By Wall St. For Main St. / February 02, 2021 / marketsanity.com / Article Link

Jason shares his thoughts on the new silver short squeeze that the Wall Street Bets crowd is trying by cleaning out physical silver from bullion dealers and buying up shares of First Majestic Silver. (NYSE: AG).

Unfortunately, this has been tried in the past and the CME Group, which owns the COMEX, LBMA and bullion banks changed the rules a lot in a short amount of time in 2011 to stop paper silver prices from rising and then the silver price crashed in mid 2011 and ended up a bear market for over 7 years after that thanks to paper price manipulation.
