Ipso – I think your graph is going to be very prophetic in the not-too-distant future and the general public will end up chasing.
You want to be on a farm for food security …
… because if the government does not kill you … AI will eventually reach singularity (consciousness) and likely carry out a self-determined defense protocol involving the neutralization of humans – their chief threat.
Who knows what this means … but at a very basic level … the machines might be able to disable supply chains … poison food sources etc.
The international banking families have fast tracked AI for some reason … is this it?
Even if that’s not the reason … it might turn out to be an unexpected consequence (benefit to them?).
Skynet is coming to a theater near you if we don’t shut this crap down.
Have a nice day.
Seismic Activity no es bueno!
Underground Mining Activities at Kakula Mine Suspended; Remediation Work Continues in Western Section of Kakula
Seismic activity at the Kakula underground mine has continued to occur intermittently over the past few days. Given the recent seismic activity, underground activities were suspended again on Saturday, May 25, 2025, with employees safely brought above ground and mobile equipment removed from the mine workings. The safety of employees and contractors remains paramount, and zero lost time injuries have been reported. Preliminary indications are that seismic activity at the Kakula underground could potentially continue for weeks, which would inhibit access to the mine and prolong the temporary suspension of operations at Kakula.
As a result of the impact on underground pumping and electrical infrastructure, to date, there has been an increase in water inflow levels into the Kakula underground mine. Kamoa Copper, with support from Ivanhoe and Zijin Mining, is currently preparing detailed dewatering plans, including the acquisition of additional pumping equipment to increase pumping capacity and allow for dewatering from surface. Ivanhoe would like to thank its Chinese partners Zijin and CITIC Metal for their assistance in procuring additional equipment for the dewatering efforts.

Wherever they get CBDC’s into place … they will strip you of your assets … if you are stupid enough to tokenize them.
If you think the markets are rigged now … they would be ten times worse … so if you decide to bet on an outcome … all they need to do is move prices the wrong way on the consensus … just like they do now using derivatives … moving markets against the fundamentals … and viola … you will own nothing and be miserable.
The whole world would eventually go like Cuba … where citizens get a $30 per month stipend.
And the rich live in lavish complexes.
Just like in Animal Farm

Thank you for posting the last 3 stories……
Ron Johnson, Rand Paul, and now Rick Scott all are a “no” vote for the Big, beautiful bill…..
It’s always very beneficial to get as many perspectives on something, to try and gain an accurate account. Even Musk is questioning the bill….
A cashless society …
… that’s going to work well … just ask Sweden … they tried it but concluded it does not work due to instability concerns (grid, fraud, theft, etc) associated with digital currencies (bitcon is the largest source of cybercrime already) …
Ethereum Co-Founder Responds To Sweden’s Cashless-Society Rethink | ZeroHedge
If people are stupid enough to accept CBDC’s (cashless economies) the commies and their criminal legions will steal every last penny if allowed.
That’s just the way they think.
They can’t help it.
It’s in their nature.
Things are not going so well for commies in DC courtecy of Florida this morning …
… because Senator Rick Scott is voting no to Trumps $3 trillion plus Big Beautiful Bill (nothing of the sort – a complete misnomer that front loads tax cuts with no matching spending cuts … adding $3 trillion plus to the deficit/debt) … effectively putting the kibosh on the bill …
Senator Rick Scott is a No on Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill
It’s about time.
Thank you Rick
Florida is leading the way in maintaining your financial independence …
… this is the future in a progressive American alliance … thwarting the efforts of central planning commies in DC …
Bully Ron DeSantis … the next President of the USA if it’s to remain a union … it’s either that or splitsville.
Pressure on lagging states will now intensify for them to pass sound money legislation and squash funny money (crypto) initiatives.
Mornin all
Bonds are being bought
They got rates back to flat which is goosing the dollar a little. PM’s rolling over, silver looks weak again.
PM shares still sort of hanging positive. Looks a lot like yesterday, which ain’t all that bad if we’re going to rest for a few days.

SM drifting higher, dollar and oil now too
When that happens the obvious play is to sell a little gold and all your silver. 🙂
The battle for the $33’s isn’t over just yet.
Back on track?
Probably a stretch to say that, but Gold is up $18 and silver $.10, so at least no continuation from yesterday. PM shares are acting accordingly, modestly higher.
Everything else is pretty flat, including the dollar. Rates up a couple bips.
No eco data of concern today, it’s just pm’s on their own vs. the manipulators. Given that we started to strengthen about an hour ago, I like our odds.
Silver is everything right now. JMHO
Cap’n, 11:05, I don’t think it makes any difference.
Basel III doesn’t require banks to hold gold. It just means if they decide to, it’s regarded as a tier 1 asset for liquidity purposes, same as cash.
Much more significant was China allowing insurance companies to hold 1% of their assets as gold. Now, whilst ‘allowing’ doesn’t carry the same weight as ‘recommended’ (i.e. buy 1% gold right now) I’m sure that executives of the ten companies selected for the pilot scheme will suffer a drop in their social credit rating unless they cheerfully participate.

That’s kinda what happened pre 2008 when more people were continuing to buy the shares rather that the pizz after the early 2000s as it moved up. During the crash the pizz held up better than the shares.
Maybe we’ll know more after the tariffs get straightened out.
Mr. Copper
That’s what I continue to hope for, these shares telegraphing a big move in the metals.
We managed to hold the $33’s, hopefully that means something.
Did Michelle O” forget whites are oppressors wanting to hook up with a white guy or is it just the woman she don’t like.

I have no idea either other than crime is in any country. Apparently Mexico and I think the demos enabled crime to grow is the worst and most dangerous plus tourist the most targeted.
The coin thing I feel is a sales strategy. They now put limited editions on anything and people are still attracted to it as value. The dollar printing, less value, a computer generated ledger with a name on it limited, more value.
I remember back in the 80 s they came out with a doll called the Cabbage Patch Doll. First thing I thought was these a ugly dolls. The kind that has to grow on you with unusually large heads and maybe where they got their name. Then they gave them each a individual birth certificate and a name and announced only a limited amount will be available. All of a sudden everybody wanted that doll. My daughter got one as a gift and although I could make doll cloths myself for her dolls they had a sale on doll cloths for that doll. I decided I’d pick her up a outfit or two for that doll. I went early and I saw all these people including grandmas lined up. I asked someone what are they waiting for? They apparently had a limited number of those dolls for sale first come first served. I passed them up and went to see what was on sale put one outfit in my cart. It wasn’t long before the feeding frenzy started and all these’s women were looking at the doll cloths. One woman walked up to me pointing to the doll outfit I had in my cart and said, ” Do you want that?” I missed the opportunity to say 10 bucks and I don’t not to be too greedy. I never saw anything like it.
Captain Hook
Can I interest you in some of my new Ipso Coin? It’s the latest thing. It’s based on a mathematical formula so that it has a limited number. 2+2=4, 2+3=5 and so on. The numbers run out when the Universe does.
You could get rich!
WHY ARE GOLD AND SILVER STOCKS HIGHER priced WITH SILVER AND GOLD PRICES LOWER
If gold and silver mining stocks are rising in price while the spot prices of gold and silver are falling, this usually signals that investors are anticipating future gains in the metals — or reacting to other factors that affect miners beyond metal price alone.
Here’s a breakdown of why that might be happening:
? 1. Markets Are Forward-Looking
-
Stock prices reflect expectations, not just current conditions.
-
Investors may believe that gold and silver will rebound soon, so they’re buying mining stocks in anticipation.
-
Stocks often lead the underlying commodity.
Example: Miners rising in 2008 before gold took off in 2009–2011.
? 2. Leverage to Metal Prices
-
Miners have high operating leverage: a small increase in metal prices can mean a big jump in profits.
-
So even if gold/silver is slightly down now, the expectation of a bounce makes miners attractive.
Analogy: If gold goes from $1900 to $2000, a miner’s profit margin might double — so the stock runs ahead of the move.
? 3. Falling Costs / Improved Fundamentals
-
If miners are cutting costs, improving efficiency, or paying down debt, their stocks can rise even with flat or falling metal prices.
-
Oil prices falling, for example, reduces energy costs — a major input cost for mining operations.
? 4. Inflow into Commodities Sector
-
Institutional investors may be rotating into the commodities sector broadly (e.g., energy, metals).
-
That lifts all mining stocks, even if gold/silver spot prices are lagging for the moment.
? 5. Metal Prices Suppressed (Temporarily)
-
If you believe the gold/silver prices are being artificially suppressed (e.g., paper manipulation on COMEX), smart investors might be buying miners as a way to front-run the eventual breakout.
Key Point: The miners are a backdoor bet on metals that can’t be manipulated as easily as the futures market.
? 6. Short Covering in Miners
-
If hedge funds or institutions were short mining stocks and suddenly see technical breakouts or strong buying, they rush to cover.
-
This can cause sharp upward movement in the miners even if the metals are drifting down.
? Conclusion
Gold and silver stocks rising while metals fall is a signal. It usually means:
-
The market sees higher metals prices ahead
-
Miners are improving their profitability regardless
-
Investors are moving in based on expectations, not current spot prices
This kind of divergence is often a bullish sign for the metals themselves — the miners are “sniffing out” the future before the metals catch up.
Let me know if you want a chart comparison (like GDX vs gold/silver prices recently).
