This email between Epstein and Hollywood producer Barry Josephson is particularly eye opening.
“I’ve been thinking a lot about that question that you asked bill gates ‘how do we get rid of poor people as a whole'”
I checked the Dec 26 option…it has strikes out to 24 K….with 3.7 K lots at 10 K and over 7.5 K lots at 15 and 20 K
I checked some other months and they dont go that Hi
to come out and defend our sector again!
Where’s Larry when you need him?
It’ll be like a bomb going off in their face! Never underestimate the stupidity of politicians.
This is the kind of thing that kicked off Germany’s hyperinflation last time.
Hide your money in real assets … quick … chuckle.
They never learn.
Amazing
“Following rigorous analysis, the Board has decided to move forward with preparations for an initial public offering (“IPO”) of Barrick’s North American gold assets in order to maximize shareholder value”
but I was afraid to look at the shares, I thought they’d be a lot worse.
Maybe Barrick’s earnings are helping. Despite their na share offering, it is good to see them raising their dividend and buying back shares as well.
edit: nevermind, the real pm shares just showed up.

🚨💥BREAKING: STATE OF WYOMING TO BUY PHYSICAL PRECIOUS METALS & VAULT OUTSIDE THE BANKING SYSTEM 💥🚨
On gold and silver, Armstrong is decidedly bullish on both metals and says, “This is not the major high…”
” We have too much craziness on the horizon, from sovereign debt default to war. You are just getting a pullback and consolidation…
I am looking at the $165 to $200 per ounce area for silver. For gold, I am looking at resistance at the $8,500 per ounce level and, after that, $10,000 per ounce . . . in the next few years.”
i seem to remember a few weeks ago posting a silver forecast that went something like this:
“lots of volatility (up AND down), increasing through jan, feb, and into early mar. much pissing and moaning (with fireworks) going into march deliveries.”
i do not see any reason to change.
Netherlands To Tax Unrealized Gains: EU Wealth Grab And Global Implications

A fiscal storm is brewing in the Netherlands. With the potential introduction of a tax on unrealized capital gains, The Hague is set to become a testing ground for the systematic transfer of wealth from the private sector to the state. Across all government levels, the European Union is increasingly transforming into an aggressive parasitic system.
A fundamental clash between the public and private sectors is intensifying across the EU. In March, both chambers of the Dutch parliament will decide on the implementation of an annual tax on unrealized gains. Going forward, all increases in value—from real estate and stocks to bonds and cryptocurrencies—would fall under this fiscal framework.
This move significantly accelerates the extraction of capital from the private sector, constituting a political rule violation. Already taxed income and assets would be hit again based on hypothetical gains, severely impeding private wealth accumulation.
these massive hits are timely in the fact that any pop we should receive due to great PM earnings have been psychologically skewed by the carpet bombers….
maddog – do you know how far out they go?
deer79 – yep, getting ugly now. Never underestimate the ability of things to get worse. You know what my greatest fear is? That we hit the top over a week ago and I missed the opportunity to cash in my chips. Seems like we are right back to the way it’s always been with pm’s now. The Chinese New Year is an eternity for the scum to crush silver, especially with $10 moves like this.
are stop hunting this morning. Chinese are off for Lunar New Years but not until Feb. 17.
So I guess everything is back to normal now. What a friggin joke.
Gold is down some 14% from its peak, and Silver is down roughly 37% from its high!
Just burns me up that the scum win again!!!
Re options at 10 K , 15 K and 20 K….u have to be pretty sure to go that far above, or it’s just wasted money……
Re Scum Algo’s……I don’t think they are that sophisticated, they employ good traders with unlimited Vol, with that u can make mkts do anything….all I know is some mkts do not trade as normal mkts….
Shanghai pm fix came in at $87.71. So, I guess it means they’re taking their queue from paper, I don’t know “who”s” paper, but whatever trades overnight.
That being said, somehow I thought it would be worse this am. 10% down is ugly in silver, but wondering why gold isn’t getting hit harder. The unfortunate part about Shanghai lowering the pm fix is that it tightens the spread and the scum doesn’t have to worry about it now. If we closed here, an $8 spread is about where it’s been on most days, it’s hard to see any recovery.
I can’t make sense of any of it. Maybe demand is slowing and the industrial guys are holding off to see what happens.
We re-tested the lows of Friday again, hopefully that’s all this is.
Becoming one ? Lol
But I see that yellow has bounced $90 in an hour, and white $4.50. The binary store of wealth whatever not so…..
Becoming one what?
