Loading ...with no more pennies being produced, the reduction in demand will likely put downward pressure on zinc prices, and thus on zinc miners. how much? good question
it’s an ill wind that blows no good…
with less foodstamps in circulation than in the past, the stores have found themselves with overstocks of holiday food. (less demand = less sales = merchants
cut prices. economics 101.)
i found frozen young turkeys on sale for 49 cents a pound (!!!) at publix this afternoon. time to fill the freezer.
Why Trump is suing BBC
Here’s one example on how they tried to set him up by splicing the video.
No mass pennies
In 1793 a penny could get you a biscuit, a candle, or a piece of candy. Now it cost up to 4 cents to make. They are no longer going to make them. That makes me wonder where the suppliers will move to or if they will be able to. Like zinc mining?

Sovereign countries better realize the UN is in on.this and from what I heard they leave their shoes at the door if you know what I mean. They need our money more than we need them. In fact what do we need them for and any money they do get seems to be used against us.
Maddog, the meltdown
is because Burry closed out his shorts yesterday.
And because the government re-opened.

Talk about volatility! It’s a manic-depressive market!

WAve C down now….very poss….also only 3 waves up so far, which a B should have .
Any ideas why this melt down is happening in everything.
Is this being triggered by Zelensky and Co cashing up, or is it the globalists trying to cause a mkt crash, to change the subject of Zelensky and co being overthrown…..yes the SM is overvalued..but why today.
Maddog, aurum
Perhaps this is the beginning of the C wave down right here. Just seems that the speed at which these waves now occur, is getting quicker and quicker….

I think the acquisition is a good move. It looks like they expect increased production coming on line so their results may look much improved in the future. I’m gonna eyeball it! 🙂
… always like to have Sprott participating!

Thank you for sharing that info…..
Lots of intricate financial details that the. companies certainly won’t elaborate about……
USAS
Surprised Ipso, that they missed their EPS and quarterly revenue estimates, announce this deal, and the stock is only down .04 today… Go figure.
FWIW, Eric Sprott ( the largest shareholder) approves of this deal and says he will participate in the secondary offering to help pay for the deal.
deer, in the case of SVM,
$53m of the $55m charge is because the share price has gone up, per note 15 of the Sept 2025 accounts.
They issued $150m in convertible notes in 2024, convertible in 2029, at the conversion rate of 216 shares per $1,000, when the share price was $4.84. At 9/30 it was $8.71. So they converted at 9/30 they’d be issuing 216 shares per $1,000 of debt, with a share value of 216 x $8.71 = $1,881. The extra $881 is an effective loss to existing shareholders so it appears in the accounts, rather sneakily IMO, as an “adjustment”. Whereas in reality they are repaying $1,000 of debt with $1,881 worth of shares.
A good time to make acquisitions IMO I don’t own USAS. They’ve had a hard time making money in the past.

As ever we will only know afterwards……But I hear you….it is certainly as u say early to go flying higher, time is sure needed to correct lots of indicators, so u may well be right .we need a C down.
What I took away from recent action, is the speed of this last rally, says the Bull move is overall v strong….and any C down , may well be tame/sideways……..But as I said that B wave up, showed how the mkt wants to rally.
I am also watching the spreads in Shares vs Gold….we have yet to get a breakout and they look like they need time to build the power to breakout
Cheers
Using SLV
the problem is that we are at bb resistance and support is quite a bit lower
we need a small correction then a new high
aurum
also overbought on stochastic
Maddog
Perhaps the past abc was simply an A wave and current move up a B.
It is possible though that the recent abc was really a degree higher and the ABC.
This double top is critical over the short term.
imo
aurum
Shorts are getting v excited about chance of double top in AG………lets get real short…it’s all over.
Maybe recentb action was A dn and B up, so now we get C down…..but then 3 up and the shorts will get carted..

They sound like complex Derivatives that bankers force borrowers to buy, when they take out loans…..most of the time you need them like a hole in the head…but it’s a case of take the derivative, or no loan.
Ed Steer … always a level headed guy

@Mark4XX
🚨 ED STEER: “The ONLY Way to Prevent Catastrophe is to SHUT DOWN COMEX & LBMA” 🚨
The Endgame is Here:
➡️ “Shorts will be bankrupt in days, if not hours”
➡️ “Whole financial system is at stake – no way to sugarcoat this”
➡️ Major bullion banks facing “catastrophic losses” on short positions
➡️ “This is a financial crisis when this thing finally ends”
The Physical Reality:
✅ 5+ years of structural silver deficit (125-200M oz/year)
✅ LBMA cupboards ran BARE in October – required 58M oz emergency shipment
✅ SLV has 57M shares with NO silver backing (11% of total!)
✅ “When shorts cover, they’ll be buying into a vacuum”
Recent Warning Signs:
🚨 October 17th: Near-parabolic move forced “not-for-profit” selling to cap prices
🚨 November 10th: First-ever $100+ gold gain + $2+ silver gain in same day
🚨 Backwardation hit $2.60 – clear physical shortage signal
The Nuclear Option:
“The only way to save the shorts is to CLOSE the COMEX and LBMA”
This would save “too big to fail” banks but destroy market confidence
Pricing would shift to Shanghai – “where it really belongs anyway”
