I guess the Captain would know, but I’m not sure if that will save them from a physical issue.

Funny, they hit the sell button right out of the gates in the first minute of trading.  Everything is sold across the board – metals, shares just randomly dumped.

We still haven’t gotten to the point where we see “normal market action” on a day-to-day basis. It seems like more days than not, they dump at the open and then dump again at the close. They are working hard now to reverse silver. Effing demons.

I  agree staying close to home with miners is probably a good idea right now.

Yep they don’t belong here and I keep hearing how the majority are on the dole burdening tax payers and commiting  crimes. They use religion as a source of power and weapon by drawing others like them together to polarize our communities and since their ideations of inequality is a threat and illegal  and aggressive actions like blocking streets or threatening citizens is a crime it could be and should be considered ORGANIZED CRIME.. Keeping in mind that not every individual within a ethnic or religious group thinks and acts the same but the ones that do should be deported.

Besides the MMs taking out stops below before a move up. You’ll see that more frequently at the lows.  I wonder if they could manipulate short covering with a quick drop. I’ve seen long tails that dropped all the way down then disappear after awhile and have no idea what they were doing or a malfunction..

What we do have to watch out for is they can mess you up even if your on the right side like reverse splits of ETFs, delisting, or what a company like  Ascot suddenly did and steal all the investors shares.

“Deport them” Sounds good to me! You can’t let this kind of thing get started. It’s already happening here and there in the US.

I’ve been trying to reduce my exposure to Mexico. Maybe just paranoid but there is lots of good mining cos in the US and Canada to invest in.

Oh wow Ascot?.can you get out.

That Sharia and blocking streets  harassment should be a good enough reason to deport and accuse them of cultural  racism as well. They come to a country with a Christian and white culture and life style that whites put forth and put it in our constitution. All men and women and children in this country are created equal with equal rights. Shaira does not treat women or children equal. They are openly telling us they cannot abide by our laws or culture and expect everything to revolve around them and comply with their culture. They are openly admitting they don’t belong here and refuse to abide by our laws.

Remember back years ago when there was speculation that the scum would send out smoke signals via charts that showed plunges in the metals that didn’t manifest at the time, but would show up in the price of the metal sometimes days later?
Anyhoo the UUP quote for the dollar just reflected a 2.3% plunge. Not a real quote because UUP is actually up 6 ticks.

We’ve seen a lot of stuff in the last 25 years. A lot of funny business too. 😳

Things appear to be going our way these days though , thankfully.

I’ll bet we’ll see more of this gearing up mining and I saw somewhere that China was looking at Mexico hopefully not to try to buy their mines but to refill supply after London.. It wont be as easy like growing more crops and we dont need to be speculative about mines future potential meeting demands for awhile. Barrick is going to have a new IPO next yr too.

“No one in the Middle East actually blocks intersections to pray in the streets and yell Allahu Akbar. They do it in your countries is because they’re trying to assert their religious dominance over you and claim your country and turn it into Sharia law.”

I wondered if silver could slow just before 70 but I guess the China who supplies 13 percent shutting down exports warning finally sunk in. If current demand is outpacing supply and future demands with manufacturing it’s not that much of a over reaction on fears of shortages and countries needing to secure what they will need not just for this year but next.

A shift in federal administrative policy regarding environmental and water permitting has reactivated a mining investment pipeline valued at over US$11 billion. The clearing of regulatory backlogs is poised to trigger a wave of capital deployment across major mining hubs, with Zacatecas, Sonora, Chihuahua, and Durango serving as the primary beneficiaries.

Fernando Aboitiz, Head of the Extractive Activities Coordination Unit, Ministry of Economy (SE), confirmed that the Claudia Sheinbaum administration has tackled the permitting bottleneck that defined previous years. Aboitiz told El Financiero that the government inherited 176 stalled projects at the start of the term. Through an accelerated review process, officials have resolved 110 of these cases, leaving only 66 pending. The unit expects to normalize administrative operations by mid-2026.

Your probably one of the few that persevered this long that will still be young enough to enjoy it and maybe retire earlier. Just hope you don’t have to be treated for PTSD.

I’m.glad I continued to buy this month too no big 100 oz silver but another 20 oz no, mas online with taxes now in gold.  Think my last yr for silver gifts less one ounce if available.  If a crash does come I think like 08 the phyz will hold out better than stocks although with demand metal stocks won’t stay down but the phyz might be harder to get because it will be bought up. Most women know if you wait for sales the items you want might get sold out so if there’s something you really want you don’t wait   I don’t know why I never paid too much attention to those 5 oz coins other than attention towards eagles and collectables but they’re so cool. I can sew water proof covers for them and make coasters out of them and hide them on plain sight.

“No One” knew this was coming

Best of the season to all my friends at the Oasis

21 days left before buyers and manufacturers will have even a harder time buying silver. They’re shutting down their exports. No more bailing out shortages. They need to increase their own supply for demand. Hope this link works.

Despite a slightly higher dollar and a 10 yr that is up 3 bips to 4.17%. Not supposed to happen after a Fed cut. The last 3 cuts have had virtually no effect on rates. Too much debt floating around.

SM mixed, Bitcoin and oil drifting down a bit – not much.

PM shares look good this morning, with many up 2+%. NEM breaking above $100 for the first time ever. Silver back above $64.

Hopefully this is the start of the year end melt-up in our tiny sector.

Looking good for now. We’ll see what the Crimex has in store for us today.

Can’t argue with that.

I donated to Larry Klayman but they need to get their operating cost down so more can go to the lawyers.

But how much more betterer would Europe have done with cheap Russian gas on tap? Cutting off your nose to spite your face.

They seem to be doing fine but how would Russia have done without the sanctions?
