Buffett Calls The Top: Berkshire Quietly Dumps Half Its Apple Shares Amid Unprecedented Selling Spree

When yesterday we said, when discussing Buffett’s ongoing liquidation of his Bank of America stake, that “Berkshire’s rising cash stockpiles merely reflect the firm’s inability to find deals in today’s overvalued and weak economic environment”, little did we know just how accurate that would be, because fast-forwarding just one day later we find that far from only dumping Bank of America, the 93-year-old Omaha billionaire had been busy quietly dumping his most iconic holding in an unprecedented selling spree that sent Berkshire’s cash pile soaring by a record $88 billion to an all time high $277 billion at the end of Q2.

Lot’s of action. Funds doing some selling, banksters covering, yet for all the back and forth Gold was up around $50 and Silver around $.90 on the week. If they hadn’t come in yesterday with the big flushes (there were multiple) the gains would have been closer to 3+% in gold and 5% for silver.

Which makes the dumping of the shares yesterday all the more ridiculous. SNG is right though, the shares are completely managed by Blackrock. Who knows how high the metals have to be before they start going?

New York Commercial Real Estate Plunges 97.5% at Great Depression Levels

I don’t own GROY anymore. I watch it, but I just watch the shares mostly for an indication of what the metals might do.

No doubt they took a big haircut with that purchase. Hard to see them coming back anytime this year since they are at 52-week lows and there will be tax loss selling.

The royalties seem to hold up better than anything else in terms of miners, so eventually maybe they’ll be a decent play. Who can know with any of these things?

I was curious why the share price isn’t going up these days.  Its the $50 million they spent recently with that copper royalty  they bought in Bosnia has a problem with the Forest Service that might have to be resolved.     q2 mine operators release .   If they ever rewire the Ukraine  that Vares copper mine is fairly close.

“David Garofalo, Chairman and CEO of Gold Royalty, commented: “Closing this Transaction further solidifies our outlook for strong free cash flow growth in 2024 and beyond. We believe Vares is an exceptional asset that supplements our robust portfolio of royalties on long-life and low-cost projects in top-tier mining jurisdictions. We look forward as our operating partners deliver at the assets underlying our interests and our revenue growth potential is crystalized.”

So I’m in a pawn shop today. How’s business I say? The proprietor says “Terrible everyone wants to sell and no one is buying.”

I think the average American is near broke. JMO

BlackRock and Aladdin, with super computer programing,  can control everything paper or digital. That’s why I’ve gone to PHYZ in hand this time around. When the quadrillion dollar Derivative financial world goes bust, and it will, the only thing left is what you have IN HAND.  FWIW and DYODD! Best wishes from Silverngold!

at least today it is

Things don’t suddenly reverse like gold has every time they make new highs. Just doesn’t happen. This is blatant manipulation and fraud. They have screwed investors out of billions and billions over the last two decades.

PM’s just can’t ever be viewed as a viable alternative to the dollar or even stocks.

Anyone who claims that the players needed to raise money for margin calls is lying or stupid.

In terms of rates, the Fed doesn’t need to do anything. The bond market has already cut rates for them.

This is complete bullsh*t. Please don’t tell me, oh just a little more patience, after the election, toward the end of the year, yada, yada, nonsense. The dollar is getting creamed, all the ducks are aligned right now, but the manipulators won’t allow it. Period. We’ve seen this too many times.

Rant over. I’m done for the day.

Gold and the miners go down in sympathy with the general markets then after a while they break away and go back up. In fact we may have already bottomed a few minutes ago. It was probably half just an emotional reaction by the pricing machines, causing more emotion from the nervous nillies too.

11:58 am, I just bought 60 sh of AGQ at $34.41, also 500 sh of AG at $5.05, also some 65 sh of SOXL at $30.98 and 20 sh of FTAI at $102.46. All around $2000 incase they drop, 10% of $2000 is only $200 loss that I can take.

Agreed. In the past, the financial muppets would always come up with commentary to fit the Cartel’s shenanigans….

Today’s action, as you have mentioned before, is about getting PM’s down to certain “levels” before they start to try and cut rates…..

They have done at least 3 massive dumps today. This is the biggest so far.

There’s just not enough energy or money behind us to stop them. This isn’t about selling to raise capital to meet margin calls in a weak market, just wholesale price manipulation.

Sucks and it won’t stop until there are no more markets.

Definitely seem to be going inverse the SM, but they are slowly grinding us down. Aladdin started hitting NEM a few minutes ago, so that was the sell signal to whoever is playing.

Has nothing to do with the dollar. Dollar is in freefall.

We need some volume and we’re just not getting it yet. I don’t understand why we aren’t when we’re at all time highs.

Oil went from strong overnight to getting spanked all the way back to $74. Bitcoin has turned up.

Doesn’t look like tech and the QQQ’s are coming back anytime soon. If everything were to close at these levels, the money masters are going to have their hands full Sunday night. Long day ahead though, but kind of exciting.

If they’re going to get us, they’ll get us in the silver market first. I don’t like the way NEM is getting played but fingers crossed anyway.

Recession Triggered: Payrolls Miss Huge, Up Just 114K As Soaring Unemployment Rate Activates “Sahm Rule” Recession

But while we have long known that the real payrolls number is far worse than reported, what was the true shock in today’s “data” is the long overdue admission that the US is effectively in a recession because as the rule named for pro-Biden/Kamala socialist Cluadia Sahm indicates, a recession has now been triggered. The rule, for those who don’t remember is that a recession is effectively already underway if the unemployment rate (based on a three-month moving average) rises by half a percentage point from its low of the past year. And that’s what just happened, with the unemployment rate surging 0.6% from the year’s low.

I doubt they’d like to go into a Sunday night after a Friday where the SM is in the tank and pm’s are strong. It’s all about optics, I guess.

Oil now down 2%. The 10 yr. is all the way down to 3.86%

The Yen is climbing quickly, but the Nikkei is in some trouble, down almost 6%.

I’d think someone is blowing up. The house of cards starting to face a stiff wind?

I hope it all crumbles. Except pm’s of course. 🙂

Gonna take out silver first. They’ve got a lot of shorts to protect in both gold and silver.

Half the gains in silver gone, a third in gold go poof, and still falling, despite the dollar getting crushed back below the 50 dma.

We made new highs in gold just a few minutes ago.

The beat goes on. Unbelievable what they’re allowed to do.

Must’ve been weak numbers.

PM’s run, dollar flops, SM craters.

Hopefully we can hold some gains.

WESTGOLD AND KARORA COMPLETE MERGER

https://ceo.ca/@newswire/westgold-and-karora-complete-merger

The SM futures are looking ugly at the moment. AMZN & INTC laid eggs on earnings, AMZN down 8% and INTC down almost 20% in the premarket. Intel looks like a mining stock. I remember in the late 90’s, early 2000s INTC was THE big chipmaker and moved the entire market. AMZN is probably more important now, but bad earnings from them screams recession, but we know it’s a depression.

The dollar is flat. 10 yr. down to 3.94% and low and behold even Bitcoin is down 2%.

The big surprise is that PM’s are gaining back what they lost yesterday, gold is getting more than it lost. So, the old school plays of oil, gold and silver are getting some attention. The money has to go somewhere besides bonds right?

PM shares look strong right now too, even EXK and AG are bouncing.

We still have to get through a jobs report, so nothing guaranteed, but London is either unwilling or unable to stem the flow into pm’s as of now.

The best world we could possibly hope for is a tanking SM and rising pm’s. Fingers crossed.
