Loading ...I also know the futures market is 95% abnormal. Naked shorting is abnormal. High margin is abnormal. Did you read the Plunge Protection team post? If prices are going too far against the wishes of TPTB, they have Goldman to buy or sell the opposite way.
Eventually, the growing distortions, too high or too low, cause natural market forces to take hold. In this recent low price situation? Regarding the 5% of the futures market players, that actually make and or take delivery?
A stalemate. The producers might be holding back delivers. Why sell now if your actual PRODUCT will be worth more next year? The actual BUYERS of physical. 5% of the market? May want to buy as much as they can get for their manufacturing and businesses.
Like I said long ago. Prices change the supply and or the demand. Until the distortion gets extreme. You end up with too much or too little supply, and the worm turns. A zillion years of low silver prices might be ready for a reaction.
Remember oil at $145? Silver at $50? Gold at $1900? Caused over production. Here we are years later and oil fell to $26. I think it may be 2001 all over again. A distorted high Dow and distorted low Commodities prices.
We have Bozos constantly rotating the value of the unit of account, and prices on the futures market, for the greater good. You want high food and fuel prices, because then you will be able to GET food and fuel. Prices too low and suppliers go out of business. Its all a feast of famine situation.
Now, what tickers are you holding? If you show me yours, I’ll show you mine. 🙂
