Loading ...I think it is Powells comments as Bonds eased and the SM jumped all at same time….sounds like we get easy money/QE to stick a Turbo Charger onto the PM bull…..
Well shux
I guess we don’t have to wait until tonight. It appears they were unable to obtain the desired waterfall and have been forced to cover.
Thing of beauty.

Re robotics and silver….lightness and conductivity…can’t beat it…only Gold can…..
from Grok
Electrical contacts and connectors
Silver has the highest electrical conductivity of any metal (even better than copper). Robot joints, sensors, switches, and high-reliability connectors often use silver or silver-plated contacts to minimize resistance and heat buildup.
Soldering
Most electronic circuit boards in robots (including the “brain” controllers) are assembled with silver-containing solder alloys (e.g., SAC305: tin–silver–copper). Silver improves strength, fatigue resistance, and conductivity compared to old tin–lead solder vs. traditional tin-lead solder.
Sensors
Many MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) accelerometers, gyroscopes, and pressure sensors in robots use tiny silver or silver-alloy components.
Some high-end tactile or force sensors use silver nanowires or silver paste for flexibility and sensitivity.
Motors and actuators
High-performance brushed DC motors and some slip rings use silver–graphite brushes because silver dramatically reduces electrical noise and wear compared to copper–graphite.
Batteries
While lithium-ion cells themselves don’t contain much silver, many battery management systems (BMS) and high-current connectors in robotic platforms are silver-plated.
Antimicrobial coatings (in some service/humanoid robots)
A few healthcare or food-service robots (and some consumer robots like certain vacuum models) use silver nanoparticle coatings on touch surfaces because silver is naturally antimicrobial.
Reflective surfaces / mirrors in LIDARs and optics
Some precision optical systems in robotic vision or laser scanners use silver coatings because silver has the highest reflectivity across visible and near-infrared light.
In short:
You won’t see big shiny silver blocks in most robots, but if you look at the microscopic or high-performance level, silver is everywhere in modern robotics for its unbeatable combination of conductivity, reflectivity, solderability, and (in small amounts) antimicrobial properties.
A single advanced humanoid robot can easily contain several grams to tens of grams of silver, mostly in electronics and contacts. Industrial robots and drones often contain even more in their control systems and power distribution.
Too funny
They are throwing all sorts of paper at the metals right now. Wholesale dumps not worried about price, not massive dumps, just consistent. So obvious, for what? To show that the Fed is in control? The dollar and bonds are fine? Pure comedy.
That’s OK. China and India will thank them tonight.
Maddog
I didn’t know robotics even used silver. You’re right, that might be the most compelling reason to buy silver and the miners.
The Captain’s article about the miners is spot on. They haven’t even really begun to roar, they are just ridiculously cheap right now.
Looks like we might have to wait until tomorrow before we see the pm’s start to run on the news of a rate cut and what appears to be the beginning of QE.
‘Most Divided’ Fed In 37 Years Cuts Rates; Restarts Balance Sheet Growth
…3 dissents, downside risks to employment rose, Fed will begin buying T-Bills on Dec 12th…
Buygold
On Fed day, it’s a given that the scum will have everything under wraps and in full control.
Did the Fed just cut?
Looked like it at first as pm’s came roaring back with the shares and the dollar slid. Then it cooled off, but now appears to be moving back up.
What will Powell say to keep pm’s from rising?
BTW – if the EU were to do that it would be suicidal. Those people are insane – Clearly. I honestly think they want a nuclear war with Russia. I think they believe they can survive it. Doesn’t it seem like evil is pushing awful hard to fulfill the Book of Revelation?
Anyhoo, the rally monkey 🐒 is back. PM’s have reversed but they are working hard to keep them from popping. Powell on deck.
ipsofacto re bond selling
Unless there is a deal in Ukraine ,very soon. I can see Trump walking …threatening to cut NATO loose and then doing it,…..The Euro’s cannot have peace, as then the books get opened and they are looking at jail/ruination.
The row over X, has barely started, again unless the EU backs down Trump will retaliate, as that whole story stinks…..I saw ystdy that the bEU made more in fines last year off US co’s than it earned in TAX from them !!!!!!
A split could well be around the corner…..
ipsofacto
Re windows…….yr right it is completely out of control, the Blob is a make work scheme and that window example is a perfect example……a friend wanted to get into the building biz a few yrs back, for when he actually retired, doing 3/5 houses at a time…
He had a plumbing biz, his mate was a builder and they both knew many landowners, who would sell them land, at good prices for a cut of the profits….they gave up, before they even started, as the regulatory costs ate nearly all the profits !!!!!!!
Only large estates get built mostly as they can spread the costs over many houses…..
Ipso and others, a comment I’d like to add about the pending Dolly Varden/Contango Merger…
Their new name will be Contango Silver and Gold, so we lose the “sex appeal” of a beautiful Trout, Dolly Varden Silver, known to be a rich EXPLORER in BC’s Golden Triangle, for , to me, an unknown new PM name, Contango Silver and Gold… but we gain the status of being a PRODUCER with many excellent drill results, and at a time when production is extremely important. I expect this name change will be a setback for awhile until this merger and new identity become known, but I personally will be adding to my current position during that lull. FWIW from SNG!
How city’s turning into slums.
This is what socialism does.
Besides what they did to Los Angeles Fresno San Francisco and other areas with open borders, putting them in management to bring more in be businesses or housing with multi people usually all men or had multi kids born here getting welfare living in one space.
There is a small city north of San Fran near the Oregon border called Eureka on the coast in Humboldt County. It was famous for the best bud, ” pot” around and not poisoned with toxic chemicals from pesticides from Mexican pot and demanded a higher price.
If for whatever reason you needed a affordable place to live for awhile people would go there. They were very generous with family food banks with real food and fresh sea food. They also had a cafeteria for a hot lunch for free for the homeless. The homeless had camping grounds around there and helped the ones that wanted help to get housing and even jobs but jobs were scarce.
It started to become a magnet when San Fran crony capitalism, wokeism and two tier justice, hight cost of living drove people out the homeless on drugs where panhandling asking for money running out started piling in Eureka . Now the money ran.out there.
The town got their money from the pot sales, yeah the town.Youll own nothing and be happy because they’ll give you drugs. Then pot became legal. anybody could grow it.
So what are they gonna do, increase taxes on the working class where wages were already lower than normal.
Like that saying from M Thatcher. Socialism works till you run out of other people’s money.
Now the place is turning into a slum like these other city’s with homeless many on drugs that came in from San Fran and other nearby areas camping out all over the place while the city already ran out of money.
Nice hit for Eloro

deer79 @ 11:51 re: liquidation of US bonds
It’s such a crazy idea that I don’t think they’d do it. Then again they do a lot of stupid things … and they are desperate.
Trump should stick it to them over that $140 million fine for X. I’m sure there’s plenty he could do. It’s just a kind of theft!
Good Morning All. It’s good to see a “Howdy silverngold” again in the upper righthand corner.
Yeah, I hear you. Some saying “that’s great” and some saying “ah Sh!t” lol… but with the subject of the lagging shares being questioned, I still believe it is this fairly new ability for your broker to have the legal ability to “lend” the shares in your margin accounts to the short sellers who then can legally use those same shares to cancel the gains they should be showing. So instead of rising in leaps and bounds, every share you buy immediately gets the “short hammer” applied to it, and like Maddog’s CDE/Silver chart shows, goes nowhere.
IMO, unless that new ability for the shorts to use your own shares against you (so they are not naked short) is removed, the shorts which IMO is BlackRock etc have control of the markets and you’re playing in a crooked Casino. PHYZ in hand wins but the shares lose… FWIW…SNG
goldielocks @ 11:47 re: Window replacement
It’s insane! No wonder their economies aren’t working properly.
Maddog @ 7:52
Yes … and it also shows idiot traders have been top calling the silver rally for several months as well.
There is definitely no froth in this move.
None … except for the idiots.

Ipso
I “copied” how Martin Armstrong’s web site responded to the idea of the EU potentially liquidating US bonds:
Trump needs to consider IMMEDIATELY entering an Executive Order that all EU member state debts MUST be liquidated INSTANTLY!!!!! Any hedge fund that holds EU sovereign debt should be subject to sanctions forthwith. Trump should issue an Executive Order barring any US investment in Ukraine whatsoever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!With the EU seeking to fund war, they will need to sell debt.
The financial war is heating up!

They’re robbing people blind. They’re replacing a friggin window. Even adding on a structure shouldn’t be anywhere that much. That’s hurting businesses as well.
I wonder if these people who are doing this are older with mental issues and or green eyed monsters who dont like younger people, resent people who succeed on their own meret who don’t care what the consequences of their scams when they die.
I wonder what age group in UK owns the most property. If it’s like the US or Japan where the majority are owned by babyboomers or older. The result could be a bunch of not just homes but dilapidated homes by people who refused to get to robbed by these parasites either left abandoned or a over supply of hard to sell properties on the market in a few years and lasting for years. It looks like they want to turn UK into a slum anyways.

Socialist Europe, who wants this in America?
Replacing a window in Westminster.
Govern me harder.
We are regulating ourselves into oblivion.
Call me a cynic
but I think the government will NEVER let JPM go under!
That would expose the whole charade, and the pitchforks would be everywhere. JPM knows that they have the full backing of the government behind them, and will continue to sell unbacked paper contracts.
IMHO, it will take some exogenous event for the system to be re-booted ( look how allegedly Donald Rumsfeld claimed that there were trillions of dollars unaccounted for, and then the building that again, allegedly housed that information, was blown up).
What that will be is anyone’s guess.

re selling…looks like they are taking advantage of the Fed. in that there will be few buyers today, in front of the meeting…so easy to smash it…..
