Disclaimer: It's not for everyone and I definitely don't recommend it as investment advice lol  It takes a strong stomach to be able to ride the Ups and Downs while thousands of you real life dollar's are on the line. And you need a quick finger to hit the Sell button when thing's go against you, it happens really fast. I was up this morning anyway thanks to the Puts I cashed in on NVIDIA that I bought yesterday, I had a feeling that stock would tank today. So if I lose a little on my SLV it will just balance out.

The market made an attempt at recovering up to around before noon time. Then things started deteriorating again in the afternoon. The S&P currently looks like it wants to fall through the floor. News chatter is coming over the wire saying stuff like NASDAQ down due to the relentless climb in the 10 yr Treasury yields" yields climbing for 2 straight days, not good, means the emergency intervention from the Treasury 2 weeks ago (the one that caused Silver to soar) isn't working. Mentions of Oil also climbing relentlessly too. I checked and Oil is going parabolic today, breaking above $90 and they're saying it's going to $100  We're in a bit of a pickle right now. The market is not looking or feeling good at the moment. Feels like it wants to crash. I'm not saying it will happen but if it does it will take everything with it. I was up a little, now down a little, I'm done and getting out as close to even as possible. If anything I will re enter on the Short side because this isn't looking good.

Would be a good time for one of our leaders to talk. Maybe get on TV and announce something, a plan maybe? a concept of a plan? Anything

Sigh.. Silver ended the RTH session back at the bottom sadly. My market Sell order didn't get filled because I refused to lower my Ask price any more.  So I'm holding 10 October 16, 2026 contracts until whenever. Whatever Silver does overnight I guess I'm just going along for the ride. YOLO!!

Quote: "A hotter-than-expected 3.3% flash reading on Eurozone inflation added to the global tightening consensus with the European Central Bank now widely expected to follow." I just found this buried at the bottom of one of the financial articles coming over the wire around 12:30 this afternoon, about when the U S. markets started deteriorating. It was TLDR so I unfortunately missed it, now I wish I hadn't. But this explains the fear we saw today. There's a sense of foreboding as European inflation came in higher than expected, raising the possibility that they will need to raise interest rates. That's the very last thing the U.S. market wants to hear as we await the August inflation numbers.

The metals and the markets were attacked in a 3 pronged assault yesterday  Relentlessly rising Treasury yields  Relentlessly rising Oil  Bad news about European inflation Dare I say the worst is over?   I heard there might have been some news about the US/Canada fiasco and that might be what's helping to stopp the bleeding this morning. ADP employment numbers coming out today as well, maybe we'll see some recovery.
