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
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.
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
so many distractions! My oldest is jamming, my youngest flailing in the wind. Really my youngest is Gen alpha. Smart phone kids
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.”

Chuckle … gaffaw … wheeze … spit
Still more sellers than buyers here
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?
800 HUI gone….
$4600 gone…
$89 on deck?
This is better than the Dot Com days.
multiple choice question:
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
au/ag ratio
52.47
…the beat goes on.
Well well well …
… 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

“I have an anti spam ad on the top of the page”
Here at the Forum?! I don’t have that.
$90
Do we hit $90 silver today/tonight and then reverse back down?
Might be usual scum tactics. Shanghai PM fix was $93.93
CPI
M/M ex food & energy was a little soft 0.2% vs. estimates of 0.3%
Everything else was in-line. Maybe they were expecting hotter inflation? The markets love it. 10 yr. fell back to 4.17%
Captain – the initial AG video’s may have been set-up by good guys. After that, I suspect there were some copycat video’s that stole the Asian guy AI figure that were put out to muddy the waters. JMHO.
Hi everyone…..seems the site maybe hacked
I have an anti spam ad on the top of the page….I am contacting the hosts. to get is checked….

Breaking: Costco is now limiting Silver 1oz bars to ONE per customer.
When retail giants start rationing silver… that’s not ‘normal market behavior.’ 👀
Don’t like a lot of this AI propaganda …
…. but I like this one …. can’t find any lies or flaws …
Mornin all
Market talk
Trump about to go to Davand – in their cornflakes. 46 minutes in. He heard even Shanghai is failure to deliver.
