I get it … the public is stupid and lazy … that’s nothing new.

But this is different … these are control currencies that put you in a digital gulag.

Most understand that.

I find it amazing how many so called ‘gold bugs’ don’t.

Truely amazing

OUTCROP SILVER ANNOUNCES PARTNER FUNDED MAIDEN DRILL PROGRAM AT THE PEARL COPPER PROJECT, ARIZONA

https://ceo.ca/@newswire/outcrop-silver-announces-partner-funded-maiden-drill

It’s clearly evident that Silver is, once again, the tool that the scum are using to keep the metals from exploding higher….

What will break that stranglehold, if Silver is construed to be a byproduct of a weaker economy (but isn’t the economy going to be better with all of these tremendous trade deals getting implemented??)

But if we can hang on here even despite the selling of the last couple of days, we’ll have higher weekly closes on GLD, SLV, and the HUI. Same to be said for GDX & GDXJ in particular.

A little surprising and definitely not a bad thing.

A coffee shop should use the cash to pay wages and suppliers. Not banking all of it. Pay your staff daily, to avoid security issues. Pay suppliers when they deliver. Pay the landlord in cash. This would actually reduce handling costs and no bank/card transaction fees. 70 years ago that’s what happened.

Thanks for the silver charts. Holding out hope that we can rally from here, starting today actually, but we’ll see what happens.

We’ve had a tentative rally in the overnight market. Gold up $20, silver up $.20. No one, including the Chinese are rushing into buy. OTOH, they aren’t selling. I remember when selling in pm’s would go on for days and weeks at a time. Seems lately we get a couple, three days of selling and then the buyers arrive.

Obviously, it’s too early to tell whether we’ll continue higher, but first look at the shares is positive. Hope it continues.

Oil back above $60. Dollar down a smidge. Bitcoin flat but over $103k. When did that even happen?

The Fed and jobs reports are out of the way with somewhat minimal damage. We are free to rise.

Stopping CBDC’s is going to be nigh on impossible, as the general public loves digital currency…..they also love their mobiles and now their mobiles do pretty much everything for them…….it is also a question of costs, handling cash is a cost to a business, digital must be close to zero cost….I see more and more retail operations, that openly say no cash, or cards preferred…..Plus so many people are plain lazy.

You have to hope that you get governments that appreciate keeping cash for all the good reasons, the bad governments just love digital…..

Cheers

Daily charts shows breakout occurs @ 33.20, which targets 39.00 plus

For now it looks like Trump might have to raise the debt ceiling to get the tax breaks through that are going to reset if they don’t.

Yep. The numbers don’t add up.

The USA imports $4tn p.a. If you had a 50% tariff on everything and people paid it then the govt would have it’s $2tn to cut income taxes so people could afford the 50% tariffs – but that does nothing for the deficit. Except, people haven’t got the tax reduction so can’t afford all the tariffs, so trade contracts, the govt can (as you say) only afford tax cuts by borrowing (printing) more as the tariff income isn’t high enough, and round ‘n round ‘n round it goes.

In any case, nobody is going to pay a 50% tariff. But less than that, say 10% or 15% which wouldn’t cause demand destruction, doesn’t fund anything. Danged if I can see where Trump is going to pull the rabbit out of the hat here.

You’ll have to ask him that. I can’t read his mind but the message I interpret he’s not planning on bringing all manufacturing back. It’s not just manufacturing either but resources more abundant I’m one country or another and normal trade.We have jobs here as ever country reliant on that too including shipping and transport. They’re lying about job numbers only quoting guesstimates but are contracting. That and mind games like it was higher than what they expected to dress it up. Although the government and the many corrupt contractors, the ones that the Clinton’s hired when they fired gov workers to make it look like they were cutting expenses and shrinking government lost jobs too.

For now it looks like Trump might have to raise the debt ceiling to get the tax breaks through that are going to reset if they don’t.

How does tariff resolution fill Chinese factories? Except at the expense of not onshoring new factories in America? Isn’t the whole point of tariffs to end Chinese production for exports to the USA? and raise revenue to sufficiently to be able to end income taxes for earners under $200,000, tips and overtime: although I see he’s proposing increasing taxes on earnings over $2,500,000. But if tariffs work, the factories in the USA will be full of people earning less than $200,000 p.a., revenue from tariffs will evaporate because it’s all home made and the Chinese factories will still be empty. The US Treasury will be down well over a trillion in income tax revenue, almost certainly more than DOGE will recoup, military spending is now over a trill., the deficit would have been $2tn but will now be nearer $3tn – the numbers just don’t add up.

Candle filled the gap but then sold off.

I wonder what’s going to go on with the tax cuts. Trump is not going to ” this is the new parroted word ” capitulate” lowering any tariffs with China prior to negotiations. They’re dealing with people who wants to bring jobs back home. We might have empty shelves but they’ll have empty factory’s and a lot of angry people. With current trade deals they got a long time ago why would they care what the dollars doing when they can charge like it’s already devalued. Not to say we don’t have government corruption or they wouldn’t of outsourced or caused it with taxes to fund their senseless spending and made all these uneven trades in the first place.

Question now, are tariffs going to help fund tax cuts coming up? Less moola less consumption. Groupon flew up today about 6 dollars.  A discount group for services and products. I’m guessing the shorts will be out for companies that buy a lot of Chinese products like Walmart, Amazon. Then shipping companies and ports.

Opening up for agricultural exports (British farmers already buy Case and John Deere), brilliant deal for beef exports (you ain’t got no beef! Herd at 70 year lows), you got no eggs, you wouldn’t know a real cheese if it hit you in the face at 70mph …..

Rolls Royce parts exempt of tariffs – really US middle class building win there.

But hey! a DEAL! Risk off, buy, buy, buy.

Sorry guys, gold wasn’t fooled. Holding at $3,300 is pretty good in the face of all that false optimism.

It’s getting too late in the day because digital money isn’t hard money and will be devalued just like current fiat, probably even more so. I wonder if their like that in their personal life because you’d think if they didn’t pizz their own money away they would know not to do that to others. That might be optimistic thinking of a honest person. Although the pot calling the kettle black between countries as far as currency were at the end game.

If you have a biggest consumer of goods ” I’ll pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today,” is the biggest producer of debt even being backed by gold won’t have much of a effect unless the importers can be paid in gold.  Then that will be gone next on millions of grants for things like Shrimp on treadmills, gay agendas,  or virtue signaling.

They’re not going to fix anything with digital, just make it worse to where even domestic will move away from it for obvious reasons.

You should read this, everyone should by Ray Dalio. Even with the tariffs unless maybe are low enough and stable which could be a long while the confidence of the USD and getting paid back with constant devaluation of that dollar is seen as not sustainable. Who’s China going to pick next?

https://x.com/RayDalio/status/1916967796065423688

You should be OK either way.

Once we are six-months from the top in stocks (Sept), PM stocks should accelerate higher worst case if history is a good guide.

One would hope by then people will see the CBDCs coming and finally figure out maybe they should buy a little silver for barter.

But stupid is as stupid does so who knows with the characters we are dealing with today.

Cheers mate

Silver flat. SM selling into the close.

Just obligatory Fed selling. Done.

I am no longer waiting for a crash….I am expecting Gold to be used to offset the debt and for that to happen, we will see Gold well north of 10 K…that will drag all the others with it…..and create a mania in all PM’s…..

Tks re AG….they really hate them.
