Anyone travelling to India this week?
So, do you or do you not believe the long-term macro story for gold?
If you do, then here's your chance to stack The Real Thing at SPOT. Thanks to @sdbullion for this great opportunity.

More casinos to play in. Just when it looks like you are winning ... the servers go down.
And we’re off! @CMEGroup is officially live with 24/7 crypto futures & options trading, providing around-the-clock access to crypto derivatives. @Ripple Prime is a day one clearing and financing partner, supporting always-on markets.
Fun fact: $XRP futures were the fastest ever contracts on CME to cross $1B in open interest, achieving this in just 3 months last year. The institutional demand is there, and now so is the infrastructure. cmegroup.com/media-room/pres…
Rhetorical question: Who will win this currency war?
Deliveries are trending up while total open interest is dropping. COMEX silver is becoming less "papery" every month. Over the long term this make price suppression more difficult. The more you conjure up new contracts and dump them, the more you have to deliver! ooops 😂

Gold held by #FRBNY for "foreign official accts" in Feb unch at 5,804t worth $1trn. Now we know who withdrew (sold) 129t (Aug'25-Jan'26): the French. Parked for 60 years, now zero left. Speaks volumes. Who's next?
Here is the financial press at work for YOU ... in the 1970's. That last two decades have been abut the same.
The war on Gold has always been about perception management. It has always been an information battle as much as price suppression. Here are a list of negative news headlines from 1970-1980.

Here's a secret. Gold is real money. Electronic photons displayed on internet banking is not. They don't want the general public realizing the truth. So the media gaslights the public 24/7 and runs an inverted narrative to confuse people. It's simple.
Gold is money. Everything else is credit.
We have seen the short posted of Francis Hunt (@themarketsniper ) talking about the bizarre gold calls. For some reason the full interview is very hard to find! Here it is. Link in comment.

Just resurfacing this gem. Gold tripled in his face immediately after mocking @BankerWeimar who called the bottom. It’s poetic.
Polymarket needs to start taking bets on when the next CME outage will occur. That way stackers can have some fun while they watch and wait .
This is the consequence of chronic/structural price suppression using paper (actually digital) derivatives.
"Gold was the top U.S. export for the second consecutive month – the only two months in at least the last 20 years" 🤔🤔 forbes.com/sites/kenroberts/…
The rainbows and unicorns view that banks/CME/COMEX provide important "services" is finally starting to break down. For dealers and refiners, silver is becoming un-hedgable.
BUST THIS CARTEL BEFORE THEY TEAR THE MARKETS A NEW A**H0LE. AGAIN. LOOK AT THIS FUCKING SHITSHOW IN SILVER PRICES THIS WEEK, YOU CROOKED BASTARDS. Silver rocketed to a record $119 per ounce on Jan 29, only to get HAMMERED DOWN 30% in ONE DAY on Jan 30, the worst crash since the 1980 Hunt Brothers fiasco, dropping to $85 while physical silver in Shanghai trades at a 40% PREMIUM around $130.
Same metal, two prices?
That's straight-up MANIPULATION, you thieving pricks at the Crooked Casino called Comex, run by the criminals in Chicago at @CMEGroup who jack up margins to trigger forced selling and save their Banking Whale masters' asses, those same fat cats whose tits you suck on for survival. Meanwhile, Comex has a pathetic 105 million ounces registered but 490 million in open interest, a 5:1 paper-to-physical scam that's draining vaults, with 33 million ounces physically yanked out mid-January alone, 26% of your so-called inventory GONE in a week because NO ONE TRUSTS YOUR PAPER BULLSHIT ANYMORE.
And you so-called cops at @CFTC?
You're as usual, COMPLICIT AND/OR WORTHLESS PIECES OF SH*T, pocketing $1.3 BILLION in fines from banks like JPMorgan for spoofing and manipulation over the years—hell, JPM paid $920 MILLION alone in 2020, traders even went to PRISON—but here we are in 2026, SAME OLD FRAUD, no real action, just enabling the cartel while retail gets fucked.
@CFTCpham @CFTCcgr @CFTCquintenz @CFTCbehnam @cftcmersinger @CFTCjohnson @CFTCjohnson, WAKE THE FUCK UP OR ADMIT YOU'RE IN ON IT, YOU SPINELESS ENABLERS.
Hey guys, @TheJusticeDept @USTreasury @FBI @FBIWFO @NewYorkFBI how about DOING SOMETHING for once? Or are you all as WORTHLESS too, letting these racketeers run wild under RICO-level corruption?
My Opinion and the opinions of thosusands of more people smarter than me on these FACTS.
Sinecerely,
Brian Kuszmar,
One of the millions of innocent people who the CME Group and CFTC have been f*ck*ng over for years...
PS. Please share, this is imortant to get out, again.
He must be new at this precious metals thing. All of these conversations have played out many times before over the last 20 years. Short answer: "it is not that simple". Long answer does not fit on an X post.
Exactly. This week is a poignant example of a 40 year old problem. Similar for copper.
I want you to put yourselves for a moment in the shoes of a silver mining executive. You've seen the price of #Silver rise to $120 an ounce, and you were thinking about expanding your operations, so you can produce more ounces next year. But all of a sudden the price drops back to $85 an ounce, in a single day!!! What would you do?
I know what I would do. I would give up any plans of expansion. The price is simply too volatile to base any business decisions upon. Once the new mine is up and running, the price could drop back to $50? $40? $30? Who knows? It might end up unprofitable, and your company will go bankrupt. So it's best not to do anything at all.
Do you see now how the Shenanigans on the COMEX are exacerbating the shortage of silver and disrupting the global economy? Instead of a market making body, they have turned into a market destroying body.
