I do wish there was a historical link to his previous missives, it would show his predictions are perfectly inverse to what the market does - often almost imediately. I have found his predictions to be utterly reliable in reverse.

If whenever he starts recomending the buying of gold - I will be selling.

Butler and Hommel don't > understand trading silver basis. Whatever. I like how Nadler's reasoning for why you can't find silver coins at low prices contradicts his reasoning as to why you couldn't find silver coins at high prices. He's like the Jim Cramer of precious metals. Blah blah blah blah blah is all I hear from him. It's not that he doesn't know what is going on, it's that he's just so freaking full of shit about what is going on and why. Cramers job is to influence the public not to inform them, same thing Nadler's job is. Anybody that has gone through the agony of listening to either of these blowhards knows enough just to ignore them.]]> Tue, 24 Mar 2009 18:45:43 -0400 The entire article is worth the read.

In the futures market there is a long for every short. It's a zero sum game. Some people have erroneously written that when someone is short, they have to cover. Not so. Futures traders (I am one of them) can roll over a long or short position indefinitely and this is routine procedure to maintain a position in the market.

Futures market selling can easily overwhelm a small market like silver and the only way that selling to artificially depress prices would fail is if the longs stand for delivery and the shorts don't have it to deliver. At that point there would be a short squeeze until the number of the shorts in the market with product to deliver matched the number of longs who wanted delivery.

In the futures markets, less than one percent of contracts are delivered, which is is so easy to manipulate the market.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/94020-jon-nadler-proves-precious-metals-manipulation?source=feed#comment-248057 248057 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 07:01:18 -0400

Excerpt: "It is puerile to assume that most professional traders are naked short in silver, just as it would be sheer ignorance to suggest that most professional traders of grain are naked short in corn. They are not. You may rest assured that their corn is well in place in a grain elevator
somewhere. If the elevator is registered with the commodity exchange, then the hedger may post a reduced margin on his position. But the elevator need not be registered, in which case the hedger posts full margin. While this is not typical in the grain trade, it is quite common in the silver trade. Rightly of wrongly, the silver trade is surrounded with far more secrecy than the grain trade. This has to do with the fact that silver is considered a monetary commodity by many in the first place, and an industrial commodity only in the second. We must understand that lots of people are accumulating silver not so much for the ride to $1000, which may or
may not happen, but in protest against low interest rates on passbook savings and certificates of deposit. They are happy to post full margin instead of the lower hedge margin on their short position in silver in exchange for anonymity. Of course, the exchange knows that theirs
is a hedge position, but must treat this information as confidential. So must the C.F.T.C."
