Alasdair Macleod: The paper silver crisis has begun

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

In a five-minute video at Egon von Greyerz's blog at Substack, economist Alasdair Macleod explains how the great silver squeeze has begun, with the New York, London, and even Shanghai markets now having only a small fraction of the real metal necessary to meet huge pending demands for delivery.

Macleod warns investors not to put their trust in silver exchange-traded funds, since ownership of their shares does not give them ownership of metal and since ETF shares are often raided by bullion banks for market-manipulation purposes.

The commentary is headlined "The Paper Silver Crisis Has Begun" and can b e viewed here:

Bullion Star Opens in the U.S., Selling and Vaulting Gold and Silver

Bullion Star is now open in the United States, offering gold and silver bullion at extremely competitive prices with free delivery. Bullion Star also offers customers a year of free vault storage along with free delivery as well as storage in its secure precious metals vault in Dallas, Texas.

Storing precious metals is challenging. Homeowner's insurance seldom covers precious metals, and safe deposit boxes offered by banks are neither insured nor covered by the government deposit insurance. Bullion Star's vault is an independently run, Class III UL-rated vault with uncompromising surveillance and round-the-clock security.

With Bullion Star you can transact and store your metals securely and confidentially. Your bullion is fully insured against all risks at full replacement value. Bullion Star uses five audit methods to verify the existence and correctness of your stored bullion.
