There have been two trends in precious metals markets in recent weeks which I find very alarming. On the one hand, we see the large "shorts" (JP Morgan and HSBC) in the bullion market ratcheting-up their short positions again.

One of the problems with soaking-up the "conventional wisdom" on any particular subject is the risk of mistakenly being misled by a widely-held misconception, instead. Such is the case when the subject of "primary silver mines" comes up...
