Welcome back.

I’ve uncrossed some of the more sensitive parts but everything else is still firmly in place. (chuckle)

Let’s see what kind of games they have for us this week starting tomorrow with the PPI.

Another good weekly close could send prices surging into September. (an intermediate – 2-year cycle top?)

Cheers

Welcome back Amigo!

You missed quite a few cosh sessions!

Gotta like those premiums!

am back at last…after quite a few adventures, which are still not ended….

I see everything tanked and then the scum shiite themselves and opened up the taps….quelle surprise.

Looks like Gold is gonna drag all PM and shares into a bull mkt, whether they like it or not…..those 15 week and 50 day Av’s have held perfectly.

Good call mr Copper….and the Captain.

FWIW, have earnings out tomorrow. Consensus estimate for the quarter is .09….

Thought it was interesting to note the premium paid for Osisko Mining ( by Gold Fields). Its an all cash deal that values Osisko’s shares at $3.63 per share. Granted that the stock, for the past year, has been in a pretty narrow range between @$1.80 and $2.40….

If you take the upper range, it’s about a 30-35% premium……..Food for thought…..

PM’s strong but so are platinum and palladium. Huh.

Shares strong even with the SM a little weak and the dollar up.

Can we hold on to the unexpected?

also beat earnings and is up some 4.5%…..

Silver seems to be the perpetual “punching bag.”

The half hour of premarket destruction. SLV was up $.54, now up $.29. GLD about the same, so they haven’t hit that just yet. Shares still holding, EXK getting obliterated, down 14%

Barrick (GOLD) is the big winner up 3% this am after having beat on earnings by $.05. Should help the HUI unless the metals collapse. Fingers crossed that the metals hold up.

The dollar is creeping up a little. Blame that.

Silver up 2% this am, gold up $10. Still a couple hours from the 9 am selling but surprisingly strong.

Oli up 1% approaching $78, Bitcoin up 1% around $59K (down from $61 over the weekend), SM up a smidge, Dollar up the same, 10 yr. up a bip. Something for everyone I guess.

First time in a while silver has been stronger than gold. Silver at the highs of the overnight session, gold just off by a couple bucks.

Shares are lukewarm, most are up 1/2 to 1%. Barrick up 2%. No indication from the shares that we’ll have a raging rally at this point.

EXK taking it on the chin with some mill trunnion failure. What a business, impossible for these guys.

No new war this weekend from Iran. That’s good.

Hopefully we’ll hold and have a decent start to the week.

Thanks for that post.

I thought the lady, Whitney Webb, was SMART!!  And very well spoken.

She puts it all together and makes more sense than anyone I have heard yet.

I Am Back – Greg Hunter

It’s gotta be the real thing, IN HAND, not in an imaginary wallet that is there only until someone turns out the lights. Otherwise it is not really Silverngold!

a subject people do not understand well enough

MONEY – What is it?

Let’s start with Webster’s definition:

1. something generally accepted as a medium of exchange, a measure of value, or a means of payment: such as a officially coined or stamped metal currency

Here is another – Author Unknown:

“Gold is the money of kings,
Silver is the money of gentlemen,
Barter is the money of peasants,
but Debt is the money of slaves.”

The original JP Morgan adds his two cents: 

“The wise man bridges the gap by laying out the path by means of which he can get from where he is to where he wants to go.”  “Money equals business which equals power, all of which come from character and trust.” “The first thing (in credit) is character… before money or anything else.  Dec 19, 2016

[below snipped from Doug Casey]:

Money

If you can’t define a word precisely, clearly and quickly, that’s proof you don’t understand what you’re talking about as well as you might. The proper definition of money is as something that functions as a store of value and a medium of exchange.

Government fiat currencies can, and currently do, function as money. But they are far from ideal. What, then, are the characteristics of a good money?

Aristotle listed them in the 4th century BCE. A good money must be all of the following:

• Durable: A good money shouldn’t fall apart in your pocket nor evaporate when you aren’t looking. It should be indestructible. This is why we don’t use fruit for money. It can rot, be eaten by insects, and so on. It doesn’t last.
• Divisible: A good money needs to be convertible into larger and smaller pieces without losing its value, to fit a transaction of any size. This is why we don’t use things like porcelain for money – half a Ming vase isn’t worth much.
• Consistent: A good money is something that always looks the same, so that it’s easy to recognize, each piece identical to the next. This is why we don’t use things like oil paintings for money; each painting, even by the same artist, of the same size and composed of the same materials is unique. It’s also why we don’t use real estate as money. One piece is always different from another piece.
• Convenient: A good money packs a lot of value into a small package and is highly portable. This is why we don’t use water for money, as essential as it is – just imagine how much you’d have to deliver to pay for a new house, not to mention all the problems you’d have with the escrow. It’s also why we don’t use other metals like lead, or even copper. The coins would have to be too huge to handle easily to be of sufficient value.
• Intrinsically valuable: A good money is something many people want or can use. This is critical to money functioning as a means of exchange; even if I’m not a jeweler, I know that someone, somewhere wants gold and will take it in exchange for something else of value to me. This is why we don’t – or shouldn’t – use things like scraps of paper for money, no matter how impressive the inscriptions upon them might be.

Actually, there’s a sixth reason Aristotle should have mentioned, but it wasn’t relevant in his age, because nobody would have thought of it… It can’t be created out of thin air. 

Not even the kings and emperors who clipped and diluted coins would have dared imagine that they could get away with trying to use something essentially worthless as money.

These are the reasons why gold is the best money. It’s not a gold bug religion, nor a barbaric superstition. It’s simply common sense. Gold is particularly good for use as money, just as aluminum is particularly good for making aircraft, steel is good for the structures of buildings, uranium is good for fueling nuclear power plants, and paper is good for making books. Not money. If you try to make airplanes out of lead, or money out of paper, you’re in for a crash.

That gold is money is simply the result of the market process, seeking optimum means of storing value and making exchanges.

In consideration of all the above – All Ponzi Schemes eventually end – this worldwide Fiat system is no exception –

consider for a moment what would happen if every productive working person woke up one day and decided they would only work if they were paid an hourly wage denominated in Copper; Silver or Gold !

same old games. Dollar and rates down, but just not going to help much with the SM down a little.

Funny Bitcoin went from 50K to 61K in 4 days. Someday maybe that fantasy will be ours.

and here they come…

…..Is the weak sister that is manipulated to get everything else to turn lower…..

Trying to have a little follow through despite the SM futures turning solidly south. They were up nicely just an hour or so ago.

Don’t think the follow through will stick, especially as we approach the 9 am hour, but odd that the SM turned down. No reason I can see.
