Maybe. That's just a rumor and it's been disputed.

I expected deleveraging for the industrial demand. I'm no expert though and the dynamics of the silver market seem to be changing. Maybe the physical market (underpinning the paper derivatives) really is tighter than we know.

Silver has been showing surprising strength in the face of war news and potential disruptions with oil and the global economy. I'm not complaining at all, but honestly, I rather expected this Israel-Iran conflict to cause a sell off in silver. That hasn't happened and I have to think that is really ...

There is a decent chance that silver will outperform gold over the next 3-5 years IMO. $.02 FWIW

2025 has brought a sound money legislation landslide. Several states passed or almost passed legislation to establish gold and silver as legal tender and to develop payment rails for using them as a parallel currency. I reviewed the legislation for bills in AR, MO, FL and TX in the article linked be...

Bold emphasis is mine: ... While gold prices are driven by many factors, investors showed high demand for gold as a safe haven asset and, at the beginning of 2025, a notable preference for gold futures contracts to be settled physically. These dynamics hint at investors’ expectations that geopolitic...

China is driving the gold bus, not US retail.

I had some fun this morning...

I watched it happen in real time. Most of the peeps that started it are all people I follow/interact with.

The leaders of the squeeze ... Some peeps on X proposed the idea and other peeps said, "yeah, let's do it". Its a viral thing without any real "leader" or organizer. Here are the reasons I invested close to a billion dollars in precious metals over the past six months—including ...

Thanks! They are crude (my photo editing skills are amatuerish) but get the point across.

The LBMA doesn't offer any breakdown on how much of that is actually unencumbered and available to the market (not owned by ETFs, central banks, bullion banks, etc.). The LBMA's technical default with T+6...

COMEX delisted four gold futures contracts. It looks like they don't want the physical gold flowing out to China/SGE and/or back to London/LBMA. The competition for physical gold is tightening up.

... I wanted to check the price of gold and then the bid / ask as of the same time for an American Eagle and Maple Leaf ... Apmex used to advertise their buyback price for bullion items. These days, I think almost all bullion dealers tell you to call them for their buyback prices. I know there are ...

... A gold coin is worth about 2% to 4% more than the ounce gold price? An American Eagle 1/10 oz is not worth 10% of an American Eagle oz but about 10.7%? In other words, some amount more for buying it in the smaller form (like any other food in the grocery store)? It looks like from around 1995 t...
