MTG just went absolutely nuclear on Trump’s war in Iran.

“We’re in another fucking war, and American troops are being killed.”

“We need to have a serious conversation about what the fuck is happening to this country.”

“72% of Americans can’t afford health insurance.”

“58% of Americans can’t afford car insurance.”

“67% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.”

“31% of Americans can’t afford their back taxes.”

“50% of Americans are in credit card debt.”

“We are nearly $40 trillion in debt.”

“Most Americans are completely against this war.”

“Make America Great Again was supposed to be America first, not Israel first.”

“And our President is saying that the Iranian people are all of a sudden going to topple their regime.”

“Well, I don’t think the Iranian people are going to be toppling their regime when they’re getting blown apart by the US and Israel in an unprovoked attack.”

“I am furious.”

“We have seen enough of our American troops dead and murdered for foreign countries.”

“Now, we have four more dead … for Israel.”

“Trump already said … today that he doesn’t care about the polling.”

“He doesn’t care about what the American people think.”

“And he may put troops on the ground.”

“The man that I supported … denounced what happened in Iraq, said no more foreign wars, no more regime change.”

“JD Vance promised it.”

“Tulsi Gabbard promised it.”

says somebody with incredibly deep pockets is buying December gold calls at $15,000 and $20,000 strike prices, on an industrial scale.
That’s a 4x bet from here. In a single year.
The last time he saw outlier call volume like this? Silver in the $80–$85 range. Every one of those calls ended up deep in the money.

likewise Iran is unable to respond. They are only attacking oil infrastructure or non-military targets in a scorched earth fashion. Undefended facilities to cause maximum disruption, where the missiles/drones could come from anywhere.

Such is the will of Allah.

{edit} yes the moon was magnificent in Australia. Spent a couple of hours with family and a bottle of Shiraz watching it come and go.

folks in the west should still be able to see it.

I suspect it will be the most significant of any in our lifetimes. In the past, it coincided with significant events in Israel. The 6-day war in 1967 for example. The expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492. This is the 3rd blood moon in the sequence. What’s interesting is that today is Purim – a Jewish holiday that signifies the Jewish deliverance from Persia in the time of Esther and Haman around 600 B.C. This follows a rare six planet alignment that took place 5 days ago on Feb. 28th. What makes this even more interesting is that these signs have not coincided since the time of Esther, over 2600 years ago, if I remember correctly.

Gen. 1:14 “God said, ‘Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years.”

I don’t know what is coming, but surely something big is coming. You can sense it in the air; you can see it in the actions and amount of stress in people; the feeling is so thick you could cut it with a knife. I’ve felt that in my gut for a while now.

I also find it fascinating that in some of the most significant events in history, Israel/Jews are right in the center of the event in one way or another. Think that’s a coincidence? I don’t.

Stay aware. Don’t let yourself be surprised. Keep looking up.

Was just listening to Tousi Tv……it seems they are blowing up everything to do with the state and all the infrastructure, last night they took out all the Parliament buildings in Tehran and the US is destroying Irans largest port……

It sounds like they will need to rebuild the entire place….

it’s beginning to  feel like a carnival ride.

This maybe engineered by Dems/Globalists …I have noticed they have smashed the SM O/N a number of times, ystdy was one…then the US comes in a buys it all back up…..

U can only sell the SM if u think this Iran war will fail, or yr desperate for Trump to fail….for if it works, u have peace in the ME a new country with 90 million, that needs bringing back up from the stone age, that has all the raw materials u need, it just needs infrastructure with 10 million expats many of whom are seriously wealthy , ready to come back and help out…..ie the business opportunities for the US are monstrous, particularly as the people just love the US for freeing them…..

A strong Dollar is to be expected, when the world sees just how useless and yellow the Europeans are….

This is the 24 hr S&P chart….notice how many spike lows it has and then closes way up .

How far do we fall and for how long….. or do we not fall far at all and trade sideways for a while albeit in a large range…that would be the most bullish.

The most bearish is we keep dropping…..either way the shorts will be happy…..for a while.

storm this morning.

Supposedly the largest private credit fund ( Blackstone) has been hit with record redemptions, and the Korean markets are in tatters.

And I guess the logical thing to do is to sell Gold and Silver, and buy the $US.

The world has gone mad!

Then again, when have pm’s ever been a flight to safety? Never.

The SM is getting hammered for 2%, so pm shares get crushed for 6%. It all makes total sense with gold down less than 1%, but still above $5200 and silver down another $5, but still at $85. Beat the life out of the shares because the SM is down.

Oil up another 5+% above $75 (also bad for miners).

Bitcoin coming to its senses down $2200 or 3%.

Sell your assets folks, buy USD’s because they’re so safe.

This will blow Trump’s highly touted economy to bits if oil keeps going and the SM falling. Nice work.

everything reversed in the last half hour. Must be taking out the war premium.

Shanghai buckled in the am fix dropping their silver price back $5 to $102 – no doubt they’ll buckle to the paper markets once again in the pm fix.

Nobody has any idea what the real price of silver should be.

This war is going to last for awhile IMHO. This is what Trump campaigned against for the last 10 years but just couldn’t resist Lindsay Graham and the neocons. I hope not, but hope stinks eternal.

edit: Yup, Shanghai dropped their am fix another $6 to $96. Well crap, maybe US paper price rules. Dollar, rates and oil soaring while everything else tanks – including Bitcoin.

Gold shipments through Dubai are set to stall for several days after airlines suspended flights amid U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran and Tehran’s response, according to three industry sources and Reuters.

Because gold is typically transported by air for security and insurance reasons, the cancellations are expected to sharply limit physical flows.

Reuters writes that Dubai is a key supplier to Switzerland, Hong Kong and India. Sources said the broader impact on global supply will depend on how long the disruption lasts.

into the close. Solid.

I guess now we’ll see what they do with silver. At least back to $90

I agree. The paper futures market is just a sham, a pale reflection of the real thing.

Well … today’s loss in the PM shares has been cut way back, just an opportunity for people to lose their positions, while other hands take them.

This lady sounds like she knows what she’s talking about.

If there’s a paper market that doesn’t allow you to take delivery of the underlying product, how is that a market at all, much less a pricing mechanism for the world. Why would anyone trade based on it’s price, especially the miners.

At some point it will just fade away.

The Chinese have been closing down some access to silver for the common folk. There’s not enough there either. I don’t know how the crimex price differential keeps existing. Seems like the arbitrageurs would be going wild!

From DuckDuckGo AI … You won’t see those ounces again!

Each Tomahawk missile is reported to contain approximately 500 ounces of silver, although the exact amount is not publicly confirmed due to military secrecy. Silver is used in various components, including high-energy-density batteries and circuit boards.

……..today ( and volatile times of war) can have a tendency to dramatically increase the flow of money from one part of the world to another ( Middle East/Asian investors shifting into currencies that may be the least stinky of the lot, i.e. the $US)

Squeeze the dollar and watch the metals get smacked! Algorithms have a field day….

Yeah, this is a we’re still in control, statement. For good measure, they’re sending Bitcoin up 5%.

I still don’t see how the price differential with Shanghai gets resolved if Crimex doesn’t have the metal.

Buygold … I think your “sell the news” theory is as correct as anything … of course with some of the usual suspects with their thumb on the scale …
