Trump is meeting with Zelensky tomorrow about sending Tomahawks to Ukraine, and Putin is upset.

We're on the verge of war, imo

Crazy, there's another way to look at your concern. Eric Arthur Blair wrote a book called 1984 under the pen name George Orwell. His protagonist lives in Oceania. There are two other countries called Eurasia and Eastasia. As part of the propaganda to deceive the citizens, Oceania leadership lied by saying "We have always been at war with Eurasia." (The truth was different, but that's not the relevant point here.)

What you should realize is that America has been at war/regime change for almost all of the 20th and 21st centuries, not to mention our own colonization activity. America is great at creating enemies, and, so far, the countries of the world haven't ganged up on us and wiped us out. The nuclear deterrent probably has something to do with that. Anyway, we've survived so far. We're beyond being on the verge of war, but life may get tougher than we've experienced in a while.

Good points, it's just really getting creepy to watch that # jump so fast

That's another great example of the CIA/War Department meddling where they ought not to be meddling.

Well, I don't think we're on the verge of war, but this could be one of the very early canary events that is part of a planned conflict, for China to take as much physical gold and silver as possible prior to a big conflict.

We know, absolutely, that China wants to take Taiwan, and has been preparing to do that. And that will be a big conflict. Until this year there have been suggestions that they were preparing to do that by next year. I think they have decided they aren't ready to deal with a transformed US military under Trump that has (like WW2) had a couple of years now to put its industry on a semi war footing and ramp up production to wartime levels (helped in part with specific munitions by needing to supply Ukraine and an amped up Europe). But the longer they wait, the more prepared the non Chinese get. Now we have Australia with F35s and JASSM missiles, and nuclear ballistic and hunter killer subs in the works. Japan is gearing up. Other Allies are gearing up. So they will have a tough decision to make on when they go. If they go too soon they won't be ready. If they go too late they will face a reared and ready multinational force, led by a US with new and renewed weapons.

Russia didn't do China any favors there. We need still more production, but if we were at the same state we were in 2022, and China attacked, we would have been out of munitions in weeks. That's much less true now. (For those that deride the military industrial base, you are too stupid to bother arguing with. Our troops are the best, but with nothing to fight with, they will be shredded in any war of more than a few weeks. Big wars are wars of logistics first, before they are wars of talent or training.

So when you post long off-topic stuff it’s OK, but when I do it you gonna call me out on it, eh?

I expanded on a comment / question about the reason gold might be going higher so quickly, and especially driven up by eastern markets. I included the increased price of gold at the start of the comment, then speculated as to why, and when consequences might come. Still on topic. If you didn't like my expanded comment you should have started a new thread.

Don't even bother responding to this Imp. He seems to need/feed off attention like all trolls do.

I wonder why the mods never do anything about you and your aggressive name-calling and trolling.

Sold it all this week at 2755

Well, you can buy some BTC now and make your fortune!

And, pray tell, why you didn't start a new thread for this erudite post? It's especially alarming that you would post anything about Cu Penny Hoarders favorite investment vehicle in a Gold thread.

RealCent threads are jam-packed with comments that are off-topic and typically nobody cares. What's different now?

Karen, what the hell are you watching? I have no idea who that is. Definitely not the sort of actor or program a straight man would watch.

I do know that Sgt. Hulka would beat his ass though.

Back to the topic, Gold approached 4400 on Friday then gets crunched down below 4300 before close. I waited to see the Sunday evening open before deciding whether to edit the title, at the risk of creating more work for myself.

The USD is going to zero. So, over the long term, these recent gold price movements will look like a tiny blip on a chart.

A few hours later I have to change the title back, as it recovers $4300 and nears the peak of last week.

[68Camaro]

Back and forth. There has definitely been a new line drawn in the sand. Gold pushed below 4200.

Phyz holders win in the long run as the USD dies on the vine.

Seems like a lot, but still $4130 as I type this.

Both Au and Ag were very frothy and a correction was needed. Don't sweat it. It forces many weak hands out.

This morning I read millions of more shares of SLV were created, then very big players grabbed them and shorted the hell out of it.

Still very heavy manipulation in these PM markets. It has to end at some point.
