So, what's next?

Next is for the daily bullion price to hit $1,000.00.

Today gold closed up $11.70 at $995.10 and silver closed up .55 at $20.56.  So far this week gold is up $22.70 and silver is up .42.

All silver lease forward rates have increased for the third day in a row.  For the 1st time in weeks  the bullion Banks are no longer paying the paper players to enter contracts.  The rates are still within reason but if this continues there will be a sharp spike in the price of silver in the very near future.

Sapper, absolutely.   The shorts will be forced to pay in gold and silver (which they do not have) or cover in cash.  This should force the PM price up sharply.  The short holders have been covering for about seven weeks now and during that time gold has gone from $880.50 to the current $1,000.00 and silver has gone from $16.09 to the current $20.62.  The covering has only just begun.  It should go on for several more weeks.

Today gold closed up $7.40 at $1002.50 and silver closed up .11 at $20.67.  For the week gold is up $30.10 and silver is up .53.
