And have issued a stable coin fully backed by gold, so you can buy things with ounces, or scudos as they call their smaller unit, 1,000th of an ounce, currently worth $4.455. They already have a stable coin fully backed by UST.

Next stop silver?

If so please paraphrase what their basic predictions might be right now

Someone hit all PM’s after the SM close last night…..right after strong closes near all time Hi’s . a very clever point to hit…..as I posted a C down wave was possible…..judging by those Zero articles, it looks like a concerted hit is on.

Even though it is the best conductor of electricity. Likewise we don’t build ships of gold, even though it never rusts. So when the price of silver shoots up, manufacturers change to copper because the drawbacks of copper are outweighed by the lower price.

This won’t happen overnight – in Q2 2026 according to the article – but if industrial demand was a major driver of the price surge the substitution will have an effect. While industrial demand must’ve pushed the price up some, I suspect that investment as a substitute for gold is/has become the prime driver now that people have been reminded that there is a cheaper alternative to gold. “Cheaper” only meaning I can really feel the weight of $500 of silver! And I can see it without a magnifying glass.

more like normal to see short covering into the close. Should see it particularly in the silver shares. Should and will are two different things I guess.

AEM  and AGI flipped positive. Didn’t realize the HUI got all the way down to 719 this morning, -33 points. Now down only 7.

FTAI Aviation Ltd, I owned it last year in 2024 until some shorting company shorted it for some strange reason.

I noticed it finally made an upside breakout on Dec 30 and going up steady 6 trading days ever since. So I looked it up and its been going up for good reasons, so I bought a few shares today.

If you scroll down you can see the insiders have been buying.

Treefrog – couldn’t agree more

deer79 – for the small fee of $99.99 the name of that undervalued million dollar junior can be revealed to you.

….and what is the miner referred to in your last posting????

What it means is on occasion longer term, the Dow and Gold prices cross each other.

Like around 1980 Gold hit 800 and the Dow was down to 796. For that to happen again, with the Dow now at 49,584, Gold would would be up past $49,584 per ounce.

Or, if the Dow would have to drop to 6,000 (from 49,584) and Gold up past $6,000/oz. (one ounce buying the dow) The Dines Letter used to mention the Dow Gold ratio. I think it happened around 1929 also.

The Silver Spike is Here: Why $80 is Just the Beginning, the M2-Adjusted Target is $744, the Miners are About to Go Ballistic, and This Silver Junior Is Set to Have a Parabolic 2026!

For years, it was the forgotten precious metal, the laggard cousin to gold, suppressed and ignored. But in early 2026, something snapped. Silver did not just “catch up”; it began a violent, historic re-pricing.

The explosive move to now above $80 an ounce, a stunning +266% gain from its recent lows, is not the end of the story. It is the first chapter.

This is not a speculative frenzy driven by retail whims. This is a fundamental revaluation driven by a perfect storm of three powerful forces:

• a catastrophic industrial supply crunch
• a tidal wave of monetary inflation
• a still-belated recognition by institutional capital that silver is the most undervalued asset on the planet.

While the mainstream financial media is just waking up to the move, the physical market has been screaming for months, with dealers sold out, premiums in China soaring, and a structural deficit that can only be solved by much, much higher prices.

• You need to know the complete story of the great silver re-pricing.
• You need to know its real potential if the environment gets as charged and crazy as many believe it will.
• You need to know that the silver miners are currently undervalued relative to the metal and why.

And you need to know about this silver junior miner and its potential for a big move in 2026.

Let’s Dig Into The Following:

1. The current silver spike is not about jewelry demand or a sudden, fleeting love for precious metals. It is the result of (3) distinct, powerful, and simultaneous forces hitting a market with paper-thin liquidity. Why these (3) titanic forces are not acting in isolation; they are feeding on each other, creating a violent, self-reinforcing feedback loop!
2. As stunning as silver’s move to ~$80 has been, the most incredible part of this story is how cheap the silver mining stocks still are. In a normal bull market, the junior miners provide 2-3x leverage to the underlying metal price. In this market, they are not even keeping pace with the metal. This is a classic sign of disbelief by big money. Why when they finally come around to belief, the tsunami of cash that will pile into this tiny, illiquid sector will make the recent move in the metal look like a tremor before the earthquake!
3. To understand the magnitude of what is likely coming, we can look to past cycles for examples. The current setup in the silver market is not without precedent. The 1970s and the early 2000s both witnessed explosive, multi-year bull markets in silver that offer a roadmap for what is possible today. The fact that the miners are currently lagging the metal so dramatically is not a sign of weakness; it is a sign that we are still in the very early innings of this bull market. The stage is set for a move that will not just echo the past, but will likely dwarf it!
4. In the hunt for undervalued silver miners, this company stands out as a textbook example of the opportunity at hand. This is a company that combines a world-class asset, a safe jurisdiction, a proven management team, and a chart that is coiled for a massive breakout. The best part is it sits in the same neighborhood as multiple major producers. Why this currently undervalued junior silver miner represents a rare convergence of fundamental and technical tailwinds!
5. And why the silver re-pricing is not a question of “if,” but “when!”

we have been seeing volatility on steroids in silver.  i suspect this is only a preview of coming attractions for the next couple months.  as the end of march (delivery month) approaches, it will likely escalate.

THE 12:1 DOW-TO-GOLD LINE OF DEATH: Why The Most Important Chart in the World is Now Flashing a Code Red!

The financial media is in a state of euphoria. Champagne corks are popping on Wall Street as the Dow Jones Industrial Average sails past 49,000 for the first time in history.

Our 401(k) statement looks fantastic. The “wealth effect” is in full swing, encouraging us all to spend, spend, spend. But this is a dangerous illusion, a grand deception designed to mask a terrifying truth: we are not getting richer; the money in our pocket is becoming worth less. Much less!

This is the financial matrix, a carefully constructed reality designed by the central banking and political elite to keep us docile, compliant, and perpetually running on their fiat currency treadmill.

They want us to celebrate the meaningless numbers on a screen, to feel the temporary thrill of a rising 401(k), because as long as we are focused on the illusion, we won’t notice them systematically stealing our purchasing power through inflation.

They are magicians, and the stock market is their grand act of misdirection. While we watch the spectacle of nominal new highs, they are picking our pockets in slow motion. That’s why so few of us feel like their retirement savings are on track, despite the market’s being at all-time highs. Weird right?!

But what if there was a way to pull back the curtain? What if there was a single chart, a single ratio, so powerful and so honest that it could shatter the entire illusion in an instant?

There is. It is the Dow-to-Gold ratio, the ultimate truth-teller in a world of financial lies. It is the red pill. And right now, it is not just suggesting that something is wrong; it is screaming that a system-wide failure is on the near horizon, and possibly it is imminent.

The most important chart in the world is flashing a code-red warning, a signal that has preceded every major economic crisis of the last 100 years. It is screaming that the party is coming near an end. That the piper is pulling up to the house. And he will be demanding to be paid in gold.

While the media distracts us with nominal new highs, they ignore the most honest measure of value on the planet: gold. With gold closing above $4,490 an ounce, yesterday’s celebrated Dow 49,000+ is worth just 11 ounces of gold.

In September 1999, the Dow was worth over 43 ounces of gold. That is a staggering 74% decline in real terms over the last 26 years. Yet many believe in the rise as if it were the second coming, despite the plunge in its purchasing power. We have all been running on a treadmill, sweating and straining, only to find ourselves moving backward. That is the reality.

The Dow-to-Gold ratio, the ultimate truth teller, is screaming that the stock market is not in a bull market; it is in or near the final, manic phase of a historic bubble.

The chart is flashing a code-red warning, signaling that we are on a collision course for a crisis of the same magnitude as 1929, 1973, and 2008 unless our leaders dramatically change course; and there is no indication they will.

Let’s Dig Into The Following:

1. The Dow-to-Gold ratio is a simple, yet profoundly powerful calculation: the value of the Dow Jones Industrial Average divided by the price of one ounce of gold. It tells you how many ounces of gold it takes to “buy the Dow.” Why this ratio cuts through the noise of inflation and currency debasement!
2. There is a clear line in the sand that emerges at the 12:1 level. Whenever the Dow-to-Gold ratio has broken below this critical support line, a major economic crisis has followed. Why this is not a coincidence; it is a pattern, a historical echo that warns of impending doom for paper assets today!
3. The fall in the ratio to 12:1 is just the beginning. The ultimate destination for the Dow-to-Gold ratio in a true monetary crisis is closer to 1:1 parity. Why the truth is that the forces of debt, deficit, and de-dollarization are too powerful to be stopped by conventional means!
4. What does a 1:1 Dow-to-Gold ratio actually look and feel like? This is not a hypothetical question. We have seen this movie before, and it does not have a happy ending for those who are unprepared or “didn’t see this coming.” Why this is the world that the Dow-to-Gold ratio is telling us is coming for us. This is why we all must prepare now, while we still can!
5. So why isn’t this front-page news? Why is the media celebrating the illusion of Dow 49,000 while ignoring the reality of the declining Dow-to-Gold ratio? The answer lies in a symbiotic relationship between Wall Street and Washington. Why the media does the heavy lifting for the government by hyping up the market and not gold!
6. And the Dow-to-Gold ratio is the most important chart in the world right now because it is the ultimate truth teller. It is immune to the media’s hype and the government’s propaganda. What the truth teller is screaming at us right now!

Can’t go broke taking a profit. Who knows, maybe you sold the top.

I guess the volatility is with us to stay for a while. Pretty violent moves the last couple of weeks.

I wonder if this will just encourage more folks to take delivery on the Crimex, hastening their demise?
