Any you guys touch my silver….and I’ll kill ya.

OK, here’s the figures.  As noted, look at the OI decrease from yesterday to today.  Wonder how much of a cash premium the Crimex had to pay the holders to not take physical silver.

24-Feb 23-Feb
Registered Silver 86,282,854 87,172,297
March Silver OI 109,410,000 185,810,000
% to clean out Comex 78.9% 46.9%
March OI Contracts Remaining 21,882 37,162

CRIMEX

Well, congrats to the crooks.  They have OI for March down to 22K for silver.  So, if 80% of those stood for delivery, the silver registered would be gone.  I don’t know where the 15,200 decrease went from yesterday as only 5k were rolled to May, and basically 10,000 contracts cashed out, maybe?  But, I am no silver COMEX expert.  Just know the numbers as they are posted.

Still, I have to guess with a drawdown of 15 million (3,065 contracts) in Feb of registered ounces (from 103 million to current 87 million), there would at least be some concern that we will experience another 50 million ounce drawdown this month.  At that point, you are really scrapping the bottom of the barrel for deliverable ounces and would be around 37 million (assuming no additions from eligible).  I think shorts will get very nervous once we approach the 50 million in registered.  Also, not much of a reprieve as now May looms out there with 70,149 in OI.  Potentially another 350 million ounces, they are just kicking the can down the road. I think they are emulating the US govt with their 39 billion in debt obligations, and adding 2 trillion plus a year when we aren’t officially in a recession or at war….

Oh, and once you pass the rubicon of 120% debt to GDP (us at 124%), you can never get back.  Just like being on the credit card debt treadmill…no matter how fast you run, you can’t get off gracefully.

Take a close look at this Cass Freight Index chart – A hard landing!

NOTE: I don’t know this guy’s background but he was referenced by Pedro just a couple of posts ago…………

The U.S. real economy is slamming on the brakes hard, as the effects of tariff policy are beginning to manifest at full force.

We’re seeing a sharp vertical collapse in January, with the index touching lows not seen since the 2008 financial crisis – and actually lower than the COVID peak

Freight is not moving in the United States!

The disconnect is glaring: Markets have been euphoric about AI driven productivity gains, yet real economic activity, as measured by freight volumes – is collapsing

Man Accidentally Hacks Himself A 7,000-Robot Army

A software engineer in Spain had the surprise of his life when he found himself in control of thousands of robots in what was supposed to be a pet project. Sammy Azdoufal set out to customize his new Chinese-made DJI Romo robot vacuum, a high-end autonomous cleaner that comes with a price tag of $2,000 that maps homes, mops floors, and navigates obstacles with onboard sensors, according to Popular Science.

“Do You See What Happens Larry…”: Summers Out At Harvard After Epstein Scandal

The former Harvard President and Clinton-era Treasury Secretary has been cited four times on the flight logs of Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘Lolita Express’. During his first trip, he was still working in the Clinton administration. And during his most recent – in 2005 – he and his wife accompanied Epstein to Epstein’s private island just days after their wedding.

…aaaand he’s gone.

BREAKING: John Thune says he will bring the SAVE America Act to the floor to get democrats ON THE RECORD opposing Voter ID

IT’S NOT ENOUGH!

We DO NOT want performative moves. We want the zombie filibuster nuked, and this bill to ACTUALLY PASS.

No wonder the stock market is up…Coffee and Covid snippet…Jeff is awesome.

Last night, the President took Trump Accounts for Kids and launched it into orbit. “Half of all working Americans still do not have access to a retirement plan with matching contributions from an employer,” the President told Congress. That was the Democrats’ argument. Then he pulled the pin from the political grenade.

“To remedy this gross disparity,” he explained, “I am announcing that next year, my administration will give these often forgotten American workers, great people, the people that built our country, access to the same type of retirement plan offered to every federal worker. We will match your contribution with up to $1,000 each year, as we ensure that all Americans can profit from a rising stock market.”

And just like that, the tables turned. Everyone is invested in the market now. (Or at least, can be, by simply checking a box on their income tax form. Citizenship and ID are required.) Federal workers already have retirement accounts linked to the market. Corporate workers get IRAs and 401Ks in which they can invest. Now every single child gets one and, if —and only if— Republicans keep the House this November, every other person will get one too, plus $1,000 bucks to kick it off.

The Fett

Smartest Dem out there, when will he cross the floor? We mocked him after his stroke but the joke was on us. Trump even shook his hand on the entrance.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) says he was one of the Democrats to stand up for Iryna Zarutska and Erika Kirk at Trump’s State of the Union “Even Erika Kirk. Can’t we just be more kind to a WIDOW? How can’t we acknowledge that?” “I clapped for the family that lost the Ukrainian girl…the Venezuelan political prisoner…the veterans.” “I’ll always clap for things I agree with, like striking the Iranian sites.” “And if I don’t agree, I certainly won’t yell, scream and disrupt the whole thing.” Folks, this is called acting like a normal American.

Relentless advance…LG.V

If it comes back near the 50 day…I’d buy it.  I’ll buy even more.

Any of you guys think of mining underwater? These guys do…

Love this company, and it’s at a great entry point, just regained the 200 day MA.

They mine “nodules” from the seabed, yes just like picking up nickels in front of a steamroller, without the risk of the steamroller…Here’s where they “mine”.

And here’s a summary of the company.

Just bought some today.  You could set a stop loss at 5.58 or 4.75 to control your risk.  Happy trading.

Resources guys, it’s all about a battle for resources, and not a lot of companies are doing this.  It’s like swimming through the dirt and collecting the PM’s, but not having to actually move the dirt.  Genius.

Trumped Again

A company owned by US President Donald Trump has announced plans to build Australia’s tallest skyscraper.

The project by the Trump Organization and local developer Altus Property Group is for a 91-story luxury tower on Queensland’s Gold Coast. It will include a six-star hotel, 270 apartments, shops, a beach club and a swimming pool, both companies confirmed in separate statements on Monday.

CBS and the cameramen also shocked me with the STU address, CBS:

Even CBS admitted Democrats made themselves look like FOOLS last night at the State of the Union “They can’t even applaud BASIC, COMMON SENSE things!”

BOVINE FLATULENCE

For years, the climate cult has told us that beef cattle are public enemy number one. Cow burps and farts, they solemnly intone, are melting the polar ice caps and must be taxed, regulated, and ultimately replaced by lab-grown slop and cricket flour. New Zealand tried to slap a “burp tax” on farmers. California and the EU have pushed similar nonsense. And few have preached this gospel more loudly or persistently than Bill Gates, one of the most prominent voices amplifying the “cow farts” theory.

It’s Kumbaya for Trump…every market loves what he said last night apparently….

I no longer watch the SOU…3 hours of clapping, 15 minutes of talking, but it’s all green.  As always a banner day, everything up, coffee down.  Music to my ears, but wondering why I have to pay 20 usd a bag for my Costco Columbian bag when coffee continues to decline.  It used to be around 15, but still way cheaper than buying coffee….

Iran (conveniently) nears deal with China for supersonic missiles to blow up U.S. ships.

Iran is nearing a deal with China to acquire CM-302 anti-ship cruise missiles, aiming to enhance its military capabilities. The missiles, which have a range of 290 kilometers and are designed to evade ship defenses, could pose a serious threat to US naval forces in the region, Reuters reported on February 24.

The potential sale comes amid heightened tensions between the US and Iran, with China asserting its role in the Middle East as it strengthens ties with Tehran.

Project Artichoke: 70 Years Ago, CIA Discussed Hiding Mind-Control Drugs in Vaccines

In the 1950s, the CIA brainstormed ways to secretly perform mind control on humans — including concealing drugs in vaccines and widely consumed food products. The seven-page document, “Special Research for Artichoke,” is dated April 23, 1952. It describes a series of ideas for how to develop chemicals designed to alter human behavior and thought and were part of the CIA’s top-secret Project Artichoke. The document, declassified in 1983, recently circulated on social media. However, it was not published in the CIA’s online reading room until last year.

According to the document: “This study should include chemicals or drugs that can effectively be concealed in common items such as food, water, coca cola, beer, liquor, cigarettes, etc. “This type of drug should also be capable of use in standard medical treatments such as vaccinations, shots, etc.”

US Surprisingly Abstains From UN Solidarity With Ukraine Vote On War Anniversary

The UN General Assembly (UNGA) has voted in favor of a draft resolution reasserting support for “lasting peace” in Ukraine Tuesday, which marks four years since the 2022 Russian military entry into Ukraine.

The resolution passed with 107 votes in favor, 12 against and 51 abstentions. Perhaps the most interesting aspect to the vote was that it was presented by Ukraine and co-sponsored by 46 countries – and though drafted by Kiev the United States did not vote in favor, but abstained alongside China.

Russia, Belarus and Sudan were among the opponents – and this is given that the resolution focused on restoring Ukraine’s territorial borders as part of finding lasting peace. The Kremlin has of course rejected that Ukraine will ever get the four ‘annexed’ eastern territories back.

Terminal TDS, no PM exposure and you are a Trumper if you are a Cdn who visits any US state

Just discussing Canadians. Those suffering from terminal TDS can not let anything favourable to the US pass w/o condemning Orange Man Bad.
I kindly offered to give a tour for my long-time ski friend’s buddies. It was a great Bluebird Day with the terrain to match.
After asking where they were all from, they asked about me. Told them GMG spends half the year in Vancouver to take advantage of the amenities. “Is she here now?”. No she’s in Vancouver this week and as we speak, likely grocery shopping in Bellingham, WA for her regular raw milk and food run. That triggered a shitstorm of responses. “I’ll never cross the border while Orange Man Bad is in office.” I quietly told them it’s their loss and tried to change the subject. “So you must be a Trumper!”. We cross the border regardless who is in power as we benefit from the food we buy there.

These people are forgoing trips to Florida and other states strictly due to politics. At this rate Florida RE and the rental mkt must be suffering. I told them that WA State is not friendly to Trump so why penalize the retailers and their economy. No answer as expected.

When I mentioned GMG had to pick up a Silver order on the Cdn side of the Border, I learned that that is a Trumper thing to do. None of them own any and no one has PM mining shares unless they are in an ETF with their “Guy”.
Well you missed out on some sweet returns the past three years. It was my order from that crash last month that I was waiting for delivery. Great deal on Silver Eagles which I have never purchased before. The premium was lower than Silver Maples.

I live among some truly brain-dead individuals. Beam me up Scotty!

The Left’s War on Sports

This outrage over the Men’s USA Hockey team is incredibly stupid, but it’s important we recognize it for what it is.

It’s proof that the Left have politicized EVERYTHING.

They injected their politics into every element of our society. They infected movies, TV, sports, music, art, video games, news, academia, social media, the corporate world, essentially every piece of media we consume, etc.

They made it so being openly political about Left-wing narratives is accepted and encouraged, but if you show anything but vile hatred towards Trump and America, they will unleash their media apparatus and seek to destroy you.

This is why the Left are so upset about the Men’s Hockey team, because they DESPERATELY do not want the public or other athletes to see that it’s okay to be friendly towards Trump, or to show any level of patriotism. They did the same thing when Saquon Barkley took a ride with Trump on Marine One, or whenever any team visits Trump at the White House.

Why? Because they don’t want other people to think it’s okay to start showing their support for Trump. It’s all part of their desire to control public perception. They have weaponized everything to serve their nefarious agenda.

So when people get mad about the politicization of sports, there is only one side to blame. The Left have gotten completely out of control, and we can no longer sit back and passively ignore this insanity. We must confront it, or they will consume us all.
