Silver has popped below $30.00 per oz

Gold has dropped below $1600.00

In our opinion is an excellent opportunity to buy in at cheaper levels before the market explodes again.

Silver Producers: A Call to Action
By: Eric Sprott & David Baker

“As we approach the end of 2011, the silver spot price has admittedly endured a tougher road than we would have expected. And let’s be honest – what investment firm on earth has pounded the table on silver harder than we have? After the orchestrated silver sell-off in May 2011 (please see June 2011 MAAG article entitled, “Caveat Venditor”), silver promptly rose back to US$40/oz where it consolidated nicely, only to drop back below US$30 within a two week span in late September.1 The September sell-off was partly due to the market’s disappointment over Bernanke’s Operation Twist, which sounded interesting but didn’t involve any real money printing. Like the May sell-off before it, however, it was also exacerbated by a seemingly needless 21% margin rate hike by the CME on September 23rd, followed by a 20% margin hike by the Shanghai Gold Exchange – the CME’s counterpart in China, three days later.”

One Comex contract for silver is for 5,000 ounces.
Average inventory of silver available for delivery is 30M ounces.
Silver production for the year is about 800M ounces a year.
Supposedly more than 45 thousand contracts traded on Feb. 29 or about 255M ounces.
In a matter of hours, paper silver sold 8.5 times more than inventory available for sale.

So do I believe that the silver market is manipulated?

“(Reuters) – The fall in gold prices has prompted one or more central banks to buy as much as four tonnes of bullion in recent weeks, according to an industry source and a Financial Times report on Friday.”

“So while the precious metals market may appear quiet on the surface, there are some meaningful crosscurrents going on underneath. Today’s action is another good example that the paper shorts can only push the gold and silver market so far, even with news that should have helped them pressure prices….

“That limit – which we have seen time and again over the years – is when the demand for physical metal starts to overpower the selling pressure in futures, forwards, options and other markets for paper-gold, which is what we saw today.

I think more and more people are starting to recognize this seemingly endless daisy-chain, Eric. Banks gets bailed out by governments, and then governments get bailed out when banks buy their paper. Central banks provide the grease to make it all happen with their ongoing money printing. For example, Spanish banks are borrowing EUR 152 billion from the ECB, three times the amount from one year ago.

So in the end, nothing gets resolved. All the bad debts remain. Even worse, more debt is added creating an ever greater burden. That is not a solution, and as I have said before, the so-called ‘can’ the central planners have been kicking down the road is now a 2-ton boulder.

It is only a matter of days – or weeks at most – before more banks and governments strap on the ECB’s bottomless feedbag to try keep their head above water. But importantly, money printing does nothing to fix so many insolvent banks – and insolvent governments too – here in Europe.

The next step for the precious metals, Eric, is to start probing overhead resistance. There are two levels to watch on silver, with $34 coming first, but the critical level, of course, is the $35 level we’ve been talking about for months now.

The key areas for gold are $1,700 first followed by the $1,800 level. If gold can decisively break above $1,800, the big move I have been expecting will be well under way. There is a fly in the ointment here. Next week is the important gold option expiry and we know from past experience that the shorts try to pressure prices during expiration.”
