Loading ...Refinancing, new purchases were ugly. I think the economy is slipping and inflation may join the fray again.
OTOH – Gold shares are stellar. What does it mean? 🤫😂
Fed effect?
Silver shares are less than impressive today so far. Wondering if we still aren’t going to face some Fed games after the announcement.
They’d spend their last dime if they knew they could hurt the pm sector.

BTW Now that many of us are no longer here if retired things are starting to go backwards plus will be harder on doctors ” the good ones” losing they’re eyes and communication networks. Warning find a good doctor and people you can trust.

I agree, in fact I know all about it. That’s why I became a nurse. Concerning our elders veterans and even children. You find it’s not so easy to make things better and learn the games that will try to stop you that are endless and try not to settle in and find like minded to work together. The problem with repubs is they don’t work together as well and need to seriously work on that as well as not think they get a vacation when Trump’s in and knowing he only has a few years they better get things set in stone like the borders and none senile nut like Biden can’t break the law again that will end them and this country with it amongst a plethora of other things.

I totally agree. I made it sound very black and white. I certainly recognize that there’s a lot more to it than just simply looking at the overall general view.
I digress a bit, but I do think that there are some honest, well meaning politicians out there. It’s the system that makes them conform to wrong doing and drags them into the cess pool if they want to politically stay alive.

I’m not taking sides cuz no sides perfect but every what event? Some would call Islamic event. What’s going on in Europe, Ukraine, Iran, China, Canada, South Africa killing white people. As far as these globalist and there CBDCs who caused the devaluation of the dollars? They will use any event as a excuse.
buygold,
there’s that short time window swinging the other way. roller-coaster ride! wheeeee!!!!!
is everybody’s seat belt fastened?

Unfortunately I think you are likely right. Chaos will be a premium time for instituting a CBDC system. They will “SAVE” everyone and if it gets the grocery trucks moving again how much opposition will it get? We are truly COOKED if put under that yoke!

Yep he’s doing his job protecting us while the socialist are giving their country’s away.
Glad gold going up and keep that ratio up.

I think that there may be some truth to what Holter is saying.
China is already using a CBDC monetary system. Europe is beta testing a CBDC system. How can the Global elites rationalize using a CBDC system ( especially here in the US)? To provide stability after a tumultuous, cataclysmic fall in the markets…….We seem to lose more of our liberties after every seismic event (2008, 9-11 etc….)
Will a silver failure to deliver inexorably put us into a “Mad Max” type situation … or might it be a Mad Max lite?
In closing, Holter predicts, “There will be failure to deliver silver in the first part of March 2026…”
” The currencies will zero out. It is a collapse of the entire financial system…
The real economy runs on credit. Everything you touch, everything you do . . . credit has been involved in its creation.
If credit becomes unattainable, the real economy completely shuts down, and that is where your Mad Max comes in.”
Silver shorts just got slammed
in a two-minute window, silver went up over a buck. Silver shares turned around quickly.
maddog, Goldie
maddog – totally agree. It’s gold’s turn to carry the load for a bit
Goldie – good point about China and oil

It’s not only that. Trump is going to prevent China getting chummy with oil and metal resource nations like Venezuela now Iran next preventing them out to corner real assets for themselves. So meanwhile China is over in Canada getting chummy with their PM bought another mine and will dangle IOUs in front of him for real resources and rob them blind.
Dollar is snapping back today
headed back toward the 200 dma.

Yes once they realize it’s real money vs IOUs the government doesn’t want them to understand. To understand how many IOUs it takes to trade for a one dollar silver real money. Right now they’d be kinda stupid not to take it especially at spot.
I read on comments on YouTube A painter quoting a elder woman on the price to paint her house the woman asked him if he would take half cash and half silver dollars. He said hell yeah and worth more now than when he made the deal. Not to mention what he saved on premiums if he were to trade it for dollars.
They want to turn all jobs into corporations with employees and debt slaves or robots and I think that’s one of the reasons then tax tax tax will banks can go on lending money the people no longer have
money the banks don’t have either.
Citi and Pamp Suisse – He’s half right

Yes, Citigroup (Citi) did raise its short-term price target for silver to $150 per ounce.This update was announced on January 27, 2026 (Tuesday), with multiple reliable financial news sources confirming the details:
- Citi upgraded its 0-3 month forecast for silver from $100/oz to $150/oz.
- The bank described silver as behaving like “gold on steroids” (or “gold squared”), driven by strong momentum, speculative and physical demand (especially from China), capital rotating into precious metals, and tightening supply conditions.
- This was the second upward revision in recent weeks, as silver had already surged past earlier targets amid a historic rally (with spot prices hitting records around $117/oz before some pullback).
- Citi noted potential near-term risks like profit-taking from Chinese investors around Lunar New Year, which could increase volatility, but remains bullish overall on silver outperforming gold until it looks “expensive” by historical standards (e.g., potential for $170/oz if the gold-silver ratio reverts to 2011 lows).
Did the CEO of MKS say silver was going to $150?
No, there is no evidence that the CEO of MKS PAMP (or any executive from the company) stated or predicted that silver was going to $150 per ounce.
Searches across news sources, the company’s official website (mkspamp.com), LinkedIn announcements, and recent interviews (e.g., Reuters on U.S. expansion in January 2026) show no quotes or reports of the CEO (or other execs) claiming silver would reach $150.
Nevermind – Grok re: margins – they did, but don’t know where he got 47%
From reliable sources like Bloomberg and direct CME notices referenced in posts:
- The CME increased the margin requirement for Comex silver futures from 9% to 11% of the notional value (contract value, based on the silver price times 5,000 ounces per standard contract).
- This change applied to silver, as well as platinum and palladium in some cases.
- It followed a period where margins were already percentage-based (shifted earlier in January 2026 from fixed dollar amounts to percentages like 9% for silver to handle volatility in surging prices).
- Some trader posts referenced a specific dollar figure like ~$51,977 per contract in the context of the hike, but the core adjustment was the percentage increase to 11% for non-heightened risk profiles.
maddog, et all
Watched an Asian Guy video but it was one of the copycats.
He said a couple of things that I’d like to know if they were true or not true:
- On Monday when the silver price soared up to $117, the Crimex came in with a 47% margin hike and that’s why it sold off so violently at the end of the session.
- He said that both Citibank and the CEO of MKS Pamp Suisse the refiner, came out and said silver was going to $150
True or not true?
I’ll check with Grok too. I always forget about that wonderful tool.

I’m sure there are a lot of things I don’t know. Maybe they are banking on the regime falling quickly, Trump doesn’t like long wars. Their missile capacity is no joke though, based simply on pure numbers, and a lot of those missiles landed in Israel during the last dust up, which is why it ended so quickly. I can’t see us trying to occupy Iran though, so maybe the goal is just regime change.
If you read ferret’s link, it showed the Saudi’s and UAE unwilling to open their airspaces, so even the Saudi’s who’ have no love for Iran, don’t want to see this happen. Then there’s Turkey. Then, let’s not forget all the Muslim’s Sleepy Joe and his administration let in our country, I’m sure we’ll have their full support.
This will make Trump a neocon hero, worshipped by the likes of Lindsay Graham and the half of the US Congress that flies Israeli and Ukranian flags in their offices. It will also make it clear that he is a tool.
It has to happen though because it’s prophetic. I suppose if it brings us a day closer to the Day of the Lord, then Amen. I’m tired of this rock.

Excellent about trading coins for goods or services.
Both sides avoid the spread!
There are a lot more people now and in the near future who might understand and be interested.
