I don't get it.

Paper "silver" is trading for like $28/oz. Real, physical silver is trading for like $40/oz.

Supposedly, you can redeem this paper silver for real silver.

If that's true, then why the fuck isn't every paper silver holder redeeming en masse so they can sell their $28 silver for $40? And then use profits to buy more paper silver, rinse, and repeat?

Really makes you fucking think.

Pretty much every issuer of paper silver allows for redemption, but they put really obscene restrictions such as "You can only redeem 10,000 oz at a time or more" in order to prevent little guys from redeeming.

I mean if you have that much money to spend on silver, it might be a good scam to pull if you bought and then immediately turned around and sold for current physical prices.

So why shouldn't I take out a loan right now for $280,000, buy 10,000 oz of paper silver at $28/oz, and redeem it and then sell the physical silver for $40 an oz? Netting me $120,000, then I pay the interest on the loan which would probably be very low since I am only holding it for a few weeks max...

Or what's stopping a rich anon from doing this with his own money, no loan required?

Thats for a quick flip. But honestly dude if this keeps going the whole economy is gonna tank. I'm more than down to accelorate but in the end if you sell and paper money basicly becomes useless.

If anything goes down and its not a "civil war" but a depression type deal or however it plays out. I like to stay stocked up on shit and if someone wants to buy things off me a wad of useless cash but will trade for some shinny metal ( Lead, copper, silver, gold)

What is stopping me from selling the silver to people up front right now, before I've taken delivery? I.e, I place a listing on eBay for a bar of silver and say "It may take me a long time to ship due to massive volume!" and then somebody pays me the money up front at $40/oz...

Then I use their money to buy the paper silver, convert it to physical silver, and even if it takes PSLV 3 weeks to deliver it, I already got the money up front and I can just tell my buyer to wait...

I live 25km from a private mint. What is stopping me from bringing my 1000oz bars in to them and asking them to melt them into smaller bars for me? For example, make me 1000oz bars?

Even if I paid them $5/oz to do it for me, which would be very high, I would STILL be profiting $7/oz. $7 x 10,000 = $70,000!

This is why a silver squeeze will NEVER HAPPEN.

A stock squeeze of this magnitude with GME was able to happen because hundreds/thousands of little guys could all buy GME anywhere from 1 to 9,000 stock and contribute.

If the only way to contribute to the silver squeeze is to buy at least 10,000 oz silver and request physical... Then they will always be safe from a squeeze. They can always keep selling more paper ('imaginary') silver as people buy anything less than 10,000 oz.

If Melvin really did close their shorts they have an obligation to make an official statement that they have done so. If they have really closed the shorts, then not making an official statement regarding this chaos is irresponsible and they should be held liable for that. The fact that they have issued no such statement however, is proof that they have not closed the shorts.

GME never had a chance of causing anything but a tiny ripple in the financial markets. They would do what ever they needed to cover their shorts and you would pay for it. Silver on the other hand could crash the entire thing. All it would take isTaking some pocket change and removing physical silver from the market. No one is telling anyone to dump GME (i could care less) Just to buy a few ounces of physical silver.
