Hope you’re right. We don’t need another can-o-worms! Be nice if the Iranians can do it all themselves.

I hate those warmongers Graham and the others. Trump has done some really good things but some not so good as well. Involving us in more wars is not what most Americans want. Playing chicken with the Russians is not a smart thing. All of this is going to hurt the GOP in the mid-terms.
ipso facto
The hatred of the Mullahs is vast…..the world will so much better when they are gone…..the next few days will tell a lot….the WEB has been closed down, the Shahs son is calling for massive demonstrations tonight and tommorow, which the regime may hit hard …..but US troops are not far away, nor other assets…..
i kinow you guys would prefer not to be involved, but islam is comming knocking whether we like it or not…knocking it back in Iran, would be a huge defeat…..as it would show it has no power other than fear.
JPM dumps silver to bring the price down.
Some things never change.
Maddog @ 15:04
The Mullahs don’t seem real popular these days. This could be the beginning of the end for them … and good riddance.
ipso, Buygold, he’s surrounded himself by yes men with agendas.
Just like last time. Grimá Wormtongues the lot of them. I thought he was avoiding that trap at first but, apart from Bobby Kennedy who has more than enough diplomatic nous to navigate Trump’s ego and deal with his (RFK’s) detractors, the people prepared to stand up to him, Musk, Massie, MTG, etc. have been fired or sidelined. All these people, Lindsay Grahame, Miriam Adelson, Rubio, are all telling him he’s the best president ever while laughing behind his back, taking instructions from the swamp and Bibi and getting him to implement those agendas. The one area they haven’t got him to cave on yet is Ukraine. He must also listen to that other democrat on his team, Tulsi Gabbard.
Giving $3,000 to illegals to go home might look bad, but it’s much much cheaper to get them to go voluntarily rather than the costs of rounding them up unwillingly.
@goldielocks
Gasoline was .25 cents for 104 octane here before 1970 and in todays dollars, times 20 it should be $5/gallon. But the highest octane today is 93 at Sunoco. re Then 1970 boom? That was the end of the boom, all down hill after 1970. gold backing removed.
Re your Gas economical cars started coming in at lower cost, less maintenance issues, better mileage. Sure a lower mathematical cost but a VERY high cost to American living standards.
Re your opportunists from places like japan? Japan and later China after 1989 had nothing to do with their successes, only God knows who was determining tax rates and currency values to screw the USA out of its wealth.
Mr Copper
Prices of gas was stable in the 60s but last yrs 68 then 69 one cent higher a gallon to 33 from 31 cents. Then 1970 boom no more stability, it kept going up every year since staying with opec 1970s oil issues. With it came opportunists from places like japan. and American car makers should of been on it, to keep prices down, making them lighter and getting more mileage and with less mechanical problems. Gas economical cars started coming in at lower cost, less maintenance issues, better mileage.

Iran has been the epicentre of trouble in the world since 1979…….and the people are desperate to get out from under islams boot….If Trump helps bring an end..he will have done the world a huge favour.
and for once the people will love him for it.
All The People That Can’t Buy Homes, Bought Imported Cars Starting In 1969
What is going on in the world is the failure of global socialism, (globalization) sold to the US people as fair trade, and a strong dollar is good for the country, competition is good for America, remember Larry dumb as a stump Kudlow saying that every day?
Margaret Thatcher said socialism is fine until you run out of other peoples money to spend. Note the USA ran out of money back in 1970. Even befor 1970 Europeans were cashing in US Fed Notes for Gold at $34 when it was selling for $140/oz. We cut them off on that in 1971 so they started off shoring our manufacturing businesses.
All our leaders after JFK did absolutely nothing. (excerpt Trump) They put in their eight years and just went with the flow of the USA being the good guy of the planet. Meanwhile good guys finish last, thats the USA. Plus the dumb ass system has been running like a game. Well all games come to an end.
AG guy
Maybe they don’t translate dates well Madero giving names. Stealing silver from inside. So much crime going on it’s overwhelming.
Mr Copper
Maybe gold but silver is needed a lot more now than then. The problem with housing is too many boomers especially certain cities that are currently going down hill have this attitude ” I got mine, you get yours, I don’t care.” Before the..people did care and how it would affect their neighborhoods, resources, schools, hospitals and jobs as well owning property prices so they could afford to retire someday and have something to pass on. Another reason for needing raises. But what do they do, open borders and give them free everything just not Americans. They don’t want that anyways they want their own homes.
I remember those catalogued as well as designer companies. From the people of the 1800 to 1900 it was a bigger deal. People dressed better then. Buying store bought was bragging rights. Getting things on sale and paying less than someone else was too. I had a great grandmother who was a designer so I had mixed feelings. Why spend that much money when you can make it yourself if you liked it or make your own clotbs. They steal designs from people, they stole from me too although wasn’t I’m it much except for kids and dolls because medical wasn’t a cocktail party. Point is store bought became a big deal. Kinda like gold and silver today lol excise typos.
Buygold
Lots of truths there!
Endeavor is going to have some great earnings
Looks like they produced about one third of all their metal in Q4 with prices ripping higher.
They should hit it out of the park.
Ipso
I think this gal sums it up perfectly for me and how I feel about Trump. Hard to believe he doesn’t get it.
Buygold
Darn right! We didn’t vote Trump in so we could have expanded warfare!
Maddog – Iran
Well, of course they are. I’d like Iran to fall as much as anyone else, but not using U.S. troops to assist. They are not Venezuela.
The neocons like Lindsay Graham and of course Netanyahu have been pushing for our involvement in Iran for years now. If he does go into Iran, he will have completely abandoned his true MAGA base.

Physical silver demand at comex is sizzling.
Going back 5 trading days … first notice day on the January contract saw 4,583 contracts or 22.9 million oz stand for delivery. That was the highest in comex history for an inactive contract. In fact, that total surpasses many previous active month contracts during 2023 and 2024:
@goldilocks, Nobody Is Complaining Or Hurting With Higher Gold and Silver Prices
Thanks for the comeback. If everything is in reverse, eventually the system would gradually go back to a gold standard. Where a tiny bit of real money can go a long way.
In a real money system like a hundred years ago, people putting their saving or hoarding gold or silver won’t hurt the public at all. Plus the hoarding or saving AU and AG would drive the values up, and over times less and less money would be needed to buy things.
You would never have to ask for a raise. In fact from 1800 to 1934 prices we slightly lower over time. If you had an old Sears Catalogue you would not need a new one every year.

First they started buying up a lot of housing in southern California now they’re up north in a once affordable country atmosphere buying up properties. I think a few apts were bought by them and now it’s all Asian tennents not all but mostly for China. I asked why are they coming here. Freedom is the biggest reason, space and opportunities.
Mr Copper
Thanks for the news. It’s about time they did something. It is a Marxist move. WEF YOU WILL OWN NOTHING. Not the same as a individual even with that amount. Also foreign buying outbidding locals. Even with private buying when it comes to that doctor can cause a problem when they sell. A wealthy Japanese man bought up about 100 homes in one city and then sold them before the crash of 08. Perhaps he knew something.The problem was all of a sudden all these people at once had to find another place to live. The court mandated he give them more time since so many were going to be looking within one city. One difference was he was very affordable and one single mother renting a house said it would be hard for her to find a house that affordable.
As far as cars if they didn’t start losing value soon as you drove them off the lot you can bet the greedy would look to buy them up Also business have had to answer to Congress for monopolizing and hurting other businesses including Gates. That’s what they’re doing with housing.
It’s not just blackstone.
- Cash Offers: These companies often use cash to buy homes quickly, outbidding individual buyers, as seen in markets like Atlanta, Phoenix, and Dallas.
- Market Impact: By removing homes from the owner-occupied market, they decrease supply, contributing to record-high home prices and rising rents, making homeownership less accessible.
- Community Changes: The influx of corporate landlords can change neighborhood stability, as renters move more frequently than owners, affecting local businesses and schools.
- Market Share: While some reports claim these firms could own a significant portion (e.g., 40-60%) of single-family rentals by 2030, others note their current market share is smaller (around 5% of all single-family rentals), but growing rapidly.
- Political Response: This trend has led to calls for government action, with figures like Donald Trump proposing bans on institutional investors buying single-family homes to make housing more affordable.
- Vanguard’s Role: Vanguard, along with BlackRock and State Street, is frequently cited as a major player in this trend, though they also invest in other real estate through vehicles like Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs).
