  Cornering the market - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although there have been many attempts to corner markets in everything from tin to cattle, to date very few of these attempts have ever succeeded.
When the price starts to move against the cornering party they are in a very difficult position, as it is likely to be impossible to exit much of their position without catastrophically moving prices against themselves.
Another recent example was that of Yasuo Hamanaka, who in 1996 attempted to corner the copper market, resulting in a loss of 1.8 billion dollars for the Sumitomo Corporation and an eight year prison sentence for Hamanaka.

 How to Corner the Silver Market
If we focus our attention on the silver market of the recent past, the most significant event in the last few years was the announcement of Warren Buffett's purchase of 129 million ounces.
The futures market was in backwardation -- but, most importantly, the silver lease rates went through the roof, indicating that silver that HAD TO COME TO MARKET NOW was bringing a huge premium.
If the "paper" and "physical" silver markets were in true equilibrium (as the ten-year price chart erroneously indicates they are), then a large buyer might change the price slightly -- but not to the extent Buffett's physical purchase did.
