We speculated whether the whole purpose of silver's manipulated sell-off might have been to induce silver liquidation by the SLV ETF, so JP Morgue could gobble up physical silver to supply their new vault (I mean seriously, where else is Blythe likely to find silver in any serious volume, outside of Eric Sprott's vault or The Doc's stash??)
A week has now passed, and today The Doc decided to check depository statistics for the Commodity Exchange to see what Blythe and friends have been up during the past week.
First, we'll refresh readers with how things stood in the Morgue's silver vault as of last Wednesday, 5/11.
Upon completing the massive 2 day silver stacking binge, the Morgue held 750,761 ounces of the shiny stuff.

Which brings us to today. Interestingly, today is the first day this week that the Commodity Exchange gave us the pleasure of updating their data.
If JP Morgue has been accumulating silver in any sort of LEGAL MANNER, their inventories should be much higher today, one week later, after silver has consolidated in the low $30's for the past week.

So silver has consolidated in the low-mid $30's for the past week, and JP Morgue DID NOT ADD 1 SINGLE OUNCE OF PHYSICAL SILVER TO THEIR NEW BULLION VAULT SINCE THE 2 DAY TAKE-DOWN ENDED ON 5/11!!
Although obviously circumstantial, the evidence continues to mount that the cartel orchestrated MONSTER SILVER SMASH of the first 2 weeks of May was for THE EXPRESS INTENTION of triggering liquidations of SLV silver bullion to the benefit of JP Morgue's new silver vault.
The Doc will continue to closely monitor the depository data, and we will especially be interested in what the data reveals after the next cartel take-down.
