Silver spot is currently up 64 cents. Did something happen to make it jump or is it the usual market manipulations?imageimage

    Wash/rinse/repeat of Greek uncertainty with a little dose of pre-FED meeting drama. Money leaving any specific equity sectors is being reallocated in other sectors as witnessed by DOW and NASDAQ averages.

    The boyz reversed Friday's precise 10:00 AM EST pre-OpEx dump with today's 10:00 AM EST boost. Wash - rinse - repeat. Both were timed to within a minute.

    Yup, just the usual OpEx non-manipulative swings. image

    More FOMC fun to follow into Wednesday.

    over reaction. I'm taking USLV profits and buying DSLV in anticipation of an at least .35 pull back in silver. If correct should see about a quick 6% return on the DSLV. Silver currently at 16.42 with DSLV currently at 54.00. Let's see if it comes to pass during Tuesday's trading hours.

    My timing was good for once: I bought another roll of silver rounds last Friday, mostly with eBay Bucks.
    When in doubt, don't.

    With gold (GLD) putting in exactly 2 days between tops and bottoms for the past 2 weeks, today being an up day for PMs wasn't much of a stretch. Silver has moved above its 3 week down trend. Gold is overall stronger in the bigger picture as it popped above its 3 month down trend today. Let's see if they can hold those levels through FOMC.

    After 21 days of rallying, the gold to silver ratio takes a breather and heads back to some older gaps

    The boyz decided to throw a curveball at exactly 10:00 AM EST today with a one minute $8 gold spike (16c in silver). Yup, nothing unusual going on here.

    Roadrunner, you really need to look at trading patterns in all commodities and equities. If I covered up the name you would think they are all gold. There is no out of the ordinary trading, unless that's what you want to believe.

    What I was getting at were the multiple 10 AM push downs last week. And yesterday and today the strong 10:00 am prompt jump rallies. These have occurred at exactly at 10:00 am....within a minute. Nothing nefarious....just gold old boy HFT algo's during their thing. It was fun to play the multiple 2 day lows into last Friday. Now after making the bears feel good....out comes the rug. image

    I've closely watched all the PM ETF's and spot metal prices over the past several years. The action these past 2 weeks is a different pattern than I've seen before. I've often seen 10:00 AM peaks and valleys, once or twice in a week. But almost every day like clockwork? And big moves too. I probably watch the trading patterns and charts in gold/GLD and miners more closely than most anywhere here (derryb watches close too). In the past, a typical cycling low in gold was on the order of 3 days, sometimes 4. The past 2 weeks came up with 2 days between GLD/GDX lows and highs. Haven't seen that used before....at least not in the past 2 years. GDX (and to some extent GLD) were on a fairly tight 55 day cycle since late December 2013. That also changed in the past couple of months. Haven't figured out what that's morphed into yet. It could have something to do with GDX finally bottoming out in November (gold in Dec).

    I get you roadrunner, but look at a chart of oil and you will see the same patterns. Same for corn, wheat, natural gas, Biogen, Apple and Us Treasuries.

    This is just how things trade. I suppose one could find what appears to be manipulation in everything, even bacterial cultures, but (un)fortunately this is just the way things are. There is nothing nefarious or ill-intended or wanton.

    JPM has taken delivery of 8.3 million ounces of silver in just the past 2 weeks alone.

    May be holding as much as 350 million ounces of physical silver.

    If JPM is taking possession of that much silver, I would have expected a steady price rise. On the other hand, if the mines in Mexico and elsewhere are putting out millions of new ounces, at some point I would expect weakness - which is what we've been seeing.

    Anything is possible, but this isn't a transparent market and it never has been. Speculation can be fun. I think $16 silver isn't too bad a price, given all of the other variables in the financial markets that must be considered.

    Boring isn't bad if you are accumulating. Excitement in the market is great if you're selling. I'm still accumulating. Dollars still need rescuing occasionally.image

    Are the mines producing silver at a faster rate than the world's governments are creating money?image

    Probably not, but these are two unrelated variables both of which have their own supply/demand dynamics. Silver's demand is a lot different than money demand - and they both may be lagging.

    The thing about silver demand is that when demand starts to exceed the actual supply, we will see real price increases. Paper contracts can't fix a silver shortage.

    Money creation is a completely different scenario. The money is being created but there is no demand for business expansion and the money just sits in the banks as excess reserves. The money's been created, the debt has been created and there's no way they will ever call it back because the government's already spent the money and more. Rates wouldn't be zero if there were any demand for the money.

    No business is going to stick it's neck out to expand when there's no business activity. Lot's of retail stores are still closing. Wage pressure is rising. There's no justification for big expansions right now, so rates aren't going anywhere.

    Ted Butler: The Biggest Silver Haul In History

    "So JPMorgan artificially depresses prices via short sales on the COMEX and then requests that the US Mint sell it all the Silver Eagles it can produce. It doesn’t care if it is paying $2 over the spot price, JPM wants all the silver it can get its hands on. But what about selling the coins I claim JPMorgan has acquired? The coins will not be sold as coins, but melted into 1,000 ounces bars. In fact, some of the 100 million+ ounces of coins may have already been melted and cast into good delivery bars. Considering that the coins are the same purity as 1,000 ounces bars, melting is a simple and a low cost process."

    Well, Ted Butler does document his opinions with detailed analysis & reporting in a very murky market. Does cohodk document anything to the contrary? Which is conjecture? I'd have to go with some information rather than none at all.

    They don't have to be. I'm sure one of the APs would be happy to order discreetly on their behalf. JPM can easily be a big buyer of silver eagles without buying them directly from the mint. Wouldn't surprise me for JPM to be a big stakeholder in one of the APs specifically for this purpose.

    THe amount of silver bullion that has been sold around the world over the last few years is astronomical. It's not from
    people buying a few monster boxes here and there. Someone is amassing hundreds of millions of ounces somewhere. It doesent matter
    who but is does matter when the dump happens. Thru manipulation of physical vs paper and shorts there will be a short run up
    and then "the Mother of all Crashes"

    Just my guess from the numbers I have seen and the stories I have read over the last two years. Who knows what thoes fine boys on
    Wall Street are up to.

    Well, that's a good point to bring up. Now the Silver Bulls are talking about a massive overhang in physical silver being held by JPM.

    Huh.

    There goes the argument that there could be a huge crunch in "good for delivery" bars which drives up the prices of our little chunks we call such amusing names as Monster Boxes and Porn and hope will save our buts from "them"
