Clearly COMEX silver inventory volatility is increasing almost exponentially now, as customer confidence in the integrity of the exchange itself is now shattered in the wake of the MF Global theft as the CME has refused to make the customers good on the MF Global/JPM theft, and the bullion banks scramble to shift the remaining phyzz under their control around to meet delivery requests and put out fires.
