Back on April 7...the Big 8 were short 43,407 COMEX contracts when silver was $72 the ounce. As of yesterday's COT Report, the Big 8 short position in silver was 46,117 contracts...with silver at $50 as of the Tuesday cut-off.

All that stands in the way of a rather spectacular 3-digit silver price...as it's always been...are the Big 8 collusive commercial shorts. If not for them...we'd already be there.
