Obviously the SHORTS have sold to banks/players who believe the opposite that the price will go up.

So there is a battle going on and it seems to me that the only issue here is why a couple of banks can have such a large short position. Are there no rules re position limits?
If so, then they should be enforced. If not, introduce them.

I should imagine that the grumblers on this so called and maybe remotely true silver price manipulation would be extremely happy if 2 banks were holding an extremely large and obscene 30% of the long positions.
Further I should point out that Silver almost trebled from Jan 04 to Dec 08 (report period?), and almost trebled again till April 2011 ???
