Right, I wasn’t going to buy over 70s, leave it for the newbies but this drop prompted me to buy a little more. I picked up some engelhards.
deer79, 8:57, and so it has been for decades.
Maybe even centuries. Or millenia; the first derivative contracts date to the first century BC.
But they can’t stop fundamentals. The debt. The deficit. That’s why gold is up over 40% in the last year, and 160% in five years, paused only by a war in the Middle East from a guy who promised no more wars, no more income tax, no more deficit and paying down the debt. When the smoke of war clears and people realise that it has only caused the debt and deficit to increase even more quickly, PMs will continue where they left off.
Looks like the typical garbage close
They’ve got 13 minutes to take the rest of the gains out of SLV – they’ve already taken half.
NEM keeping the HUI close to 800, otherwise the gains would be miniscule.
What a crap show.
Mr. Copper, Maddog
Mr. Copper – probably right about all that. No one seems to want them going into earnings. OTOH, I wonder if NEM would be up much if the metals were down today? Good for them though, I’m glad they were able to pull off some solid earnings. Good luck with the SOX trade, it’s odd to see a breakout in tech right now.
Maddog – They are both evil demons. Hillary is evil beyond measure though. There have been leaks about some of the stuff coming out from Anthony Weiners laptop of several years ago. Apparently there is a video labeled as “insurance” that shows Hillary and Huma Abedin filleting the face of a young girl. I guess some of the videos were so bad career FBI agents and NYC police officers were vomiting after seeing the contents. When I say “demons”, I MEAN LITERAL DEMONS. This info came from a Republican representative from Colorado, Lauren Bobert who is demanding to get a hold of the laptop, as are others.
You think to yourself, how are they not arrested and put away somewhere? The evil that permeates highest levels of government is much more powerful than just human. Bloodlines of real power go way back, thousands of years. Secret societies worship and receive real power from “the powers and principalities of the air” that Paul talks about in the Bible. IMHO, the world is very close to understanding just how real all this stuff really is.
There’s a massive war going on in the dimensions outside our own and it is starting to spill into our 3.5 dimensions.
@Buygold re your “Endless supply of sellers. How did it end so quickly?”
I highly suspect that the outsiders that hear about and see the gold market climbing, then they all barge into our “play ground” on the highs, and on the early dips they all start selling out on losses.
They tend to drive us too high above normal, then drive us down below normal. WE just have to wait until the idiots have nothing left to sell.
They are probably doing the same emotional thing in the semi conductors now. Take a look at SOXL semi bull. That thing will start dropping and I’ll be buying SOXS semi short.
Check out the two high volume bars that often predict a shift or rotation.
I just bought 200 shares, if it goes down 10% or $270 I’ll cash out.
Looks like we got the drips again
Endless supply of sellers. Way too much like the old days.
How did it end so quickly?
edit: within 60 seconds of posting this we all of a sudden get a quick pop to new highs.
Then it suddenly stops on a dime, shares pop then drift down while both metals do the same. All inside like 20 minutes. This will drive you nuts. I’m living proof.
Nice to see NEM rewarded
Hope we can hold on today for a change, we’ve been gasping for air all week.
Silver and the silver shares are a little wobbly.
We could use a break.
D’oh! :-) When other people screw up it’s much funnier than when we do it!

Germany intentionally blew up their nuclear power plants, then sanctioned cheap Russian energy.
Now their electricity prices are 2x to 3x more expensive than the USA.
Factories are closing and moving to other countries. Lousy policy has consequences.

German industrial production is now 24% below its (former) long-term trend. The ‘Great Reset’ is destroying the country’s economic strength.

Russia is set to halt the transit of Kazakhstan’s oil supplies to Germany through the Druzhba Pipeline.
Even though Germany stopped buying Russian oil, they still need Russian pipelines to obtain oil from Kazakhstan.
On May 1 (next week) the oil stops. The refinery receiving that oil supplies 90% of the petrol, kerosene and heating fuel for Berlin, its airport and the surrounding region.
The only alternative route is thru Poland, and Poland is using that capacity for it’s own refineries.
With the Persian Gulf blockaded, Germany and other parts of Europe are facing an energy crisis. Russia is putting the squeeze on Europe while supplies are tight.
Groundhog Day
Another joke of a day for the PM’s. Sorry to say, but it seems that everyone knows that the game is RIGGED, so no one wants to play in this sandbox. The Working Group on Financial Markets has been a resounding success to keep the ponzi scheme going and keeping people enslaved in this Financial Matrix!!
We might have a chance
I suppose if tech holds up, it is soaring again and has been all week. Silver has traded with tech occasionally in the past.
The dollar is only down slightly. Same with oil and rates. If they reverse, or any one of them reverses, it will probably sink our ship. We’re not exactly running super-hot at the moment.
Have to wonder how much more of a beating the shares are going to take. The metals are already fading, as are the shares. Complete lockdown.
Maddog
I suppose it could be MBS, but they would have to had received the information that Trump was going to make the war announcements almost instantaneously from someone near the president who knew the announcements were imminent. The longest time between the trade and announcement was 45 minutes. The size of the trade would also require a compliant trading house to place it that quickly. One of them happened only 14 minutes before.
No doubt it was a big player with pull. MBS would fit the bill.
Whoever it was, was highly connected or actually in the decision-making process. These could not have been random “I think he’s going to say this” type trades. They hit 5 of 5.
I know we bitch and moan about the mkts being played with…..
but for a while now they have behaved as they should according to classic TA….as seen here….this oil rally may have stopped right on the 50 % retracement level……it could yet see 104 for the 62 % level….

Who made the Oil trades…..MBS and Co ????
Been waiting for this one
