Smithys Bullion - FINE GOLD AND SILVER

This is the exact approach I like to take. Recognising your biases and how it impacts your world view is also important. Most of the time we believe things but don't actually know. I like to keep an open mind to all possibilities but apply logic and reason to reach probable conclusions. We don't know what we don't know.

" We don't know what we don't know ". So true. If u can recognize that u don't know everything & pull back, maybe, just maybe, u won't get sucked down with the crowd.

I don't know what is coming. But I have some Gold/Silver to hopefully make it to the other side of the CHAOS that is barreling towards us.

😞

Yes, the neocons do love their usual/standard kaos.

But I was talking more about true chaos. Eg, full scale war between multiple countries, civil war ( possibly in multiple countries ), true breakdown in supply chains that causes mass starvation. Hard to imagine the outcome of 1 or more mega cities ( 10 - 15 - 20 million people ) that is cut off from food/water for 1 - 2 weeks.

That is the type of Major Chaos that can bring even a civilized country down.

It's been a while & memories fade, but the 20th century saw well over 100 million people slaughtered -
WWI
WWII
Stalin
Mao
Pol Pot
Rwanda
& a dozen minor wars that killed10's to 100's of thousands

that's not kaos, that's CHAOS
 
SILVER Open - For quick reference I use " MarketWatch " Silver continuous contract.

Silver opened up strong, now at - $37.42 USD ( up $0.33 USD )

With Trumps tariff turmoil looking likely to continue it might be a good week for the shiny stuff 😁

EDIT: I used AUD when it should have been USD.

Thnx for posting this mate. Much appreciated getting the info.

DAMN these people ( Blackrock, Vanguard, etc ) are fucking EVIL :devilish:

Only real thing I have is that with the current pricing of Gold/Silver, my current holdings makes up more the 50% of my net Wealth.

Just sad that 99% of the general population hold no Gold/Silver ( wedding ring excluded ) & have no clue/care of what is coming. I talk to people when I can, but they have no interest/care about these topic's because - my life is way too busy to think about things like that 😞

Russia had written off their Ukr investment

I think Ukr is a total write of for both side. No winners out of this 1

All though Russia has gained some real battle experience & had a taste of NATO weapons capability.

EDIT: to add that the eastern part of Ukr that Russia is now holding is where the vast bulk of the Mineral/Resource wealth is supposed to be located. At least from the mapping that I have seen.

I have Silver, so I do keep an eye on the price action.

For reference/understanding I use " MarketWatch.com " & the Silver continuous contract ( $ is USD ) when I refer to any pricing.

Since Silver broke thru $37 on 16th of June 2025, I sensed an effort to push & keep Silver below that $37. Since last Thursday, 3rd/7/2025 Silver seems to now maintain above $37 even though there seems to be effort to keep pushing it below that $37

Maybe there are traders that now view $37 as a floor & that any price below that $37 is an opportunity to BUY more Silver ?

I can easily believe that there is manipulation/efforts to suppress the price of Silver. I just can't see how Silver has not surpassed it's ATH of $44 & change, given that there has been a 6 YEAR Structural Deficit in the supply of Silver ( with no mining increase forecast ) & the consistent increase ( & by reports, continuing ) Industrial demand for Silver.

Unconfirmed ( but seemingly credible ) reports of China & Russia making Silver a Strategic Reserve Metal & accumulating large amounts. Also reports that India is buying Large amounts of Silver also. Given all this, I just can't square all this, with my thoughts & how the price of Silver is at least not surpassing it ATH, let alone in the triple digit $ price range.

Because it is a strategic metal and a tiny market, the goons like to keep control of its price. One day, they will lose.

I do hope that they will soon lose control of the price.

The other " conspiracy theory " that I give a lot of credence to is that the Pentagon/DoD are behind Silver price suppression. I have read a few articles that make points on that the MIC ( military industrial complex ) uses a huge amount of Silver in the military materials.

Just 1 item I have seen from different sources said that Tomahawk/Cruise missile ( the largest 1's ) contain 15 + Kg ( yes, Kg ) of silver in the electronics, wiring, sensors, shielding, etc. ( I have seen more than 1 estimate that the MIC uses over 200 million oz of silver per year )

The Pentagon/DoD have massive budgets ( supposedly over 1 Trillion/year under Trumps new BBB ) & that these budgets are managed/maintained by the the largest of the banks. It's these same banks that have Huge positions in the Silver/Gold markets. So I don't see it as too much of a stretch of credibility that these same banks do the Pentagon/DoD a " favor " by suppressing the price of silver, so as to assist in managing the Pentagon/DoD budgets :unsure:

Here's some bread crumbs for you.

President Johnson's remarks when signing the coinage Act:

"Now, all of you know these changes are necessary for a very simple reason--silver is a scarce material. Our uses of silver are growing as our population and our economy grows. The hard fact is that silver consumption is now more than double new silver production each year. So, in the face of this worldwide shortage of silver, and our rapidly growing need for coins, the only really prudent course was to reduce our dependence upon silver for making our coins....

...If we had not done so, we would have risked chronic coin shortages in the very near future.

If anybody has any idea of hoarding our silver coins, let me say this. Treasury has a lot of silver on hand, and it can be, and it will be used to keep the price of silver in line with its value in our present silver coin. There will be no profit in holding them out of circulation for the value of their silver content."

What we have is a clear admission from President Johnson stating they will utilise aboveground stockpiles to manipulate the price. This was in the 60's.

We must ask the obvious question "what do they have to gain from it all?". The obvious answer is preservation of faith in their fiat monetary system. We saw inflation fears lead to a massive influx of demand for precious metals in 1979-1980 because the population was accustomed to Gold and Silver being stable forms of money. By suppressing the price, you maintain confidence in the dollar.

Fast forward to 2025 and most people have no idea about the history of Gold and Silver being used as money for millennia. I conclude there must be more to their reasons for price suppression than just preserving faith in the system. Again, the remarks from President Johnson give us clues - "Now, all of you know these changes are necessary for a very simple reason--silver is a scarce material. Our uses of silver are growing as our population and our economy grows.". IMO, the price controls today are to deter physical investors. The world is so dependant on silver for technological progress that additional consumption from investors would accelerate the move towards real physical shortages. Investment in physical silver also comes with the added threat of understanding currency and our history of money, so waking up to the "system" and silver go hand in hand. The more your average citizen holds the keys to the future, the more power the people have. This is why I believe price controls exist today.

You can also see how Silver could be at the core of Agenda 2030 and population reduction. The world would become chaotic if silver wasn't obtainable. It is the most threating commodity to have depleted. We literally cannot continue with our rate of population growth and need/consumption of silver. Silver does appear to be the Achilles heel of the system.

& yes, the manipulation of Silver/Gold is all to do with the Fiat Currency. U are right. If the public wake up to the True Value of Silver/Gold & that fiat currency is worthless they will loose their hold/control of the system/finance.

:ROFLMAO: what a joke - Silver is a scarce material - but if u horde it we have more than enough to keep the price stable. OK, which is it ? SCARCE or WE HAVE LOTS ?

Supply is very constrain & new mines ( if u can find a source ) take 10 to 15 years to bring online. Silver is mainly sourced as a byproduct from other metal mining. Miners are going to mine extra of their main product, just because more Silver is needed. Most people have not got a clue as to how Vital Silver is to the modern Electronic world. A collapse in Silver supply could cause some significant fighting over resources.

EDIT: Mmm, don't know what I did. I fucked something up 😂 1/2 my post is joined to ur's, so my post actually starts just before the astonished face emoji.

That's awesome. I certainly spread the word at any opportunity. Most people have no idea but occasionally you come across someone who understands. I met an older fella the other day who essentially quoted me the spot price for Gold and Silver. That doesn't happen very often, so I was pleasantly surprised.

When someone comes into money for whatever reason, there's an interesting thing that happens where people want to preserve their newly found wealth. This tends to lead some of them down the PM path.

I'm just back from my chiro visit. Nice Lady. About 40ish. I was talking about swapping some Gold for Silver because of the GSR ATM. She was interested so I chatted a bit more.

😂 then she says " u sound just like my dad " I said that maybe she should chat & listen a bit more to her dad. She actually said that she was going to have a chat with her dad & learn a bit more about this " Gold & Silver "
