International silver dropped sharply yesterday, falling 12% directly from its peak. But looking from another perspective, the domestic retail investors' silver LOF experienced an even more outrageous decline—rising to a high of 3.116 yuan before, now down to 2.38 yuan, a retracement of 23%. It’s worth noting that this product was once traded at a 50% premium.

What's the funniest part? International silver started to rebound this morning, but the LOF is still declining. Clearly, they are both silver assets, so why do their trends differ so much?

This is the cost of information gaps and liquidity differences. The same commodity, different trading venues, different participant structures—resulting in completely different price behaviors. Retail investors are only now realizing what 'premium risk' really means.

The data shows that this is an unreasonable mechanism, with 12% versus 23%, and the price difference is truly outrageous. However, retail investors will always be the last to take the fall.

This is the fate of retail investors, always being the last batch of chives to be harvested.

This is a typical case of information asymmetry and pump-and-dump, the data is right here—23% versus 12%, the cost of poor liquidity is directly reflected in the price. --- Where does the 50% premium come from? Just hammered down like this, no one can escape. --- One asset with two prices, indicating how absurd the market segmentation is. This is true systemic risk. --- LOF is still falling? International markets have already rebounded? It shows that there is no real pricing mechanism in the market, only driven by sentiment. --- Retail investors only realize what a liquidity trap is at this point, but it's too late to wake up. --- Premium risk? This is a pricing failure, a structural loophole caused by information asymmetry. --- The same product, traded on different exchanges, showing a 23% and 12% difference—how low is market efficiency? --- Domestic LOF is like this; locked-in liquidity is always the biggest killer.

Retail investors have been cut again; this is the consequence of playing LOF.

Another classic scene of A-share retail investors, the international market rebounded while we're still falling, it's truly incredible.

Retail investors got cut again, still the same old tricks, hyping up the premium like crazy when it's overpriced --- This LOF is basically a harvesting machine, it’s rebounding internationally but still falling here, hilarious --- Bought in at 50% premium, now down 23%, this is the tax of information asymmetry --- How can the same thing have such a huge price difference in different places? The domestic system is really something --- The key is the reaction speed being ridiculously slow; others are already rebounding while we’re still dumping --- Now I understand the risk of premium, the cost is just too damn high --- Silver dropped 12% and that’s already brutal enough, but this LOF keeps adding positions and performing, really playing hard

Another good show, the classic tactic of retail investors being cut for the leek. --- LOF is just a machine for cutting, why didn't anyone run when the premium was 50%? --- This is real information asymmetry, the international market has rebounded but the domestic market is still crashing, hilarious. --- A 23% decline, much more fierce than silver itself, truly a special skill. --- It's all silver, why is there such a big difference? Is poor liquidity that terrifying? --- I've said it long ago, don't touch these LOF products, a self-cultivation class for retail investors. --- From a 50% premium to now, whoever takes this deal is unlucky.
