Now silver is flying thanks to Reddit . Silver rose by as much as 11% to $30 an ounce , its highest value since 2013.  The moves are the latest example of small-time traders buying stocks and other assets that large Wall Street funds bet against, resulting in large losses for major investors.  Some users in the Reddit forums WallStreetBets and WallStreetSilver argued that silver is a heavily manipulated market, and a surge in the silver price could hurt large financial services companies.  " If you don't care about the gains, think about the banks like JP Morgan you'd be destroying along the way ," said Reddit user RocketBoomGo, in a widely circulated post . Isn't it terrible the way these investors are manipulating the market.  Meanwhile, the Dow is being manipulated 600 points above Friday's Futures close by PROFESSIONAL manipulators (see the difference?) who have jacked the index up 2% in very thin, pre-market trading NOT by getting a bunch of retail investors to buy but but getting a bunch of professional analysts to upgrade the prospects of key Dow components so they will be re-pricied at the open forcing PASSIVE INVESTORS to pay higher prices when the index fund purchases are triggered on the open market.   See?  That is the way the markets are SUPPOSED to operate.  Giving people an opinion in an open forum and leaving the action of the marketplace up to thousands of individual investors – now that is un-American!         IN PROGRESS
