The volatile week in the gold and silver markets has continued on Thursday, with the gold price moving around quite a bit, but roughly flat on the day, while silver is another $2 lower at the moment.
I also agree. It's mighty refreshing to have my dissident views reflected in Chris' take on geopolitics. We're in the midst of a CF of epic proportions. Let's at least keep our heads screwed on straight...
The acronym "CF" has multiple meanings, most commonly "confer" (compare) in academic/legal writing (from Latin confer) or Cash Flow in business/finance, but it can also mean Cystic Fibrosis, Californium, Center Field, or Carried Forward, depending on the context.
The silver backwardation combined with elevated Comex deliveries in an inactive month is probaly the most underreported part of this story. Most coverage focuses on price action, but when spot trades 25 cents above March futures while delivery demand stays high, that's telling you something about physical tightness that futures positioning can't fully capture. I remmeber when backwardation used to be a rare event that got everyone's attention, but now it seems like the market's just accepting it as normal.
I voted for Trump knowing promises about Epstein, and no new wars would NOT be kept. The point of voting for Trump gave me an extra year or so to get ready,,, a year or so I would have immediately lost by voting for Kamala.
You have to wonder what Trump is listening to every day, who has his ear, and how they are manipulating him. I bet the same system that got Biden, is now controlling Trump.
Aside from the world falling apart,,, TOMORROW, tomorrow we might get a supreme court decision on Trump's tariff. Remember how that drove the metals price down by 20-30%? What happens if they decide the tariff's are unconstitutional, is there gonna be a huge bounce up?
I went back all in today planing on tomorrow,,, could be the biggest day EVER, ORRRrrrrrrr, could be a train wreck. Like Vince said, he's out by the 5th,,, but I can't resist the temptation of the tariff decision, I just don't see the courts deciding in Trump's favor.
There's a lot of truth in your rant. I voted for Trump, but given that he's talking about taking Canada, various South American countries, Greenland, etc., I've started to question that decision (although there was really no decision given that the alternative was Kamala Harris). My initial thought was that it was just Trump's hyperbole/"art of the deal" shit. But after the Maduro thing I'm not so sure. I'm worried that the success of the operation has emboldened him to try some bigger stuff.
Did you actually see the ballot when you were voting for POTUS? There were seven candidates, including an advocate for sound money.
Did you question why you were blocked from hearing about all the candidates except the three mainstreamers (Trump, Harris and Kennedy), and subtly dissuaded from ‘leaving the plantation’ even far enough to vote for the less administratively favored Kennedy? Have you ever considered choosing someone who was illegally and effectively prohibited from fully competing as a candidate, just to send a message that you don’t approve of being restricted in your choices? Are you too scared if “spoiling your vote” to move off the political plantation?
What if every American grew some spine, and decided that we are through with caring how our neighbors vote? By golly, we’re going to support whoever WE choose, and stop being intimidated by the specter of “spoiling our votes”? What might happen? A total surprise that a candidate not controlled by AIPAC and the globalist banking cartel might get swept into power? Wouldn’t THAT throw a wrench into the planned political/social/economic trajectory? Sure, there would likely be an ‘unfortunate accident’ before much could be changed, but that would help expose the matrix, and the waking up and rebellion of the American citizenry would absolutely scare the living crap out of the powers behind our throne.
Do we have the courage to go there? Or would we rather remain so hypnotized all the way to the slaughter house, that we refuse to even acknowledge open escape routes when they’re placed in front of our noses?
They laugh at their cattle when they see their breeding program has produced animals so passive and dumbed down, that they push and shove each other into the slaughter line when the pasture gate remains wide open.
This all makes a LOT more sense - and becomes even more terrifying - if seen through the lens that, for many decades, now (at last back to Woodrow Wilson and and in some form much longer), the driving force behind the American government has been Zionist Judaism.
When you have a group of ultimate fanatics who believe their Godly mission is, quite literally, to exterminate or enslave the rest of humanity, and ruin the earth to prepare it for the return of their god and their rapture off to eternal reward, then some really nutty things can happen.
Look at how much currency AIPAC and the Adelsons (or Miriam Adelson, now) throws into campaigns for Congress and POTUS, and then wonder why “our representatives” keep making stupid decisions and getting us embroiled in scandalous behavior. Cui bono? And the funding flows all while AIPAC is conveniently exempted from having to register as a foreign agent! Ask why? That should begin to cast some light on who’s really running things in “America”, and why both our foreign policies and our domestic tax policies are so insanely aggressive.
It also gives a clue as to why sound money is so reviled by our entire government. Inflation and derivatives are both highly effective stealth weapons of mass destruction, while having the bonus of wealth transfer to those at the top so they can enjoy our labor until the global bubble bursts and they collect their final, eternal bonus for a job well done. Nothing like beating up the other kids on the playground, stealing their lunch money and then kicking them in contempt while they’re down, but that IS the Zionist way.
This is your 2nd mistake (IMHO) Chris. (Your first was displaying your anger during the blackout.)
If you want to be a PM advocate, then be a PM advocate. If you want to be a political commentator, then be a political commentator.
But understand that these mistakes can be used against you to undermine your value as a PM advocate and although I and many of your readers may agree with and understand your political questions, ranting, and assessment, you can save many more people and families by advocating for them to fully embrace SOUND money, unless you destroy your credibility with them if they differ from your political viewpoints.
I agree with ur assessent at bottom today's note. Thank you for the courage to spill ink on truth.

CF?
Distinctly more rude than the options you've offered. Think cluster...
After reading the article.... i just question everthing now...as far as metals... its starting to feel like a commodities war... Great read Chris....

we're definitely witnessing some unprecedented events...
Thank you for the commentary on 9/11. It's not often that these doubts are raised in the mainstream.

At 1.5 trillion Trump must have a good amount of gunboat diplomacy planned.
