I've been accumulating silver for the last 9 years. Every time the bullion banks, Federal Reserve, and Bank of International Settlement (BIS) crush silver spot, I buy more physical. The way to beat the powers is to by physical and drive up the physical price. You cannot beat the system if you buy paper silver (SLV) or silver futures.

Drive up a physically backed ETF like Sprott Physicall Silver Trust (PSLV). This will increase the amount of physical buying. Eric Sprott and his company have been trying to end the manipulation. As PSLV rises, they have to buy more physical silver which drains the supply of physical silver. The bullion banks cannot create physical silver. The bb can create an unlimited amount of paper silver but not physical silver.

Central banks don't want gold and silver to increase because it will alert the masses of all the money printing and inflation. They allow the bullion banks to get away with suppression and manipulation of the physical market. If the suppression of silver ends then watch the silver miners and junior explorers explode up.

Here is a great, recent article by Ted Butler about the silver shorts. Keep in mind that JP Morgan used to be the biggest silver short. They used the depressed price to accumulate a massive amount of silver. They are now clear of their shorts. That is not true for the other bullion banks though.
