By SilverSeek

As bullish as I am on precious metals going forward, it is important to realize that manipulation is still occurring and there are banks with access to nearly unlimited funds and extreme leverage via futures markets that can slam the price down at will. They are finally being exposed and even fined for the manipulation, putting an end the cries of “conspiracy theory.” But I am not convinced that they are out of the market quite yet.

COMEX Managed Money Record Silver Shorts More Like Insurance than a One Way Bet

June 17, 2014
By Chris Mullen, Chief Content Manager

Trend following hedge funds have built up a record high number of short contracts in silver futures, but evidence we study shows that it is more likely a form of “insurance” than a simple one-way bet.
