>must feel horrible to be a slv shortie these days, liquidations are through the roof
The big boys doing the shorting are backstopped by the Fed. Keeping the price of silver from going on a tear helps preserve the confidence in the US Federal Reserve Notes. So long a silver goes up slowly and haltingly enough, it won't catch enough momentum to trigger a bull run.
It's not about keeping silver at a certain price anymore like it used to be. Now it's about managing the rise.
