Transcript
- 0:01Nothing short of unbelievable developments in the silver and
- 0:06gold markets, but guys, confidence in the western
- 0:09markets is eroding. And just when we thought it
- 0:12couldn't get any more bizarre, we had what happened yesterday,
- 0:16but it's happening on a much larger scale and it and it signs
- 0:20for us good things to come for the silver and gold markets.
- 0:25Let's start by talking about news out of India, and then
- 0:28we're going to dive deep into the Olmex.
- 0:30We are in a new world, a new paradigm for the precious
- 0:34metals. Let's go out to India though,
- 0:36because India gave us some what I think shocking news right
- 0:41here. Breaking huge.
- 0:43India now will no longer use the LBMA for gold and silver pricing
- 0:49that comes from Reuters. OK, from Reuters.
- 0:52What this tells us in no uncertain terms right, is that
- 0:57the confidence in the Western markets is becoming less and
- 1:01less confident. People are starting to question
- 1:06the LBMA and the COMEX. And on top of that, let's head
- 1:10out here. This is interesting subject on
- 1:15the same article. I'm sorry, on the same subject,
- 1:18India's gold ETF valuation shift domestic prices to now replace
- 1:24the LBMA in this, this one paragraph says it all.
- 1:28On April 1st, Indian Gold and Silver Exchange traded funds
- 1:31will shift from valuing physical holdings using the London
- 1:35Bullion Market Association morning fixing prices to
- 1:39employing pulled spot prices from recognized domestic
- 1:44exchanges. Hold on here, OK.
- 1:47This regulatory change, driven by the Securities and Exchange
- 1:51Board of India in Orange, aims to ensure valuation accuracy,
- 1:59reflects local market conditions and fosters greater
- 2:03transparency. 2 key things in that sentence.
- 2:05They're going away from the Western benchmarks for for gold
- 2:09and silver prices because they want to ensure valuation
- 2:14accuracy. OK?
- 2:17So aren't they saying that maybe they don't think the LBMA and
- 2:20the COMEX are accurate, but on top of that, they want to foster
- 2:24greater transparency, OK. This is a big signal that
- 2:28confidence is beginning to erode in these Western markets, the
- 2:33COMEX paper futures market, the LBMA spot market.
- 2:37We're going to dive into all that right now because yesterday
- 2:41we had a another massive event at the COMEX.
- 2:45When the COMEX trading was halted yet again, guys, there's
- 2:48a lot to cover on this. And a lot of people who were
- 2:51naysayers of the COMEX manipulation theory are now
- 2:56saying, you know what, maybe there's something to that after
- 2:59all. But let's talk about what this
- 3:01means, what happened, and what we can expect in the future.
- 3:05Oh, shoot, I forgot. Hold on.
- 3:07One more thing on India. Chris Martenson, this is this is
- 3:10great. Hold on.
- 3:11Let's get this up for you. Now you can see it.
- 3:14Chris Martenson said this about what's happening with II caught
- 3:19Jane St. more on them. Oh gosh, got also there's a new
- 3:23player in the silver manipulation world, Jane St.
- 3:26We're going to teach you about that in a little bit.
- 3:29But India caught Jane St. manipulating its markets and
- 3:33kick them out. That's he's referring to what we
- 3:35just talked about, that India will now be using their own
- 3:39pricing mechanism to price silver in their ETS.
- 3:42China caught accounts abusing its paper silver markets and
- 3:47immediately closed accounts. Then he says, congratulations,
- 3:50America, you have the most obviously corrupt quote UN quote
- 3:55markets on the face of the planet, worse than India's and
- 3:59worse than China's. OK, now let's move over to what
- 4:03happened on the COMEX yesterday. The shutdown the cartel
- 4:06unleashes on gold and silver after the CME trading halt.
- 4:12We've got a lot to cover on this guy Silver.
- 4:15So they they stopped trading on the COMEX, which is very
- 4:18unusual. They'd be like if the New York
- 4:20Stock Exchange shut down for an hour, right?
- 4:22Remember the quote UN quote flash crash?
- 4:25You may remember that from what, 15-16 years ago?
- 4:28I mean, this is a big deal and this is not the first time this
- 4:31has happened. More on that in a second.
- 4:33But silver after this quote UN quote trading glitch that halted
- 4:37trading for about about an hour and a half silver got slammed by
- 4:41$3 gold got smashed by $70.00. The bullion banks operations
- 4:46appear to have been launched in an attempt to prevent silver
- 4:49from going from breaking out above $92 per oz because the
- 4:54silver price in particular have been way up at that point.
- 4:57Things are getting very interesting as we approach first
- 5:01notice day in March silver. So here's right an outline of
- 5:05the gold market. You can see the red box after
- 5:08trading resumed right smash down and let's look at silver after
- 5:13it. Wow, silver really got hammered.
- 5:15Look at that smash down in the in the silver market.
- 5:19Now I want to remind you the same thing happened on November
- 5:2428th, the day after Thanksgiving.
- 5:26I'm going to look you in the eye before we do that.
- 5:29We got a lot more to cover guys, but the most important thing we
- 5:31got to cover is you. Yes, you basement dwellers down
- 5:34here in the basement with me. Thank you.
- 5:36I hope you feel like you found a home away from home.
- 5:39Come back and the number one way that you can ensure you come
- 5:41back is by pressing that subscribe button giving this
- 5:44video thumbs up. Leave a comment in the comment
- 5:46section. We want to hear from you.
- 5:49Trust me, you don't have to agree with me, right?
- 5:52That's how we learn is from each other.
- 5:53And you're smart, right? You got a little more
- 5:56intellectual horsepower than the average bear.
- 5:58And please, super chats never expected, always appreciated.
- 6:02But let's talk about the shutdown at the Comex.
- 6:05OK, this one and we're going to dig into this one that happened
- 6:08yesterday a little bit more, but let's remember the day after
- 6:11Thanksgiving, they shut down the COMEX when the market was
- 6:14exploding higher again because of cooling issues.
- 6:18Need I remind you that the Lomex data center is like in the
- 6:22suburbs of Chicago? And on that day where they had a
- 6:26cooling issue, I think the temperature was like -45°.
- 6:30It was cold, OK #2 the speculation is that they're
- 6:36doing this to save the shorts. But #3 when we look back at
- 6:40November 28th, do you know what silver was that when they shut
- 6:43shut down the markets last time in November, just what, two
- 6:46months, three months ago, $55 per oz.
- 6:49From that point forward, it raised from 55 all the way to
- 6:53120. So I think we got a lot more to
- 6:57cover on this subject. It's crazy.
- 6:59The other insane thing they did yesterday was they closed out
- 7:04all, all of the orders, OK? It's it's nuts what they're
- 7:07doing. This came from Guru Focus, the
- 7:10CME Group. OK, and I'm going to tell you
- 7:12about the CME Group, the difference between the CME
- 7:15Group, the Comex and the Nymex in a little bit.
- 7:18But they announced and they're that they're basically saying
- 7:21the Comex, Comex order cancellations on metals and
- 7:25natural gas contracts. So not only did they shut shut
- 7:29the market down, but they cancelled all the orders, all
- 7:32the day orders from that from yesterday, from Wednesday and
- 7:36also the good to date orders with Wednesday as the date, OK.
- 7:41They basically wiped out all the Wednesday specific orders, which
- 7:46is very strange. The good to cancel orders,
- 7:48meaning the ones that are out there forever.
- 7:50They remained active. But the COMEX is becoming are
- 7:56you feeling it? Like I'm feeling it.
- 7:57Look, I was never a huge huge like, oh, the comex is you know,
- 8:02I, I, I never believed the comex.
- 8:04I know the theories and people. I was never a huge like
- 8:07proponent of constantly talking about price manipulation.
- 8:11But are you starting to feel it because I wrote this down and I
- 8:14think it, I think it describes the situation at the at the
- 8:17comex. They are becoming aggressively
- 8:20fictional and wait till you hear about China and minus price
- 8:24right now. But the COMEX in the LBMA are
- 8:27becoming increasingly fictional. Maybe you like fiction, I don't
- 8:32know, but we don't like it when it comes to quote UN quote
- 8:35pricing silver. And it sure feels like it's
- 8:38coming to an end. OK, now let's talk about the
- 8:41COMEX default that everybody's all up about the blow up at the
- 8:45COMEX not being able to deliver, blah, blah, blah.
- 8:49There's a lot of different theories.
- 8:50I don't think that it's going to happen immediately.
- 8:53I hope I'm wrong, OK, I hope I'm wrong on that.
- 8:57But David Morgan brought up a very good point and David Morgan
- 9:01has been in this shoot. Did I forget to show that?
- 9:04There's the Guru focus article and here we go.
- 9:09Here's David Morgan what he has to say about this likelihood of
- 9:13a comex complete blow up right away.
- 9:15He says the fact is the COMEX is not going to default in March.
- 9:20Contracts are being liquidated or rolled in an orderly fashion.
- 9:25This is normal every delivery month.
- 9:27Yet we continue to see statements that the COMEX is
- 9:30being drained and and that the default is imminent.
- 9:34OK, So they're either, what he's saying is the contracts are
- 9:37either being rolled forward to what is it, the May contract I
- 9:41think is the next one, or they're being cashed out.
- 9:44Basically, they're being cancelled out, closed out,
- 9:46however it works. But at minimum we know that
- 9:50there is massive, massive stress right now in the COMEX, in the
- 9:54COMEX markets. And Vince Lancey put something
- 9:57out yesterday. And again, he's not a he's super
- 10:00respected, not a sky is falling sensational type person when it
- 10:05comes to talking about these metals markets.
- 10:07And I think he even was worked on the floor at the maybe the
- 10:10Nymex. I'm going to tell you are the
- 10:12are the COMEX in New York. I mean this guy knows what he's
- 10:15talking about, but he had a little bit different
- 10:18perspective. This is interesting to hear how
- 10:21Vince sees what's going on. He says this and that's VBLS
- 10:26Ghost on X. He says COMEX de risk is real.
- 10:31The COMEX open interest continues to decline as bullion
- 10:36banks cover their shorts into liquidate and into liquidating
- 10:40long funds in the most amazing bullion rally in history.
- 10:47While we love when you say that, that's I can just hear him
- 10:50saying it. Meanwhile, SLV, which is the
- 10:54silver ETF gets new longs every day.
- 10:57OK, So the open interest is going down, but we're getting
- 11:01more and more people that are investing into the SLV.
- 11:05But I got a big warning about that with this Jane St.
- 11:09We're going to talk about that later because there's a new
- 11:11Trickster in town when it comes to potential manipulation.
- 11:16Some people are speculating within the silver market, but
- 11:19Vince says it in red. The COMEX is being abandoned.
- 11:23And what did we hear about earlier, right, India moving
- 11:27away from using the LBMA, but essentially using the Western
- 11:31pricing structure to price their ETF.
- 11:34And we know what China's up to then Vince says it, maybe those
- 11:38rumors about delivery and default risk are more than
- 11:43rumors, OK. And there's the chart down there
- 11:46which shows the daily open interest in the COMEX futures
- 11:50market, which you can see on the right hand side is really
- 11:54collapsing. I don't know how far does that
- 11:56go back, goes back? Is that a year or maybe till
- 11:59November? But nonetheless, we've got a
- 12:01big, big draw down down in open interest at the COMEX, OK.
- 12:06And I would say that Vince sounds a little suspicious,
- 12:09which again is not what what you typically hear from him when
- 12:13he's talking about these metal markets.
- 12:15All right. And but wait, there's more, OK?
- 12:18Because even people who've been in the futures markets for a
- 12:22long time and we're always skeptical of what's happening,
- 12:26right are of the manipulation story.
- 12:29Excuse me? They weren't too skeptical of
- 12:32what was happening, but they were right skeptical of people
- 12:36that said oh, the comex is to the crime Max and blah blah
- 12:39blah. Well, let's go take a look at
- 12:41one of those guys who's been around a long time and we dug
- 12:45in. This is Peter Brandt.
- 12:47Peter has 891,000 followers, almost a million followers on
- 12:55the X platform. That is huge in the financial
- 12:58sector. He says For years, OK, And this
- 13:02guy's been in the futures markets for like 40 plus years
- 13:05for since 1976. OK, when I was six years old, he
- 13:09says for years I poo pooed the conspiracy theories surrounding
- 13:15the COMEX and manipulation of silver prices.
- 13:18Now I'm on the fence. The exchange is not accepting
- 13:23orders. Is force majeure coming?
- 13:25Question mark, question mark, question mark and a few more
- 13:29question marks after that. Again, guys, this is he he's
- 13:33been he was like a a best selling author.
- 13:36What else did I have about him? I mean he's this guy is been
- 13:41around the block and in the futures markets and all he ever
- 13:45said was Nah, those people that say silver and gold are
- 13:49manipulated blah blah. Even he now is beginning.
- 13:52Think about it. The COMEX shut down yesterday.
- 13:55Why? Because of a technical glitch.
- 13:58These big markets, they got backup system.
- 14:02They're going to run out of excuses soon.
- 14:06Remember last time right in November it was a cooling issue
- 14:10that they shut down the COMEX for.
- 14:12This time it was a technical glitch that and I think they use
- 14:17shutting down natural gases cover.
- 14:18Possibly, I'm speculating whatever.
- 14:21Maybe the price of gold and silver isn't.
- 14:24Maybe the price of gold and silver isn't manipulated after
- 14:27all. And you know what?
- 14:28I also believe in Santa Claus. I'm being sarcastic when I say
- 14:35that I can get in trouble for being sarcastic.
- 14:37With upstairs Susie, we got a ton more to cover, a ton more
- 14:41about the Comex, the Nymex, the Crime X, the CME, all that great
- 14:45stuff. But before we go there, I want
- 14:47to say thank you to channel sponsor.
- 14:50First meant I was getting my fingers mixed up.
- 14:52OK, first meant they they deliver world class silver
- 14:57bullion products to your door. They are a silver specialist
- 15:01mint in Las Vegas, NV. They get their silver from the
- 15:05company that owns them. First Majestic Silver.
- 15:09So it goes from the mine to the mint to you.
- 15:11Here's one example. This is the backside of their of
- 15:15of one of the rounds they offer. This is the year of the Horse
- 15:19round, which is just absolutely beautiful.
- 15:22Check this out. Who doesn't like the look?
- 15:24Let's look at a little silver for a second.
- 15:26Man, I love silver. I love holding it.
- 15:29I love the way it looks. And these are works of art.
- 15:32But remember something very important with first mint.
- 15:36OK, that silver from the mind to the mint directly to you never
- 15:40gets touched by the by the I can't, I'm not I don't know how
- 15:44to pronounce it. The Comex.
- 15:45I almost said Crimex. The Comex or the LBMA.
- 15:49It's not subject to cooling issues or technical glitches or
- 15:53anything like that, right? It is the freshest silver around
- 15:57and you guys love First Mint. Thank you for all the positive
- 16:00feedback. And don't forget there is a
- 16:01discount code VIPRB that you can use to get a little discount.
- 16:06OK man, there's so much going on.
- 16:08Let's talk about an explanation of you.
- 16:11We throw these words around all the time.
- 16:13The COMEX, the CME, the Nymex. Let's just so we understand what
- 16:19we're talking about. I have a brief presentation for
- 16:21you that'll give you an understanding of what we're
- 16:25looking at. OK, here we go.
- 16:27So the CME Group, which is what all the headlines said
- 16:30yesterday, the CME Group shut down silver gold trading.
- 16:33They actually own the COMEX Now it gets a little more
- 16:37complicated, but it'll be easy for you to understand.
- 16:40The CME Group is the world's largest derivatives, which means
- 16:44fake paper make believe Fantasy Island Marketplace and operates
- 16:494 major main exchanges, the CME Group, the Chicago Mercantile
- 16:55Exchange, the C bot, the Chicago Board of Trade, the Nymex.
- 16:59Remember that the Nymex, the New York Mercantile Exchange, and
- 17:03the COMEX OK Now that what is the COMEX do?
- 17:08The COMEX is a division of Nymex.
- 17:12So at the very top the parent company is the CME Group.
- 17:15The CME Group owns the Nymex, OK and the and and the COMEX is a
- 17:21division of the Nymex. So at the very it goes from top
- 17:24to bottom, it goes CME Group, Nymex, COMEX.
- 17:28And what does the COMEX do? Well, they manipulate the price
- 17:32of silver and gold. Now speculation only
- 17:35speculation. COMEX, a division of Nymex is
- 17:39the primary platform for trading metals, futures and options.
- 17:43OK, now you may be asking just for fun.
- 17:46I thought, what's a good simple definition of the difference
- 17:50between the COMEX and the LBMA? And here we we have it.
- 17:55Get the right screen up. The primary difference between
- 17:59the COMEX and the LBMA is in the type of trading and settlement.
- 18:05OK, two things. Trading and settlement.
- 18:07The LBMA, the London Bullion Market Association, I tell you,
- 18:11they've been providing us with an accurate reflection of the
- 18:14price of gold and silver for decades and decades, centuries.
- 18:18A wholesale physical market. Physical market where gold is
- 18:22traded over the counter. It sets the global benchmark
- 18:25spot price twice daily for the immediate delivery of actual
- 18:32bullion. OK.
- 18:35The COMEX, which is a division of the Nymex, which is owned by
- 18:39the CME Group, is a futures exchange where participants
- 18:43trade standardized contracts or as we like to refer to it,
- 18:47Fantasy Island. Silver and gold for gold and
- 18:50silver at a set price in the future.
- 18:53OK, So for delivery in the future, like we're talking about
- 18:56the March contract, which would be delivery in March and the May
- 18:59contract which would be it's a price for silver at a certain
- 19:03date in the future. Most trades are settled.
- 19:06This is the key in cash or rolled over like we were talking
- 19:11about David Morgan saying earlier why the COMEX won't blow
- 19:14up necessarily. It will eventually, I
- 19:18wholeheartedly believe. But but they what they can do is
- 19:21just settle it for cash or they can roll the contracts forward
- 19:25to the next delivery date. Most trades are settling cash
- 19:28are rolled over with very few resulting in physical delivery.
- 19:33But but and it's a big butt and you know, I like big butts.
- 19:37I will not lie. OK.
- 19:38We are seeing more demand for delivery from the COMEX now than
- 19:43we've seen in during previous periods, which is leading some
- 19:46people out there to speculate or some predict that we could run
- 19:52into some serious, serious problems at the at the COMEX.
- 19:56I want to say thank you to channel sponsor First Mining
- 19:59Gold. The sponsors make this possible.
- 20:01First Mining Gold is sponsored my channel for a long time, but
- 20:05I own the stock even longer. I owned it before they sponsored
- 20:09my channel. They're a development stage gold
- 20:12company based in Canada. They have two huge projects with
- 20:15massive amounts. Multi million ounce deposits of
- 20:18gold in the ground in Canada, Spring pole in Ontario.
- 20:23And Duparquet located in Quebec, again, both have millions of Oz
- 20:27of gold, millions and millions of dollars were spent drilling
- 20:30scientifically proving that the gold is actually there in the
- 20:33ground. And that's a rarity.
- 20:35They have big multi million ounce projects in a great
- 20:39jurisdiction like Canada. They've also got another project
- 20:42in Canada called Cameron that I think has around 1,000,000 a
- 20:46rat, right around 1,000,000 give or take of Oz of gold in the
- 20:48ground. A great company.
- 20:50I love the management. I am not a financial advisor.
- 20:54Do your own research. OK, But you can learn more about
- 20:58the company at firstmininggold.com.
- 21:00But wait, there's more. OK, OK, here, let's look.
- 21:03Let's look at this. So the CME Group puts this out
- 21:06yesterday, right when they shut down the the trading in the
- 21:10markets. Oh, darn it.
- 21:12Hold on a second. Hold on, guys, I'll be right
- 21:14back. Hold on.
- 21:15You know what? I'll bring you out the first
- 21:17Mints website for a second. I need to pull something up.
- 21:21We're having some tech issues. Bear with me.
- 21:23Just one second, hold on. Just one second, hold on.
- 21:33See if I can find this for us. Here we go.
- 21:37I found it. Woof.
- 21:38I was getting worried there. All right, so there you are.
- 21:41There's the year of the horse coin at first Mint, but now
- 21:46we're going to switch over to this.
- 21:47I hope this works, but this is the CME Group's press or tweet
- 21:53yesterday press release, however you want to say it.
- 21:55Due to a technical issue, meaning that the shorts were
- 21:59getting clobbered, the CME, Globex metals and natural gas
- 22:03futures and options markets were halted at 12:15 today.
- 22:06Natural gas futures and options reopened at 12:50.
- 22:10Metals markets will reopen. That was a full hour and a half.
- 22:13But the funny part was how people replied, OK, I think I'd
- 22:21like my money back. OK, but there was more there.
- 22:23Oh, this one. This is the one I love that's
- 22:28from the dude we love the dude he's always giving us well, he's
- 22:32giving us something there, but he's also giving U.S. data on
- 22:35the paper amount here we go PM bug this one look at this saying
- 22:40BS people Oh yeah there we go look at this he's laughing.
- 22:47So while it's not funny that they manipulate the price,
- 22:51Crooked Casino exposed, it's interesting to see that the
- 22:55world is. We love that one, The dude.
- 22:59That's funny. Let's see if the dude put out
- 23:01yesterday's even though they shut down the market for an hour
- 23:04and a half. I wonder if the dude was able.
- 23:06Here we go. Yeah, the silver market traded
- 23:09yesterday, 564,000,000 paper oz. OK, so this was yesterday,
- 23:14Wednesday, the day that they shut down the market for an hour
- 23:17and a half. And they're like, they have like
- 23:18banker hours. They're only open for a little
- 23:20bit anyway. Anyhow, they traded 564.
- 23:24We'll come back to this. Hold on one second.
- 23:30They were they, they had a technical issue with the crime
- 23:32comex yesterday and they shut down for an hour and a half.
- 23:35But, and I'll say it one more time, I like big butts.
- 23:38I will not lie. They still traded 564,000,000
- 23:42paper ounces of silver. Imagine that.
- 23:46You don't have to be Albert Eisenhower to figure out that on
- 23:49an annual basis, the entire mining sector only produces 800
- 23:53million. But in a day that was shortened
- 23:57by a special break due to a technical glitch, they still
- 24:00traded 564,000,000. Nearly 73.6% right of the entire
- 24:06annual mining production was traded in a shortened day at the
- 24:11Comex. I digress.
- 24:12Let's go back to the dude who continues on by saying the open
- 24:18interest roll over rolled over significantly after the CME
- 24:22quote UN quote glitched and work the backroom deals to prevent
- 24:25the default. The criminality is another level
- 24:28of fraud. How much longer till a force
- 24:30majeure or a default? OK, all right guys, the comex
- 24:36and they will not OK, here we go.
- 24:38Here we go. I'm here comes the preach.
- 24:40Just remember, these guys aren't going to go down easy.
- 24:44OK? We're seeing it now that the the
- 24:47day after Thanksgiving, what happened yesterday, They're not
- 24:50going to stop at anything, including maybe just shutting it
- 24:54down for a day or two if they have to force majeure, whatever
- 24:58it is, but they are not going to go down easy.
- 25:00Be prepared. I know we're having some
- 25:02volatility in the silver and gold price today.
- 25:04Be prepared. OK, Now I got big scary warning
- 25:09coming your way cuz there's another manipulator potentially
- 25:13speculation, but this, I think we would need to pay very close
- 25:17attention to another potential bad actor in the world of
- 25:21manipulation when it comes to the silver and gold price.
- 25:25And this is a company called Jane St.
- 25:27Jane St. Capital.
- 25:29It's a big hold on. Let's just go out and look at a
- 25:31couple things here 1st and I'll explain to you what is going on.
- 25:36This is getting a lot of attention in.
- 25:38This comes from Zero Hedge. Zero Hedge is reliable.
- 25:41I break them up there when it comes to financial news as being
- 25:45at the very, very top. They say we have been huge
- 25:49silver bowls since 2009. I can attest to that absolutely,
- 25:54because I've been with Zero Hedge that whole time.
- 25:56But be very careful here. There's lots of financial
- 26:01engineering going on. Referring to the quote UN quote
- 26:05glitch at the COMEX yesterday. But this is even more important.
- 26:09James St. not only added a record 20 million shares of SLV,
- 26:15that's the silver ETF in Q4, it is now also the biggest holder
- 26:22of SLV. And there's a big reason why
- 26:25that can scare us. We need to be on alert as silver
- 26:29investors. But at least it's being brought
- 26:31out in the open because these guys are a hyper aggressive.
- 26:35And let's say there's some people out there that say unfair
- 26:40trading firm. OK, recently, I want to read
- 26:43this to you. Yeah, yesterday or the day
- 26:45before, there was a huge crypto blow up that occurred, I don't
- 26:49know, a couple years ago, it was a a company called Terraform
- 26:52Labs. They had a stable coin, which
- 26:54means it was pegged to the US dollar.
- 26:56It blew up. People lost billions and
- 26:59billions and billions of dollars.
- 27:01Some people unfortunately, even took their own lives over it.
- 27:04It was a big, big deal. OK, But now there's a lawsuit
- 27:09between the bankruptcy attorney for Terraform against Jane St.
- 27:14saying that basically they engaged in insider trading, that
- 27:19they were in even a speculation I'm hearing, instrumental in the
- 27:23downfall. That was that crypto called Luna
- 27:25and I think the other one was called UST.
- 27:27This was a huge, huge deal, and apparently these people at Jane
- 27:32St. The accusations are from the
- 27:34lawsuit that they did big insider trading they dumped and
- 27:38they were even part of the cause for what happened and for people
- 27:41losing billions and billions of dollars.
- 27:44That same company now is the biggest holder of the SLVETF.
- 27:50That is scary because the speculation is and I don't want
- 27:53to be negative, but the speculation is that they we
- 27:57could manipulate the price of silver through this being the
- 28:00largest holder of the SLVETF. Also it's of note to to to
- 28:06realize that this company Jane St. that guy Sam Bankman freed
- 28:11the one who was the other big crypto blow up that occurred.
- 28:15What was that FTX another one where there was a horrible
- 28:18situation for many many, many people.
- 28:21Sam Bankman freed actually, if I had this correct worked at James
- 28:25St. It's it's we need what's good
- 28:30OK, it's scare two things. It's scary a little bit for
- 28:33silver investors what's going on with James Street, but it's also
- 28:36good that people are pointed it out.
- 28:38I'm pointed it out. It's all over the X platform.
- 28:41So if they try to pull some shenanigans, not that anyone
- 28:45would ever want to pull any shenanigans with the silver
- 28:47price, there's going to be a lot of eyeballs on it, A lot of
- 28:50eyeballs. So that's the silver lining.
- 28:54Pardon the fun to the whole situation.
- 28:55Let's go to China. This is it's crazy, the absolute
- 29:00crazy, the price difference between silver and China and
- 29:04silver on the LBMA and the COMEX really just.
- 29:09I want. To check in with you OK,
- 29:12upstairs, Susie just chimed in. She wants to check in with us.
- 29:15Let's go look at this. Our friend, the Oriental ghost,
- 29:17the one and only OK guys, get ready, take your blood pressure
- 29:22medicine because here's the February 26th data from the
- 29:27Oriental ghost We we love him. OK, this is the Shanghai Gold
- 29:32Exchange silver price. This is their physical market,
- 29:36the equivalent of the LBMA, $98.22.
- 29:41Here's silver on the Shanghai Futures Exchange, 102 dollars.
- 29:48I want to point something out to you. 100, let's say $102.50.
- 29:52Let's go look. OK, it where that's their
- 29:55futures market one O 250. Let's go look and see where
- 29:59silver is on the futures markets in the West.
- 30:02And here we are looking at silver on the COMEX.
- 30:07For those of you who are new, this is the COMEX right there.
- 30:10I'm shoot, hold on here. Hold on guys, let's make that
- 30:14prettier silver comex. That's the March contract.
- 30:19Remember what we learned earlier, right?
- 30:21This is the a future price of silver on a certain date,
- 30:25$86.50. What did I say it was in China
- 30:30one on hold on. OK, so let's go back here.
- 30:34Hold on one O 250. So that's $2.50 plus 1350.
- 30:44If my math is correct. That means the price of silver
- 30:47on the futures market, right? Comparing futures markets to
- 30:51futures market is a full 15 if my math is wrong.
- 30:54Or possibly as high as $16.00 per oz higher in China.
- 30:59And China is the new price setter, the new price discovery
- 31:03center of the universe for gold and silver.
- 31:07Then in India, because they both have 1.4 billion people each,
- 31:10they're consuming all the world silver and gold.
- 31:13And as as as someone pointed out earlier, right, they actually
- 31:18are regulating their markets. I mean, come on, how can we even
- 31:21say that that is the COMEX even regulated?
- 31:24No, I mean, you know, it's a joke with the minimal regulation
- 31:31and oversight that we've had in the last number of years.
- 31:34Think about this, right? We, we, we know that the minimal
- 31:37amount of oversight of that market that JP Morgan was was
- 31:42convicted of spoofing, right? That there were fines paid and I
- 31:45believe a couple guys even went to jail, right over spoofing
- 31:49these markets. It's crazy.
- 31:50It's a joke, guys. You know, let's go one more
- 31:53positive fun thing. I got one more big positive one
- 31:56thing, but let's check in with Susie first, because upstairs
- 31:59Susie had something she wanted to share.
- 32:03Are you there over SO? Yeah, hey, you got 450 likes.
- 32:09I was trying to like rally everyone to get to 500 and I
- 32:12thought if you get to 500 or even just now, say hi to a few
- 32:16people before you sign off. OK, and ring the bell.
- 32:19All right, I will say hi. I will say hi to a few people.
- 32:21I will ring the gong. Before we do that, let's go to
- 32:24our favorite precious metals optimist, Rashad, and see what
- 32:28he's saying about where the silver and gold price.
- 32:30And this guy's been real accurate as of late.
- 32:33Rashad, Rashad, Rashad, we love you.
- 32:36Hold on here. Wrong one.
- 32:38There we go. Yep, here we go.
- 32:42Rashad said this why I expect $102.00 to be a stopper on the
- 32:48initial attempt. He's talking about the silver
- 32:51price because previously broken support is going to act as
- 32:54resistant resistance, but it should not halt silvers run for
- 32:58long. Silver should spend up to two
- 33:01weeks working around the $100 level.
- 33:04Hey, that sounds good to me before it frees and grinds
- 33:07higher towards all time high by the end of March, I expect April
- 33:12May to be explosive. My price target is 240 to $260
- 33:19per oz silver price by May of 2026.
- 33:24You heard it, 250 will round in the middle.
- 33:28So what he's saying right is that we are going to get here's
- 33:31100 on his chart right here, right?
- 33:34He expects silver in the near term, Just shoot up right into
- 33:38that level. But then as you can see, he's
- 33:41got it circled right. There's going to be a resistance
- 33:44level maybe 3 weeks or so that we levitate around there and
- 33:48then OK by boom up arrow and he's talking about $250 silver.
- 33:55Wow, that's incredible Upstairs, Susie, please Alert me when we
- 33:58officially get the 500 thumbs up.
- 34:00I will ring that golden gong. But before I do that, I want to
- 34:03say hi to you guys. I'll do my best to, to to say
- 34:07where you're joining from in the comments section.

- 36:12People in I'll ring the bell, people in China love gold and
- 36:18silver. I know I say it almost every
- 36:20time, but that's such a in those they're smart people, they're
- 36:23family oriented. They totally it's different than
- 36:27us in the West, right that don't they don't there's somebody from
- 36:31Mars, Pakistan, Singapore anyway, we it's it's the it's
- 36:35like the inverse or the opposite of what we are in the West and
- 36:38the West hardly know anybody likes precious metals, right?
- 36:42We're like, part of an elite group, right?
- 36:44But in India and China, they all of it.
- 36:46And their economies are going like crazy.
- 36:48They're getting richer and richer because they're hard
- 36:49working, they're smart, all that good stuff.
- 36:52It really is like, man, the next 10 years are going to be wild,
- 36:57wild, wild. Let's ring the golden gong.
- 36:59That always brings us some good luck.
