We have been selling silver eagles as low as $3.65 over spot this week. Offering real value is not having the loudest bullhorn. It is taking care of the customer's interests.

Excellent article by Michael Howell @crossbordercap My take is that China is slowing or reversing their liquidity injections in reaction to the Middle East crisis. China has also cut its imports of oil drastically. This reduction in liquidity may be an effort to temporarily reduce economic/financial activity and control inflationary impulses as oil prices have risen since the Middle East crisis. This liquidity reversal also coincides with the pullback in gold. The key to Gold maybe a conclusion or agreement that improves the situation in middle east, thus, allowing China to resume liquidity creation to aid their economy and debt burdens. Their liquidity creation has coincided with higher metal prices. For Gold and silver investors, this means patience and not attempting to use leverage while the middle east conflict is ongoing. Many are using options as a way to pick bottoms or catch rallies. This is fast money that creates temporary spikes or moves within the trading range. For physical bullion investors looking at longer term fundamentals, this is noise. However, the options trading activity does impact prices and psychology of the market.

Silver American Eagle 1 oz Coin Alert The US Mint sold a total of ZERO Silver American Eagle 1 oz Coins for the month of May 2026 If you are buying from a dealer and paying more than $5 an ounce over spot for a silver eagle coin, you need to shop around or change your dealer. I have seen many big online dealers selling silver eagle coins at $7 to $15 over spot per ounce and buying back at $5 to $9 under spot per ounce. The spreads on these products are not inviting the public to want to buy or own them. The sales reported by the US Mint may be a symptom of what I have been warning about for months.

Nearly all big online precious metal dealers do not pay any premium for your silver. They are not even paying Comex prices when you sell back. In fact, most are sold at enormous discounts to the Comex price when consumers want to sell. Sad- Not all dealers are this way-

Many dealers and promoters purposely mislead investors and their customers. They point to the $10 premium in silver at the Shanghai Gold Exchange vs the Comex pricing in New York. Saying that should be the actual price for silver..... Then go on to charge overpriced premiums on their products. Well here is the reality to their marketing. Nearly all big online precious metal dealers are not paying any premium for your silver. They are not even paying Comex prices when you sell back. In fact most are at enormous discounts to the Comex price when consumers want to sell back to them. So when comparing silver to the Shanghai Gold Exchange price, many precious metals dealers are paying $20 to $30 under for customer's silver. Is that how you treat money or just another commodity?

Anyone can throw a high price target and a time frame. What happens when the expectation is not realized? Does the prediction become a broken clock or do dealers and investment firms continue to use the prediction to sell more products and services. I could be wrong but from what I have seen, there is more money being made by promoting the prediction.

Mark Cuban has said he sold "most" of his Bitcoin, as "Bitcoin has lost the plot," per CoinDesk. In a recent interview, Mark Cuban said he has sold most of his Bitcoin holdings and criticized BTC for failing to act like a hedge during the U.S.-Iran conflict. Cuban stated that he originally viewed Bitcoin as a superior version of gold but was disappointed by its price behavior during market stress.
Could we get another comment from @mcuban about #gold? He had impeccable timing in Dec 2022 Mark Cuban to Bill Maher: If you have gold, you’re dumb as fuck @billmaher

TURKEY DUMPS US TREASURIES TO DEFEND LIRA Turkey sold nearly all of its US Treasury holdings in March, cutting them from $16 billion to just $1.8 billion, according to US Treasury data. The selloff came as Ankara moved to support the lira during market turmoil triggered by the Iran war. The central bank also sold foreign currency and gold reserves to stabilize the economy. Despite the interventions, the lira remains under pressure, inflation has risen to 32.4%, and Turkish bond yields have hit record highs.

Gold and Silver Alert 4 hour charts creating the inverted head and shoulders pattern with positive divergence in relative strength.
Silver market structure developing. hourly chart has an inverted head and shoulders. 4 hour chart has the left shoulder and head with positive divergence in relative strength.....waiting for the right shoulder to develop. Could see another pullback, ideally looking for 73-74 to hold. A lot of call options were obliterated since Friday, with volatility skew spiking from very bullish to neutral readings.

Many talk about government confiscation of individual's gold and silver. This is a hot topic in the retail space. However, something that I have been bringing up for years is the ability of government to levy controls of precious metals supply directly at the mine level. Taxation, customs fees or duties, tariffs, mining claim fees, quotas, etc can be employed before the metals even hit the market.
China plans to impose mining controls on certain strategic minerals to ensure supply security and protect the finite resources. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
