Reports coming in this week suggest that banks and other institutions have closed out their shorts and are now positioned long precious metals. Seems like more of a same way trade with everyone piled in the same direction. More momentum and fewer short squeezes in the future it seems.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

That's exactly what I was hearing was supposed to happen after we broke $100. Especially given that it broke through with relative ease, like a knife through butter. It's a confirmation for them to get in, not out.

Of course we'll see a pullback, or selloff, or profit taking or whatever we want to call it, but -25% right now? Not unless the banksters change the rules like they did to the Hunt Bros in 1980. -25% right now would be a crash not a pullback.

In my opinion unless the Fed does a big "rug pull" right now, that big -25% pullback won't happen until it hits $125 an ounce.

A direct quote from David Bateman on X.. In case you don't know, he's the guy that allegedly bought a billion dollars worth of silver before the run up.


a friend up the east coast sent me a link for a zero hedge article about that guy, but I couldn't get into it to read it. bought a billion dollars in silver before the run-up, eh?... no insider stuff going on there, I'm sure...

i refrain from commenting on the quote. I would be doing so in an out-of-context way, so I digress. far be it for some unknown-to-me 'billionaire' look down his nose at anyone not of his ilk.

This is an amazing time for sure. For 15-20 years I have made an example to people that in 1964 a silver quarter would buy a gallon of gas. Then I would point out that a silver quarter today is worth $X" (typically $10-35, had to correct) and thus roughly buys a gallon of gas in silver value- meaning the dollar is debased, but silver holds its value.

Today, a silver quarter buys 4-5 gallons of gas, just all of a sudden. Something has changed drastically and suddenly. I think it is true price discovery and the current administration allowing silver/gold to find their natural levels; inflation has occurred and is still occurring; The industrial need for silver is MUCH higher today, and the banks were already helping to suppress the price of silver in Fed$ for their customers (manufacturers); There has been a deficit of silver production for at least 5 years; We are moving to a new world and monetary order- more localized/less global and tariffs instead of income tax in the US at least. Finally the US punished Russia by freezing their funds on SWIFT, and this sent a message to central banks all over the world that the US$ is not the best safe haven. All of this together (plus I am sure other factors- such as sovereign protection of strategic metals/materials, especially in the US and China) have created the perfect storm for silver/gold true price discovery and more awareness of the full competitive needs of metals (e.g., monetary holding/trading vs. industrial consumption). The economy still seems to be doing well on the back of a lot of technology development, so I am not necessarily expecting a market crash, but more inflation could be possible (a crash is too, I just do not see it yet, but I am not an economist).

Currently about to convert a large amount of 90% into 1oz gold coins of some sovereign type. Possible Maples.

Trying to get the max amount for my 90% but looks like options are limited. Last vermillion video was Spot -$9 which is the strongest I have seen but that video was dated a few days ago.

GSR is still pretty high. Once it catches up I suspect both will go up together. I am not sure what that level is but probably 15-30 : 1.

Seems like they usually have the best prices for both buy and sell. The only issue on the sell side is that they won't lock in the price if you're not a walk-in seller and have to ship it to them. Their buying price is determined when they receive the items and have verified content and purity. Lately, a lot can change in terms of price and premiums during the shipping period. Still, they most likely will have a better price than your LCS or the major online dealers ( JM Bullion right now is spot-$22)

And how! Just saw gold at well above $5000 and silver topping $105. No idea how long it will last or how high it will go, but very exciting!

Funny - I remember commercials 20 years ago that were saying "Gold is going up to $5000 an ounce" - well, finally got there!

Right about now a lot of people are wishing they had listened to William Devane years ago. I guess now they're wondering if it's too late to hop on the bandwagon. A lot of emotions and nervous money out there.

I'm sure there will be a royal smackdown any minute now, but in the meantime it's quite amazing to watch this happening in real time:
