    Supply/demand is a funny thing. The cost of the last barrel of oil determines the spot price for delivery today. The cost of the silver spot will be determined by the last oz available for delivery, immediately on demand. Ditto gold.

    I still haven’t decided yet if I am excited or mortified.

    The BRICS countries overtook the G7 countries share of the world's total gross domestic product (GDP) in terms of purchasing power parity (PPP) over 6 years ago. The BRICS countries have already surpassed America and all Western Nations in GDP and they are only in their infancy.
    They also control the majority of the Global food supply, resources and commodities and own 40 % of the Global oil supply. If Western nations continue on their idiotic self destructive couse we will all be speaking Mandarin and or Russian in the near future.

    Back on July 31st, I took about half of the contents of my nest-egg money market account (about $30K-ish) and sank it into gold and silver bullion.

    Patting myself on the back, now. Could it be I actually had good timing, for once? :rolleyes:

    Hmm. I guess time will tell. I’m going to hold it for the rest of the year- in fact, until after the presidential inauguration in January- to wait and see what happens.

    I’ve been buying GLD & SLV, ETFs. Same direction, different lane

    I just had to look up “ETFs” in order to have the slightest inkling of what that is.

    Badic “lumps of metal” I can wrap my head around. Everything else in the investment world… not so much. :rolleyes:

    It’s hard for me to look back and remember what my life was like before Wikipedia. ;)

    The Five US banks that are shorting silver are down over a billion in losses just from Friday's move.
    I don't believe they will take a billion dollar loss quietly lol.
    It's gonna get crazy.
    Curious to see how the Asian markets react this evening.

    The same place. Just remember they are a day ahead of us caused by the International Date Line.

    How about that? All these years I was dead convinced in my mind that those tickers shut off at 5pm on Friday and didn’t start up again until 8am Monday. Thanks!

    Screen shot of current silver spot price from APMEX. Asian markets open.

    Seems odd seeing silver at these prices. Odd in a good way

    A little dip on SLV this morning. Bought another 20 oz equivalent
    Now if GLD is affected by the morning stock selloff, I’ll hit that on the dip.
