JP Morgan moved their NY gold trading crew to Singapore last Thursday with no warning. Why? Maybe to swing over night trading prices in a thin Asia market in a direction they want it to go? That feels like a safe bet.  |

COMEX shut down trading last night while silver was in a big run. They claim cooling issues at the data center. BS, only silver had issues as no other customers reported issues. They are losing control. Silver is currently up almost 6% to 56.57. Lets see where we close today. I'm skeptical, they should have a failsafe that should have worked when there was a failure. In fact, exchanges and banks like that should have 3 or 4 backup systems. Something smells. If I had to guess, it is tied to delivery of actual silver and the issue that each oz sitting in the vault is covering a future, an ETF and a short sale if not more. It works on paper until there everyone asks for delivery. |

If the recent failures with Cloudflare and others has proven, the backups are seldom tested until they fail in real time.  But, the failure—whether through planning or negligence—does make for a good excuse.  |

Where will they get the metal? Promises can only go so far. A brief dip below $58 and hovering along the line again. We will have to wait for $60.  |

Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

They have been pulling games since the Hunt Brothers. I would not be surprised by anything they do now. They are fighting for their financial lives because the paper game is over.

The chicken has come home to roost.  |

The chicken has come home to roost roast. Fixed that for ya. Mainstream media channels beginning to talk about silver now. Even the grandmas and pop-pops at Thanksgiving were talking about it. It feels very bubbly. I watched a CNBC clip today where they claimed that a great harvest in India propelled the silver price higher. That reminds me of a podcast I watched a couple decades ago, where a hedge fund guy talked about how the media tries to narrate the world events of the day onto market moves. I agree with what you guys said above, rapid market moves in commodoties markets, absent any clear driving events, seems much more like a short squeeze or contracts trading among big players. Maybe the chickens aren't roosting or roasting. Perhaps a grand game of Chicken is being played out in real time. Exciting days! |

Indeed. $70 is starting to fee distant as well.  |

I never thought I'd say this, but I'm beginning to wish I bought at $80

I do, too. At least all the "overpriced" silver I bought from the Mint in the last ten years is looking good.  |
