I wondered about that too. Usually the case with on-the-street interviews.

Personally, I would take the non-food choice over the food choice when taking something free from a stranger on the street.

What's really funny is if you took away the fake naked short silver derivatives... i.e. they sell billions worth of 'fake' silver at a 'fake' price and manipulate the price downwards, there is a real shot that once this is made illegal, or the TBTF's doing it go under, that $150 bar of silver could easily be $1500.

That's one of the biggest problems with derivatives, besides the 1.4 quadrillion or so in implosion risk taking everything down with it.... the fact that all this time they are completely manipulating EVERY COMMODITY.

You remember $150 oil? You remember the price at the pump? Thank FAKE DERIVATIVES.

The simple fact is if 95-99 percent of sales that affect the price of a commodity, aren't actually real, and they are just paper sales, with no one ever actually intending to take delivery of said commodity, what you have is basically a fake price for everything.

I had the same thought, I don't trust some stranger giving me a candy bar.

Was thinking the same thing the entire time. Don't get why you wouldn't take the Silver and take the chance of it being worth something?? Worst case is you lose out on a .50 cent chocolate bar!
