Jim’s Daily Rant. Stranger On A Silver Ledge About To Jump.

We’ve all seen the old movies of the firemen with the round canvas net on the sidewalk awaiting the jumper from the build ledge, haven’t we? Bu I seriously doubt that is done anymore. Here’s why.


As a programmer, I see the world as Procedures. How would I write such a procedure for the net-men to position themselves? Would it vary depending on the building height; 2 stories vs 20 stories? Would I have another man a distance down the sidewalk to direct the net-men into position?


Before such a Procedure could be written, I would probably refuse to write it because the danger of one or two men being crushed would be too high. That is why I doubt that safety catch is done any more for suicide jumpers who would be uncooperative.

My wife is a silver stacker with several thousand ounces. Later this morning she will want to know what all the hoopla about the holidays and podcasts about the CFTC reacting to shadows of shortages coming in January.


I suggest you see the following news reports if you have the time:

This is what I will tell Betty this morning:

 

The 5 Day Holiday is to usher in the Quantum Financial System. It will be complex to bring up as it must be on its own Internet service (different one) and link to 200 countries around the world. That is why it needs 5 days to accomplish. Please consider this as the fire crash crew being deployed on an airport runway, prepared for a probable disaster coming in for a landing.


Silver (spot price) will probably be $70 December 31st. Silver will probably be valued at $100 to $600 January 31st

Silver will probably be at less than $1,000 by February 28th.

Silver will probably be as high as $3,000 by December 31st, 2026.


Note:  Those prices do not include Broker fees or delivery costs if ordered.


If the price is accelerating, I use a made up formula I call the “Street Price”.That street price is the Broker fee with shipping. Currently that is $10 - $12,

One pod-castor suggests the broker’s fee could go to 80% of spot. So who knows.


To me, the Street Price is for a Stacker with no intention to sell and a close friend, too lazy to purchase their own silver, requests you to sell to them. Therefore it will be the current highest price to obtain on line.


After February the numbers will no longer matter to her.
