so What happens if everyone keeps buying Silver 2-3 dollars above market value?

Would that rally the price? so We would make the people holding Silver now richer?

How much of a dent can a market with only 1.6 billion in market cap move silver? What percentage would be required to move it in that direction?

and finally What if it fails and the price falls back to market demand?

Silver price history in 1960–2011
At a February 13, 2013 price of about $31.00 USD per troy ounce,[43] silver is about 1/53rd the price of gold. The ratio has varied from 1/15 to 1/100 in the past 100 years.[citation needed] Physical silver bullion prices are higher than the paper prices, with premiums increasing when demand is high and local shortages occur.[44]

In 1980, the silver price rose to a peak for modern times of US$49.45 per troy ounce (ozt) due to market manipulation of Nelson Bunker Hunt and Herbert Hunt. Inflation-adjusted to 2012, this is approximately US$138 per troy ounce. Some time after Silver Thursday, the price was back to $10/ozt.[45] From 2001 to 2010, the price moved from $4.37 to $20.19 (average London US$/oz).[46] According to the Silver Institute, silver's recent gains have greatly stemmed from a rise in investor interest and an increase in fabrication demand.[46] In late April 2011, silver reached an all-time high of $49.76/ozt.

In earlier times, silver has commanded much higher prices. In the early 15th century, the price of silver is estimated to have surpassed $1,200 per ounce, based on 2011 dollars.[47] The discovery of massive silver deposits in the New World during the succeeding centuries has been stated as a cause for its price to have diminished greatly.

The price of silver is important in Judaic law. The lowest fiscal amount a Jewish court, or Beth Din, can convene to adjudicate a case over is a shova pruta (value of a Babylonian pruta coin).[citation needed] This is fixed at .025 grams (0.00088 oz) of pure, unrefined silver, at market price. In a Jewish tradition, still continuing today, on the first birthday of a first-born son, the parents pay the price of five pure-silver coins to a Kohen (priest). Today, the Israel mint fixes the coins at 117 grams (4.1 oz) of silver. The Kohen will often give those silver coins back as a gift for the child to inherit.[48]

watch out for Java pluggins, they can track your location.

Plug-ins help browsers process special types of web content, like Flash or Windows Media files. Some plug-ins, such as Flash, are used by many websites on the Internet. Other plug-ins are only used by a small number of sites. Plug-ins are allowed by default. However, since they can occasionally be a security risk, Google Chrome blocks plug-ins that are outdated or those that are not widely used. Examples include Java, RealPlayer, QuickTime, Shockwave, Windows Media Player and Adobe Reader prior to Adobe Reader X. You can use the Content Settings dialog to block all plug-ins. When this happens, you will see a message such as the following:
