Confidence in Western financial markets has already been shaken enough by the 20% devaluation of the dollar over the last few years. But now the European Commission wants to hand Ukraine $300 billion seized from Russia. Doing so likely would sound the death knell for the dollar and eventually the euro.

Not enough silver to support more paper slams, Turk tells King World News

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold (and Silver):

Commenting to Eric King at King World News, GoldMoney founder James Turk says silver's sharp fall on Friday began when the London physical market closed and the New York paper market took over. But Turk thinks it unlikely that there will be too many more paper slams of silver because some metal is needed to support such slams and the shorts just don't have enough.

Turk's comments can be found at King World News here:
