OK, I'm game.... you explain it to me... No copy-paste explanations.
They sit on their huge silver inventory and write futures contracts at a premium to deliver the silver in the future. They get paid the time value, risk free. If the uninformed public runs silver up, they will just sell more futures at a higher price. You help them.
Unless, of course, people cash in that paper. MAJOR problem.
But this is all about shorts...
What about shorts? You can't explain, can you?
