As you may know, most dealers are out of 100 oz. bars, cannot get any, cannot find any. I believe most major dealers regularly hedge in paper, as a standard business practice, and cannot now find bars from the public to buy, because the public is now buying more than selling.  Dealers are getting hit… Continue reading Market Demand for 100 oz. silver bars
