And you want to get the lead out because the oligarchs are moving into the cities with quasi-centralization/communism as well.

News to be at 11 am Eastern time US according to this.

Reports say he is now under US ‘protection’….ie hopefully hanging upside down ……

On silver

Yes I know what you mean. But at the same time if you told them prior to the this is ” probably lol’ it breakout they wouldn’t believe you or would t have the understanding or patience on why you hold it because it doesn’t pay dividends and is volatile. If they do buy it they will also need to learn a eventual exit strategy and not get caught up with the noise and keep buying at the top instead of holding on the way up buying dips and selling when the signs if not charts of exiting are near. Taxi man  giving you advice, late entries it’s going higher yada yada. Maybe not all, that permanent hold insurance of barter.

Reason, you might not be here, or have enough to support or feed them too when tshtf when they, including friends  were able of preparing themselves. Did you see it in 2008, 2020 or a economic or weather event? But particularly trying to protect the young with children who are just as clueless as we may have been at their age. I was having a baby im Jan 1980 set a record by delivering a breach baby by myself in a hospital with no OB doctor in the building that was one of the best hospitals  at the time and luckily I delivered her with the ER doctor running in  before the cord got wrapped around her neck as they can spin around trying to get out. That’s when they tried starting medical  groups hiring foreign help. I had no idea gold was hitting all time highs or why until after the fact I learned my gold nurses pin and silver serving sets was suddenly worth a lot more money.  Excuse typos

A lot of what the AG said is true. But if you are seeking to misdirect, then you’d include a few porkies in a deluge of facts and many people would run with it. Anybody looking for the next Bitcoin will lap it all up with silver being the next great investment. I suspect that’s less likely to happen here where we all have decades of listening and filtering. Also he’s very fluent, and bullish, but we don’t get target prices. He clearly projects higher prices by his presentation without actually making a prediction. At the end of the day the metals will do their thing. I think that only the Chinese govt is able to influence pricing through control of supply (into or from the market); obviously any govt can push the price up with aggressive buying.

• Russia: China has significantly increased its purchases of Russian gold and silver, with sales hitting $1 billion recently, according to Mining.com.
• South America: Chinese entities are engaging directly with South American producers, showing a strategic shift to secure physical supplies.
• Global Market: Through large trading firms and manufacturers, China is competing in the open market, even offering above-market prices for immediate supply, reports CNBC. 

• Clean Energy Demand: Silver is essential for solar panels (around 20g per panel) and electric vehicles (25-50g per EV), and China aims to control this critical metal for its green transition, notes Morningstar.
• Strategic Control: By controlling silver supply, China can influence global manufacturing and defense supply chains, making it a strategic asset, says Trading Economics. 

• Starting January 1, 2025, China implemented tighter controls on silver exports, effectively hoarding the metal and reducing global availability, reminiscent of its strategy with rare earths, according to reports from CNBC, Morningstar and Trading Economics. 

The current candle is showing selling pressure at higher numbers but higher buying pressure just below that. It could mean a couple of things. Hopefully just consolidation of pause and some profit taking after a run up. Hopefully

New kids on the block don’t get invited to secret meetings, nor do they get stuff leaked to them.

But it seems way too slick to be a government programme.

I also find it very unlikely that it’s $130 an ounce in Japan, especially when it’s back to $75 in Shanghai.

Trust

Retail copper is way over priced considering price of copper per pound. I have picked up sales along the way here and there but not marked up but still overpriced  thinking who knows if someday to grandchildren copper will be the new silver. With the end of new pennies maybe  new breed of 1 ounce copper coins might emerge to collectors.   A lot of pennies are worth more than a penny. Some by dollars to the million dollar pennies that are still out there.

That’s WHY men of any  significance or what is considered to be attractive to women don’t need to be too cute.

Best comment I heard about Newscum,…..is if he spent as much time on politics, as he does looking in the mirror, he might be usefull.

Briefly, re contracts isn’t it not right to let people sell what they don’t have, and buy contracts that they will not buy, because the “outsiders” “voting” the  price for the actual consumers and actual producers.

Ans:

That’s a policy choice, not a technical necessity.

Futures markets allow hedging and price discovery, but they also allow speculation by non-producers and non-consumers, which can influence prices. Supporters say this adds liquidity and smoother pricing; critics argue it lets “paper traders” outvote real supply and demand.

So yes — it’s fair to say futures prices can be driven by participants who will never deliver or take delivery, and whether that’s “right” depends on how you weigh liquidity versus distortion.

Comment: So who drove Silver so high? The leveraged gamblers buying, or “voting” for higher prices?

I wonder which of these oil rich countries the Gov of Calif wanna be President and wreck the rest of America next, countries he’s importing from over the oil rich American companies that were already there before he was even  hatched that are giving him the middle finger and shutting down their gas lines. Maybe Calif will have to go back to horse and buggies and bicycles.

One pound of 95% Pure Copper pennies will cost you $1.45 a pound. Or 245 pennies. You can get Copper Rounds at $2 each per ounce, or two times 16oz/lb times two comes out to $32 a pound. Versus $1.45 a pound. Naturally you would need a smelter to melt the pennies down into small bars.

Part:

The value of a 1 oz copper round today generally ranges from $2 to $5, depending on the dealer, design, and quantity purchased, with common rounds around $2-$3 and more intricate or premium ones priced higher, reflecting the fluctuating industrial demand for copper and minting costs. While the raw copper price influences it, expect to pay a premium over the spot price for these artful bullion pieces

I blinked and missed the 5 cent bull mkt.

That is just because of the light trade with many still on holiday.

China is still closed until next week as well and silver is only $75 (not much premium).

So don’t be surprised with some selling next week.

Those coming back from holidays will see a windfall with taxes deferred until next year.

That said … I don’t see any serious weakness in either the broads or PMs until further into the year (second quarter?) … maybe the broads top at options expiry here in January like 2000 (the Dow) at the earliest.

For what that is worth.

Happy New Year All
