It will be interesting to see what kind of physical deficit we had this year.
Bix Weir and a few others have proven the Silver Institute and Metals Focus have been intentionally manipulating the data on solar panel (photovoltaic) demand. Deficit projections for 2024 were between 200-400 Mozs. If that doesn't tell us the market is manipulated then nothing else will. This is why I refuse to pay any attention to the charts. The charts aren't meaningless, but they aren't far from it. I'm more interested in trying to discover how much physical silver is available in stockpiles for them to continuously intervene in the markets. Until it's all depleted, and only then, will we see the true value of silver realised.
^^ Doesn't all of this make you wonder WHY it's so important to suppress the price of Silver? What do they really have to gain from it all? It's not a $$ thing, otherwise they'd let silver go and sell their stockpiles at the top. All I can think of is that awareness of Silver leads to education of the system, and education of the system leads to power to the individual and unity of the masses. But maybe there's more to it?...
