On 1/1/26 WA instituted a tax on gold bullion sales so gold will be cheaper if purchased out of state. I think you have to physically do the purchase and not o online. Don't know if it applies to silver or other precious metal bullion.

Its convenient,, the timing of Washington States new tax on Bullion.. I do not know the details accept that Jewlrey is exempt...

I also know that the bullion banks are in the process of being drained over the weekend,,,

Look for a counter move in Silver for the attack on Venezuela and capture of Maduro,, atleast optically anyways... The US just captured territory to displace Chinese and Russian Influence in their backyard...
Russia and China both have forward Air and Missile bases in Venezuela...

The FED can [Bleeeeep!] with the paper Silver price for a while,, keep it down while their friends acquire the physical,, to keep it out of your hands... Right now the price in Japan/China is $130,, that is the price if you want to hold it in your hand and put it in your pocket... So before long it will be not available here in the United States at all unless the price goes way higher than it is today...

China also has control over the largest Silver stockpile in the world,, and not by a little...

$81 an ounce at the moment. Still better than Amazon stonks!

Remember when the Hunt brothers tried to take over the world silver market in the 1970s? Funny how that didn't work out.

$84 an ounce now.

Salmo, you want to sell those old silver coins? I’ll pay you spot price for them… but this week only. If you hold and don’t sell, it means that you are acknowledging a degree of Rich’s accuracy on predicting the future for not wanting to sell.

Or, if I hold and don't sell, it means that I'm just not interested or care enough to bother.

Bank of America is predicting Silver will hit $135 to $309 in 2026 I think...

You think? Either the bank is predicting or it isn't predicting. There's not much in between there Rich.

The Silver Spot Paper Price is nearly $92

you can tell that the Silver market is phucked up right now because all the major bullion banks have a different spot price ranging about $1.00 plus or minus....

Federal Reserve under DOJ investigation for FRAUD and Market rigging announced today...

Damn… might be time to sell the paper silver (PSLV). This could also be a catalyst for a bigger market crash. The banks are royally fukked and the silver prices between paper, physical and different markets aren’t the same. Trust in the system is gone.

Yes the banks are in trouble,, European banks in much worse shape than American banks... All the banks are in really deep chit...

You would not know by watching the mainstream that there are any real problems in the economic/financial markets,,, they have not even mentioned Silver and its historic run... Silver is the 2nd most valuable asset next to Gold now...

You have mainstream investment people now making crazy Silver predictions for 2026,, up to 500 per ounce...

This is all happening because the system is collapsing... We the people wont officially find out until after its over...
