Very, very interesting article on how a dozen companies own Cede & co "Cede technically owns substantially all of the publicly issued stock in the U.S.(street name) Investors do not themselves hold direct property rights in stock, but rather have contractual rights that are part of a chain of contractual rights involving Cede" https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2015-07-14/banks-forgot-who-was-supposed-to-own-dell-shares

What would the 10 yr treasury yield have to be for you to feel the market was in trouble? (that's if the USD stays the same)

Does anyone know of a platinum or palladium ETF that is liquid?

I think they're pulling cash out of the bond market to provide liquidity to the MM's so they can pump up and play the SLV game. YES! Also to pump up stocks.

It's time to get it on boys and girls! 😃 😃 😃

Beware of paper gold and silver:

https://finance.zacks.com/difference-between-options-futures-forwards-2815.html

"it is possible that the futures exchange could just elect to settle contracts in cash in a worst-case scenario."

So the physical silver could be trading at $100 an ounce but paper silver could at $20. On expiry day, someone like JPM can push it down to even $10 and give the buyer $10

I wonder if all these paper products have any meaning at all if this is the case.

If gold and silver go significantly lower, we buy the dip.

They have been talking like this for years. It's irrelevant.

Bond yields are a loose cannon that the cabal controls and can use to shoot down our trading plans at any time by surprise.

FED should come in any time now and start buying all the bonds to push rates down. That will crash the dollar

so be in the bond market then?

Nope imo because no one knows when they would increase buying. Secondly, they may buy just enough bonds to keep the prices where they are now. Thirdly it's way too slow of a move when it comes to bonds. I short TMV from time to time whenever FED chatter starts but it's not worth it. There are better opportunities available.

sorry to hear... we can only do so much before we become a nag be careful especially if our opinion is not asked for. I know a guy who lives in his old rv at a movie theater. There are people who will barter rent for 24 hour "security" good luck
