If they had any Silver in ( small product ) production they would have it listed For Sale.Admitting there is a shortage would trigger panic.
How is a shortage defined?
Is it based on the amount of silver they have in the vault, or the amount coming in vs going out?
If they're at full production capacity and can't keep up, I'd assume there is more going out the door than coming.
I'd call that a shortage even if they still have a fair bit in the vault.
"it isn’t in the specific forms being requested by our customers". Could mean they have a million tons of it, but it's still in the ground.![]()
