Silver For Billionaires
Gerald Hug

In a recent article by Jason Hommel he mentions how difficult it is for billionaires to invest their billions in the physical silver market. His article is posted at: http://www.silverstockreport.com/2008/billionaires.html
I agree with Mr. Hommel that it would be difficult, if done in the conventional manner, but would be much easier if an unconventional strategy was used. If the following plan was implemented and pursued aggressively a cartel of billionaires could control a significant amount of silver and cause the price to increase dramatically.

1. Buy a controlling interest in a number of producing silver mines.
2. Buy a controlling interest in several large silver refiners.
3. Reduce production.

Critics will say "That can't be done. That would be rigging the market" Very true. Name one market for me that is not rigged.

I believe that in 5 to 10 years the price of silver will be at least as high as the price of gold. The plan presented above would cause that to happen. I also believe there are many billionaires throughout the world looking for the next "sure thing" Silver is the next sure thing.
