Besides the report below from tonight's MIDAS, I can confirm that as of last Friday that Kitco had no silver except for a few 1000 oz. silver bars.

From an email received today,,,first my comments re the BNS:

Rudeness is a trait we have seen for years. The more one hauls out of the vaults, the ruder they are. For those not in the know,... "downtown" is Toronto at the ScotiaMocatta vaults (BNS). So by my calculations, 60 x 1000 ounce bars went out the door in less than a week! To my knowledge, this may be the first time that the shelves have been totally bare!

conspiracy or not... my local Scotia branch called downtown. I wanted to purchase silver.
The teller told me lately they are very rude on the quote line.
She was on hold for about 2 mins... they answered.. she started asking ... instant answer... we have no silver...
i asked to confirm and she said none..
