I see that silver spot is just under $45 this morning. Many TA peeps on X were claiming that $44.22 or $44.44 was an important resistance line. We'll see if the breach holds and launches silver higher towards $50 as many of them were claiming would happen.

SGE closed ~$45.22 and London spot is currently right at $45. The SGE premium appears to be a paltry $0.22 presently (or ~0.5% > LBMA).

Doesn't look like China cares about the CME margin raises...
 
Looks like a turf war going down for AU/AG in the futures charts!
 
How do you make a small fortune investing in the market..? Start with a large fortune!!

Here you go!

Make money fast in stocks. This is about a technique that could net you a nice profit in a few days​

Most of the world's richest investors made profits from stocks by doing it the traditional way. Picking great companies at great prices and having a lot of patience. I show you the books written by, and about them.

Then there are those who made a lot of money fast. They also have books written about their trechniques.

Lastly we have those who started rich and lost it all. Nobody writes about them. Their names have faded into obscurity.

I don't believe in trying to make money fast. Trying too often can also result in losing money fast. Easy come, Easy go. But I get so many messages asking about it, I have decided to show you one of the several technioques that are almost a free lunch.

Nothing in this video is meant to be investment advice. Stocks can go down as well as up. You may not get back what you started with. Past performance is indicator of future performance.

In this video I demonstrate how you could have made 5% to 10% over just a few days by front-running a known event - with a tactic normally reserved for multi-millionaires and hedge funds. You can front-run them and potentially have the advantage. However, there is "market-risk" meaning that although you have an advantage, you are still exposed to the risks of a market crash.

Why investors are ditching bonds for gold in 2025

Gold has surged to the top of investors' wish lists in 2025. The yellow metal, long revered as a hedge against inflation and geopolitical turmoil, has seen its price rocket to record highs above $3,600 (€3,080) per ounce, delivering returns of nearly 40% year-to-date ––gold's best year since 1978.

While global equity markets have delivered positive returns this year, they remain well behind gold’s performance. In contrast, bonds are enduring yet another year of disappointing performance.

37 X 3800 = $140,600 almost BTC!

The late Jim Sinclaire was calling for 150,000 gold and 3000 silver. I know I throw that 3000 number around once in awhile. People think I'm crazy (I am but that's besides the point) but I am not just making that number up. That came from him. However I do think that number will be to low when gold does go to 150k. 50-1 gsr will more than likely go to 20 to 1 or lower. Maybe back to historical norms or 7-1, the rate it now comes out of the ground. That would take silver over 20,000

Here’s JPMorgan Chase’s blueprint to become the world’s first fully AI-powered megabank​

  • JPMorgan, the world’s largest bank by market capitalization, is being “fundamentally rewired” for the AI era, according to chief data analytics officer Derek Waldron.
  • AI was a major topic at a four-day executive retreat held in July by JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, according to a person who attended but declined to be identified speaking about the private event.
  • JPMorgan is now early in the next phase of its AI blueprint: It has begun deploying agentic AI to handle complex multistep tasks for employees, according to an internal roadmap.
  • Waldron, who gave CNBC the first demonstration of JPM’s AI platform seen by any outsider, showed the AI program creating an investment banking deck in 30 seconds.
Deep within the bowels of JPMorgan Chase’s data centers and cloud providers, an artificial intelligence program crucial to the bank’s aspirations grows more powerful by the week.

The program, called LLM Suite, is a portal created by the bank to harness large language models from the world’s leading AI startups. It currently uses models from OpenAI and Anthropic.

Looks like the dipping began as soon as Chinese markets closed (last night for me). We'll see if gold and silver find support at USD 3800/46 without Chinese demand over the next few days. I've got some "dry powder" ready for this weekend.
