SLV – 2nd all-time highest volume day ever

Posted by Buygold @ 16:37 on January 13, 2026  

Don’t know what that means but everything feels a little heavy here to me. Sort of running out of upside momentum.

SLV has a gap down in the $73-$74 area that could get filled, which could bring us back to $82-$83. I don’t know if it will, but that’s my T/A for the day.

Maddog – yeah, bonkers is a better explanation. They continue to stink up the joint for the most part. We have earnings coming out in a couple of weeks I think, and we also have a Fed meeting around the same time. Hopefully that will be a catalyst for these things to really get going. Seems like the metals would have to fall quite a bit for the shares to be fairly valued at this point. 800 HUI is a nice fat round number that they’ll probably defend.

Hopefully, the boys will work on pushing it up tonight. They are good at that recently

There’s a good chance that Bitcoin

is the passport to anywhere. Easy to move wealth around the world. For both the common folk and the elite. But if you can’t see it, the sword cuts in both directions. It is much easier to move millions to and fro- on some dumb jump drive. Seems too easy compared to moving phiz. Need to go in a hurry? BTC makes it easy. But If there's a 50% haircut coming and we can buy it in the upper 50's I'd feel much better. It seems like the perfect tool for criminals to jump into and get caught.

Apparently Venezuela might have 600,000 BTC.

What if the passwords have been lost? A friend died without anyone knowing the combo for his safe. Actually, we didn’t even know there was a safe to begin with, but we knew there was some precious somewhere. At least when we found it we could drill it out. Taking a jackhammer to a wallet probably doesn’t work as well. You can see the issue – is there any BTC, how much should there be, where is the BTC, and who has the key. BTC transcends borders; useful for a dictator who might need to flee (even if he leaves it too late).

Hi All seems we all clear…no sign of a Hack

Re shares especially Ag ones….wierd is not the right word, far too mild….the action is plum bonkers…..

Japan yields following silver.

Posted by ferrett @ 13:01 on January 13, 2026  

Up 50% since August on the 10s – but the Yen is down 10% since then. Carry trade alive and well.

Weird action in the shares

Posted by Buygold @ 12:44 on January 13, 2026  

All over the map. Some of the large cap golds are doing OK, while some of the silvers are scraping the bottom and barely up. AG and HL barely moving with silver up $3? They had great days yesterday but today are acting like silver is going to rollover.

Everything sold off with the SM a couple of hours ago, then the gold’s bounced back with the QQQ’s, but not some of the small caps and silvers.

Last week we had solid days Mon. and Tues. then got crushed Wednesday. They going to pull that again this week?

Our Gen alpha grandkids don’t have devices.

Posted by ferrett @ 12:43 on January 13, 2026  

Their Gen Z parents (along with some others) are trying to persuade the school not to require everyone to have tablets in grade 2. Anticipating failure they already have the lock box for the tablets for when they get home. No mobile phone until 14. Or maybe 16. We weren’t so strict, and one of the best moments was when the boys had given up CoD, Halo, Fortnite etc and only played online chess and FIFA.

If kids can’t read by the time they’re six or seven, it’s the parents fault (desperately hoping eegk can read!).

Yea get well Maddog

Get back to the basics- and take care of yourself.

I have gen Z kids and it’s super tough

These are college students! Soon we will be a Dumbocracy.

Gen Z students are struggling to read and comprehend a sentence, one Pepperdine University professor recently said.

“It’s not even an inability to critically think,” Humanities Professor Jessica Hooten Wilson told Fortune. “It’s an inability to read sentences.”

“I feel like I am tap dancing and having to read things aloud because there’s no way that anyone read it the night before,” the professor said.

Wilson also said that even when she reads passages in class with the students, “there’s so much they can’t process about the very words that are on the page.”

Still more sellers than buyers here

Posted by Buygold @ 9:55 on January 13, 2026  

it looks like they’ve recently taken in some 100 oz. bars as well. They are paying under spot for everything so they must have a fair amount of inventory.

Weird to me. Wondering when the craziness is going to hit the smaller dealers?

multiple choice question:

Posted by treefrog @ 9:47 on January 13, 2026  

silver prices are rising.  by definition, that means there are more buyers than sellers.  who are the buyers?

a) retail hoarders/speculators (that’s us!)

b) industrial users

c) shorts trying to exit

d) sovereign wealth funds

e) other

f) all of the above

…the beat goes on.

Well well well …

Posted by Captain Hook @ 9:30 on January 13, 2026  

… looks like the metals are firm going into the stocks opening … but just be careful … maybe you should be quick to sell … as this is a proven strategy for some 50 years now … with the tamping down and all …don’t worry … you will be able to buy back in at lower prices soon.

It’s a no brainer … chuckle … snort
