Yes Scotty, the SCOTUS did rule against some tariffs. Stop pretending otherwise.

Great, Scotty, so 2026 revenue from tariffs overall will remain unchanged at five eighths of 20% of bugger all.

Unhinged.

conditions:

demand:   A)  industrial usage continues to grow.  in most applications there is no suitable substitute.  B) safe haven appeal increases as we progress into “interesting times”

and seemingly incurable inflationary trends. (inflation rises and falls, but DOES NOT stop.)

supply:  A) mining is slowly responding to rising prices, but long start-up times and the fact that most silver supply is a byproduct of other mining activities put the emphasis

on “slowly.”  (years and decades rather than weeks and months.)   B) recycling remains difficult due to the wide dispersion of small quantities of silver per unit of product.

above ground inventory:  A) comex warehouses, the london and shanghai exchanges have levels of deliverable metal on hand at historic lows, and shrinking. B) private retail

hoards (stackers, large and small) – no reliable information, but it seems likely most of this is in “strong hands.”  C) junk and scrap (90% coins, sterling tableware, etc) again, no

reliable information, but this is finite, and considerably depleted during past price spikes.

paper silver:  A) futures markets – last i heard comex had sold forward (shorted) four ounces for each deliverable ounce on hand.  other futures exchanges?  probably similar.

B) banks, etf’s – whatever – holding “silver” accounts for clients?  anybody’s guess, there are all kinds of fractional reserve ponzis out there.

outlook:  stormy weather!

lots of volatility (up AND down), becoming ever more frantic as march deliveries get closer and closer.  (tick…   tock…   ).    first notice day, when  we find out how many are standing

for delivery in march, will be worth watching.

continuing: if, somehow, the comex operators patch something together and avoid an outright default in march, we get to watch this movie again, except with even less inventory the

next delivery month…

…lather,   …rinse,   …repeat  –  until something breaks.  are your seatbelts fastened and your tray tables in the upright position?

76 degrees and cloudy at beautiful treefrog manor.

Update from Scott Bessent, US Secretary of the Treasury.
(Posted by EricLDaugh on X. Videoclip of Bessent in his post).

“Let’s be clear about what today’s ruling WAS and what it WASN’T.

Despite the misplaced GLOATING from Democrats, ill-informed media outlets, and the very people who gutted our industrial base, the Court did not rule against President Trump’s tariffs.”

“Six justices simply ruled that IEEPA authorities cannot be used to raise even $1 of revenue.”

“This administration will invoke alternative legal authorities to replace the IEEPA tariffs.”

“We will be leveraging Section 232 and Section 301 tariff authorities that have been validated through thousands of legal challenges.”

“Treasury’s estimates show that the use of Section 122 authority, combined with potentially enhanced Section 232 and Section 301 tariffs, will result in virtually unchanged tariff revenue in 2026.”

The go signal has been out as some kinda signal.That can be made up but. in  casino stealing or inside plants it’s a go signal the plant has the best hand. Keep your cards covered from cameras.

I’ll check it out!

This is what they’ve been up to all along.

They did everything but strike the match.

Just your comment about planes dropping something other than bombs …. but the movie is a classic Australian comedy. About Constitutional law.

I asked Siloverngold to stop posting such utter crap and he has…….I also said that under my government I have to be careful what Is posted…….consequently I have deleted this post.

We are here to discuss all matters PM, please try and stay on subject.

UBS: Silver deficits for 2026 will be ~300 m oz.

– It would be the 6th consecutive year of a silver deficit
– That would be ~2.5x the 2025 deficit
– Or roughly ~40% of global mine production

The physical market remains extremely tight.

American journalist says she’s figured out why Governor Greg Abbott has allowed a Muslim takeover in Texas

Abbott’s top donor is from Pakistan, he’s donated:

– 2019–2020 election cycle: $1,617,500
– 2020 election: $5,599,500
– 2024 election: $6,120,268
– Current election cycle $2,897,086 (already the top donor in the current cycle)

His top donor is Syed Javaid Anwar and he is from Pakistan

I confess I’m a bit lost on the context? Maybe I should read the book … 🙂

Wake up way too early.

Remember seeing the Epstein dentist chair. This is getting sicker and sicker. Was used to remove children’s teeth so they wouldn’t bite.

Including teacher union dues. Randi Winegarten Gets paid 600k to destroy this country. Since we’re on the subject.

I feel your pain. I seen the pain of the elders, what were they fighting for? Good thing is lessons are not only taught in a box.

We’re all tired of the bull…  No accountability. You know if demos get back in power there gonna get even on their typical BS while repubs have actual evidence people need to be arrested and Omar can be deported.

Pay attention to the upcoming state of the union speech. We need answers.

Yes we have obvious globalist narratives in Supreme Court and Republican constitutional  backstabbers. Roberts did it again, same thing he did with Obama care, called it a tax.  He used the same narrative with Trump’s tarriffs.

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.

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 – 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.

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.

“He say plane fly overhead, drop {property} value. I don’t care. In Beirut, plane fly over, drop bomb. I like these planes.”

Farouk, The Castle, 1997.

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.

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

Based on reports from late January 2026, the price of spot silver has already touched and exceeded $100 per ounce, with some forecasts predicting an average price approaching or exceeding

$120 per ounce in 2026. 

MarketWatch +1

Here are the key details regarding this price surge:

• 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
