Over the past 12 hours, silver has experienced three sizable takedowns as the banksters attempt to follow through on their margin call trickery from yesterday. Normally, such plunges would weaken the silver market for weeks if not months but only hourly repairs appear to be required now.

This is a new silver market as bankster shorts are forced to the edge by freer market forces. No doubt further raids will occur but how silver performs after this latest raid will reveal its strength and the growing weakness of the shorts.

Penson et al will become emboldened by the CME move yesterday but the pressure on them as well is building.
