That's what we're all wondering!

The theory is that the silver market is being manipulated by (unbacked) paper silver trades, people buy them thinking there are vaults filled with silver bullion that they can take physical possession of. But it's just paper. Real world silver bullion is already trading 2x the supposed silver price. When investors can make more money selling physical bullion, the paper silver holders will demand their physical bullion then... ut oh. The vaults are empty!
