silver…
not complaining, but what happened just past noon (u s. east coast time) today?
i like it, i just wonder what’s going on.
Maddog, thanx for the answer (a minute before the question).
Maddog

Re Rutte
he is/was 100 % Globalist, as bad as Carney…..would love to know what Trump said to him….it would take a lot for him to change his mind,,,,but sans the US NATO is a mouse.
Haven’t listened to Trumps UN speech yet, but saw a bit and it sounded like they all got taken to the Woodshed, for a serious beating……about to listen to it.

An incredible photo from Moscow shows a Russian serviceman shouldering a manpad anti air launcher aboard a lifted crane with a spotter during yesterday’s massive air raid.
Re a World War Three?
Some dumb thoughts here.
Being everything is in reverse, and if a WW III happens, NYC will get bombed like London did during WW II, China will win, and have global reserve currency status like the USA did after WW II.
Then THEY or China will be the dumb global importer of everything manufactured mathematically cheaper from all the other countries, like what happened to the USA.

I’m feeling a bit more hopeful that there will be peace in Europe. As Maddog has talked about the EU is woefully unprepared for any sort of war with Russia. They need many years to build up their forces … unless the course is to release the nuclear nightmare almost immediately. No one has accused the EU leaders of having common sense, or brains at all, though. Maybe a civil war is more likely …
Our market looking good today! 🙂
PS That is Don Durrett’s list of silver shares. 😉
I asked Chat: who or what set the price of gold, i heard it was done in London. be brief
Yes, London has historically been a major center for setting gold prices.
-
London Bullion Market Association (LBMA): Its gold price benchmark is established twice daily through an electronic auction involving participating banks and market participants.
-
Major banks and traders: Buy and sell gold, influencing prices through supply and demand.
-
COMEX in New York: Gold futures trading there also heavily influences the worldwide gold price.
Bottom line: No single person sets gold’s price. It’s determined by trading in global markets, with London and New York playing major roles.
My Comment re part: Its gold price benchmark is established twice daily through an electronic auction. Auctions of what? Paper or physical.
Both—but the London auction is primarily a benchmark for physical gold.
The LBMA Gold Price auction is based on bids and offers for gold, with participants settling transactions in unallocated gold accounts.
That means the auction doesn’t require bars to physically change hands at that moment.
So it’s not simply a paper-gold auction—but settlement usually involves account transfers, not moving physical bars for every trade.
Me: so its mostly paper bets? Be brief.
Not exactly. The London auction is for physically settled gold, but much of the wider gold market involves paper contracts, futures, and unallocated accounts.
So, yes, paper trading is a major influence on gold prices, even though physical gold is also traded.
SNG – did you see Ipso’s list of silver shares?
You know who’s not on the list? Contango.
I hope they have a really good plan, I’ve got them on a really short leash. They’ve been dead money for a very long time.
BTW, not blaming you in any way, but this is the second analyst’s list, and they are nowhere to be found. The story doesn’t seem to be circulating just yet.
Ipso – who can figure this stuff out?
So, rates are now up 2 bips, the dollar is up firmly, oil is only down a buck, and the DOW has weakened.
With all that, gold and silver have cut losses in half and the shares have rebounded after selling off after a strong start, up, down, up. Totally normal. 🙂
As for herr Rutte, Trump may have told him the US is tapped and can’t fight Russia, but the globalist scum will just double down and carry out a false flag attack on a NATO member. War is coming to Europe, it has to, they’ve already sent out the flyers telling the peasants to prepare their emergency kits.
I keep telling you guys, men may pull the levers, but they don’t make the decisions.
Great list of silvers BTW. I actually own two of the top five, that should burn it all down. 🙂

Commentary account
2025, NATO Secretary General, Mark Rutte, was in Washington meeting with Trump.
Today, Rutte is now confirming that NATO membership for Ukraine is off the table, and that relations with Russia need to be normalized post-war.
I don’t know what Trump told Rutte behind closed doors, but based on Rutte’s comments today, it appears he has accepted that Trump holds all the cards. NATO officials are beginning to accept their fate that this conflict is soon going to be over and the money laundering operation is done.
Granted, Rutte is still a slimy Soros-owned politician, but it appears even he knows when he is beaten. Trump is dictating the terms for the agreement between Russia and Ukraine, and there’s nothing EU/NATO officials can do about it.
This might seem small, but Rutte admitting Ukraine membership is off the table, is a MASSIVE step towards ending this war.

I didn’t know that. Interesting!

Black Death
Did you know the gene in some people that protected them from getting sick and dying from the plague also protects them from the man made HIV virus.
- What it does: The mutation alters the surface of white blood cells. HIV uses this specific cell receptor to enter and infect the body.
- Immunity level: People with one copy of the mutation have delayed HIV progression. People with two copies are largely immune to HIV.
- The Plague Theory: Early researchers proposed that the bubonic plague acted as a massive filter, allowing only people with this gene variant to survive and pass it down.
- Current Doubts: Newer studies suggest the mutation likely existed before the plague, and lab tests show the CCR5 mutation may not actually protect against the plague bacterium (Yersinia pestis) itself.
maddog and Buygold 14:23 and 15:16
Buygold Your probably right about that. Maybe being better off if we don’t know. Both US and EU is also interested in their resources. Seems like they’re going about it the hard way though.
If the neocons thought they could get some resources out of war maybe they didn’t figure out or care how much it’s going to cost the tax payer to supply the business that wants them or maybe they don’t care. The cost for those resources are going up everyday along with Z’s Caribbean bank account with something they’ll never get. They didn’t put a price or time limit on it
Maddog Yep I heard about that and it’s almost funny they trapped the US and EU into a infinite war they may have thought would be over much sooner. One with some negotiating the other, delusional thinking they could drag US in it and go after Russian. Like Wall Street says, pigs get slaughtered. If they give up do they lose the resource deals? I also heard they made the SAME resources property deals to different countries. Seems like it would of been easier just to help them develop those resources and business can buy them instead but have it at day of sale not pay first and they’ll get back to you. Years of active nursing didn’t give me enough time or energy to keep watch in what they’re up too. At one point I had faith they would figure it out. Ignorance is bliss. Then the information highest came out.
Now I got both minis the physical part cuz medical field never leaves you. I got a message from a friend in another state about a friend of hers who’s a diabetic who’s blood sugar went up to 1100. That shouldn’t she be in a coma? Ah yesh.and it a lot of other stuff happening or could fast and not good so I wrote her a book of info with immediate intervention to bring that sugar level down now and other intervention. Those people are more important to me than this stage show were seeing.

The first time ordinary English people could afford to eat meat, Parliament passed a law to stop them.
In 1256 the harvest workers on one Norfolk manor were fed a diet that was 4% meat by value. Most of the rest was bread. The deer belonged to the king, the rabbits to the lord, and the peasant to the pottage.
Then the Black Death killed half the country. Suddenly there were more fields than hands. The survivors could name their price, and they named it in beef.
1351: wages are frozen by law at their level before the plague. Asking for more is a crime, and every village is ordered to build a set of stocks for those who do.
1361: a labourer who leaves his lord for better pay is to be branded on the forehead with an F, for falsehood.
1363: a statute lays down what a servant may eat. Meat or fish once a day and no more.
It held for 30 years. In June 1381 the ploughmen marched on London, took the Tower, and beheaded the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Wat Tyler put their demands to the king in person. An end to serfdom. And every park, warren, river and wood in England thrown open, so that a poor man might take game the same as a rich one.
At St Albans the rebels walked into the abbot’s private warren, caught a rabbit, and tied it to the town pillory, as notice that the game was now theirs.
Tyler was stabbed at the meeting. The king, who was 14, took back every promise. Villeins you are, he told them, and villeins you shall remain.
9 years later came the reply to the rabbit.
1390: nobody worth under 40 shillings a year may keep a hunting dog, a ferret or a net, on pain of a year in prison. Parliament wrote its reasoning into the preamble. Labourers had been seen out hunting on holy days like gentlemen, and were using the hunts as cover to meet and plot another rising.
There were plenty of deer. What could not be tolerated was a ploughman with a haunch of venison, because a man who can feed himself can afford to say no.
The laws failed. Hands were too scarce, and by 1424 that same Norfolk manor was feeding its harvesters 28% meat.
The instinct behind the laws has never failed once. Whenever the poor get their hands on meat, somebody important discovers a reason they should not have it. The king’s pleasure. The social order. Their cholesterol. The climate.
The reason is replaced every century. The people giving it have never once missed a steak.
Probably make more money that way

Contango Announces Updated Mineral Resource Estimate for Kitsault Valley Project; Indicated Resources Increase 93% to 89.5 Million Silver Equivalent Ounces
All Contango Silver and Gold has is good and better results to report into a worse and worse stock market. IMO the company is a winner and proves it over and over so it’s just a matter of time.

Re Zelensky…..as far as I am concerned the World would be a better place without him, the entire Ukraine situation is a nightmare of lies and distortion….how anyone could contemplate WW III over it leaves me speechless..
