May deliveries right around the corner. Contracts are due:

https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/metals/precious/silver.volume.html

56015 x 5000 = 280,075,000 ounces of silver due for delivery in May

280,075,000 x 32.17 at time of writing = $9,010,012,750 in contracts due for May.

The price of silver last year May was appox where we are at right now.

In June last year they smashed the price down in the 28 range for July deliveries.

And remember that another reason the price of SLV and GLD is going down right now is because the market is down. There is a flight for safety into SLV and GLD. But they don't realize what they are doing to the price by doing so.

Here we go the big smash!!1 The market manipulators at work. Is this the buying opportunity before the move higher?

GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!!

Silver is about to breakout. It's about time, WEEEEEEEE!

Get a bag of pre-1965 90% silver dimes and quarters - that way you can use a dime to buy a loaf of bread when the wagon comes by each morning.

Thanks for your feedback Red. The digital reality is the one I'm trying to figure out. I do agree it is totally manipulated buy the banks
and controlled by them. This makes me feel like an ant in a sea of monsters. LOL

Thanks Red. Good stuff there. I'm a "buy-and-hold" as mentioned in the analyst report for AGQ.
Analyst Report
This ETF offers 2x daily long leverage to the Silver bullion, making it a powerful tool for investors with a bullish short-term outlook for silver. Investors should note that AGQ’s leverage resets on a daily basis, which results in compounding of returns when held for multiple periods. AGQ can be a powerful tool for sophisticated investors, but should be avoided by those with a low risk tolerance or a buy-and-hold strategy.

First thing I will say is this.

I believe that gold should be well over $10,000 per ounce and silver should be $1,000 per ounce

Remember that all the numbers that we believe are told to us by metal salesmen.

Gold to silver ratio used to be determined by the amount of silver removed from the ground while digging for gold. 15X more silver than gold.

Since the inception of the algorithm by Greenspan in the 80's and SLV/GLD the GtoS ratio is insignificant.

Here is the live chart I use:

https://goldprice.org/gold-silver-ratio.html

The reason that gold is outpacing silver right now is because silver futures contracts and mandatory deliveries of silver.

Here is another example if you use the amount of dollar creation compared to existing gold/silver reserves:

https://www.usdebtclock.org/

Dollar to silver ratio $1,104 per ounce
Dollar to gold ratio $8,550 per ounce

That is the ratio compared to dollar creation. That is closer to where the prices should be.

But since the implementation of the GLD and SLV markets, the prices can go wherever they allow them to go.

The banks hold gold on the balance sheets as an asset. As the price goes up on gold their balance sheet increases.
The banks have to deliver silver. The banks are contracted up to 1 year in advance for silver contracts.

I have shown you all this many times before. They WILL have to allow the price of silver to slowly rise. This will cause them losses. However they can offset those losses with gold profits.

They can slowly allow the price to rise and they can roll over, or create new silver contracts with higher prices. But they CAN'T allow the price of silver to explode. And they wont.

So there are 2 realities happening here.

There is the physical reality where there is an actual physical product. Gold and silver. And they mine those items and deliver them.

There is a digital reality that they use as a pricing mechanism for the gold and silver markets called SLV and GLD. SLV and GLD have infinite amounts of digits. They have the SLV and the GLD markets connected to their Algo that controls the pricing.

The silver squeeze 4 years ago proved that even if all the retail establishments and all the online dealers run out of physical silver the pricing mechanism will NOT allow the price of silver to rise. And as long as they have enough physical to fulfill their contracts it does not matter.

They can run this scam until all the metal is gone and they can still control the pricing via SLV and GLD.

If they wanted to they could smash the price of silver to 10 dollars per ounce. They could cause the GtoS ratio to climb to 500.

I have shown for years here that the delivery months and futures market is where it is at:

https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/metals/precious/silver.volume.html

The higher the bars the lower the price of silver. The lower the bars the higher the price of silver rises.

Contracts for delivery due on May, July, Sept, Dec, March

In the old physical reality we should all be selling our gold and buying silver. The ratio is all out of whack.

But in this new digital SLV GLD reality they can be whatever they want them to be.

It is all managed.

I am glad I got into AGQ when I did as I am reaping the rewards.

I am going to watch and see how high they let it go prior to May deliveries before I am back into ZSL.

Every metal stock moves the way SLV and GLD move. They all correlate. That is why I like to use the leveraged plays.

Use leveraged gold stocks if you want to play the gold market. This is not a definitive list, only a starting point. research.

https://etfdb.com/themes/leveraged-gold-etfs/

The markets only go where they allow/want them to go.

Good post. I agree

Hi Omar, the gold / silver ratio indicates silver should go higher. As that next poster said, they have some catching up to do.
Silver s/b in the mid thirty range,imo. Maybe Red can shed some light on that!!

The firm I'm with says GLDM is the play on gold. May be a bit late, unless the price continues its upward path.

re. "Anyone know of some gold stocks ?"
Yes. $GLD. But I'm here on this board due to the gold-silver ratio > 100.
Historically this ratio tracks between 50 and 70.
Any ratio > 100 tells two things:
(1) Recession indicator (people are dumping stock and buying gold.
(2) Silver has some catching up to do.

Pack10,




I like silver too, have a mountain of it, but gold making new highs lately, looks like over $3200 this morning. Silver can't even come close to their all time highs. Looks like AlwaysRed is right ! Anyone know of some gold stocks ? I loaded up with Provenance Gold as a speculative play.

Where are all the bulls for silver? I like physical because one can hold it in their hands and feel the wealth. Also, buying sivler is like
trading dollars to me.
Red, AGQ issues a K1, don't know why but I tend to stay away from for that reason.

You posted some information previously about National Standard Finance. We have a situation with them as counterpart.

Could we please get in contact?

You got the link working, but the video failed.

Video link failed. Here it is again:

I just bought a HUGE position in AGQ. Why? here is why:



We have all of April and through the month of May prior to May deliveries. The price of SLV just went below the 200 day moving average. The returns here will be great.

Look at that manipulation volume:

https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/metals/precious/silver.volume.html

Have not seen this type of futures volume since the squeeze.
Have not seen this type of SLV bargain since Covid when it got smashed to 12 dollars.

Will it go lower? Not sure. But I am sure the upside is better than the down.

Yeah.....Read the history of my posts. I've made a lot of people money here.

I've been hearing that Columbus discovered America for 52 years and that wasn't correct either.

I would give your post a 3 out of 10 as far as content. Most of it looks like you dreamed it up yourself. I have 52 years experience.

Think about Bitcoin. When Bitcoin rises or falls all cryptos move in the same fashion. They all follow suit. Because they are all derivatives of Bitcoin.

PSLV is a derivative of the silver market. All mining stocks are derivatives of the metal markets.

The reason I post on this board is because smart people will end up here knowing that SLV is the main manipulation tool for silver. Not PSLV not any mining stock not even PHYSICAL SILVER! SLV it the pricing mechanism.

There are a few manipulation tactics they use.

1) A computer algo that was created in the 80's by Alan Greenspan. It links all the markets together. The Dollar, the DOW, Oil etc. They are all connected.

2) SLV. SLV is the main culprit. The more SLV that is created the less value it has. They use SLV to manipulate the market.

3) SLV futures contracts. They use futures contracts, which determine the future price of silver, to control the price of silver so they can fulfill contracts at the contracted prices.

4) There are also entities that use naked shorts to manipulate the market. However that mechanism is outdated due to the power of SLV.

The physical silver shelves can be completely empty and the price of silver will remain the same due to the fact that SLV dictates the price of silver. The silver squeeze a few years ago proved that. No physical at any retail establishments or online and yet the price was controlled. Or what they called "Tamped"

There are endless digits to control and manipulate the price of SLV. Many of the same mechanisms are used to control GOLD. However gold isn't the same as silver. Gold is an asset to them. It is not industrially used and sold via futures contracts. The banks are liable to deliver at contracted prices. They use SLV to dictate/manipulate/control the price of silver. Period. Contrary to what your favorite metal salesman says...........

Look at what happened yesterday:

https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/metals/precious/silver.volume.html

They will use whatever tools necessary to not let the silver prices get out of control.

This is a video explaining how they controlled the silver market during the "squeeze" a few years ago:

Coming silver squeeze? Why silver price at $250-$500 is 'entirely possible' – Eric Sprott

The same way I explain GLD:

https://www.bullionvault.com/gold-price-chart.do

Then how do you explain PSLV ?

When the markets crash people bail into SLV for a "hedge"

https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/index/djia?mod=home_markets

What they don't understand is when you buy SLV you are creating SLV. The more of anything there is the less value it has.:

https://www.bullionvault.com/silver-price-chart.do

They are using a little more futures contracts to manage the price of silver right now:

https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/metals/precious/silver.volume.html

But the majority of the recent slam is due to SLV creation/demand by investors.

The silver market is managed with SLV.

AlwaysRed,




Slamming the metals lower than what they did all last month with all those thousands of contracts.....does that make any sense why didn't they do this when that had all those millions of ounces to deliver ?

I think he is referring to domestic producers

Please note; its also illegal to keep cash in safety deposit boxes at banks too...

I'm finding this market shall we say disconnected. Why is silver trading lower and gold higher? Will silver catch up?

The dealers seem to be flush with silver. Many deals at or near spot.

Should go up anyway, along with SLV. They never get too far apart.

Crowd

Watch PSLV Monday. The Reddit crows is at it again. 

No SLV is not silver. Glad you know that too. LMFBO.

Oh....It works that way. BTW SLV is not silver

Only trouble with physical is its harder to sell when you want to, else you keep it forever.

In any event physical is the way to go. 

LOL it doesn't work that way. Economy cratering means less demand for silver so silver goes down!

When there is market turmoil people flee from the market and run to SLV for stability. However when doing that they are creating SLV . This causes SLV to go DOWN in price:

https://www.bullionvault.com/silver-price-chart.do

The SLV market is so small it is easy to move.

This is why the SLV market goes down when the market is down and proves that buying SLV causes the creation of SLV and makes the market go DOWN.

SLV is the main tool for control.

That is a great idea. I was at the bank today
dropped the deposit box and had paper rolls
bust open. I don't think they were to happy

yes keep it out of any bank HAve a home safe you can hide and lock or a locable file cabinet

Thanks very much for your reply, yes what you're saying is what I worry about. Appreciated!

Here is an article about SLV manipulation.

https://www.zerohedge.com/precious-metals/mechanics-silver-price-suppression

However. Notice that the guy does not mention suppression at delivery times. And he also does not mention the way they use SLV to suppress the price of silver. He still believes that the only way they smash the price is via shorting.

If the market is suppressed via SLV rather than shorts there is less odds of a short squeeze.

He sounds like another metal salesman that wants to get people riled up and wanting to buy silver.

There are endless digits available to suppress silver.

Yes Bix Weir has been advocating keeping your metals in your own possession for a long time now. I can only tell you what I am doing for myself as I'm not qualified to give financial advise. For myself.................I keep all presious metal I own out of the banks. I wouldn't even have 90% silver in a safety deposit box.
Simply put......... I would not trust the banks or the government if all hell was to break lose. Banks can be locked down under those circumstances which I think is his reason for saying to have it in your own possession. If you don't hold it, you don't own it.
Gold was confiscated from safety deposit boxes back during the depression. People did get paid something like 50 cents over spot at that time , but still.
I can't imagine it coming to that but I don't know.
To me silver is more important than gold for various reasons, military being # 1 but there are countless other reasons as well. If they were to confiscate Gold again this time around, you can bet they would throw silver into the mix.
Bottom line..............I wouldn't be paranoid about it...............just keep a close eye on geopolitical happenings.

Thanks for posting that video, very interesting. One question, when he says "have your silver in your own possession" does that mean I should take my silver from my Banks safety deposit box and bring it home? Thanks for your time. I'm just a rookie In silver.

Yeah. I mean the metals markets "should" be in a bull market. They have been manipulated for a very long time. Silver especially.

Here is a 20 year gold chart:



And a 20 year silver:



If the price of silver followed the price of gold, the price of silver would be around 80 - 90 dollars per ounce.

They can't let that happen.

Gold is an asset. It is not used industrially. Silver is. Futures contracts and physical delivery.

All markets are under their control. The metal markets especially. Computers control the markets.

Silver deliveries and futures markets. Important. The computers have endless digits to manipulate the markets.

Remember the metal salesmen tell us that silver is like gold but on steroids. The price of silver is supposed to LEAD the price of gold. Maybe before computers that may have been true. They control it.
