After issuing over 100,000 new Comex gold contracts in the past month and painting a pennant onto the charts, is it any surprise that CDG has been slammed $10 lower today?

Now, keep in mind that price bottomed at $1278 two weeks ago today following the latest BLSBS fiasco. And also...

It's another day in the barrel for us as the Comex metals are forcibly stuck in neutral. However, have you seen palladium today? Yes, it has fallen back from its earlier highs but it continues to soar as physical supply pressures increase.

So let's start there. Again, this is NOT about...

John Batchelor and Professor Cohen recorded another excellent discussion again last evening and they update us on the futility and hysteria of the continuing "Russiagate" investigation. Keep in mind that we are now nearing three full years of allegations and innuendo yet there is still no...

As palladium make another new alltime high today, I though it would be fun to review the situation and what it might mean for us.

First, let's start with the chart and the board. By now you know of the extreme lease rates being charged in London for anyone in immediate need of physical...

As you know, every once in a while your kind and gracious host gets a little...shall we say, frustrated?...at the bullshit nonsense of the Comex. Today is one of those days.

So we actually began the day without a NEEEE Rule opening slam on the Comex. This was the first time since last...

For each of the past several years, we've written January posts that helped to serve as a road map for the year ahead. Though crystal ball-gazing is an inexact science, on balance we've done a pretty good job with these forecasts. As 2019 dawns, we thought we should give it another try today...

The new day dawns with the Comex metals trading in much the same manner as they have for the past few weeks...with the regular imposition of the Never, Ever, Ever, Ever, Ever Rule.

If you're new to TFMR, perhaps you're unaware of the "NEEEE Rule". No, it's not named after legendary...

This is so freaking obvious and ridiculous that I thought it deserved its own post. What's even more ridiculous is the amount of shills and charlatans who still publicly cling to the silly notion that the Comex silver market is a free and fair marketplace for physical price discovery.

Our friends John Batchelor and Professor Stephen F. Cohen kicked off the new year last evening with their first podcast of 2019. We've been diligently posting these weekly discussions for nearly five years now and we will continue to post them for as long as John and Steve continue to record...

The "stock market" is up 10% sonce the arrival of the PPT on December 26. It's up 5% since CGP gave his speech in Atlanta last Friday. Therefore, what to expect when the minutes of the December FOMC are finally released at 2:00 pm EST today? Are CDG and CDS being allowed to rise only so they...

No, we haven't forgotten about this issue in the excitement of the year-end and Q1 rally. There has just been a lot of other stuff to discuss. So today let's take a minute to revisit the "peg" and see if it still holds relevance.

Again, we wrote about this repeatedly in the second half...
