Remember back years ago when there was speculation that the scum would send out smoke signals via charts that showed plunges in the metals that didn’t manifest at the time, but would show up in the price of the metal sometimes days later?
Anyhoo the UUP quote for the dollar just reflected a 2.3% plunge. Not a real quote because UUP is actually up 6 ticks.

We’ve seen a lot of stuff in the last 25 years. A lot of funny business too. 😳

Things appear to be going our way these days though , thankfully.

I’ll bet we’ll see more of this gearing up mining and I saw somewhere that China was looking at Mexico hopefully not to try to buy their mines but to refill supply after London.. It wont be as easy like growing more crops and we dont need to be speculative about mines future potential meeting demands for awhile. Barrick is going to have a new IPO next yr too.

“No one in the Middle East actually blocks intersections to pray in the streets and yell Allahu Akbar. They do it in your countries is because they’re trying to assert their religious dominance over you and claim your country and turn it into Sharia law.”

I wondered if silver could slow just before 70 but I guess the China who supplies 13 percent shutting down exports warning finally sunk in. If current demand is outpacing supply and future demands with manufacturing it’s not that much of a over reaction on fears of shortages and countries needing to secure what they will need not just for this year but next.

A shift in federal administrative policy regarding environmental and water permitting has reactivated a mining investment pipeline valued at over US$11 billion. The clearing of regulatory backlogs is poised to trigger a wave of capital deployment across major mining hubs, with Zacatecas, Sonora, Chihuahua, and Durango serving as the primary beneficiaries.

Fernando Aboitiz, Head of the Extractive Activities Coordination Unit, Ministry of Economy (SE), confirmed that the Claudia Sheinbaum administration has tackled the permitting bottleneck that defined previous years. Aboitiz told El Financiero that the government inherited 176 stalled projects at the start of the term. Through an accelerated review process, officials have resolved 110 of these cases, leaving only 66 pending. The unit expects to normalize administrative operations by mid-2026.

Your probably one of the few that persevered this long that will still be young enough to enjoy it and maybe retire earlier. Just hope you don’t have to be treated for PTSD.

I’m.glad I continued to buy this month too no big 100 oz silver but another 20 oz no, mas online with taxes now in gold.  Think my last yr for silver gifts less one ounce if available.  If a crash does come I think like 08 the phyz will hold out better than stocks although with demand metal stocks won’t stay down but the phyz might be harder to get because it will be bought up. Most women know if you wait for sales the items you want might get sold out so if there’s something you really want you don’t wait   I don’t know why I never paid too much attention to those 5 oz coins other than attention towards eagles and collectables but they’re so cool. I can sew water proof covers for them and make coasters out of them and hide them on plain sight.

“No One” knew this was coming

Best of the season to all my friends at the Oasis

21 days left before buyers and manufacturers will have even a harder time buying silver. They’re shutting down their exports. No more bailing out shortages. They need to increase their own supply for demand. Hope this link works.

Despite a slightly higher dollar and a 10 yr that is up 3 bips to 4.17%. Not supposed to happen after a Fed cut. The last 3 cuts have had virtually no effect on rates. Too much debt floating around.

SM mixed, Bitcoin and oil drifting down a bit – not much.

PM shares look good this morning, with many up 2+%. NEM breaking above $100 for the first time ever. Silver back above $64.

Hopefully this is the start of the year end melt-up in our tiny sector.

Looking good for now. We’ll see what the Crimex has in store for us today.

Can’t argue with that.

I donated to Larry Klayman but they need to get their operating cost down so more can go to the lawyers.

But how much more betterer would Europe have done with cheap Russian gas on tap? Cutting off your nose to spite your face.

They seem to be doing fine but how would Russia have done without the sanctions?

When you say try getting it for that, are you saying that the local coin shops are seeing a lot of buying up there?

It looks like the dealer I’ve used for a long time is still seeing more sellers come in than buyers. He’s paying under spot for everything and premiums are pretty reasonable.

Gold is pretty much the same, except they don’t have much stock in any bars above 10 oz.

That might indicate that the wealthier clients aren’t selling.

Price of oil April 2022, over $100/bbl. Now $57. Debt to GDP has skyrocketed though from 18.5% to 22.5%. Shocking.

Good to see gold up 1% and the HUI break out.  Hopefully we sort of melt up into the new year. Shouldn’t be much in the way of tax loss selling.

Silver in a “blue sky” breakout. Nobody who’s been holding silver at $70 for the last 10 years is going to be waiting to sell. Just shorts and new buyers. Algorithms too I guess. 🤔

We’ve waited 25 years for this. Amazing to see.

What I was saying in my last post was that some of you have already experienced your ETF delisting and going quietly into the night with your money. If that’s the game you’re playing, the Gambler song would again be appropriate. Once I realized that these ETF’s were nothing but a fake replacement for the Mutual Funds which DID actually have the goods they represented…and with a mutual fund you might lose money because their  actual HOLDINGS lost values…They at least OWNED what they were selling, where IMO the ETF’s do NOT, or in their original Charters they were not required to. Once I determined that in the early 2000’s I refused to ever buy another ETF….and I never did! Instead I bought 108 miners and explorers which I sold in 2011 for enough to again retire. which I did…and my life has continued to be what my handle represents.  All FWIW…We all make our own decisions. Make sure the one you make is right, and best of luck from SNG!

I wish we could hold on to it, pricks. I still remember calling my dad on 9/11 and asking him what’s the price of gold dad????? It should have been this price one month afterwards. I wish he could see this. The tent was right. Cheers from Eagle Eye.

May we seek truths about 9/11 and find peace.

They IMO are the reason the prices have been suppressed, and anyone who is buying the ETF’s is contributing to that suppression, and when “the music stops”, they will find they are holding an empty bag of hot air and the ETF’s will just delist and be gone with your money. When I researched the ETF’s when they first started using them they all said they TRACKED and reported the underlying value of the stocks or indices or commodities they represented but had no obligation to OWN them. Their only obligation was to report the  value of the item their ETF represented

Whoa rocket power!
