Silver Hit $66, But Dealers Won’t Buy It. (The Freeze Begins)
URGENT MARKET WARNING:
While the spot price of silver hits record highs ($66+), a terrifying phenomenon is happening on the ground. Local Coin Shops (LCS) and major Refiners are suddenly refusing to buy back silver from the public.
In this deep dive by Lifestyle Finance, they expose the “Silver Freeze”—a liquidity crisis caused by the breakdown of the global hedging market. With lease rates hitting 39% and the market in “Deep Backwardation,” refiners can no longer hedge their inventory, forcing them to stop buying.
In this video, you will discover: The Refiner’s Dilemma: Why backwardation makes it mathematically impossible for refiners to buy your silver without losing money.
The 39% Signal: How skyrocketing lease rates prove the banks are out of metal.
The “Phantom Stock” Scam: Why online dealers are delaying shipments for weeks (and what it means for your order).
The Exit Strategy: How to liquidate your stack when the dealers close their doors. The “Buy” button works. The “Sell” button is broken. Don’t get trapped.
