I thought he would have learnt from Trump 45. But it doesn’t look like it. Tulsi is having a hard time. The neocons/Zionists have got him to bomb Iran once, and are clearly pushing him to do so again. Best hope the Iranian hypersonics aren’t as good as the Russians’. Yes, our war theatre is different – huge coastline to defend. And China has more unemployed single men of military age than our whole population, who have had their guns removed. So I definitely want a strong, rational US president (I gave up on old Blighty being of any use decades ago), and I’d hoped Trump was the one.
Hey you be nice Ferrett
about what you say about America because you’re going to need help before we do. Your potential war theater is more complex than ours. Casey is a moron too. I voted for Trump b/c I wanted to cause trouble, not get bent by a bunch of leftist commies
Goldie, Bob
Goldie – I thought that was interesting that Trump said about foreign influence on the Supreme Court. When asked about evidence to back it up he said it would be coming very soon. Course he said we’d see arrests very soon too. No doubt Robert’s is corrupt. Barrett and Gorsuch, I don’t know. No doubt all the Democrat judges are. I know Robert’s has ties to Epstein – they have photos.
Bob – agree on Casey. He’s a legend in his own mind.
ferret – Doug Casey
Casey is an arrogant, stuffed shirt, a charlatan. Used to read him a couple of decades ago, can’t recall when I ceased.
Wish i could find one of his older videos where he pontifically postulated some thing and he missed by a mile. I recall thinking that he cost his clients a TON of money with that call.

aufever 19:27, don’t hold your breath for the SOU speech.
Nothing’s happened to the covid conspirators. Nothing’s happened to the Epstein clients. Ilhan Omar is still a US citizen. The President fraudulently claimed that tariffs would be $2tn a year and eliminate income tax and pay down the national debt. Expect heaps of deflections to democrat bashing, California, wage rises, lower petrol prices, fifteen wars ended, illegals deported, etc. All about winning the mid-terms, and child sex trafficking, crooked covid characters and traitors are just not on the radar of most people. Yet.

One thing I learned about investing in PMs is that it got me more involved or say reactive in a not healthy way in politics than Id like to be. I consider myself to be unlabeled politically until they have a constitutional patriot option but it’s easier for the demos because they yell Maga and run away or have a meltdown because their party is indefensible and use that as a excuse all the time. Yeah and they can just keep going
I have no clue what’s going on with the tarriffs, the rules they go by, or even who or what they’re for.
I at least can feel I shouldn’t have to as long as the ones in charge are capable and working in the best interest of our country and know what they’re doing. With Trump in office we don’t have to worry about it less we own commodities.
I do agree there are a few in the S Court with a “attitude” and less than honest attitude that don’t have the country’s best interest in mind.
Hi Richard
The thing with this AI perhaps maybe hopefully with something’s it’s not biased programed but data related.
I asked the question when will silver be a average of 120 dollars. We do know the sensitivity of changes can quickly in futures change from one day to the next where charts can be more reliable but the farther out the unknowns make it harder by the day.
+5
$120 per ounce in 2026.
- Recent Performance: As of late January 2026, silver broke the $100 per ounce barrier and briefly surged towards $120, driven by significant geopolitical tensions and high demand.
- Expert Predictions: Market analysts, including those at Citigroup, have projected that silver could reach $150 in 2026, fueled by strong industrial demand and a weakening U.S. dollar.
- Volatility Warning: Experts warn that as silver approaches higher price points, it is likely to experience intense volatility, with daily swings of 10% or more possible.
- Drivers: The rapid rise in silver is attributed to a combination of factors, including a 5th consecutive year of supply deficits, massive industrial demand for AI and solar energy, and investors seeking safe-haven assets.

Trump said he can impose most of the tariffs using laws other than the IEEPA.
And he accused the justices who struck them down as having foreign influences. Didn’t use the word but implied they are traitors.
I hope the State of the Union on Tuesday has real substance, on corruption and fraud for example, and is not just another campaign speech.
Justice Kavanaugh, who seemed a little goofy in his nomination hearings, has turned out to be excellent
Doug Casey’s piece.
I’d read parts of it before, and his suggestion for building robust young men strikes me as being elitist and rather shallow. Organising all those activities for them, and they need to be organised for them as just working through the admin takes longer than the time allocated for some of the tasks, isn’t teaching them much; except that someone will organise everything for you. If you really want to learn to cook in Italy, definitely go ahead! Apply for a working visa: yourself. Learn the language. Apply for jobs in Italian restaurants: yourself. Find accomodation: yourself. Want to sail around Cape Horn? See a psychiatrist. If they clear you, buy a boat. Learn to sail, to navigate, to run a crew: just going as a passenger in a boat won’t teach you much. Just being able to say “I’ve rounded the Horn” doesn’t mean much. You need to spend a minimum of a year on a farm to be able to see and understand the cycles. But in that year, depending on the type of farm, you can learn to operate heavy machinery, weld, post, slaughter, dress, curse, shoot, plant, harvest, milk, shear, buy, sell, repair anything, work as a team, become responsible, appreciate just how damn hard it can be to produce food and very importantly just how enthusiastically government makes everything so damn difficult. In fact, a year on a farm should be compulsory for every 18 y/o. And if you fail the year, it’s two. After ten years, you will never have a left leaning government again.
Did striking down Trump tarriffs have a opposite effect on gold and silver or is it the possible costs that could go with it
Did The Supreme Court Ruling Striking Down Tariffs Make Metals Prices Rise?
Some analysts have noted that striking down Trump’s tariffs would appear to make gold and silver prices decrease, because the tariffs and the uncertainty they caused were a key factor that made metals prices spike in 2025, but uncertainty over the fallout of the court decision is helping metals prices rise. “It’s hard to see the president collecting his toys and going home; he will try to re-establish tariffs using other statutes which will promote volatility,” metals trader and market commentator Tai Wong told Reuters. Bart Melek, global head of commodity strategy at TD Securities, told Bloomberg the ruling suggests the government may have to refund more than $175 billion to importers, which would “stress the budget.” This may increase “speculation that monetary tools may need to be used to fund the government,” suggesting future interest rate cuts could drive up metals prices.
Gold and silver have had a highly volatile few weeks after reaching record highs of more than $5,600 and $120, respectively, in late January. Their historic rally was fueled by geopolitical tensions, including with Venezuela and Iran, Trump’s tariffs and federal interest rate cuts, though prices crashed after Trump named Kevin Warsh, seen as less likely than other presumed Fed candidates to slash interest rates, as his pick for Federal Reserve chair at the end of January. Since then, silver and gold prices have swung back and forth, including a 10% crash in silver’s price last week. Metals Daily CEO Ross Norman blamed the volatility on the metals market feeling “more like a casino than a marketplace,” while analysts at Saxo Bank have projected “silver is likely to continue trading violently in both directions.”

“This turned out to be a strong day. Who would have thunk it?”
Yes a very strong day! Some of the silver midgets were up 10-14%. We’ve passed through the Mountains of Mordor. Woo Hoo!
AAGAF +10.5%
SSVFF +14.8%
SVRSF +22.4%
Maybe options related but
Heavy volume in the silvers I watch SVM, AG, HL.
Not the same among the gold stocks.
If we start to see these silver shares run into month end then maybe there’s something to the delivery issues on Crimex.
Ipso – I think we’re blessed to live in these times
At least I feel blessed to see some of the things we are seeing. Some of the things, maybe not so much too.
This turned out to be a strong day. Who would have thunk it?

The Adjusted Value Of Gold From 1980
I remember Gold hit $800/oz. A house back then was $40,000. Divided by $800 gold comes out to 50 ounces of gold to buy a house.
These days in my area houses are $700,000 (plus) divided by the old 50 ounces of gold puts gold at $14,000.
Today houses at $700,000 divided by gold at $4,387 comes out to 159 ounces of gold to buy a house today.
Also back around 1980 silver at $50/oz made a $1000 face value bag of junk silver (715 oz) at $35,750 so a silver bag could buy a house.
Today with houses at $700,000 here a $1000 face value bag of junk silver (715 oz) a bag of silver would have to be $700,000 or silver at $979/oz.
So, unless houses start dropping, the AU AG peaks should be $14,000/oz gold and$979/oz Silver. I also suspect after Gold gets back above $4400 we will never see $4400 again.

Yes that would be the best thing for the American citizens. I’m a Ron Paul fan.
Here’s a few Blasts from the Past. Check out the dates of the last 4 posts. If you enter a question $120 Silver? in “SEARCH” on the right, you get past posts. Where did they stop Silver? Coincidence?SNG BTW, Where’s Richard 640?
Mr Copper….I have it on good authority (my own) that gold is going to $3666-$3672…while Silver goes to $118-$120 FWIW!
But with BlackRock now backing up the FED with worthless ETF’s, if you can’t hold your Silver and Gold in your hand…IMO you will in time be financially dead. FWIW!
Who would be stupid enough to buy gold and silver at these bargain prices when shortly you will be able to get it for, maybe, $20,000 and $120 or maybe not at all.
Remember that there are no markets anymore. There is only BlackRock and Aladdin, Vanguard, and StateStreet, and they control more than 50% of all ETF’s… and even the US Federal Reserve is using these Derivatives known as ETF’s, which are worthless empty bags of promises with zero assets, to prop up the worthless US Dollar.
All IMHO but better get these Gold and Silver PHYZ bargains while you can. IMO there are no fortunes to be made in these rigged market casino’s anymore…. except by the casino’s themselves FWIW!
Silverngold–I wanted to believe…r u saying $120 silver?
what’s the roadmap? Time frame in your best estimation–and that was a great chart!
Richard640 @ 15:59 “gold and silver as an asset class are dead”? I have a different opinion about them… and HUI!
Let’s start with HUI. IMO HUI will bottom this year at 166.67 and few will still be in this sector….but when that bottom is reached it will EXPLODE to HUI 1,000. How do I know? 166.67 X 6 = 1000. My HUI chart has been revealing this outcome for many years, and IMO we are dealing with the devil….Satan… in these End Times or Last Days!!
How about silver??? IMO silver is just waiting for the rest to come together and it will be ~$18 at its bottom. Then use the same method. $18 X 6.667 = $120 per ounce!
Again what my charts have shown for years……
Gold though will be more controlled IMO but it will not go lower than $1673.30 and it will top at ~$3672…..but WTHDIK??
Oh, and here’s a very interesting USA Watchdog from Greg Hunter for today. If you only want the gold and silver info just watch the last 15 minutes….but you’ll miss lotsa good stuff about all the current topics and concerns if you do that. Greg is the best IMO!!!
All The Best from Silverngold!

Far better.

Id like to have of these.
The ping sounds of different metals when testing silver coins for silver plated fakes. About a minute.

LOL Don’t make it seize up and catch on fire! 🙂
Looks like they’re taking a run at the SM
thusly, taking a run at GLD, SLV and the miners. Also giving a boost to the dollar.
All makes sense to me.
