Episode notes
Price On Screen Can Mask Physical Shortages
- Paper prices can decouple from physical inventories, signaling systemic instability rather than stability.
- 47.6 million ounces left COMEX vaults in four days while futures prices barely moved, showing the market price didn't reflect actual metal on hand.

- Derivatives are layered promises that amplify instability the further they are from the underlying asset.
- COMEX held 103 million ounces of real silver against 760 million ounces of paper claims, a roughly 7:1 paper-to-physical ratio.
Custodian Banks Can Sell Metal They Do Not Own
- Custodian banks can be both holder and counterparty, creating conflicts that risk promises to holders.
- J.P. Morgan was fined $920 million for selling silver it did not own while acting as custodian for the SLV ETF.
