Loading ...It’s okay to let Midnite slide into oblivion.
I mostly lurk anyway .. never was a very good forum participant as I have a tendency to disappear for long periods, especially in the good ol summer time.
Will never forget this song as our sadistic drill sgt used to sing this while literally kicking our ash around the parade square in ’70
part:
From the COMEX exchange’s weekly position reports, the commercial traders increased their net short position from June 3 to July 8 by more than 240 million ounces. This amount represents nearly 30 percent of annual worldwide new silver mining production. Normally such a huge influx of “silver” on the market in such a short time, even though it is in paper contracts rather than physical form, would lead to a significant drop in price.
Instead, the spot price of silver at the New York COMEX close jumped from $18.73 on June 3 to $21.41 at the close on Friday, July 11, an increase of 14.3 percent.Could this influx of paper silver represent sales by mining companies of future production? Partially. Almost 25 percent of the growth in short positions from June 3 to July 1 came from the bullion bankers who handle such transactions.
However, more than 75 percent of the net increase in short positions came from the 24 swap dealers (which probably includes Goldman Sachs).Since the bulk of the increase in short positions comes from commercial speculators as opposed to investor speculators, it is quite possible that there could be a near term silver supply squeeze. Trying to prevent such a development could be the reason that these bullion banks stuck their necks out so far. This influx of 240 million ounces of new short contracts costs the owners $2.4 million for every one cent increase in the silver spot price.

Interesting strategy. Good luck!
Formerly Midnite Gardner but my old log in wouldn’t work, so went with a new one.
Have my sights set on a previous high platinum:gold ratio of 2.45 – therefore pgr2.45
I’m holding onto my gold and silver, and now adding plat & pall.

Black holes might end their lives by transforming into their exact opposite — ‘white holes’ that explosively pour all the material they ever swallowed into space, say two physicists. The suggestion, based on a speculative quantum theory of gravity, could solve a long-standing conundrum about whether black holes destroy information.
The theory suggests that the transition from black hole to white hole would take place right after the initial formation of the black hole, but because gravity dilates time, outside observers would see the black hole lasting billions or trillions of years or more, depending on its size. If the authors are correct, tiny black holes that formed during the very early history of the Universe would now be ready to pop off like firecrackers and might be detected as high-energy cosmic rays or other radiation. In fact, they say, their work could imply that some of the dramatic flares commonly considered to be supernova explosions could in fact be the dying throes of tiny black holes that formed shortly after the Big Bang.

Welcome to the Oasis!
I don’t remember seeing your name in lights before. How are things in your part of the world?
yeah, this is easy! i didn’t even see the “new” button. i was looking for something like “write a post” or “post a message” what i found was the “active” button near the top of the sidebar. it pulls up an incomplete message writing page – without a publish button. if i put anything in it, then sent it to “drafts,” then pulled it out of drafts, i could edit it on a page much like this one i got with the “new” button. like i said, a cluster-flex.
anyway, thanks, this is much easier.

Good Morning WJ et al. Moved from The People’s Republic Of Mass. Now located in the Free State of Ozarkansas. Thanks to y’all for watching our backs.

You need a smiley with a light bulb over it’s head!
Maybe write some notes? 😉
Us admins at GT were quite surprised to find out what was going on. Wanka was accidentally included in one of their emails which told very clearly of the scheme.
Yep “the nerve” !
Thanks for posting that, I didnt get the email. Wow the nerve…
Good to see you made it. Welcome to the Oasis!
As far as accidental misunderstandings go you should read my 19:06 of yesterday. That letter was sent out to everyone’s email. Unfortunately there was no misunderstandings.
Good luck with your journeys! 🙂

That could pose as a minor problem (producing coffee).
From were I sit…. I can se one empty bottle and Buygold, right now, trying to stuff a can of caviar into an other bottle.
I thing you should teach him some manners. 🙂
Anyhow… I got more bottles, so let him continue.
He could have found out something new, in the Gastronomic world.
….and after all it is Saturday

You have earned it…. Champagne and caviar as breakfast.

It’s curious that this change should be happening now, just when Mrs Lifeboat and I have access to the net for a couple of weeks and are in touch with the change. I’ll take that a positive, an omen for the future.
I don’t pretend to know or understand what happened. However, it’s shame to see one time mates throwing rocks at each other. These are people we would have been happy to share a drink with only last week. I prefer to think that chaos, confusion and honest mistake are probably behind it all, like most of human affairs that go wrong. We can’t keep chucking people out or watching them leave. Soon there won’t be enough of us left to load a camel, let alone fill a gold caravan.
Hi WJ – Thanks for the help with the log-in, I think it’s fixed. Now, if you’ll just make it so that I can access the tent all the time I’ll be as happy as a sundown sailor on liberty.
Best wishes from Mauritius – Lifeboat
Sheesh, autocorrect changed old timers name to old tike. Wonder of someone built it with a sense of humor. Have you ever read embarrassing auto correct texts. They turn out X rated so can’t post them.
Thanks for all your help.
No doubt Nancy will be making a call to the SEC on Monday am to get the SEC off her son’s backside. Surely the SEC will comply. It’s the scumbag country we live in.
This story will disappear from the media altogether. Disgusting.
Now old timer having trouble. Didn’t get a email.
Old tike check your spam files just in case
