We continue to believe (a) tapering is about bubble management, and (b) the ba
Silver has suffered a miserable year so far, bludgeoned by gold’s unprecedented selling anomaly. The exceptional weakness in both metals was greatly exacerbated by futures speculators piling on short-side bets. But with silver shorts...
