“I dunno what’s going on. The older I get, the less I know.”

Amen brother. I’m with you.

Course the metals looked like garbage. Is there any doubt that it was option related action in gold at the $2700 level? Silver seemed to be all about closing the futures market at $31 right on the money. Criminals do what they will.

Rates closed positive with the dollar, so there’s that. We caught a serious break with the shares, HUI broke above the 50 dma although everyone here knows that means zilch. Not sure about Maddog’s chart on the GDX, but breakout in pm’s are made to be sold.

Funny how that doesn’t bother the SM or Bitcoin, it was up $5K today. We live in a clown world, nothing is real anymore, although I do hope that when Trump arrives on the seen with his cabinet picks, prison is going to be real for a lot of big named politicians. He has to completely wipe out the deep state or be consumed by it later. Monday is where the rubber meets the road, really hoping he comes thru.

Going to be interesting next week, hopefully we can resume our snails trend higher.

You can’t have severe physical shortages lasting for decades without something happening to prices. Paper might be used to manipulate prices short term, but you can’t use paper in solar panels, electrical circuits, jewellery, switches, batteries – something would have cracked long ago.

Rare earths are a similar thing that regularly crop up with shortages, critical minerals, Chinese domination, Greenland (which has only ever had one mine, for fluorspar, since 1920 or somedate), military importance, electrical revolution, magnets etc. etc. etc. usually to pump the shares of explorers in Greenland, Myanmar, Albania, Australia, bottom of the oceans and yet the price of neodymium (the main rare earth for permanent magnets, used in all electric vehicles), for example, is currently at a third of its 2022 peak, and below its 2011 and 2018 peaks. With no new supply.

And look below the chart at the movement in other rare metals. Now, if you can show me someone who, a year ago, said “Sell cobalt, buy germanium” then I would say I think you’ve found me an expert.

I dunno what’s going on. The older I get, the less I know. But the precious has performed ok over the last few years so I’ll stick with what is working.

Let me tell you a secret.

The Dutch government wants to seize 3000 farms to meet new climate goals.

Ireland plans on slaughtering 200,000 cows to meet new climate goals.

The secret is that these climate goals come directly from the UN Agenda 21.

Years ago…ten at least ? , went to a national steak restaurant at lunch time and tried to order a steak meal . Their computerized order system had crashed , so order entry to the fully staffed kitchen would not work . I said “just go to the window to the kitchen and tell them what I want . They have all the ‘makings’ on hand and I can pay cash . ”
Corporate rules precluded order entry or cash payment without the internet link to corporate passthrough .
I never returned .

AI and energy. Some companies in bitcoin are working on dedicated but  apparently runs a little slower right now in alternative energy solutions.

Trump mentioned in one of his interviews that as far as AI he wants dedicated energy systems put up next to their businesses. What kind I don’t know.

Buygold, Paper covers rock lol Yeah they like to paper up rocks and throw them around, gold rocks. Paper burns but the rocks will still be there, even if they can change form, in any form they still will still have value be anywhere to somewhere. I think Bitcoin works a little like silver and partially gold after silver  not just to be out of the devalued paper but in liquidity problems the phyzz  can be drawn upon if needed.

So sorry to see Germany in the grasp of the Eurocrat lunatics! Unelected bureaucracies are acting as royalty against the interests of the people. It looks like the situation will only get worse. If they cancel the elections? What then?

Sheesh

Lord Bless Elon Musk

The German globalists are really loseing the plot……since Musk interviewed Weidel they have gone batshit crazy……Lord knows what they will do next.

Cancelling the elections on a jumped up excuse is highly possible.

GERMAN GOV’T WARNS POLICE: JOIN AfD, LOSE YOUR JOB

Interior Minister Nancy Faeser has threatened federal police officers with dismissal if they join or support the AfD, despite the party representing over 20% of voters.

One officer called it a “massive attack on freedom of choice” and a “blatant violation of basic rights” for civil servants.

Critics argue this isn’t about neutrality, as the head of federal police, Dieter Romann, is a CDU member.

Aladdin easing up on the sale of the miners? We deserve a break from those criminals, they’ve been robbing the shares all week long.

Just hope the SM stays up, otherwise we’ll collapse.

Ditto here

Murphy and GATA do good and honorable work, but they’ve been ringing alarm bells for 25 years. Doesn’t mean they’re wrong, just that they’re outgunned and underestimate the strength of the opposition.

I bought into all that stuff way back then, with other good men like Sinclair, Von Greyerz, etc. They just don’t seem to get the manipulative lengths the criminals are willing to take.

HUI sitting right on the 50 dma for the 3rd straight day. Ridiculous, but at least it’s not getting crushed just yet.

….But the likes of Bill Murphy and GATA have been spouting off about “shortages” of the metals being a factor, for many years now. And let’s not forget, that when the rats seem to be cornered, they can, and have, change the rules with the flick of a pen…….

Don’t get me wrong Captain Hook; I hope you’re right and I’m in your camp as far as this goes. Just don’t have the patience that others seem to have…….

I would love to be as wrong as rain in the desert.

I agree supply constraints will play a part in the big picture, with The Silver Institute’s 2024 numbers out now at greater than a quarter billion-ounce deficit. But clearly, the elephant in the room is going to be the exchange deleveraging coming down the pike – quite possibly sooner rather than later.

The Silver Institute | The Global Resource

Therein, and as explained in the attached below, silver exchanges (particularly the LMBA) are in jeopardy of what is known as a ‘stock out’, explained by the Senior Commodities Strategist at TD Securities, which is a fancy way of saying they are about to run out of physical silver.

Silver Market Sleepwalking into Stock-Out

If stocks top out soon, it’s possible prices could fall back first with liquidity becoming challenged. Once any such occurrence is completed however, likely the result of central bank prolificity, silver prices should take off above $35, spike high yearly resistance on the long-term chart.

Have a nice day.

Cheers

No help to the pm shares. But when tech goes down, pm shares get blasted with them regardless if the metals are up.

What a sector. So fun.

despite all the shortages and demand, and whatever else anyone can think up, the silver price can still be trashed by the scum any time they want.

Paper covers rock.

Yesterday I pondered that pm shares will not go up unless the SM goes up. We may get to test that theory today if the metals can square themselves up – big “if”.

SM is up, Bitcoin blasting thru $102K up 3%. Oil flat. Dollar up firmly but 10 yr down 3 bips.

Whenever pm shares do nothing for a few days while the metals move higher, as has been the case for the last 4 days with the HUI, the metals have a tendency to get whacked. That appears to be the case today, at least with silver. No doubt gold will follow.

BTW – HUI was stuffed right at its 50 dma big surprise.

No eco data that will matter today.

Prepare for some suckitude

This is another 1980…when u could buy 20/30 year debt above 18 %…..

Still with the way some of are being run if we are patient, we may well see well above 10 % on UK gilts…..see below for the latest act of utter madness.
