Dedollarization?

Not so much:

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/de-dollarization-was-always-more-political-slogan-pecuniary-fact

"They couldn’t realistically de-dollarize in the way that the most dogmatic ideologues imagined without immense cost to themselves or replacing their dependence on the US/dollar with China/the yuan."

I am not 100% sure how they operate this scam.

Perhaps many of the contracts don't need to be delivered at all.

But if there are contracts that were set 1 year ago and the company that bought the silver contracts does NOT need the silver to be delivered they may have those contracts moved forward and renegotiated. If the economy is not doing well or a company like Sony is not doing well they may not need their contract delivered. If they don't need it delivered they can move that contract forward.

Perhaps the contracts are just paper contracts, fraudulent contracts that never need to be filled. Just simply a tool for market manipulation. They can do whatever they want with those contracts. I am not sure because I don't work there.

But I am sure that they leave the actual physical deliveries for last.

All I can do is to tell you to look at the delivery months and look at the price fluctuation. Look at the charts. Do the best you can with the knowledge you have. Timing the exact top and bottom is very difficult. But there is enough of a fluctuation in the prices to accommodate large gains even if you don't hit the exact top or bottom. I am always more comfortable buying at the bottom and watching the price go up rather than shorting at the top and watching the price go down.

Maybe you should just wait for contracts to be filled and buy at the bottom and watch the price rise.

Missing 10% at the top or bottom for me does not matter when there is a 50% play. Even a 10% gain in a 2 month flip is equal to what a money manager promises you for a 1 year gain. 10% in 2 months X 6. That is a decent yearly gain.

I do much better than that. It can be done. There is a high probability that you can gain 30% or better each flip.

My ZSL right now is at a 12% gain. I hope to gain 30%. I am better at up than down. Then I am back into AQG. My last AGQ gain was 18%. The silver price stalled shy of 33. I thought I'd get 35. Didn't happen. I did not hit the bottom. I did not hit the exact top. I seldom do. But there is plenty of profit. There is plenty of leeway. The silver price last flip only moved from 29-33. It was not the best flip. I'll happily take my 18%.

My ZSL being at 12% currently with the amount of silver left to deliver for March is amazing. If ZSL goes to 40 bucks it will make me very happy.

AGQ drops to 34 and I am very happy. I am a buyer of AGQ at SLV 28.xx.

I would love to see SLV dance between 26-28 and 32-35.

Slowly sell and take profits on the way up and if you don't hit the bottom with your buys. Buy the dips/smashes. Average up or down.

The idea is to play the range the best the YOU can. Some flips are better than others. All gains are good. The template is there.

Alwaysred,



I don't have this all figured out and even though you likely are explaining as simple as possible so bare with me.


They fill the higher ones first and then keep dropping the price to get the rest ?


Also, I will add, you got this drop right but March of 2024 it didnt do the same....

Now last year I bought year AGQ early and sold because I was up big and sold before March expecting a drop and I bought ZSL and from beginning of March to end of March the silver price rose, lucky I got out before losing my AGQ gains but it didnt do what I thought it would do in March last year.

So it doesn't do the same every time it seems ?

I think they moved those contracts forward and didn't fill them. And when they moved them forward they may have moved them at a new, higher contracted price.

Slowly raising the bar.

My comments are not always directed towards you specifically. But to the board in general. There are a lot of people watching.

Hopefully learning.

Funny thing is if I started a monthly subscription talking about how silver was in shortage and that it was going to the moon etc etc. I could probably make money preaching the silver God.

But I am here offering FREE knowledge and information on how to make oodles of money off the manipulated silver market and it is such a struggle to get people to remove themselves from the matrix. It literally has taken years and there are many who still believe the propaganda peddlers. When the evidence is historical. Month after month year after year of documented proof simply by looking at the charts. The historical silver chart shows concretely that what I am saying and have been doing for years is true. And the historic silver chart proves that what the metal salesmen have been repeating for years is incorrect.

The proof is in the pudding they say.

The only reasons I am still here in SLV and on this board is for profit and vindication.

Alwaysred,


"1 year ago the price of silver was 24.31

I'm not exactly sure when the contracts were set. I am not exactly sure how much they were set at."


I'm really confused if the price of silver was around $24-28 last year March, then why did they deliver those 50 million for around $31 ? Why not between $24-28 ? Wouldn't that more gains for them ?

Alwaysred,


There are 5000 ounces per contract.

5006X5000=25,030,000

25,030,000 ounces X Current silver price (31.16)= $779,934,800

So 3/4 of a BILLION dollars worth of silver yet to deliver for March

1 year ago the price of silver was 24.31"


I'm not frustrated or profiting on silver at the moment. Just thought that was large delivery 50,000 million ounces.

.

There are 5000 ounces per contract.

5006X5000=25,030,000

25,030,000 ounces X Current silver price (31.16)= $779,934,800

So 3/4 of a BILLION dollars worth of silver yet to deliver for March

1 year ago the price of silver was 24.31

I'm not exactly sure when the contracts were set. I am not exactly sure how much they were set at.

But let's look at those prices.

31.16 - 24.31 = $6.85 difference between current silver prices and prices last year.

779,934,800 X $6.85 difference per ounce from this year to last = $5,342,553,380 Billion dollar difference.

Who takes that loss?
How can that loss be reduced?
I believe that the actual physical deliveries are left for last. They often simply move contracts that don't need to be filled forward. You are seeing that now as they are moving contracts to May.

Were the contracts set at 24 dollars last year? I don't know. I still believe that we are going between 26 and 28 dollars.

Remember they are making money on the way up and down on these moves. So I have no idea where their average is.

But I know this for sure. This is how they do it:



4 weeks of gains for silver longs gone in 1 week.

Are you frustrated or are you profiting?

Just to give you an idea what you are missing if you are holding long and not playing the game.

Here is a chart of ZSL. The silver short:



Look at the stochastics. Fantastic. Flippers dream. I'm not going to get to technical here, but if you overlap these charts with the delivery months you will notice something special.

30-32 to 40-42 dollars. Back and forth.

A very modest 1000 share purchase can gain you 10,000 dollars per flip.

Now lets look at AGQ:



Same deal. delivery months. Stochastics.

30 - 50 possible. But typically 34-44. Again, a ten dollar flip.

Same deal. 1000 shares = 10K

Now I am telling you that the volume on these stocks can accommodate the price of a house with the click of a mouse.

Say you buy 10,000 shares of AGQ it goes up 10 bucks. Math.......

Remember this flip game is done bi-monthly accept from Sept to Dec and Dec to March. 3 month flip on those.

Now lets say you buy physical and hold it long. 26 to 35 back to 26 to 35 back to 26 to 35. Your profit is minimum. Only the appreciation they allow you to have. Listen to the metal salesmen. Silver to the moon. Never talk about futures contracts and the power of SLV and GLD. I know I know silver shortage. But yet there is silver in the ground everywhere.

I've been doing this for years. I've been trying to teach this for years. And I'm the idiot.

Of course we see it

Have you been watching?:

Here is the SLV Volume lately. You see the smashes on the 14th and yesterday?

Look at that steady increase in volume. The higher the bars, the lower the silver price. Simple.

Look at the volume bars on the graph that coincide with the smashes:





The metal market is controlled by SLV and GLD. SLV especially.

Contracts are needing delivery for March at the contracted prices set 1 year ago.

It does not matter if there is only 100 physical ounces of silver left on earth the metal market prices will still be determined by SLV. Endless digits.

The metal salesmen will tell you there is a shortage of metal. Then why is there metal EVERYWHERE? In the ground assayed and ready to go. Metal. Everywhere.

26-28 by the end of March and then we see an increase in price prior to May deliveries.

Month after month, year after year. Same story.

And the metal salesmen keep saying the same things with the same result. They are wrong.

That has nothing to do with the bouillon banks

Here's a look on the physical side.

Went to a coin show over the weekend. Every place I stopped offered silver at close to spot pricing. Everyone!!!

Not the case with gold. Almost no proofs. What was out there was well over spot, which is normal.

It will be interesting to see if silver will break below $30.00 an oz

Can't wait.

I just sold all my AGQ and long positions. I have bought heavily into ZSL.

I am expecting ZSL to go between 42 and 44 dollars.

Last month for the fist time I was long AGQ and SHORT ZSL. Fantastic! Shorting a short. LOL

I am expecting silver between 26 and 28 dollars over the next month.

Could be hopefully it is
The manipulation is just so clear and I don't understand how they keep getting away with this

Force majeure ?

For not being a delivery month, they sure have sold a lot of contracts so far this month!
Read somewhere over 4000 contracts so far and the month isn't over yet.
What happens next month which is a delivery month?

Based on the information provided, the world is currently facing a significant silver deficit, consuming 1.3 billion ounces of silver per year while only producing 830 million ounces through mining, indicating that old mines are being depleted faster than new sources are being discovered and developed, leading to a potential supply shortage.
Key points:
High consumption:
Global silver consumption is significantly higher than production at 1.3 billion ounces compared to 830 million ounces produced annually.
Depleting mines:
The deficit is likely due to older silver mines being depleted, unable to keep up with the current demand.
Potential supply issues:
This gap between consumption and production could lead to future challenges in securing enough silver to meet industrial and investment needs. $SLV

Now the tough part. Slowly removing yourself from your long position on the way up prior to the delivery smash.

It has been a fun profitable run.

Soon we will be removing from our long positions and swinging to ZSL prior to March deliveries.

I've only been following The Freedom Report for the last couple years, and Rob has always been calm, cool and collective in his reporting. In this video he goes completely off the rails than what I'm used to seeing from him! Maybe I just haven't watched him enough...........I don't know.
This is a must watch!!

You are right. Should be just before March deliveries are due.

I am long silver right now heavily. I am expecting 32-35 dollar silver prior to March deliveries and then your prediction will come true.

Get ready fellow investors!! SLV is going to move into the buy column pretty soon. Yes I can see it now, SLV @ 27.00, maybe 24.00

Also, time to buy physical. But, hold on let it fall another 5% then go all in!!!

It's nice to see people actually thinking and not just parroting metal salesmen:

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/do-money-supply-deficits-qe-create-inflation

"While Michael argued during the debate that increased “money printing” would lead to higher inflation and interest rates, there is a reason that hasn’t occurred outside of the Pandemic shutdown. The reason is that the government is not “printing” money.

“All money is lent into existence.”

Read that again.

When the government needs to pay for obligations that exceed current revenues, the U.S. Treasury issues debt. That debt is sold to the primary dealers, who purchase it and provide capital for the Government to meet its obligations. If the Treasury Department could just “print” money, there would be no need to issue debt. This is why debt issuance has increased over the last four decades: to meet the continued shortfall between government spending and incoming revenue, known as the “federal deficit.”

Our currency is not FIAT! All money is debt. It is borrowed into existence at interest.

Money is being made by those that hold the debt. Debt is what backs our currency. If you want to make money off of our currency, buy interest bearing debt instruments.

The problem is that the only place where the money can come from to pay the interest is by borrowing more debt money.

What is a junior miner?

Let's learn for those that may not know.

Here is some information on junior miners:

https://www.zimtu.com/what-is-junior-mining/

Notice that the first thing that junior miners do is explore. So they look for metal in the ground.
The next think they do is discover metal. They actually find the metal
Then they define what the metal is that they found. They assay the land.
Then they mine.

So there are companies out there, private companies that explore and find metals. They then sell to the big boys.

https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/what-are-junior-miners-and-are-they-good-investment-updated-2024

"Junior miners have one of the toughest jobs in the mining industry: finding mineral deposits. The kicker is that many of these mineral exploration companies don’t actually generate revenue to finance their exploration activities."

So the junior miner spends their time and money finding metals. They find metals and sell what they found to the big boy.

"Rather, junior miners must present an attractive value proposition to accredited investors. They may then decide to take an equity position in the company, often through private placements."

So the little guy does all the work. Finding metals. And then have the big boys do the work. And they get a finders fee.

Now listen, I could literally list these junior miners all day. There are literally TENS OF THOUSANDS of them. But we'll simply start here:

https://juniorminers.com/

All you need to do is look up junior miners.

There is SO much metal in the ground. It is literally everywhere.

But the metal salesmen don't teach you that do they? Why not?

Why is the silver mine production stable decade after decade?

https://www.statista.com/statistics/253286/us-silver-mine-production-since-2005/

Does it have to do with supply and demand?

So if the demand goes up they increase the amount mined right? Why is there so much silver in the ground unmined? Why is the amount produced/mined at a sustained level for decades?

If there was an increased demand for silver there would be an increase in production right? But there isn't, it is steady. But there is metal in the ground everywhere right!?!? I've just shown you that. So why is it all just sitting there? If there was an increase in demand they would start to mine this already assayed land!

But they are not. Silver production has been the same for decades. Why? It is there to mine. Silver is available.

So where is this fictitious shortage?

The short squeeze did NOTHING to even dent the production of silver. Sure local and online dealers ran out due to an immediate increase in demand. But that all worked itself out didn't it? Remember the sky was falling. I was told time after time. And I was the only voice saying that retail will fill back up. It's no big deal. And it wasn't.

Here we are STILL business as usual.

This silver shortage thing has been parroted for decades. When will people learn that there is no shortage. How long can the metal salesmen keep pulling this trick?

Ugh......

Have you been there?

Have you been there? You been in their books? Have you seen their stockpile?

Where are you getting this info? Which metal salesman?

LBMA is short on silver 

LOL

If they were getting out of their shorts the price would be going up.

There is silver everywhere. There is no shortage of silver.
