It's been a wild four weeks in the physical silver space -- and the only explanations for these massive withdrawals was a conversion of paper silver shares for physical metal and/or the silver was more desperately needed elsewhere. A net 32.149 million troy ounces of silver were taken out during the prior 4-week time period. The largest 'out' amount were the 34.928 million oz. out of the COMEX...followed by the 11.477 million out of SLV.
