The fundamentals of silver mean sweet fugall. It is a Strategic metal that is needed in vast quantities for weapons manufacturing and that's it. Forget about it being money as those days are long gone, as is the same with gold TV, and MSM have done the con job well on the flock of sheep fiat rules because the sheep are blind as they get fleeced of their wealth.
There's gotta be way more to it than that. If the US had 10 billion Oz's stockpiled, then they would've just kept it as a strategic stockpile and allowed silver to trade in the free market. Instead, they've statically used these stockpiles to intervene in the markets, so there must be a bigger picture to it all.
And the fundamentals mean everything. It's just you have to factor in aboveground stockpiles being used to suppress the price into the fundamentals.
