $85.62 (per ounce).” he adds.“On that basis, if gold goes to $1,600, then that would value silver at $100. And we certainly think that gold is going to $1,600. In fact, I’m willing to bet that this ratio will overshoot on the downside. It might even get to 10 to one.” Eric Sprott explains that the only reason why the silver is still trading at a ratio of 48 to one to gold is because of the market manipulation by some big banks that are naked shorting silver

Bill Murphy on Gold Silver price manipulation
Goldseek Radio Special Guest Interview: Bill Murphy on gold price manipulation and his economic and precious metals outlook (lemetropolecafe.com)

Bill Murphy is a well-known financial commentator and is the Chairman
of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA.org).
Gold and Silver are so undervalued says Bill Murphy this is the greatest investment opportunity in History ....
Bill Murphy : "The Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA) was formed in January
1999 to expose and oppose the manipulation and suppression of the
price of gold. What we have learned over the past 11 years is of great
importance in regard to this hearing on position limits in the
precious metals futures markets. Our efforts to expose manipulation in
the gold market parallel those of Harry Markopolos to expose the
Madoff Ponzi scheme to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
"Initially we thought that the manipulation of the gold market was
undertaken as a coordinated profit scheme by certain bullion banks,
like JPMorgan, Chase Bank, and Goldman Sachs, and that it violated
federal and state anti-trust laws. But we soon discerned that the
bullion banks were working closely with the U.S. Treasury Department
and Federal Reserve in a gold cartel, part of a broad scheme of
manipulation of the currency, precious metals, and bond markets

Gold Silver Ratio
Gold and Silver Ratio in History :
The price of silver has been notoriously volatile as it can fluctuate between industrial and store of value demands. At times this can cause wide ranging valuations in the market, creating volatility.
Silver often tracks the gold price due to store of value demands, although the ratio can vary. The gold/silver ratio is often analyzed by traders, investors and buyers. In 1792, the gold/silver ratio was fixed by law in the United States at 1:15, which meant that one troy ounce of gold would buy 15 troy ounces of silver; a ratio of 1:15.5 was enacted in France in 1803. The average gold/silver ratio during the 20th century, however, was 1:47. The lower the ratio/number, the more expensive silver is compared to gold. Conversely the higher the ratio/number, the cheaper silver is compared to gold.
Silver price manipulation is evident in the gold to silver price ratio which should average between 10 and 20. That is, for every ounce of gold, you should be able to buy 10 to 20 ounces of silver.
You can, at the time of recording, buy 78 times the amount of silver than gold for the same money - and yet there is a major silver shortage!
The lenders of Silver are depleting their reserves faster than it is being mined and with the recent downturn - even less mining will occur and even less silver production will eventuate as its price gets close (at some stages below) the cost of production.Silver reserves approaching ZERO. Price explosion must follow!
• Right now it takes 42 ounces of silver to buy 1 oz. of Gold. (42 to 1)
• 700,000,000 ounces of silver was mined in 2009 versus 80,000,000 ounces of gold, which is about a 9 to 1 ratio.
• There was an estimated 40 Billion ounces ever mined of silver versus an estimated 5.3 Billion ounces of gold. That ratio is 7.5 to 1 ratio.
Silver has been consumed as an industrial metal, whereas gold has been cherished as a precious metal forever. As a result, there is still about 5 billion ounces of gold in the world. Silver inventories, on the other hand, have been decimated, with only an estimated 5 billion ounces now above ground. The other 39 billion ounces are in the landfills of the world in amounts too tiny to recover economically at today’s absurdly low silver prices. Maybe if the price of silver rises significantly enough, we will see massive recovery efforts in Staten Island.
•Historically the Silver/Gold Ratio has been 16/1 to 10/1, meaning that silver is presently about 4x undervalued.
•If the total amount of Gold and Silver above ground is equal to 5 billion ounces, that would put the ratio at 1/1. Thus, silver could be viewed as 42x undervalued!
•Total amount of physical Gold and Silver in monetary/bullion form would put the ratio at 1/5, with silver being 230x undervalued. (So the Silver to Gold ratio is 1 to 5–yes, there is less silver bullion above ground than there is gold.)
So if the price of Gold never went up and was based off of Silver market fundamentals, it should find some market balance. At that point you could, in the extreme case, trade your 42 ounces of silver for 210 ounces of gold! (1/5 silver to gold ratio.)
I agree with Mike Maloney that the gold/silver ratio will go well below the historical 16:1 ratio because of the factors that now exist in the world economy, i.e., historic money printing on a global scale and loss of confidence in the world reserve currency which is the US dollar. There has never been global economic conditions like this before and silver will benefit greatly from it. It's the poor man's gold and is much more accessible to the average person.
Roaring 20s brought it down to 16:1
Great Depression, ratio went to 100:1, no significant industrial use
After the post WW2 boom, it went way down, industrial use and electronics
Early 1970s, US off gold standard and individuals could own gold - look how it went up
Hunt Brothers event bottoming it out at 9:1
Then it went back up, over 90:1 during the recession of the 1990s
Dot-com boom sent it under 60:1
Panic of 2008 sent it over 80:1 - deflation, less industry use
Recent stimulus sent it to 60:1
100 years ago, a Ford factory worker made 5 dollars a day, ( 3.87 oz ) of silver in 5 Morgan dollars.
Today, 3.87oz Ag = $116.
Which is an average wage for a skilled worker.
Also, 100 years ago, 5 Morgan dollars had a similar purchasing power as $116 today.
Silver is not in a bubble.
whatever happens silver will skyrocket its demand from industry is unattainable at this lever n it will have to RISE way above what some experts predicted it will

• Right now it takes 42 ounces of silver to buy 1 oz. of Gold. (42 to 1)
• 700,000,000 ounces of silver was mined in 2009 versus 80,000,000 ounces of gold, which is about a 9 to 1 ratio.
• There was an estimated 40 Billion ounces ever mined of silver versus an estimated 5.3 Billion ounces of gold. That ratio is 7.5 to 1 ratio.
Silver has been consumed as an industrial metal, whereas gold has been cherished as a precious metal forever. As a result, there is still about 5 billion ounces of gold in the world. Silver inventories, on the other hand, have been decimated, with only an estimated 5 billion ounces now above ground. The other 39 billion ounces are in the landfills of the world in amounts too tiny to recover economically at today’s absurdly low silver prices. Maybe if the price of silver rises significantly enough, we will see massive recovery efforts in Staten Island.
•Historically the Silver/Gold Ratio has been 16/1 to 10/1, meaning that silver is presently about 4x undervalued.
•If the total amount of Gold and Silver above ground is equal to 5 billion ounces, that would put the ratio at 1/1. Thus, silver could be viewed as 42x undervalued!
•Total amount of physical Gold and Silver in monetary/bullion form would put the ratio at 1/5, with silver being 230x undervalued. (So the Silver to Gold ratio is 1 to 5–yes, there is less silver bullion above ground than there is gold.)
So if the price of Gold never went up and was based off of Silver market fundamentals, it should find some market balance. At that point you could, in the extreme case, trade your 42 ounces of silver for 210 ounces of gold! (1/5 silver to gold ratio.)
I agree with Mike Maloney that the gold/silver ratio will go well below the historical 16:1 ratio because of the factors that now exist in the world economy, i.e., historic money printing on a global scale and loss of confidence in the world reserve currency which is the US dollar. There has never been global economic conditions like this before and silver will benefit greatly from it. It's the poor man's gold and is much more accessible to the average person.
Roaring 20s brought it down to 16:1
Great Depression, ratio went to 100:1, no significant industrial use
After the post WW2 boom, it went way down, industrial use and electronics
Early 1970s, US off gold standard and individuals could own gold - look how it went up
Hunt Brothers event bottoming it out at 9:1
Then it went back up, over 90:1 during the recession of the 1990s
Dot-com boom sent it under 60:1
Panic of 2008 sent it over 80:1 - deflation, less industry use
Recent stimulus sent it to 60:1
100 years ago, a Ford factory worker made 5 dollars a day, ( 3.87 oz ) of silver in 5 Morgan dollars.
Today, 3.87oz Ag = $116.
Which is an average wage for a skilled worker.
Also, 100 years ago, 5 Morgan dollars had a similar purchasing power as $116 today.
Silver is not in a bubble.
whatever happens silver will skyrocket its demand from industry is unattainable at this lever n it will have to RISE way above what some experts predicted it will
MAKE SURE YOU GET PHYSICAL SILVER IN YOUR OWN POSSESSION. Don't Buy SLV, or Futures or Pooled Accounts or any other BS paper silver product .Remember anything on paper is worth the paper it is written on. Go Long Stay long the bull market have even started yet
