This was three years ago from a apparent English chap predicting in the future where we’re at now. I wonder what he has to say about the future today.
The war in Ukraine may be a more destabilizing event than many realize.
According to GoldMoney’s head of Research Alasdair Macleod, it may be accelerating the evolution of a new monetary system comprised of commodity-backed currencies.
Alasdair predicts such a regime will favor countries like Russia and China, and threaten to fully expose the worsening problem of purchasing power devaluation that afflicts the current major world fiat currencies – like the dollar, yen & Euro.
Could such a momentous transition really be underway? And if so, what will the implications be?
Well here we are now, the war still continues, gas lines broken in Europe negatively affecting their economies , untold dead, people displaced, more dollars that were meant for their own economy up in smoke or in the culprits back pocket, mass migrants that don’t belong there with more of their unrealistic anti tangible anti cultural anti Christ bad ideas.
Dollar gaining downside momentum
rates starting to come back in as well. Nice wind at our backs if it continues.
How long before the fiat system goes boom?
Plat and pall still down but coming back.
Don Michael
Good to hear that.
Holding up well
despite plat and pall taking a hit. Shares look decent premarket.
Dollar helping, heading south back toward the 200 dma. Rates are on the rise.
SM and Bitcoin have been drifting lower all morning.
We have inflation numbers in the form of the CPI today according to the calendar. We’ll see if .Gov is ready to put them out. Could be hot.
As of this moment we are the only game in town. Bitcoin reversed hard in the overnights, was up to $72K+, now barely hanging onto $69K
Hopefully we can hold up.

Yes I saw that and these meddling politicians who have little realization with the real world around them or think it revolves around them exempting themselves with forced EV that doesn’t fit everyone and exaggerated milage gas centered cars that don’t even have room for a spare tire and if one blows then what and exaggerated regulations they come up with didn’t help either. That’s not to mention the merging of parts of the car and added complications increasing vulnerability and difficulty replacing parts now more costly when they’re merged into units it’s giving a real headache to the mechanics. That mixed with these parts or units only made for a few years then what. If those 1950s cars in Cuba were made before political trouble like they are today they would no longer still be running.
To most were already in inflation. Just one more thing is too much when for many it’s already too much. This rise in metals was not caused solely by inflation because those real numbers have been suppressed by bankers for decades but demand and increasing shortages. That parabolic rise went unnoticed by the public. That’s not to say that future prices in certain things might cost a little more down the road.
Both politicians and bankers made a similar mistake thinking they could suppress the prices of the metals but also focused too much on non tangible virtual unreality. Bitcoin for instance was intended by the buyers to be out of bank and government control or diluted and look what happened. Their pretend money bank went belly up and nothing tangible to back it up or recover. No car, house, business, product, just an idea, another one of their bad ideas.
Australian MInes
Australian indices are set for a shake-up as booming gold stocks climb the ranks, impacting both small and large-cap fund managers. Several gold miners, including Westgold Resources, Regis Resources, Vault Minerals and Greatland Gold, are poised to join the S&P/ASX 100. This shift, driven by a surge in gold prices, will increase the benchmark’s gold weighting to 5.5 per cent, the highest in decades. The changes, expected to be announced on March 6th and take effect a fortnight later, will trigger passive flows into the sector. (MarketMocha)

ZH posted another article that mentioned trouble with sub-prime auto lenders (a big one just went belly-up recently) and problems with private credit. I wonder if they’ll just bring all these troubles to light in March and usher in another financial crisis. To me it feels like everything is about to blow, why not lump them all together?
You’re right, Ides of March, that has historically been a time of troubles for markets.
I’d just hate to see hyperinflation, at least right away.
Silver up near 5% tonight. Wild swings these days.
Buygold
I’m not done yet lol. Yep the crimeX
This is FGC find. It’s long and starts with the history if the comex swamp manipulating the metals.
Then March, and why every one should know about it as it goes into the scenarios of what could happen. Scrolled down to this.
The March contract has open interest representing around 380 million ounces. COMEX has 102.5 million ounces registered, falling daily. Even if only 27% demand delivery – conservative given recent rates – they’d need 102.6 million ounces…
Meanwhile in Shanghai, trader Bian Ximing is short 450 tons. The entire Shanghai Futures Exchange has only 349.9 tons available. This guy is short more silver than exists on the exchange. Add to that the unbelievable drain last Friday! There’s simply no escape. Someone fails to deliver.
The paper-to-physical ratio has reached absurd levels. Some estimates put it at 250:1. For every ounce of real silver, there are 250 paper claims. I’ve seen numbers fluctuating between 400:1 to 25:1.
End of last year, I wrote that the US banks went net LONG for the first time in decades. They covered their shorts over the summer and flipped to 773 contracts net long by December. Allegedly JPMorgan, the bank that spent decades suppressing silver, is now positioned to profit from higher prices.
European banks didn’t get the memo. They’re still net short.
So when COMEX (an American institution) raises margins now, who gets hurt? Not JPMorgan (an American institution)… no no… Margin hikes squeeze European banks holding those massive underwater shorts.
So. Now we’re getting to the point I wanted to make: what happens when COMEX actually runs out?
There’s one scenario they probably should do but won’t: let the price run.
Why do you think that people are demanding delivery at 98% rates? Because they don’t trust COMEX to have metal later. Every delivery demand is a vote of no confidence.
If COMEX let silver run to $150, $200, … contracts would start rolling forward. Traders who believe COMEX delivers at $180 in June don’t ask for a panic-deliver in March. Delivery pressure will ease. Shorts will get crushed – which is what’s supposed to happen in a shortage. Markets will clear. And their credibility as a market will be restored.
But I can nearly assure you: they won’t. The shorts are European banks. But how are they entangled into the global financial system? Failure of one, would that set off a global contagion? Just look what happened to Lehman Brothers… “Contained” they said.
I wouldn’t want to be a politician in this environment. Because you’ve got the choice between two evils. Let European banks eat the losses, or permanently losing price discovery to China?
Because if they choose to intervene too obviously – liquidation-only, trade cancellations, forced cash settlement – every serious trader routes business through Shanghai. Yuan will become the pricing currency. And China controls yet another strategic market. https://no01.substack.com/p/this-time-is-different

Well, that’s the rumor – the end of Crimex. I’d venture that since we know about it, something different or unexpected will happen.
I personally don’t think a fraudulent market should be allowed to exist, but if we took the fraud out of the market, there wouldn’t be any markets left. 😉
and meanwhile, across the international date line, where it’s already monday morning…
…silver’s up three bucks.
…hold it, a seller just showed up, two bucks. loony toons again.
Buygold good news for stackers that hold on.
Here’s the current numbers.
Based on early 2026 reports, a major, structural, and unprecedented crisis in silver delivery is expected for March 2026. The COMEX exchange faces a critical shortage, with paper claims (open interest) significantly outweighing registered, deliverable silver, creating a high risk of delivery failure, forced cash settlements, and severe price volatility.
Key Issues Surrounding March 2026 Silver Delivery:
- Massive Shortage: Open interest for the March 2026 contract represents over 400-500 million ounces, while registered, deliverable silver in COMEX vaults is only a fraction of that, at roughly 85–113 million ounces.
- High Paper-to-Physical Ratio: Estimates suggest 5:1 to over 356:1 paper-to-physical ratios, meaning too many investors are chasing too little metal.
- Drain on Inventories: Registered silver inventories have dropped by nearly 40% in late 2025/early 2026, with a rapid, continued daily drain.
- Market Vulnerability: Experts warn this could be the “funeral of COMEX,” leading to force majeure or a total loss of confidence in the paper pricing system.
- Import Restrictions: India has restricted imports of plain silver jewelry until March 31, 2026, limiting global supply.
Other Factors:
- High Demand: Physical demand is driven by industrial needs (solar panels, AI, electric vehicles) and investment hoarding, not just speculation.
- Price Volatility: The market has experienced violent swings and high premiums due to this squeeze.

Don’t forget the Ides of March, could be good or bad after second week depending on any change of direction.
Ps currently I suspect a certain group of people are trying to shake out the phyz from both the PMs and Bitcoin holders in self custody. For what scheme they thought up next I don’t know.
$5K and $80 re-breached in the early going
The seller that showed up this time last week has yet to appear.
Captain – which AI character do we trust more, Asian Guy or Old Professional Lady
The message is good though. If the numbers are right in those standing for delivery as of Feb. 7th and the amount of registered available for delivery, it could be a real exciting March. Could it be the banks be standing for delivery?

BASEL III Kicks In Monday: Banks Now Forced to Hold 85% Physical Assets.
I don’t believe anything those lying sh*ts say but we will see … because I can’t believe the banks would allow themselves to be out of position to this extent if Basil III is actually going to be enforced …
Anyway … the confusion might spark a real rally in short order … again … we will see.
With the collapse in CME Silver open interest into Friday … aided by the price smashes over the past week … one thing is for sure … if US banks are net long again … they are definitely taking it seriously.

Stellantis Writes Down $26B On EVs, Shifts To “Freedom Of Choice.”
Major automakers’ EV losses now total $140 billion! Plus, a daunting NERC map and Texas sues turbine-blade dump owner.
The EV bloodbath keeps getting bloodier.
Yesterday, Stellantis — the company formerly known as Chrysler — announced it was writing off $26 billion due to its disastrous foray into electric vehicles. In a press release that sounds almost like a parody, the company said the charges “reflect a strategic shift to put freedom of choice” at the “heart” of the company’s plans.
There’s more. In a presentation accompanying the announcement, the company said it is making a “decisive reset to make customers’ preferences our guiding star” and that it would put the customer at “the center” and focus on “demand rather than command.”
Gee. Imagine that. A company that produces more than 5 million cars per year is going to build automobiles that customers want to buy, not the machines the corporation intends to sell. Stunning! Maybe the company’s leaders called marketing guru Seth Godin for help with strategy. You can almost imagine the conversation:
Stellantis: “Hey Seth, how do you think we could sell more cars?”
Seth: “Have you thought about what your customers want to buy?”
Stellantis: “Why no. We haven’t. That’s a great idea! What a terrific insight! Thanks so much.
Seth: “No problem. I’ll send you my invoice.”
The move by Stellantis shows, yet again, the incredible blunder made by the world’s biggest automakers as they raced to build EVs only to find out that the overwhelming majority of their customers were not interested in buying them. Last month, I reported in these pages that, since 2022, the combined EV-related losses at seven major automakers totaled $114 billion. Adding Stellantis’ writedown to that sum brings the losses to a whopping $140 billion!
Here’s a closer look at the Stellantis announcement, along with two updated spreadsheets showing the losses for each automaker. I also have two short items, including NERC’s warning about electricity shortages and the Texas AG’s long-overdue lawsuit against the owner of two notorious wind turbine blade dumpsites in Sweetwater.

“Klaus Schwab’s Great Reset vision is materializing before our very eyes. The bottom 80% own nothing, have less and less to spend, but they aren’t very happy. When 80% of the population is seeing their standard of living decline rapidly, while observing the wealthy getting wealthier, and the evil elite normalizing pedophilia, child mutilation, and degeneracy as a lifestyle, the groundwork for violent revolution should be underway, with guillotines and gallows being constructed across the land.”
