Not getting pounded yet in the premarket, but has only traded 100 shares, I’d think those numbers would be worthy of a 10+% smash, but hopefully not for anyone holding it.
I know it’s early, but it is so refreshing to see strength most days in the metals. What a shift from a year ago.
Knocking on wood this am.
It took all night but the bull continues
We have silver sitting at the uber dangerous $33 level that they’ve been fighting for months. Gold bumping $2950
Interesting that the metals rallied yesterday with the dollar and rates higher. Looks like more of the same today early on.
Oil up near 1%. Bitcoin flat. SM flat. Bitcoin hasn’t moved much lately, seems to be stuck in the $95 – 100K range.
Looking for better action in the shares today, as long as the metals don’t tank. But we’ll see how that goes and what the Crimex has to say about $33 silver.
Maddog – agree with you on the shares. They’ll garner some serious interest eventually IMHO
Buy signal Silver
Note how the 50 Av has come down to sniff the 200 day Av….if we move away, then that will also be a strong buy signal
Buygold
Morning
Re Whistle blower…soon they won’t be able to handle all the whistle blowers….
would I be correct in saying that names are not being mentioned yet, because Patel has yet to be confirmed in the FBI, who would have to do the arresting….
Morning ferret
Yes, no doubt it would be deflationary. Trump & Co. will have to grow the economy, bringing manufacturing jobs back here, reduce regulations so that drillers and farmers are cut loose to produce as much as they want. He’ll have to cut/eliminate taxes in a big way, and rates will have to come back to 0% I’m sure his plan is to grow us out of that.
All the cutting won’t happen at once, but if they can cut a couple trillion from the budget, and it appears they can, he will have room for a stimulus program if needed.
The amount of fraud in social security here is just insane. They have a whistleblower who came out and said they were giving illegal immigrants social security disability payments for life. Those rotten pieces of garbage deny disability to American citizens all the time and make it impossible for people that need it to get it. I know several people who’ve applied and been denied. They actually needed it. Now we find out they just give it to illegals whether they are unable to work or not? Hanging is not good enough for those people running SSA.
ferret
Agree 100 % about Trump and Musk…regarding deflation risk…the debt problem remains, Bessant has said they will monetise assets….Shectman noted Gold has been on a tear since November, ie as soon as Trump was the winner…..it is now seriously out performing all other PM’s , which as Shectman says points to insider front running.
He also mentioned that total liabilities could be as much as $ 200 Trillion……revaluing Gold at a price that compares to just the official debt, is many multiples up.
Interestingly the Adens have been saying for a long time that they see Gold peaking in 2026/7….after a huge run…..they have been saying that for a few years.
Buygold/SNG
Re Vol
From what I see Vol still makes sense…where there is a huge diff, is the amount of trading that is Algo’ driven, like well over 70 %…I was only half joking when I said Algo’s can’t read, most can’t and even then how do they seriously weight ‘news’…which explains why so far we see no sign of panic in the PM share shorts.
All they see is a rally to sell into and every time since 2012 that has worked…..
Then we may have spread funds, that are long metal short shares, who are making out like bandits…..well not so much since 2016, but even there by staying long metal short shares prices are at all time lows , so no need to worry, just keep adding on all rallies.
One small silver stock I have was down near 10 % yesterday, on no news….
What they shorts do above 172 in the XAU and 375 Hui…could be interesting….
The other huge problem the shorts have, is have they delivered all the stock they are short ….I listened to Musk on shorters, he hates them, because of the amount of attacks on Tesla, where lie after lie has been spread and the SEC did nothing, despite him complaining to them……sorting the SEC out is personal, which is why the SEC enquiry is already criminal.
Ferrett
I don’t know all Trump’s doing but he’s always doing something. He has business plans lined up. It’s nice to know that I don’t have to think about it or in the demos case worry about it. That there’s someone there that knows what their doing and it’s not a nefarious agenda dreamed up by some bored psycho elitist who has no life.
He has countries that are willing to invest billions in this country in manufacturing and the pay off is no tarriffs and lower tarriffs for purchases. He plans on bringing some of our manufacturing back and pharmaceutical companies back. We can’t expect it all to happen over night but there is a plan for the future.
Severe deflation, the outcome of a successful DOGE.
Getting a bit concerned about the impact of Musk and Co. being so successful. Suppose they do manage to slice $2tn p.a. off government spending? It doesn’t really matter if it is fraudulent SS payments, corrupt treasury payments, overpaying of contracts for military and other procurements or the abolition of whole departments; it’s taking $2tn out of the economy.
I’m not suggesting they don’t do it – but there doesn’t seem to be a plan to soften the impact.
Cap’n 12:12, but what’s the alternative?
If Kamala had won the deep state would have strengthened its control of society and the descent into communism would be guaranteed. The blob would have found more ways and means to oppose the opposition, and with J6 then entrenched as a precedent jailings of any opponents would become normal and any publicity suppressed. Nobody would know what was happening.
Where is the evidence for Trusk wanting to do what Chris Hedges suggests? All I see so far is two guys doing their best for America and its people and having an absolutely disgraceful amount of fun at the same time! Musk in particular. I can’t see any hint of him wanting to control people, or having a lust for power or riches. All Musk’s actions to date are the opposite. Fighting to keep OpenAI free, Grok, making Starlink free in disaster areas, removing censorship from X, getting rid of government departments, exposing barn door sized deficiencies in SS and Treasury procedures; HOW were these never addressed before? The incompetency and corruption is unbelievable.
I just can’t see how all this stuff is remotely comparable to the rise of Hitler or Stalin. Mump did not seize power, as Hedges suggests, they were elected in fair and free elections. The only thing that Trusk are doing to combat the opposition is to cut off their illegal funding. The opposition can still freely post on X and Truth Social, as well as their own echo chamber Bluesky. Free speech is much freer than it was under the deep state (and Nazi Germany and the USSR, ever). Hedges statement that “Compromise, limited power, checks and balances and accountability are slated to be abolished” is simply bullshit. The opposite is happening – not slated to happen, but done and dusted. Every Treasury payment now has to have its accountability code. Checks and balances will soon be in place to make sure that SS numbers are updated with date of death. He also whinges that “This order removed employment protections from career government bureaucrats.” What’s the issue? Why should they have employment protection when their incompetence and corruption has become crystal clear?
ALL Mumps’ actions to date indicate the opposite to what Hedges says. And Trump’s insistence that the war in Ukraine will end could only be disparaged by psychopaths. Of course the Europeans and that revolting little grot have been left out of the negotiations – they’ve insisted from the start that they will never negotiate with Putin; why would you invite them to the table?
Captain Hook @ 18:26
Yeah a lot of the silver miners are barely making it. If recent trends continue they will be in better shape soon! The riggers should have allowed the silver miners a better margin and they’d have more supply.
I’m looking forward to the coming fracas. I hear the LBMA deliveries now take 8 weeks. Sound rather defaultish to me!
Cheers
ipso facto @ 18:03
Silver is not allowed to go too far away from the cost of production (currently calculated at ~$26 – probably higher) … just enough to keep producers in business (and making their debt payments), but not too expensive for the military / industrial complex.
Guess SSR needs silver a lot higher prices … no? A lot of companies do with all-in costs exploding higher. Prices are actually stupid low.
Expect a move towards $4o very soon. – possibly higher well into the $40’s.
Don’t know how long it will stay there because rising commodities should crash stocks into the summer/fall – draining liquidity – not to mention the conniption bullion banks / shorts will be having (and dealing with).
Probably come back down and test the breakout at $33 – 35 into summer / fall.
Cheers
Looks like Biden is not getting those …
… presidential subsidized meds anymore.
Funny stuff
No Bueno … you’d think with such high metals prices?

Right the people who instigated this didn’t care about the people. They just wanted their assets.
I copied this from somewhere on this site. Biden’s in it. Fractional land deals lol after what they did to them it is kinda funny. Resources already sold.
SNG
Agree ?
And they can play that game for a long time until the buying pressure is significantly higher. We just haven’t hit that point yet and so many people have been flushed out forever over the years.
When the banks and hedge funds finally decide to play, we’ll see how well they can control them or whether they flip to buy mode.
Almost like they use the shares to quell any excitement in the metals.
Anyhoo, I think we get a make up day tomorrow, maybe even with the metals flat or down a little.
Eventually, the shares will have their day, but probably not until we see higher silver prices. JMHO.
Buygold @ 14:08…About volume. I think volume is no longer and indication of interest from investors.
Several things have happened to disqualify volume as having meaning, but here are a couple of them.
If two supercomputers want to control the price of something, all they have to do is sell to each other, or one buy the shares or commodity , and the other short the same shares or commodity, thus negating the other super computer’s buy but creating two trades every time that transaction is made. They can do this continuously, making huge volume while the shares or commodity go nowhere.
There was risk in doing this, called naked shorting if they did not possess the shares they were shorting, but IMO that was solved by the recent events happening with the on-line brokers offering “no commission trades”. My speculation is that the shares or commodity in the possession of the on-line brokers have been loaned or leased or rented to the owners of the supercomputers so they can claim to own them so they can make these buy and short trades legally.
Also, in margin accounts, if you are not using your margin, your on-line broker can lease that available margin to the owners of the super computers (say BlackRock and Vanguard and StateStreet) to cover the buy/short trades being made.
Difficult to explain but IMO that is what has evolved these last two decades and why volume is no longer and indicator of interest, and why the markets no longer make sense. All FWIW from Silverngold, but DYODD!

I would put them all stark bollock naked, in the main square of Kyiv and let the Ukrainians do as they see fit.
