"Bullion banks are between a rock and a hard place. For years they’ve been playing the hedge funds as an angler hooks and plays a fish. That game has ceased and there is no easy way for them to get level. For the moment they are trying to put a lid on the price, but the cost has been rising open interest, and therefore rising mark-to-market positions.

The August active contract runs off the board at the end of this month and bullion banks are likely to be forced into large delivery volumes again. "

    I think they just fail to open one fine day and are never heard from again.

    comex may have to cough up penalties, pay fines and even have massive losses that force it into bankruptcy, but they are too important to the financial system now to just let them fail. we can find a reason to give them some newly created money, too, can't we?

    It's only a 38% increase from here. We are well on the way, just keep creating debt and printing money out of thin air. The world will still function as normal, we will not be chasing zombies and trading mercury dimes for loaves of bread. $26.5T and climbing. Semper Fi!

    You must eat those fancy artisan breads. Even when I splurge for what I consider the good stuff it's never more than the melt value of a silver quarter.

    Nice fancy artisan loaves that I'm going to toast anyway for 2 or 3 bucks each

  • BaleyBaley Posts: 22,661 ✭✭✭✭✭

    By "Lumpy" of course, I mean seedy and full of nutrients. Sometimes there will be a loaf with roasted garlic, or olives, or cheese baked into or on it..
    Now that's tasty!

    We live across the Ohio River from an Amish community in Kentucky and we occasionally go there for some stuff. I'd definitely buy some homemade bread from them for a silver quarter. And the glazed donuts one lady makes down there. Wow. Amazing and pretty huge.

    They are. The Amish may separate themselves from society, but they love green and they're good at making it and saving it. LOL The place we go to when we get a donut the husband makes wood lawn/porch/patio furniture while she bakes bread and pastries. They also sell canned soda inside the house where the bakery is. They have a sort of a walk-out basement from the front and that basement is their store with the baked goods and where you pay for the lawn furniture outside. They actually have a refrigerator but don't power it with electricity. They keep a block of ice in a pan in it and that's where the sodas are. There's a sign on the door of the fridge that says "when you get a drink out of the fridge please get it and close it immediately. LOL

    That's not a refrigerator. That's an ice box. ;)

    LOL That's true. It was probably an old one that was malfunctioned that they got for free from someone.

    What's hilarious is they won't drive cars but will pay big money to hitch a ride from someone. I used to work with a guy that once every few weeks or so, an Amish gentleman would pay him $150 plus gas fill up to drive him about 40 miles into Kentucky to spend the day visiting with his brother. My coworker would just spend the day hanging out in his truck reading or taking a nap. The visit was usually 4-5 hours. :D

    My Grannie ( great- grandma b. 1901) called the refrigerator "the icebox" well into the '60s.. until she switched to "the Frigidaire"..
    which persisted even when they changed to other brands. Often she would still say icebox.

    Everyone from the era called them an ice box because they were literally an ice box. The ice man would come through the neighborhood a couple times a week and deliver a large block of ice for the ice box. Under the ice box was a drip pan and the family dog or cat would enjoy drinking the cool water from the drip pan.

    The Amish around here have ice houses. Well-insulated, partially in-ground. They bring ice from the lake and it lasts all through the summer. I'm thinkin' about something like that. ;)

    Here's another kicker. The younger Amish, of course, they can't own an iPhone, but you'd be amazed how they can find their way around one. I don't know this from personal experience, but a friend of mine that does tree cutting for a side job was looking for a good log splitter. He was down at the Amish community talking to one of the younger ones and the log splitter topic came up. The kid tried to describe the log splitter then asked for my friend's iPhone. He opened up safari and was able to find the website in like 30 seconds. They don't believe in owning technology, but many of them have no problem using others'. :D
