Silver futures trading has nothing to do with metal's real price, Sprott says

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold (and Silver):

Interviewed by King World News this week, Sprott Asset Management CEO Eric Sprott discusses, among many things, the silver shortage, worldwide food shortages and inflation, and the likely massive gold offtake caused by millions of new retail gold accounts at banks in China. Regarding silver, Sprott says "99.9 percent" of daily silver futures trading has nothing to do with the physical market. The interview is about 18 minutes long and you can listen to it at King World News here:
