Following hot on the heels of his blockbuster physical gold ETF, which at times has been trading at a premium as high as 30% over NAV, indicating the willingness of investors to pay over fair value just to know that their asset claims wouldn't be diluted to nothingness on a moment's notice (here's looking at you GLD), the Canadian asset manager is launching a comparable physical ETF, this time investing with silver: the Sprott Physical Silver Trust. This is not looking good for the LBMA and JPM - since the silver market is allegedly even tighter than gold, yet just as manipulated by JPM and the LBMA (as evidenced by our earlier post on intraday gold prices) and locating physical can be far more problematic, the elimination of a few thousands tonnes of the precious metal out of circulation is sure to create quite a few sleepless nights for Jamie Dimon's PM manipulation club, who may suddenly find itself with a massive short position covered by even less actual deliverable, bringing the much anticipated monumental short squeeze one day closer. For all those wondering just how the silver market is manipulated and why control over the precious metal is so critical, we refer to a previous post: A Deep Insider's Walkthru To Silver Market Manipulation.
