You'll have to look into market manipulation, but the general gist is you need to buy up physical silver because the "market" buys and sells shares of silver (meaning, they don't really have it - they sell the same piece of silver several times hoping that not everyone comes to collect their silver at the same time). I'm sure some people will play the short game - buy up silver now and sell when prices soar - but when fiat is worthless what good does that do? Long story short - the market-fiat-manipulation-scam will only last for so long - when it crumbles - and it will - the US dollar will fail and will no longer be the world reserve currency. At that point, physical metals and goods will be the only things we have of actual value - our paper money will be (already is) worthless - the illusion will be smashed.
