You know my thinking…this is a revaluation move in AU….where do they take it to…..to get a serious bang for the buck, you are talking $ 15 K to 20 k plus ….an Ag ratio of 30 with Au at $15 k gives an Ag price $ 500…..a 40 ratio with Au $ 20 is the same !!!!! Ag $ 500.
What next?
Silver has doubled since the beginning of November and is up nearly 50% in January alone with a week still left in the month. This has been a Bitcoin type move and the moves are increasing in intensity. The volume tells the story. Is it possible it could double again by March? I wonder. March is the next big Crimex delivery month. If they don’t have the goods and default, then where does it go?
I don’t think the retail public has joined the fray, and we know damn well the smart money is not going to sell until they know they can dump their positions onto Joe Sixpack. What is going to knock this train off the tracks? Or is this just a reset of the price and it gets to a certain level and just stays in a range.
I remember watching Bitcoin go from $100 to $1000, and then back to $150 or so. I couldn’t pull the trigger on even 10 Bitcoins. The thing is, I don’t see silver getting to $200 and then dropping back to $50. Supply and demand are going to prevent that. The miners should work to prevent that as well by easing production if they see prices start to fall.
With gold at $6K and the GSR at 30-1. We are at $200 silver. That seems totally reasonable to me.
Anyone care to opine? We are uncharted territory IMHO.
eeos, Maddog, I don’t usually Buffett, but I do like
“Put all your eggs in one basket, and watch the basket like a hawk”.
Which is what we’ve all done to a certain extent with PMs over the last few decades. With stocks, you would need a lot of time to keep a close eye on 20 of them. With four, you can scour the news, call the company, analyse the announcements, drill results, financials etc. in much greater detail than twenty.
Anyone own USGO
I own a small amount of it. It has a lot of info on it plus all three of the wanna buy up the world companies want a piece of it. Blackrock Vanguard and State Street.
I found this question today on it and was surprised they had price objectives on it. The 26 is a 12 month target it’s 15.00 now.J think the high is a 3 yr forecast. I just bought it the other day already up
Just a FYI please do your own DD.
This was hard to copy
analysts forecast USGO stock price to rise over the next 12 months. According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for USGO is 35.7 USD with a low forecast of 26.77 USD and a high forecast of 45.68 USD.

I would advise against narrowing yr holdings down to 4 stox, as in theory u could lose 25 % if just one of those stox has a disaster, whereas a wider say 20, means only losing 5 % etc.
eeos @ 15:24 Take a Look At Avino ASM up 19% Today
I have 14,000 shares and I’m up 164%. I started buying it in 2017. I have all the stocks shown below.
I added USAS. Get rid of the left with the blue arrow and swipe across the view left to right and up and then out of the way to see the numbers.
take a look at the USAS chart I just posted
When they crash it we go in and we vacuum up all the bits and pieces

I never really ‘trade’. It never worked out for me. Just invest. And rotate
eeos
I should get more copper exposure. Had a little Sprott COPP etf but sold it to by the rare earths. It worked out.
So you like FCX for copper?

Not grubby little socialists on the make.
Now that’s the best description I’ve heard yet.
Trump’s strategy is putting things in place for the future that people have to understand that and not just temp quick fixes as well as straightening out the disasters already made. Because he’s against dictatorship doesn’t mean he’s against peace. He will be met with as much resistance as they can make up fighting against cleaning up any mess they caused and frankly they look like they don’t realize they’re their own worst enemy, like Darwinism in motion. .
I have about 20 positions open too/ This is the reason to sit on USAS from soee
My brother suggested to me that I need to concentrate it down into 4 of my favorite stocks and put all of the money just in those 4. That way we can hedge them with relative simplicity and it’s easier to exit instead of trying to close 20 positions on a terrible day. I’m disappointed that thinkorswim does not have a “sell all” button like Interactive Broker

Demand in China for silver is off the charts eh? Or are they hoarding? Either way, they control something like 70% of the market and squeezing the west, especially the US probably seems like a good idea. I’m sure Russia isn’t crying about higher plat and pall prices either.
The banksters and the environmental whackos have squeezed us out of the mining industry, the banks preventing profitable silver mining and the whackos preventing mining altogether.
Since silver is in a deficit of 20% per year for the last five years, we have the perfect storm. That’s why this time is different and charts and seasonality doesn’t matter. It stops rising when price and demand hit some sort of equilibrium. Apparently, we’re not there yet.
In the meantime, the banksters will continue to screw with gold until monetary events no longer allow it.
au/ag ratio

Since summer
Picking PM mining stocks has been like ‘shooting fish in a barrel’
Thank you both
eeos – I have a little hymc and usas. Both have been great. Didn’t buy hymc till 20 and 24, concerned I was a little late, but glad I did.
I’m small, but my biggest holdings in descending order. Today. I adjust to not have too much at risk in one individual miner.
SLVR
SGDJ
HYMC

USAS

ASM

AG – SLVR holds a lot of this one too

Re Sister in Law…….Don’t worry the US is headed into good times …the Donald and his mates are gonna show the world what happens, when u let smart professionals run countries, not grubby little socialists on the make.
There was a fantastic stock market analyst called Richard Russell, who developed a proprietary index he called the PTI …as long as it was above it’s 89 day Av all was good in the US ….When he passed he gave it to the Aden sisters, who still keep it…..it has kept u in the mkt since @ 2009….and still says stay in……
It might be better replaced with HYMC, FCX, USAS, and some SBSW
That way you get some diversity and you get your toes wet and you watch them more closely. If they’re good, keep adding. I bot FCX and USAS today.
FCX b/c https://x.com/thegladiatorhc/status/2014535920347971916
I rode NG to the basement too. sheesh. I told myself if I ever break even, with some of these miners, I’m gonna sell them and never look back. And then I look at NG’s chart and I say damn that looks like a huge flag. haha. Maybe we should be keeping it. It seems that every time it bull flags it craters. So someone knows something.

Aufever re. NG
I don’t know anything about the company, but noticed that it just announced another 20 million share bought deal financing which will raise some $200 million.
All of us know how main street treats any mining company that is raising more cash by issuing more shares; HAMMER TIME!
In the last 7 months, they’ve also spent $1.2 billion for a 60% share of Barrick Gold’s Donlin Gold…. Huge ambitions ( to make it the largest Gold mine in America, takes a lot of cash!)
Could pay off in the long run if management doesn’t drop the ball……..But again, what do I know???
Oh, they just upped the bought deal amount to $300 million……..
Perhaps their next earnings announcement ( early April I believe) will be pretty important for them….. They do have a little over $100 million cash on hand, but their last quarterly earnings were something like -.25!!!
Novagold has been sucking
Especially today.
Any opinions on it here?
USD down 0.6%.
Yen up 1.5%, Pound and AUD particularly strong. Yields up.
Aufever
Looks like this will be the test now for the miners. With the metals up now are they making more money, and if their not it won’t matter much how much the metal prices are.
Avino up 18%
Someone liked the Q4 report I guess
Maddog
My sister in law, widowed but working. . I sent her some money awhile back to invest in PMs so if it turned against her it would t be her money. I had a feeling if I sent money instead of the phyzz she would never buy it. They don’t have bullion shops near by in the country. The close one I could see and called them only night it but didn’t sell it and that was near 4 hr drive. Maybe a pot belly stove for those cold winters and can cook on them. She decided to put it in very short term treasuries and buy it later. I don’t think she understands that small interest won’t keep up with inflation and what she can buy with it later. At least she will have cash on hand to liquidate if needed. If worse comes to worse if I’m still around I’ll have to send her some barter coins. She has Amish farmers, they’re totally independent and skilled to live totally off the grid around her that will watch out for her if she runs into trouble like when tornado winds blew her barn apart. They rounded up her horses, kept them for her and cleared the debree for her. Shes independent but can’t build or farm food in mass for the horses like my brother. She should give them up to the Amish who would take good care of them. Get some egg laying chickens instead but my brother has a business she’s working alone at now too. But the problem I worry about it’s in real estate. My brother knew how to switch business to what’s needed but no longer there. So far okay as people moving away from city’s.
