Silver's Open Interest Nears 100,000

Silver's OI declined by 4,560 contracts or roughly 4% yesterday.
How much more blood can The Morgue squeeze out of a boulder with Open Interest nearing the 100,000 mark?
It will take a Herculean effort to get a substantial amount of additional longs to capitulate for the cartel.
Never count them out for trying however....
