Silver Slammed & Crude Clubbed

Why? Just because...and note this plunge began before the data hit this morning on heavy volume.

Don't worry it will all work out in the end.

NOSTRADAMUS: Century 8, Quatrain 28

The copies of gold & silver inflated,
which after the theft were thrown into the lake
at the discovery that all is exhausted & dissipated by debt.
All scrips and bonds will be wiped out.

Interesting. I have one of my own:

"And so it was written by all signs and portents

Janet Yellen is a seeping boil on the ass of a cancerous rodent who deserves to be eaten by Komodo Dragons and then crapped off a cliff."

Er, something like that.  Nostra-dumb-ass.

Indeed! And in the meantime, the "Markets" have to assimmilate a Record number of Naked Short Contracts by the Commercials. So, unfortunately, as I predicted several weeks ago, and was positioned to profit from, expect a major downside move in PM's to at least the low end of the respective ranges.

Well, we know the spike the other day was a BS head-fake at this point.

Not worried. Um... we are in a "bottoming process," LOL. 

What other silly Wall Street sell-side language can we use to describe the current silver situation?

Does today's selloff stick or bounce? There are an awful lot of naked shorts to be covered. Current action looks more technical in nature. Price turend at a magic line or squiggle on the chart.

Shorts will be covered when price is dropping, not rising.

And tomoorow's BLSBS will provide another pretext to sell down the PM's further, irrespective of the "Data". Don't get me wrong, I'm a stacker, but The Commercials, as of now, still OWN the paper PM markets and they are about to commence another Wash/Rinse cycle. I trade with them and stack at the bottom of their cycles.

In the meantime probably some bargain basement miners around, if you are willing to hold, and they have little debt and low production costs.

Meh.  This is their finishing move so they can go long.  Big dump at the end of a downtrend in metals, blowing stops for a trading bottom.  Big dump after a ramp, bankers breaking a trend to stop a rally, and wait for the hourly double top before joining them.

It's the same when they tell us there is no inflation... sure, plane tickets did not go up, for example...you just don't get food, pay extra for luggage, check in yourself, etc. 

Inflation is when you get less for your money, not only when prices go up but don't expect CNBC to tell you that.

Usually agree with you Tylers, but in this case I think you've got the manipulation backwards. The real manipulation was on Monday, and oil futures are merely settling back into the falling channel they've been in for the past month.

As most of us see on a daily basis, oil futures have consistently been ramped higher in order to fuel stock algos, particularly when the more influential yen carry trade is faltering.

Consider the CL ramp job a backup for the normally very reliable USDJPY ramp job.  And, it makes sense because CL and DX are strongly inversely correlated.  Falling USDJPY means a weakening USD which means a stronger CL which..tada...means stocks rally. 

In other words, thanks to the advent of the CL-fueled algos, it's become very difficult for the "markets" to decline at all unless there's a headline-grabbing fundamental development that somehow gets bears off their asses and motivates buy-and-hold types to trim back.

You can see CL break out of its month-old falling channel Monday night in order to arrest plunging e-minis -- which were off 23 points from Monday's highs.  The resulting 2-day rally in the e-minis was 26 points.

Last night, CL merely rejoined the falling channel it had broken out of.  The failed breakout -- needless to say -- is not helping stocks.  You can see the CL v ES chart here:

Oil is still $58 which is easily $20 too high thanks to the algos trying to ignite whatever they are trying to ignite. I don;t think anyone really has a clue what the fuck is going on. Skynet has taken over.

The market goes up or down based on some computer algorithm nobody has any control over.

It's like watching two computer controlled teams playing Madden Football. ESPN runs Super Bowl matchups using the game and tries to apply what happened in a computer simulation to what will happen in the real world. IT'S FUCKING INSANE.

Understand:

1. Peak debt that cannot undergird these papers. Movements downs are not linear. It amplify (i.e concave),

2. Algos dancing to music scores. At some intervals, the scores change.

3. No more market price discovery. Just the spins and/or enforcements of the Bureaucrats. (they do not know what they are doing and not very interested in YOU).

Just 3 guideposts. You may also add that the game goes on as there is still a large pop of retards that buy poisons as perfumes. (Poisons are to be traded and not used).

Dawn of individual hope is to see rats in granaries.
