Martin Armstrong's TERRIFYING Warning to GOLD & SILVER Buyers​

 
Sitting on $81.30 right now, sold a very very tiny portion of the stash to make the rest be at zero acquisition cost (in fiat).
 
A good day went from -$68k to-$12k and loaded up at the bottom. Next leg up should be an all time high.
 

TOP Everything! - If You Own SILVER, You Need to See THIS NOW! | Clive Thompson​

The silver market is in crisis. Major dealers are now refusing buyers and placing customers on waitlists—physical silver is becoming impossible to find. As prices smash through all-time highs, a hidden supply collapse and government stockpiling are creating the perfect storm.

In this urgent interview with retired UBS wealth director Clive Thompson, you’ll discover:

Why bullion dealers are turning customers away and what this means for your stack
The real reason industrial users are panicking and hoarding silver right now
How China’s new export rules and U.S. strategic stockpiling are locking down supply
Why the debt crisis and CBDCs make physical silver a non-negotiable asset
Clive Thompson’s #1 strategy for buying silver safely in a volatile market
When and how to take profits without selling your core insurance stack

 
SD Bullion is saying Jan 23rd for more silver products. Premiums have also gone way up and at the same time buy back prices are way down. That part doesn't make sense to me. If you have really high demand why not offer more to sellers so you can sell at the higher premiums. Anyway, it is what it is.
 

TWO THINGSWITH SILVER NO ONE SEES COMING IN 2026!​

11
In this video, Lior Gantz of the Wealth Research Group reveals TWO THINGS no one see coming with silver in 2026! How high will the spot price of silver and gold? What upcoming policies and changes are likely to impact the price of silver? Is $100 or even $200 an ounce silver possible this year? Watch as Lior breaks down last year's run-up in the gold and silver markets and explains the two events no one is talking that could trigger a breakout in silver! Do you see them coming? Do you agree with Lior? Let me know in the comments below! Never before has stacking precious metals been as important to do as it is today. Protect yourself from out-of-control governments, evil central banks, and the failing US dollar's grip as the world's reserve currency. Make sure you build a stack of silver rounds, silver bars, silver coins, and gold coins as essential barter and wealth preservation!
 
I wonder


This is NOT normal.
@ASchectman
says that 63 MILLION ounces of silver just stood for physical delivery – when historically less than 1% of contracts ever do.
The takeaway?
The most well-funded, best-informed players on Earth – central banks, commercial banks, sovereign wealth funds – are quietly rejecting paper promises & demanding the real metal. They’re draining the exchanges while the media stays silent.
 
Thats 12,600 contracts. Wasn't me.
 
I would remind everyone that there is no discernible correlation between the contract deliveries and actual, physical withdrawals from the COMEX vaults. The COMEX vaults are draining, but the contract deliveries don't predict the draining behavior.
 
Wars have been fought for less


yeah, it's Ai but the message is correct!
 
A friend just sold a rental home in FL. I been working on him to buy gold and silver with the proceeds. You know he listened to me just like most other people and went out and bought a new boat.
 
If things get too bad I imagine there will be an EO banning the purchase of silver by us little people. For business use only. That solves the deficit problem.
 
I think when physical runs short there will be lots of M&A aka HL and EXK. Then there will be an acceleration in real price discovery which could bring spot price to new inflation adjusted highs of $200+.
 
Not sure how that would be Constitutionally valid.
 

Seems the Asian Guy has made quite a stir.

You have to be aware of the amount of AI “slop” out there and how easy it is to source, produce, and upload while living in a high-end loft in Bali for $700/month.

There is a reason why Merriam Webster’s 2025 Word of the Year was declared “slop.”

The amount of AI slop creeping its way into every part of society is hardly noticeable. Until it is. Especially, if you’re just going about your day like an average person. It’s hardly noticeable.

Recently, I became more aware of the AI slop entering the precious metals world.

Here’s the story:

This week I wrote a piece entitled, How Long Before Physical Silver Runs Out? (In 4 Charts). So I decided to highlight the consistent decline of physical silver in exchange vaults because all we really have to run on is the information we receive. Reliable or not…

That’s what we have.

And the truth is that silver is running out.

We don’t know when, but it seems like soon. Registered silver in London, the COMEX, and Shanghai vaults are all draining.

This where AI enters the chat.

I wasn’t exactly certain how much influence the Asian Guy had on the contrarian, precious metals community, and subscribers at dollarcollapse. Then I received a comment on my post and the light bulb lit up.

The conspiracy rabbit holes run deeper than I expected…

3 Sunday Morning Thoughts - January 11 Edition

Written by Bryan Lutz, Editor at Dollarcollapse.com: So, every Sunday morning I sit down to write a few thoughts. Sometimes these thoughts end up being about life, other times they are on gold, geopolitical issues affecting the markets, or the economy. Here are three thoughts for this morni

I'm getting a bit nervous.... bought a bunch of lotto ticket SLV calls back when it was like $50... or whenever it was I drew the charts comparing Dec delivery with Sep. Anywho those are expiring this Friday. Still have 10 $70 calls bought for real cheap. But its kinda crazy how much the account value bounces around now... It was a small trading account but still. Did peel off 2 on Friday.
 
Looks like new highs for gold and this move should negate that big red candle to the left as long as we close above it here.
 
Worth a look see

Silver price explodes this morning. Gaps up. Major bank rumour caused by AI fake story.​
