Silver

*The large specs reduced their long positions by 1,966 contracts and decreased their shorts by 3,537 contracts.

*The commercials reduced their longs by 3,281 contracts and reduced their shorts by 1,042 contracts.

*The small specs increased their longs by 475 contracts and reduced their shorts by 193 contracts.

Gold

*The large specs decreased their long positions by 1,395 contracts and decreased their shorts by 7,302 contracts.

*The commercials increased their longs by 460 contracts and increased their shorts by 6,972 contracts.

*The small specs decreased their longs by 1,303 contracts and reduced their shorts by 1,908 contracts.

Not a whole lot there. Of interest is the small specs are twice as long silver (15,000 contracts) as they are in gold (7500 contracts.)

Today is the 3 month anniversary of the infamous precious metals smash. Since then every day has been a Titanic struggle of some sort. Hundreds upon hundreds of trading hours have been spent in virtual coma-like conditions, all the while the algo systems churn high volume, apparently for the pennies. What little volatility has always been to the downside. Rallies are snuffed before they even begin. I am sure overall trading volume has been completely a function of suppressing prices, with algos shorts programmed to meet all who challenge. Like everything else trading volume is divorced from all reality and fundamentals.

Contrary to those who are still pursing COT tea leaves this “Titanic struggle” has ALL of the hallmarks of a CB/Working Group op. Until gold ever starts breaking cartel rules in earnest, or silver starts acting like the kryptonite that it is to the cartel we’ll have this tedium to contend with. In the meantime the Titanic struggle goes on between the algos, and the derivatives versus the physical supply.

It is amazing to me the low regard they have for most people, that this kind of crap should be swallowed. But I am afraid it is being swallowed. I think a lot of people want to be told what to think and never question the “experts”. The experts in this case have an agenda; power and money in the form of taxes.

“I believe this is  the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on humankind. You can talk about climate change all you want, just don’t try to shove the greenhouse gas “theory” of global warming down my throat. It don’t fly.”

Agree completely. Gotta put that up there with over population. Apparently none of these idiots have ever been in a plane.

Yes, the temperature is highest at the ceiling of the greenhouse. The warm air rises as far as it can (the ceiling) and just collects there. As warm air continues to rise, it continues to raise the temp. of the air at the highest level. You might have climbed a step ladder to replace a light bulb on your ceiling in the summer with no AC on in the house. It can be noticeably hotter up there, particularly if you have 10 or 12 foot ceilings. My dad built a greenhouse when I was young and I did a science report for school about the temperature gradient in a greenhouse. It proved the highest temp was at the ceiling and it got progressively cooler toward the floor.

The reason I say there is no ceiling for our planet is that there is no evidence anywhere I look that suggests there is any level above the ground where the temperature is hotter than the ground level for any length of time. On the contrary, there is all kinds of evidence that the temperature just keeps getting lower, the higher the elevation above the ground. Heat is not being trapped by any layer of gas, therefore, no ceiling and no greenhouse.

We probably all knew it. Heir Mueller after targeting Manafort to get to Trump offered Manafort a reduced sentence for corrupting with his bogus Russian probe.
Trump just hinted that under the circumstances of how he was treated he will pardon him.

Remember when Iraq set all those oil wells on fire?? They were belching black smoke for a very long long time. Nothing happened. It all just disappeared, dissipated, into the air. Like pissing on a forest fire, or pissing in the Atlantic Ocean. It all just disappears.

Even when that oil well under the Gulf of Mexico exploded. Tons of oil was belching into the Gulf waters for a long time. I think the oceans just clean themselves. They throw the garbage onto the beaches, or allegedly corral it into a surface area in the middle of the ocean, an ocean “land fill” or sink it to the bottom where rots dissolves and gets buried with sediment.

Exxon Valdez? That too. I’m sure the waters there are fine now. The Green Movement that originated in “spoiled” Europe, imo was just another communist make fake work idea that worked. Millions of jobs were created that produce nothing at all but overhead costs on society.

Just like another income tax on society to support would be unemployed people if they didn’t create the Green Movement. Green meaning money.

re your parts..

#1 “through the ceiling and then switch to the snowmobile suits”

#2 “The temperature at the ceiling of the greenhouse is the highest it gets in there and diminishes the closer you get to the ground. It is still hot at the ground but that is only because it is hotter than Hades at the ceiling, the hottest level.”

#3 The temperature at the ceiling of the greenhouse is the highest it gets.

Comment: I also believe this is  the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on humankind. Now, your above, I’m confused, it sounds like you are saying it gets hotter as we climb towards the ceiling, then gets colder above the ceiling. Also you mention there is no ceiling?

Forgot to mention back in the 90s while sitting on the grass of a college waiting for a free seminar by a forensic scientist some girls were talking about carbon emissions and oil I asked one of them do you own a car? It’s okay to do it to others just not them. I don’t this too many of these kids own electric cars. I told her if she really believed in it stop driving.

You might enjoy this one. Heard on radio this morning.
A guy didn’t mention where was training a new employee a black woman. The woman accused the man listening to that same radio station of using the N word. The radio station did not and could be proven by going to that recording of it. Not only that the guy had no control of what the radio station. The business didn’t even bother to check for fear of being accused of being racist and fired the guy.
After the people were outraged and the radio station offered to prove it was not true he said that’s okay he got another job.
The kicker was he got a job as a tow truck operator which he did before and found this woman who falsely accused him on the list they couldn’t find. He said he knew exactly where she was and towed her car. Karma

Will read it later. I do know they have some impact including air quality. Air quality is important esp at the rate of deforestation going on.
I don’t think electric dependency next is the answer as far as air quality or gas independence. Less the car is able to generate its own electricity after being charged once like a alternator does in gas operated to the battery and the battery price becomes as affordable as a regular battery.
One guy did with water turning it into hydrogen, You might remember died of food poisoning after having dinner with petro people. I’m wondering if they wanted to buy his patent so they could make it go away and he refused.

Woah horsey. That would be in the territory of child trafficking. There already doing that by profiting off the fetus by selling them as well as using them in vaccines and even read flavor enhancers like in Pepsi. To me that’s like killing babies and feeding them to people.
News haven verified no time to research, inspectors found horse mean , worms as fillers and ” human DNA ” in their burgers. They haven’t figured out how the human DNA got in there. Mac Donald’s
If people got paid for abortions those needing money could have them as brought up in the past for Alzheimer’s research as they were implanting them in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients probably hoping their stem cells ” which can turn into any kind of cell” would regenerate brain cells. They were offering money to woman having a abortion. I guess that’s what justified not paying the mother but the clinic instead and without permission. No counseling for life as it isn’t profitable to them. I bet they were behind in the harassment of those that did.

Wonder if they are behind the horrible outright crazy women going into the Supreme Court hearings too screaming about it. Wonder if they were paying them.

I do not believe there are any greenhouse gases, never mind just co2. If there were, we would have a greenhouse, but we don’t. The guys that climb Mt. Everest, 29000 feet, close to 6 miles up do not go up in Bermuda shorts and flip flops til they climb through the ceiling and then switch to the snowmobile suits. You can’t have a greenhouse without a ceiling. Ask them where the ceiling is. Airline pilots that fly even higher than Everest know what the temperature is outside the cockpit at any point in their flight. They should be able to verify a ceiling, but they don’t. As long as there has been telemetry, we have had weather balloons going up to measure various data points including temperature at various altitudes. No ceiling. Temperature inversions are a weather event, not a climate event, and they right themselves quickly because they are not sustainable.

The temperature at the ceiling of the greenhouse is the highest it gets in there and diminishes the closer you get to the ground. It is still hot at the ground but that is only because it is hotter than Hades at the ceiling, the hottest level. The Earth is not in a greenhouse of any kind, never mind one of our making. I am not a climate denier, I know it is getting warmer just based on my own observations over quite a few years. Maybe God is just dialing up the sun a little, as has been the case cyclically over millenia.

I believe this is  the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on humankind. You can talk about climate change all you want, just don’t try to shove the greenhouse gas “theory” of global warming down my throat. It don’t fly.

Nothing glaring but going the wrong way

Ahh maybe its just a bounce and it will go lower. “They” keep saying its hurting the emerging market countries, and THEY, usually favor and help them. Very confusing.

Simply give Liberals what they Want  !  Free abortions for all Gays,Lesbians ,Blacks Liberals Jews and anybody that wants one.Except Christian Whites who will get counseling instead according to their Christian white beliefs .Then as a bonus give all that accept this proposal  a $1000 tax free bonus for every abortion they have for the afore mentioned group ,in fact I would extend this generous benefit to White Christians that want children also to them a $1000 benefit to them for each child they have so they wont feel left out .Then a special benefit as an add on incentive in the interest of Bi Partisan cooperation ,free suicide assistance to the Progressive Liberals  in the aforementioned group and a double bonus to any Senator or Congress critter that wants to join them and especially anyone named Blumenthal for their Progressive legislative assistance in sponsoring this bill IF they join in.

No need to question Supreme Court candidates ,the policy is to give everyone what they want and a $1000 bonus….!

JNUG was $862.8 0n 3-10-2014. The low was $6.40 on 9-11-18. It is now just above $7.00 and just below several moving averages. I purchased a few hundred shares today simply because the stock has fallen 99% in four years with very little room to fall further. It was the first ETF I have ever been involved with. I know I am early but since their is no expiration date, I am willing to hold on for the long term while still adding to my stack. December Comex gold is holding the $1200. area like illegals are holding their SNAP card and Sec. 8 housing .

rno, who tried too many things twice because he couldn’t believe it hurt so much the first time!

Sixty Five woman wrote their own letter on behalf of Kabanahgh and the smear campaign they’re pulling next. Like I say the socialist left will resort to the unprovoked assault oh humanity our constitution just like communism.

Richard640 Wow How can they do that when children don’t have a total grasp on right and wrong. They are impressionable and spontaneous. Most younger kids do it for attention. They’re learning to get attention from the opposite sex and many times come out annoying. What does West Point want, girly boys? Certain prank style harassment went on into high school although I hope that stopped. What will it be now, boy designed a gun out of sandwich.

“Is Barrick still helping central banks manage the gold market?”

Does a bear shit in the woods?

Pretty likely they aren’t the only ones

was a sweet old biddy spinster who had also taught my best friends father-she was in her 60s–in those days all the girls wore skirts-one day we boys decided to throw up the girls skirts, see their undies, giggle and run away…years later, when I applied to West Point, a background check turned this up in my record and I was denied admission.
