Senator Wyden found JPMorgan Chase failed to report over $1 billion in suspicious transactions linked to Epstein.
He asked Treasury Secretary Bessent for the records.
Bessent refuses.
DOJ is blocking the files. Treasury is blocking the money trail.
apparently the annualized Silver lease rates ( mostly for shorter term traders) have NOT come down as the paper players have slammed it!!!
Does anyone know where one can get a current lease rates quote? I tried Kitco ( they say 33%) and the Asian guy says it’s at 12%
I don’t know about gold but the PM shares are getting quite oversold. Haven’t seen that in a while. Maybe it’s time to buy … when everyone is scared *hitless!
I’ll be glad when that last silver bar departs crimex!
Can only think that more funds are getting margin calls as the DJIA keeps falling…..
AND testing yesterdays lows…..What fun!!!! NOT!
I’m hopeful but not optimistic.
Florida also has a surplus and is going to eliminate property taxes for permanent residents. So there’s that, although we already have enough New Yorkers here.

It’s population is 8.4 million
Florida is thriving.
NY and NYC are in crisis.
So is gold. Even with the SM still down some. Maybe silver won’t disappoint today.
edit: and maybe it will suck anyway
Thought we had a chance last night but then the SM futuires rolled over this am and that was all she wrote.
Shanghai dumped their silver price by another $3 down to $80
Now they’re planning on replacing jobs with robots. Brings a new meaning to buy American. Buy from human American. Ive ran into two news arrivals of robots in China having tantrums. It was like they were acting fed up with their repetitive slave jobs and both started swinging their arms all over the place. Both appeared to be working in restaurants
Uber plans to invest up to $1.25 billion in electric vehicle maker Rivian to deploy as many as 50,000 autonomous robotaxis through 2031, the companies said Thursday. The robotaxi production is expected to take place at Rivian’s planned $5 billion Georgia factory east of Atlanta, a company spokesperson said.
This was a fun video to watch. A VN vet was in Tet disabled veteran reminds me of a long time friend who past away on my daughters birthday few months ago still in a bit of denial about. They probably wont like what happened today but can average out plus have other things going for them.
I predicted that if there is another world war the USA will lose global reserve status and China will get it. Like we did, after WW II, it was good after the war because we deserved it. But after 1971 we got it harder and faster with that. We ended up being the global free policeman, we kept buying imports too. The only good years we had was for the workers was 1945 to 1975 at MOST.
East Asian Countries Eye Russian Oil Imports Amid Global Energy Shock – The Moscow Times
Remember when Trump was worried about losing the dollar as the global reserve currency?
Once oil is traded in anything other than dollars in the west, the petrodollar dies.
I guess this wasn’t part of the neocon plan.
Thanks. I guess that would be dollar bullish initially but ultimately very bearish.
The Yen had a really strong day today.
Yeah they’re burning the candle at both ends, and we’re the candle.
Good question about a dollar shortage ( I didn’t quite understand what the context was in the the aforementioned part of the article that I posted).
I asked AI, “ why is there a dollar shortage in Asia?” I got this summary from Chat GPT:
The combination of de-dollarization efforts, currency depreciation, geopolitical tensions, and a push for local currency usage is contributing to the dollar shortage in Asia. These factors are reshaping the financial landscape and encouraging a more diversified currency system in the region.
No dollars flowing from the ME. No more petrodollars flowing into capital markets in the west.
at least a bit of short covering into the close. I’m glad silver closed above $70 and didn’t go below the recent crash low of $67.
I’d love for this to mark some kind of bottom, but I doubt it. Noticed the SM came pretty much all the way back, I wish it hadn’t and we still finished where we did.
After all this time and the move up we’ve had, how can we still have to rely on the SM for our pm’s to hold up?
deer79 – can you explain why a dollar shortage? I probably should know, but how do they find themselves short of the most plentiful currency in the world?
Hope this ends up being a great buying opportunity.
Mr. Copper – you’re right, we don’t have enough money for this war much less a WWIII
Re your: “Even 50 hr wouldn’t be enough at many places”
If we know that, why doesn’t our gov’t leaders know that? I think because low wages created more jobs as they were exporting our jobs out of the country.
Right although some of the prices are due to greed and corruption as well as low wages in some places or exorbitant in government. I always heard growing up that your rent or mortgage should be no more that one weeks paycheck. Even 50 hr wouldn’t be enough at many places.
You brought up some good points.
Re your: “You can drive another stake through the heart of the economy with those numbers”
In my view for decades of farming out all our work overseas, US businesses had to shut down, less taxes from the old profits, Which led to retarded wages, so less taxes from workers, plus more of them on welfare, and at the same time we were importing millions of people from high crime poor countries.
The USA in my area has pot holes everywhere. Plus I’m always hearing about we need affordable homes, affordable health care, etc etc etc. They NEVER say we need affordable jobs. The Minimum wage today adjusted for the 1960s, should be at least $50/hour. Even that is not so much only $2000 a week before taxes. But a higher flunky know nothing guy getting $50/hr would make all the smarter people get paid a lot more. US gov’t would not have a $39 trillion national debt now.
And if there is a WW III, there is not enough money here to pay for it.
