Do you think a force majure is coming soon? I hope these criminals are called on the carpet soon.

Some bullion bank is going to blow a tire and then it is on.

Not technically a bullion bank but their participation in the price manipulation is legendary

What do you think is most likely? Our central bank not rolling over it's gold loan, many long derivitive contracts taking delivery, or miners failing to deliver physical to settle their gold loans?

Delivery to a spot contract holder in London will be demanded and the contract counterparty/seller will default. Indeterminate who the defaulting party will be. Silver is the least liquid market. In the end, nobody knows.

Thanks, David...

In 1975 Lennon emerged from a New York courthouse having finally been granted his green card. Asked by the press if he bore a grudge against Nixon & company for the shoddy treatment he’d received, he smiled, and without missing a beat, in classic, sardonic, scouser-Lennon style, rejoined, “Time wounds all heels!”

To better times!

Great line.

I wonder if this is before or after Lennon wrote the Communist anthem Imagine.

Imagine c. 1971

They are flying the good stuff over from London to NY a few tons a day in airplanes now - because some goofy politician said something. Or not. Or maybe.

There's nothing new under the sun.

Trying to keep down the price of a commodity is one thing, trying to keep down the price of a commodity in huge and increasing industrial demand, with a supply deficit and dwindling stock is insanity.

When silver blows, it will be like a huge elastic band that has been over years stretched way beyond its design limits, then suddenly failing explosively!

Looks like Japan is going to raise rates later in the week, when they raised rates last August this caused major turbulence on global markets. The Nikkei went down 17% over 5 days last time they raised rates and bitcoin during this period fell $20k in one week alone. This market is ripe for a flash crash at anytime now i believe, which could increase demand for gold and silver.

Isn't it in China's interest to keep the charade going longer? Or, are they ready for fireworks?

I think diminishing returns. Gut your silver for transfer to the West while a fraudulent system collapses.

My sense is that we are toeing into a ramp-up in demand that will become exponential.

China does NOT like silver money but there is only so much you can do.

In the recent past, the Chinese government had encouraged it's citizens to buy gold. A few months ago they told the people to buy silver.

As you and many readers have come to realize, "The market is controlled."

This may seem OT. It is not. This whole video is relevant to everyone:
