It appears that the shorts are in total control of the sector now. No matter what management does, I don't think it would make a difference.

Look at SLW since the beginning of March. Not allowed to outperform SLV. Every time it does, wham, slammed down a buck or two, while SLV blithely (yes, a pun) continues to rise.

PM investment $ MUST be forced into GLD and SLV through the underperformance of ALL others, through massive shorting, and naked shorting...whatever it takes. Regulators MUST be compromised for this to occur, so my conclusions are pretty obvious.

The question is...how to foil "them"? Their desired end result may be to vacuum in 80% of PM investments, then default on SLV, GLD, COMEX, and LBMA. In the meantime, all PM production has already been scooped up at bargain basement prices during the shorting campaign.

Be right, and sit tight, and accumulate on every dip. Trading outside one's core position is getting more and more difficult, as the shorting algorithms are being constantly tuned and improved. In fact, doing DD is getting easier....just look for the most highly suppressed mining companies (like ECU..LOL), and buy them. The fraudulent bankster scum have already done the DD, and short the most, the ones they want the most.

Once again, how can anyone stop the illegal goings-on, if the "regulators" are complicit. And joe 6-pack thinks you are nuts anyhow, and will be of no use until just before the defaults....as usual.

Comments & suggestions anyone?

Good luck!
