Silver Crosses $34
The first very shy tick above $34 in the last 31 years is in the history books. Will soon be followed by many more. And only $16 more to go to all time nominal highs... and ~$160 to real ones. What is truly hilarious vis-a-vis claims that the dollar is a reserve currency is that in the period in which gold has risen by 2.9%, and silver, 12.3%, the DXY has dropped by 1.45%. It would be quite amusing if Schumer's push to unpeg the CNY came true, only for the US to realize that its currency is now completely irrelevant.

Just a-sittin' here watchin'. I might work some today, and then again maybe not.
Silver, Bitchez!
Buy silver!
Bye, silver!
"bye silver" as in destination moon?
Yes. Please think of the people watching Chuck Yeager's first attempt on the sound barrier in The Right Stuff.
"Punch a hole in the sky, flyboy."
i own the actual wind tunnel templates for the X-1 scavenged from a bell aerospace lab in buffalo ny area, so i'm diggin that analogy
I'm diggin your story about that analogy! Very, very cool.
Attention criminal central bankers. Some of us have have the antidote to your criminal confiscation of assets known as inflation.
In honor of the Hunt boys, who were ahead of their time, I present Shine On Silver Moon, a disco classic. Guaranteed to get you retro dancing.

Cloud... SILVER lining :-)
If clouds had silver linings, Blythe would short the sky.
If clouds had silver linings it would be safe to bet that the USAF had recently been there.
'scuse me while i kiss the sky...
Those with paper silver and gold, watch for a downward assault Tuesday and Wednesday. Hopefully that will be the black swan song of Blithe.
If the silver price holds until after Wednesday's options expiration, we are in for a very high altitude lift off. Fasten your seat belts.
I propose to all zerohedgers that from now on "Silver" and "Gold" should be capitalized.
One should probably lead by example..
SILVER & GOLD
"leading by example" :-)
My "S" and "G" are capitals. Stop being picky
Its all those flying dollahs that we sent out to the rest of the world that I fear, but Wiemar had no fear, because they had no real history to resort to. Those Reichsmarks didn't return in droves to ruin their word did they?
Its like someone standing in front of a receding tidal wave, wondering where the water went.
we have the feeling we are omnipotent.
Somehow smarter than our fellow person, yet all we are is preparing for a storm of unrelenting fathoms.
If clouds had silver linings, Blythe would short the sky
She already has! The sky's the "limit"..... up! How how good would that be?!
I'm with you, SWR!! Got some garden work to do, and some fence work, but maybe I'll just sit here and watch.
Prepped the first of my beds yesterday. Can't wait for the frost to go so I can plant some radishes and peas.
I'm about 30 miles outside of Raleigh. It's warm and windy today. I've got brocolli, lettuce, cabbage, and spinach out. I bought seed potatoes yesterday, but won't plant them until the first week of March.
North Florida ~ Bought potatoes today....will set around Easter...but Easter will be late this year. Planted Radishes last week, a little late, but since they mature so quickly, I may have a chance. My mustard green survived the winter, but are starting to go to seed. My turnips have small bulbs on them.
It's the wave of the future ~ Gardening, bitchez!
Lucky dogs! Still snowing in the Garden State. :-(
Can you start peanuts indoors?
Same thing here in the Hawkeye state..ggrrrr-sick of winter.
The only thing I am planting is seeds of knowledge in some families ears about pm's. If I am lucky one will listen to me, but after trying for several years I give up.
At least my captcha is an easy one:-)
Try snow peas...
Zone 7 here. Peas going in soon, and maybe lettuce. Bought seeds at Southern States and they're monster nags, so I might put in some radishes early just to see if I can get away with it.
Live oak is my second home, Im in s fla making way until we have to retreat back to home, when the time comes and we are prepared.
We get to plant year round down here, but we are buying a canning system and have plans for our few acres of heaven once we have to move back north.
I'm in your neck of the woods, Wake county. Got recommendations on good seed and seedling store?
Bought cool weather vegetable seedlings that were on sale at a nursery in Raleigh but I'm looking to purchase from vendor outside of the cities limits.
I got my seed potatoes at Pace's Grocery on Covered Bridge Rd between Clayton and Archer Lodge.
I get seedlings from Lowe's at 40/42 in Garner.
I buy my seeds online from various places. Try www.heirloomseeds.com.
Tomatoes, squash, zuchinni, peppers, etc., I sprout in those mini greenhouse/planters you can buy at Lowe's.
For fieldpeas try Agribusiness Supply on Hwy 70 in Garner.
Thanks.
My family has always planted potatoes on St. Paddy's Day or the nearest weekend. It has always given us a good crop and is an ancient family saying passed down through the generations.
I have two + months before I can think about planting. Maybe some peas and onions around first week of May if it's a warm spring, but generally speaking, Memorial weekend is planting time. Hell, two years ago we had a killing frost in June. That's global warming for you.
Still have a buttload of canned and frozen from last year, but am getting tired of green beans.....
Here's one for all of you other snowbound bastards with cabin fever:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJUFTm6cJXM
No offense, CC, but I can't take it anymore. I know it's become common usage, but the term is 'boatload', not 'buttload'. And definitely not 'assload'. And while I'm at it, it's 'shedload' not 'shitload'. I mean, seriously, 'shitload' makes absolutely no sense at all.
Sorry, but that's kinda been botherin' me lately. I'm not singling you out, but your post gave me an opportunity. Oh, and hey, good luck with those peas and onions. 8-)
Now we're not even just correcting typos and grammar, but colloquialisms too?
Buttload, assload, shitload, in my opinion would be used when you aren't entirely thrilled with the abundance of whatever you're talking about, hence the "I'm sick of beans."
Can I keep my vegetables in my root cellar, or are you going to insist I call it a fruit cellar? ;)
Awww, fuck, never mind. I guess their subtle meanings escaped me. Might as well invite 'fuckload' to the party, too. As in, "I shoulda bought a fuckload of silver last year." 8-]
My thoughts as well - oh the dilemma, the gut or the guts.
At what price will people practice self dentistry and begin to remove their own fillings?
I can just see it now. You go to the dentist to replace an old filling and you ask for the leftovers in a doggy bag.
mercury ruins silver
The amalgamation can be refined and the Hg removed through a smelting process. Of course, this would only be cost-effective if you had a LOT of dental fillings to work with. It's still a highly toxic and illegal process, though.
The amalgamation is how they mine some of the stuff. They throw mercury on it and let it liquify the silver and gold. Then they drip it dry and cook off the mercury and capture it in condensate.
Many small african tribes have been destroyed by these ancient mining techniques. The mercury is used in such massive quantities that it finally ends up infesting the entire village.
If you have a defective krebs cycle then your body is much worse at removing metals. Only children who have this are damaged severely by these metal laden innoculation injections. Of course all the crappy food we eat is destroying pancreas and causing diabetes and cancer and making everyone subseptible to metal poisoning.
Your comment allows for a nice segue to the benefits of colloidal silver as a chelation therapy for heavy metal toxicity. :-)
Gold fillings, bitchez!!
Last Thursday!
http://tinyurl.com/5us3w7r
Yes CD, however my concern is about when the more desperate of us decide to practice dentistry on others!
Bingo. We have a winner.
By "us" I assume you mean government sponsored uniform wearing "us".
Everytime I need a new filling I make them use plastic. They always want to use silver etc, but I tell them that it causes Alzeimer disease. They look at me like I am crazy. Oh no.........
Ever wonder why Dentists have the highest suicide rate among professionals? Maybe it's all that aerosolized mercury they are breathing in from drilling out old fillings?
I knew one dentist one time who quit and went into the embrodery business and also was a violinist in a country band. He told me he got tired of sticking his fingers in other people's mouths. He does work for the Bandidos MC. Ha ha ha
I went to dental school and practiced for over 10 yrs. and hated almost every minute of it--felt like a mouth janitor. Nevertheless, the porcelain to metal crowns are almost $1000 for a reason (and of course, the gold crowns), that there metal is highly precious and dentists will swipe it when replacing said crowns with new ones while still charging the full amount. Highway robbery, especially these days. So take your old dental work home with you or negotiate a "trade in" when you have dental work replaced.
If you stared at people's mouths everyday, you would to. Not pretty.
Porcelain, bitchez!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Theres palladium in most dentures, just pop it out and lay in on the scales..
SLV writers of those calls at $35 are going to get SLAUGHTERED

A blog by a paranoid crack-pot, lol.
You talking about silvergoldsilver, or Zero Hedge?
"Paranoid crack-pots" have been proven right over and over over the course of the last few years. Perhaps its time for you to rethink who is sane and who isn't?
paranoid crackpots are becoming insanely rich.
I know. I can't hardly help opening up the spreadsheet that has my holdings on it and updating the price.
I might have to buy a monocle before too long, to match my tophat.
careful, the velvet on Tophats is rolled in mercury to make it look shinier, hence the term 'Mad Hatter'... on second thought: that explains a lot.
In a nutshell, is this how you see yourself TMOS?
http://daveibsen.typepad.com/5_blogs_before_lunch/2010/11/mr-peanut-speaks-and-he-sounds-a-lot-like-robert-downey-jr.html
No, more like this: http://gigapple.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/bender_monocle.jpg
Jeez, does no-one watch Futurama?
And hat MAKERS suffered from mercury poisoning, not those using the finished products. Sort of like how dentists hide behind walls when taking your X-rays, you know.
Heh, I KNEW they were up to something! The Dr. said he had to take some x-rays of my balls too; something about 'eugenics', I dunno.
As far as mercury goes, the idea of even low levels of chronic exposure makes me tremble, just a little. Though I have to admit raw seal blubber is hard to resist.
I'll row the boat for you.
That's not a monocle....
Not that rich yet. Two monocles attached to each other? It'll be a while before I'm THAT rich.
Maybe check back in June.
Details my poor old man. Details.
A pince nez is still pretty classy...
I'm wearing an Ascot with matching silk boxers (TMI?) since my newfound wealth.
Just remember, you have to sell the silver at some point to buy the tophat.
That depends on the saavy of your haberdasher.
It might be that ZH has crossed the blog line already...
...from a blog into a sort of news site, silly junkers.
It was never really a blog, just used the format, since content was mostly reporting and speculative investigation rather than opinion.

Looks like Turd is going to win his bet. Where is that troll, goldmiddlefinger?
All Trolls shivering in the corner...
At least one was still out dishing up a little ad hominem this morning.
Their heads are hurting from all the cognitive dissonance.
Amazing, isn't it!
Trolls cannot experience cognitive dissonance because trolls are sociopaths in training.
Too right CD. Trolls experience cognitive interuptus.
Bodybags bitchez!!
Silver's rise is about the same % as WTI crude's rise today.
Commodities are on the move.
http://www.cnbc.com/id/15839171/
Silver backwardation from spot to front month is now $0.10...
backwardation from spot to Dec 2012 is a larger $0.55.
James Turk asks, "Where are the arbitrageurs?"
http://kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/KWN_DailyWeb/Entries/2011/2/21_Turk_-_Silver_Backwardation_Now_Unprecedented_73_Cents.html
Holy crap. It came true after all.
:)
Gold's over $1400 too. Hyperinflation, bitchez!
yes let's not forget Silvers lesser cousin here!!!
I'm in and aiming for $1,444 Oz .....it's a 'General Jim' Sinclair target having given up listening to those f'n retards over at Elliott Wave
Where's the Harry/Hamy one ?
It's a national holiday... you don't expect gov employee to work, do you?
Bingo!
Bingo!
Hamy's coming ....he's just trying to work out how a 1% rise per Week in the Dow works out as his US Dollars lose 2% per Week against all major currencies ...and how that compares to a 600% rise in PM's in the last decade as the Dow has lost 35% against it ...he may be some time drafting a killer punchline to knock everyone out with though!!!!
I heard there's a new porn flick coming out that will be pre-screened at the SEC Tuesday morning...starring Trixie Shapiro entitled Drop My Shorts.
PK's always know about the good porn flicks.
OT...just seen where a couple of Libyan fighter jets landed in Malta with the pilots seeking political asylum...wonder if they are the ones who bombed the protesters heading towards a military base...strange days...
A lot of these old monarchs have been in power a very long time. During that time, technology changed and information flow became much faster and less controlled. The internet came alive in about 1995 or so and since then alternative medias such as twitter and facebook etc sprang up. This fast information flow is causing them major problems. There was a time, when they would turn the army loose on people and nobody would ever know about it. Now videos of soldiers shooting unarmed civilians spring up on youtube. This just makes the people more determined and more angry. The old days are over now. They did not change with the times. They have tried doing things the old way and it has failed and failed miserably. Thanks to the internet, the last bastion of free speech, left on the planet, more or less. Now let us get some fat hamburger eaters in front of the FED building in Washington DC and take care of some much needed business.
I hear ya.
The net has had a major impact on what they can get away with & what they can't.
On the Fed...I don't think we will need to burn it, they're doin a pretty good job of it all by themselves...LOL.
Got some yard work to do...seeya.
Good post, however, I personally think the dirt cheap cellphone with texting capability has had more of an impact on the countries currently going through change. You have to be a bit above the bottom to have a PC with internet, but it seems everybody and Mohammed has a cellphone at this point.
I would pretty much agree with that. Also though you can't discount the impact of internet cafes overseas. Those are a popular option in countries where personal computer ownership and internet access is not as high.
If those two assholes so much as make a comment, they will have their asses kicked.
Does this prove Max Keiser really is a silver-tongued soothsayer?
The Beatles once sang: Bang Bang Maxwells Silver Hammer
Speaking of the Keisers, anyone taken delivery of any of the Max coins? I ordered some, but deferred payment (by money order). I've sent them a couple of e-mails asking when I should pay, but got some generic emails in return. I'm waiting to make payment to make sure they are legit, but have my concerns in that regard. I hope they delivery. Would be a black eye on the silver trade...
My guess is that it was a scam, from the similar reports that I'm hearing. You ought to be talking to the appropriate authorities at this point.
There's also the possibility that they took the money to go long on March future contracts, with the intent of standing for delivery. Perhaps they'll use some of that silver to make the coins. That's the best outcome that I can see; and perhaps I'm too optimistic here.
I hope I'm wrong about this, but in any case, your best approach is to be proactive and get law enforcement on their tails while there's still a trail to follow.
Good luck.
Every time I see that name, I can't help but wondering if those coins with his name/likeness on them ever got delivered.
Save the ones and zeros for $40, you'll be doing alot of updates on the silver price in the next few weeks if you keep up with every dollar up!
Let's see what Blyth does at 1:30 EST.
Curls up in fetal position and cries, hopefully.
There was a lady named blythe,
Whose money ran a little tight,
So she dropped her shorts,
and told her co-horts,
I'm taking off on the Silver Flight.

Poor Blythe....
Where's your apology for Gentleman Jim and the KWN crew, douchebag?
hear, hear!
CIGA's were totally brutalized by General Jim the Carnival Barker
RobotTrader - Fri, Jan 14, 2011 - 09:18 AM
Today is January 14, and panicked CIGA's are selling en masse after being hoodwinked once again by the gold shilling clowns.
Meanwhile, many Max Keiser types over at Zero Hedge tried to short JPM and that stock rocketed straight up.
No doubt, JPM pocketed billions on its silver shorts, as it always does.
Lesson learned:
Never fight the house.
Never trade against the PigMen.
Sensationalist shills such as General Jim, Eric King, James Turk, etc. should always be faded.
"But Jim, you promised!".....
A girl is allowed to change her mind...lol
A girl with a schnitzel?
I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it....
HA HA HA HA HA
"but Jim you promised" HA HA HA
But . . . but . . Tyler, it's not fair to hold somebody responsible for what they said, is it? Especially a month later!
When I started accumulating PM's , years ago, everyone told me I was going against the CB's and would end up a looser. But thousands of years of fiat history told me otherwise...
That's right. No need to listen to the siren's song. Too many do that. They wreck their ships of state on the shores of reality. The reality is real money and always was and the people who run the FED love gold. If they love gold, then why can't anyone else? The goal is to keep your eye on the prize and believe me, they all come back to their daddy, sooner or later.
Today, it's the "Endgame" for Eric King and KWN
RobotTrader - Fri, Jan 14, 2011 - 10:06 AM
Heh, perhaps Eric King should get Samsung or Motorola to advertise on King World News.
Otherwise, that website is going to fold pretty soon.
lol, you going to post them all?
I guess I'll go get a bag of popcorn ready then.
please do--highly entertaining
Thanks TD.
I assume Robo has now been totally discredited on this blog?
Long, long ago.
And Bigger Dickus?
Bigger Dickus should change his name to no dickus.

"The charts are predicting a 2 to 5% correction in silver next week. Hedge accordingly."
http://www.zerohedge.com/article/silver-bears-are-here-again-explaining-...
He still posts funny pictures now and again.
Did he ever actually have any credibility in the first place?
He and Leo Quislingasskiss: two bottom-fishing peas in a rotting pod.
Well done Mr. Durden. Robot Piker you are a class A douche that doesn't know shit. Nobody thinks you are insightful or intelligent. Go troll the Huff Post. People are laughing at you, not with you
I think robot is very insightful. I've learned more about retardation and brain damage in 6 months from robo than I've learned in an entire lifetime of studying retardation and brian damage.
here's an article from a korean news portal (in korean) about the surge in demand for silver:
http://news.nate.com/view/20110219n01721
basically, it says koreans are turning their attention to silver, buying up silver utensils and what not like never before. as far as i know, bullions are available in korea.
And oil skyrocketing; you must be puking up a lung. When will you interview the CEO of Conoco? Pigmen can't afford to fuel the gulfstream, and Robo can't afford his monster truck. LOL...
Is that your girl friend Robo?
At what point will we here ABC, CBS, or NBC mention the rise in silver? Curious they haven't mentioned it yet.
http://guerillatics.com
Why buy now when prices are soaring?
I would only buy at this moment if I didn't have any, or as part of a monthly investment program.
I'm holding my monthly investment for now, though. If I don't see a dip by the end of the week, I'll be buying survival supplies instead...
Yup. We're starting back at the beginning of our list again. More water filters and grains are en route already.
Thanks for that. Just ordered extra water filters myself.
Grains are a screeming bargain imho. You can get really high quality chemical free hard white wheat from wallmart at about 50 cents a pound. At that price, I can get enough food for a family of four to last 3 months all for around 180-200 bucks.
Where do you get raw wheat from Walmart? Online, Sam's Club, the stores? I can't find it under "wheat" on the website.
Ha! LOL. This morning I bought 3 boxes of matches and a 10-pack of Bic Lighters. Honestly, I don't have anything left on my list to buy. If I have chronic dysentery for 10 years I'll still have enough TP to last 20 years. I'm utterly stocked up, except for a new Duke Pecan cracker. The handle on the one I've been using for 20 years has a bend starting in it, and it may break soon. I'll order two more this afternoon.
.
Gold ain't doing too bad either.
James Turk: The backwardation in silver is so bad that spot is now .73 over futures. Mmm... and wonders why the arbitrageurs are not taking advantage of this incredible opportunity -- his own answer -- because there's simply no physical out there for them to do it with!
Looks like Max Keiser wins. Power to the people... Bitchezzz!
this may already by old news to ZH'ers , but i'll throw it out there anyway (actually Jim Sinclair reported this a week ago on his site, minus the company names) . . . . my buddy just received a letter in the mail from Schwab , offering to pay him 5% (yearly rate) to borrow his TRE (Tanzanian Royalty) gold shares .
