It's a sad show, too. How can inflation not be good for silver? Yet they continue to contain silver's price no matter what.

JUNIOR SILVER MINERS NEED TO BREAKOUT ABOVE $16.50~$17.00 FOR BIGGER RALLY
Silver and Silver miners share one key facet that makes them extremely opportunistic for traders. Typically, when these types of cycle phase trends take hold, Gold will rally substantially higher over time. Yet, Silver, which is often overlooked as a metals hedge instrument, begins to rally faster than Gold in a percentage term. For example, from the bottom in 2015 to the current highs, Gold rallied a little over 101% – whereas Silver rallied over 124%. This happened near the end of the previous Appreciation cycle phase. When and if our expectations become true, Gold will rally 50% to 75% (or more) from current levels and Silver may rally 85% to 175% or more.
MINERS MAY SEE AN INCREDIBLE BREAKOUT RALLY IF METALS BEGIN A BIG BULLISH CYCLE
The following Daily Coeur Mining Chart (CDE) highlights the similarities between how the price activity of SILJ and CDE. On the CDE chart, you can see a more defined Pennant/Flag formation that is nearing an Apex. You can also see the bullish breakout event starting to set up on the right side of this chart. If Silver breaks into a bullish trend, pulling SILJ higher as well, CDE will likely break above the $10.50 level and begin to move towards the previous high price level near $12.00 to $12.50 (or higher). This represents a solid 20% to 35% upside price advance for CDE – possibly much higher over time.
Check out KXPLF. Bayhorse Silver is one of the better junior miners and it has recently popped from .10 to .20 It's a quality producer.
It has been heavily shorted for years by the banksters and could see even more upside if the banksters ever lift their fat feet off the neck of silver.
Maybe, but overall it has been going sideways for nearly a year. The leviathan banks keep a giant lid on precious metals. Even after endless trillions in debt money printing--nope. Silver is not allowed to make a Bitcoin-like move.
#SILJ: Only the prior high of $16.30 is in the way of a potential move up to $30.00 ....
https://www.silverdoctors.com/headlines/world-news/let-the-gains-begin/
Once again, SILJ tends to be a leading indicator for the rest of the complex. It broke its downtrend two weeks ago, has successfully backtested it, and now only the prior high of 16.30 is in the way of a potential move up to 30 and beyond. Only a break below the prior low of 13.76 negates this outlook.
All-in-all, the research has been done and everything is pointing north for the complex, at last, but we still need to take out resistance in style before celebrating the gains ahead. The key resistance for Gold is 1800, imho, and it’s close!

Credit of this alert goes to fellow Ape u/otnot20 's post from earlier today, but I don't think his/her post got the attention it is due!!! Thank you!!!----
Here is the last paragraph of Butler Research's report dated today, April 13, 2021, and I quote:
"While I’ve confined my remarks today to the 300 million ounces that BofA borrowed and sold short last year, there is another 100 million ounces borrowed and sold short since the start of this year and all told, I would estimate that at least 400 to 500 million ounces of silver have been borrowed and sold short in total. This amount of shorted silver is completely distinct and separate from the formidable concentrated short position in COMEX silver futures. It is the combination of these two separate short positions, currently totaling as much as 850 million ounces that explains the otherwise inexplicable insanely low price of silver. Furthermore, that much silver could never have been bought in the open market without launching the price to the heavens." Ted Butler, Butler Research; Source:

WSB Was Very, "PRO-SILVER," at One Point. Why WSB Banned Silver, and What's to Come
Weekend Discussion
I know a Lot of people, like myself, from the Original Group of WSB Degenerates; Migrated Directly to This Forum From WSB; The Moment the $GME frenzy began.
We saw it coming. We read the deleted posts. Alot of people on WSS are the OG WSB members. the good people. the true autsits.
This WSS forum is special, cherish this because it will be destroyed, just like WSB was - at one point in time, WSB loved silver.
Let me explain for anyone that is new (and btw, i welcome all newcomers. thank you for being here and thank you for your contributions. you are loved. WSS is WSB).
a little unknown WSB history: In summer of 2020, something special happened and it was known as r/wallstreetbets .. the DD was unreal. we were told time and time again by jim cramer, that we were wrong - and within weeks of Cramer calling us stupid, another stock we predicted would absolutely sky rocket. $NIO $XPEV anyone???? yea. WSB was special. it was incredible... but, it was polluted in 2021 after the historic GME gamma squeeze.
before wsb became a toxic shit stain on the internet, there was SLV gang. We didn’t know what SLV was yet, they didn't seem like criminals yet. we didn't know back then....
The idea in the summer of 2020, was to make wild cash in the casino when it was hot. Then hunker the fuck down because after we saw GameStop moving. And realized that DFV was right. This short interest north of 100% made sense. We loved the stock. Humble beginnings in GME as a nerdy kid buying video games oh my god I love that store. But the plan was, that after the GME madness ended- SLV gang was already making plans to jump to silver; because we were already talking about silver. With this GME short squeeze going down right before our eyes; the SLV Gang posts on WSB were rampant. "SLV Gang," posts were like a wildfire spreading so fast...
but, WSB Mods removed SLV Gang posts, all the sudden. They censored it. They removed it and they would block anyone talking about silver all the sudden in like, October- yes. weird. But... I didn’t think anything of it.
Now I see. Because of that. There are a lot of WSB OG’s here because the silver situation....
This silver trade - there is no way it can go tits up.
This literally cannot fail.
We believed in GameStop early because of the same reason we believe in silver now, except silver is safer.
Silver will go up. But the question is, When? Well we asked ourselves that about GME in summer 2020.... it felt like it took a while for GME to go parabolic, bc we were obsessed with it. . But when The GME situation began, We saw it coming.
You did too if you were in the WSB forum at the time.
and guys - with silver, it has begun. But. It. Is. Now. A. Waiting. Game.
We kept discussing, about GME, "I cannot believe it’s going from $4-$6 this is insane I can’t believe this." Then it happened. Kaboom. The GME momentum.. Guys ive been trading for 12 years and i've NEVER SEEN anything like it. There is a reason that movement went global-
- And Silver will do the same thing. Silver is just as real as the GME squeeze.
Only difference in the trade with silver , is that you can hold physical pieces of silver (you cannot hold a physcial piece of gme). For this reason- this squeeze will be the true MOASS. and i'm not fucking kidding you. if you are in this forum. deep in this forum. we are brothers. shit is going to get wild at some point guys. This metal is so valuable. Never lose faith, no matter how long it takes.
We diamond handed Gme and learned our fucking lesson with these hedge fund slugs. - they will restrict trading. these hedge funds will break so many laws to protect their precious funds. but we have the numbers. and we have the belief.
We got mother fuckers eating crayons, drinking their own pee & getting rockets tattoo'd on their fucking asses over the GME squeeze. these hedgefunds HAVE NO CLUE WHO THE FUCK THEY ARE DEALING WITH.
And bros, that same energy we felt over GME for the longest time before it was absolutely destroyed. it lives here, in WSS. in the form of physical silver. you don't get to fuck my physcial silver, you swamp dwelling hedgefunds.
This time, the hedgefunds will not win.
Guys if silver squeezes. Aka- If more dominos keep falling, and more war and money printing and bla bla bla. Yea, Silver will 100% do a GME style gamma/short squeeze- and go absolutely parabolic. but remember, while they'll break every law in existence to screw you on the digital platforms - they cannot take your physical metal away.
That’s the difference between the two trades. (Well the market cap is way higher in silver. So, harder to squeeze something like that. Gme had low float).
But, Silverbacks are the true ?????? bc the gov can’t restrict our buying. and WSB used to support silverbacks. In fact, the entire subreddit in late july and early august 2020 was part of "SLV Gang" because we all made so much money on that late July/early August 2020 $SLV price increase from $20-$30/share.
New Apes, Keep your faith. Trust me. Silver is so so so valuable. Elder Apes, you are here for the same degenerate reason I am, you love the metal. Just like you loved the GME stock.
Remember everyone, now - You must. Have. Patience.
You want the next doge coin % gainer, Without the risk. you want the next GME? you wanna see a true fucking short squeeze like never before seen on earth?
IF SILVER SQUEEZES, you will see a shit storm of madness the size of 1000 GME's on steroids.
While they laugh at us from their mansions, watching MSNBC thinking everything is just peachy... We have prepared ourselves for war. And like the brave 300 Spartans, we are ready and willing to die, for honor. For our children.
We have been locked down and beaten mentally and physically by their bullshit for so long. We have found the weak spot in their armor. And we have NOTHING to lose anymore. We are all prepared to die on this hill, for a better future for our children and for their children.
*smears war paint on face*
When A Man Sees His End, He Wants To Know There Was Some Purpose To His Life. If you find yourself alone, riding in green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled; for you are in Elysium, and you're already dead! Brothers, what we do in life, echoes in eternity. When the time is right, we will unleash hell.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
TL;DR - r/wallstreetbets used to be pro silver. "SLV Gang," was a thing, before we knew how slimy SLV was. and right as silver hit $30 in august 2020, WSB began shutting it down. coincidence? i don't think so anymore. we just couldn't see the future yet. Silver is the play. This will happen. Will we live to see it? That is the question.
We will dine under the bright Valhalla stars, gentlemen. If we don't, our children will.
Hodl the fucking line.
If you've been on these forums since last summer, you know exactly what i'm talking about:
Oh, and - To the Hedgefunds that fucked GME for us... When you try to fuck our physical metal, Remember this. The people you're trying to step on, we're everyone you depend on. We're the people who do your laundry and cook your food and serve your dinner. We make your bed. We guard you while you're asleep. We drive the ambulances. We direct your call. We are cooks and taxi drivers and we know everything about you. We process your insurance claims and credit card charges. We control every part of your life. We are the middle children of history, raised by television to believe that someday we'll be millionaires and movie stars and rock stars, but we won't. And we're just learning this fact- SO . DO . NOT . FUCK . WITH . US.

In the squeeze of 1979-1980, the regulators literally pulled a ‘GameStop’ on the silver market. Or in reality, the more recent action with GameStop was regulators pulling a ‘silver’. The regulators will try everything in their power to prevent the squeeze from happening again, but this time it’s not two brothers and a couple of Saudi princes buying millions of ounces each (or just Warren Buffet on his own), but rather it’s millions of retail investors buying a few ounces each. There is no cornering the market going on. This is actual silver demand running headlong into a silver market that banks have irresponsibly shorted to such a level that they deserve the losses that hit them. They’ve been manipulating and toying with silver investors for decades and profiting off of illegal collusion. Bailing out the banks as their losses pile up would be truly reprehensible action by our government, and tacit admission that our government is ok with a few big banks on the short side stealing billions from small individual investors.

Silver has not challenged its breakout level.
A higher high in 2021.
Consolidation continues - it’s just a matter of time - some inputs point to inflation.
The silver-gold ratio is a bullish sign for the silver market.
SILJ is likely to outperform the metal on the next leg higher.

We have just passed the first anniversary of silver's elevator shaft ride to the lowest level since 2009. The volatile precious metal became a falling knife during last year's COVID-19-inspired risk-off period. The price fell through technical support at the December 2015 $13.635 low on its way to $11.74 per ounce.
The spike low did not last for long. Silver was back over the $12 level in March 2020. In April, the price rose above $16 per ounce. May took silver to a high of over $18.50, and in July, the price eclipsed the level of critical technical resistance at the July 2016 $21.095 high. In 2020, silver reached a high of $29.915 per ounce, the highest price since early 2013. Last year's $18.175 range was the widest since 2011 when silver reached a high of $49.82 per ounce.
As we head towards the end of 2021's first quarter, silver has been sleeping. Since the start of this year, the range has been $6.31 on the continuous futures contract, but the precious metal put in a marginally higher high when it traded to $30.35 on February 1. Silver was sitting below the midpoint of its 2021 trading range on Monday, March 22, as the precious metal is consolidating and digesting its gains over the past year.
This could be the perfect time to add the ETFMG Prime Junior Silver Miners ETF product (SILJ) to your portfolio. As we learned last year, when silver decides to take off on the upside, the volatile metal takes no prisoners.
Silver has not challenged its breakout level
Last July, silver broke above its critical long-term resistance level at the July 2016 $21.095 peak. The resistance often becomes support, but silver has not returned near that level in 2021.
The weekly chart of the nearby COMEX silver futures contract highlights that the low in 2021 was at $24.04 per ounce in mid-January, which was $2.945 above the $21.095 breakout level. Silver has been digesting the price rise from 2020 and has made a series of higher lows.
The total number of open long and short positions in the silver futures arena stood at the 161,387-contract level as of March 19. The high in 2021 was at 184,832 contracts on February 1 when GameStop (NYSE:GME) inspired buying caused speculators to flock to the silver market. The open interest metric rose to 207,490 contracts in early August 2020 as silver reached its 2020 peak. The decline in open interest reflects an overall lack of investor and speculative interest in the silver market as the price moves sideways in its consolidation range.
The slow stochastic, a momentum indicator, was declining below a neutral reading. Even though silver has made higher lows throughout 2021, price momentum is falling. Relative strength is sitting at a neutral reading. Meanwhile, at 22.54%, weekly historical volatility is near the lowest level of 2021. The weekly price variance metric rose to a high of over 74% last March when silver plunged and moved to a lower high at over 68% in September 2020 when silver corrected to $21.96, its lowest level since it broke above the 2016 high. Silver volatility tends to spike higher during market corrections.
The bottom line is that while the bullish sentiment has evaporated from the silver market, the price has not violated any technical levels that would jeopardize the overall bullish price trend.
A higher high in 2021
The move to a higher high at $30.35 on February 1 was inspired by the wild speculative action inspired by GameStop and other stocks with high short interest levels.
On February 1, I wrote an article on Seeking Alpha titled Game On In Silver: This Could Be For Real. In that price and one that followed on March 1, I expressed the view that silver is digesting its rally, and it is just a matter of time before the price resumes its upward trajectory.
Silver rose to a higher high on February 1 and then corrected to a higher low of $24.905 on the continuous contract during the first week of March. I see no reason to alter my opinion of the silver market as the price trades sideways below the midpoint of its consolidation range.
Consolidation continues - It's just a matter of time - Some Inputs Point To Inflation
The long-term trend in the silver market remains bullish at just above the $25.75 level on March 22.
As the quarterly chart illustrates, long-term price momentum and relative strength indicators continue to point to a bullish trend in the silver market. A closing price above the $26.525 level on the nearby COMEX silver futures contract would establish the fourth consecutive quarterly gain in the silver futures market.
While silver consolidates, the US bond market has become a falling knife.
The chart of the US 30-Year Treasury bond futures contract shows the downward trajectory of the long bond and the upward pressure on interest rates on the yield curve. While the Fed keeps the short-term Fed Funds rate at zero percent and continues to purchase $120 billion in debt securities each month, bonds are ignoring the central bank. Simultaneously, the Fed continues to ignore the signal from the bond market that inflationary pressures are rising.
Inflation is historically bullish for silver and all commodity prices. Copper remains above $4 per pound, the highest level in a decade. Despite the recent correction, crude oil is sitting at over $61.50 per barrel. Grains are at over six-year highs, and many other raw material prices are validating the price action in the bond market. When real interest rates rise, it increases the cost of carrying commodities and weighs on their prices. However, when rates move to the upside because of inflation, commodities tend to appreciate.
Another bullish sign for the silver market is its historical price relationship with gold, the yellow metal that plays an integral role in the global financial system.
The silver-gold ratio is a bullish sign for the silver market
The silver-gold ratio had a volatile year in 2020. Before reverting towards the long-term median level, it exploded to a new record high when silver took the elevator shaft lower last March.
The long-term quarterly chart of the price of gold divided by silver's price shows that the ratio traded at a low of 15.47:1 in 1979 and rose to an all-time peak of 111.42:1 in 2020. The midpoint for the forty-one-year range is at 63.45:1. On Monday, March 22, April gold settled at $1738.10, with May silver at $25.769. The ratio was 67.45:1 as it moved towards the long-term median level.
The ratio tends to drop during bullish trends in the precious metals markets and rise when they are in bear markets. When gold and silver hit highs in 1980 and 2011, the ratio was well below the median level.
I view the current downward trend in the ratio as a bullish factor for gold and silver prices over the coming months.
SILJ is likely to outperform the metal on the next leg higher
As silver consolidates and digests the latest new high at $30.35 on February 1, the price is now over $4.50 below the most recent peak. Now could be the perfect time to purchase silver mining shares on a scale-down basis before the next leg to the upside.
Silver mining shares tend to outperform the price of silver on the upside and underperform during price corrections. Therefore, they act as leveraged tools for the silver market. Most leveraged products involve time decay as they use put and call options to create the gearing. However, silver mining shares have no expiration dates. The leverage comes from the ability to extract more silver at higher production costs from the earth's crust as the price of the metal appreciates.
The top holdings and fund summary for the ETFMG Prime Junior Silver Miners ETF product (SILJ) include:
Source: Yahoo Finance
SILJ has $808.861 million in assets under management. The ETF product trades an average of over 1.83 million shares each day and charges a 0.69% management fee.
Nearby silver futures rose from $11.74 in March 2020 to a high of $30.35 on February 1, 2021, or 158.5%. Since then, silver fell to a low of $24.905 in early March or 17.94%.
Over the same period, the SILJ ETF rose from $4.84 to $18.84 per share or 289.3%. SILJ then fell to $13.73 per share or 27.1% lower than the February 1 high. The ETF offers market participants a leveraged risk position compared to the nominal price action in the silver futures market.
As silver consolidates, the precious metal could be a sleeping giant with incredible returns on the horizon in the coming months and years. I am a buyer of SILJ on a scale-down basis on price weakness as I expect higher highs in silver that will take the price to levels above the all-time 1980 peak at $50.36 per ounce. SILJ could turbocharge the percentage move in the silver market on the upside.

Disconnect between the Paper Price and Physical Price
There is a disconnect between on the one hand, the COMEX futures and London spot OTC market and on the other hand, the physical precious metals market.
Unless there is a very strong rally in the paper market that balances physical demand and supply, the disconnect between the paper market and physical market may widen until the paper pricing system (COMEX futures and LBMA unallocated system) implodes.
In a scenario where the paper spot market doesn’t rally to balance physical demand and supply, physical precious metals will no longer be priced based on the spot market. Bullion dealers will stop pricing metals. Many have already done so by suspending the accepting of orders.
When preferences in the derivatives paper spot and futures markets, which are unbacked or only partially backed by precious metals, differ from supply and demand in the physical market, prices disconnect.

I know the mint doesn't have enough silver to make Silver Eagles. I know the endless trillions in paper buck printing should send silver skyrocketing. I know many expect it to skyrocket. I did too and I thought it nearly 20 years ago.
Yet silver remains under the fat thumb of the globalist bankers. They control the COMEX. They control all the regulatory agencies.
Silver will go up when they want it too...who knows when that might be. Silver meanwhile does not follow economic reality.

Stagflation Subterfuge: The Real Disaster Hidden By The Pandemic
Tyler Durden's Photo

MONDAY, MAR 08, 2021 - 23:25
Authored byby Brandon Smith via Birch Gold Group,
In recent economic news, headlines are being dominated by concerns over rising bond yields. Increased bond yields are a sign of a possible spike in inflation and, logically, they call for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates in order to prevent that inflation.
Higher bond yields also mean there is a competitive alternative to stocks for investors – both factors that could trigger a plunge in the stock market.
If one studies the real history behind the stock market crash during the Great Depression, they will find that it was the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes that caused and prolonged the disaster after they had created an environment of cheap and easy money throughout the 1920s. Former Chairman Ben Bernanke openly admitted the Fed was responsible back in 2002 in a speech honoring Milton Friedman. He stated:
“In short, according to Friedman and Schwartz, because of institutional changes and misguided doctrines, the banking panics of the Great Contraction were much more severe and widespread than would have normally occurred during a downturn. Let me end my talk by abusing slightly my status as an official representative of the Federal Reserve. I would like to say to Milton and Anna: Regarding the Great Depression. You’re right, we did it. We’re very sorry. But thanks to you, we won’t do it again.”
This then raises the question – inflation or deflation? Will the Fed “do it again?”
Probably not in exactly the same way, but we will see elements of both inflation and deflation soon in the form of stagflation.
It’s a Catch-22 that the central bank has created, and many (including myself) believe that the Fed has created the conundrum deliberately. All central banks are tied together by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and the BIS is a globalist institution through and through. The globalist agenda seeks to trigger what they call the “Great Reset,” a complete reformation of the global economy and capitalism into a single one world socialist system… managed by the globalists themselves, of course.
In my view the Fed has always been a kind of institutional suicide bomber; its job is to self-destruct at the right moment and take the U.S. economy down with it, all in the name of spreading its cult-like globalist ideology.
The only unknown at this point is how they will go about their sabotage. Will the central bank continue to allow inflation to explode the cost of living in the U.S., or will they intervene with higher interest rates and allow stock markets to crash?
Either way, we face a serious economic crisis in the near future.
Increasing Inflation Means Economic Recovery?
Mainstream economists will often argue that rising yields and inflation are a “good thing.” They claim this is a sign of rapid economic recovery. I disagree.
If “inflation” was the same as “recovery,” then there would not have been total economic collapses in Argentina in 2002, in Yugoslavia in 1994, or in Weimar Germany in the early 1920s.
I do not see recovery. What I see is the rapid devaluation of the dollar’s buying power due to massive fiat printing through stimulus measures. The Fed and the U.S. government are buying a short-term surge in economic activity, but at a hidden cost. This is a condition that the Dollar Index does not even begin to address, but obvious in prices of necessary goods and commodities.
Keep in mind that all of this is being done in the name of responding to the pandemic. The pandemic is the ultimate excuse for the active destruction of the U.S. economy. Stimulus measures have devolved into helicopter money being thrown about haphazardly as billions are siphoned primarily by major corporations and through fraud. People who are clamoring for a $2,000 relief check from the government have no idea that corporate welfare has been ongoing for the past year along with billions in retroactive tax refunds. All of that money printing is going to cause damage somewhere. It cannot be avoided.
It’s Not About The Pandemic
Let’s make something clear first: The pandemic is NOT the reason for the stimulus flood. The pandemic did very little to hurt actual business in the U.S. Rather, it was the lockdowns that did most of the damage.
Think about that for a moment – federal and state governments crushed the economy through lockdowns, then offered the solution of vast stimulus measures. This in turn is destroying financial stability and generating rapid price inflation.
Conservative states and counties that refused to shut down are recovering at a much faster pace than leftist states which imposed draconian restrictions on citizens. Yet, the lockdowns did nothing to stop the spread of COVID-19 in blue states. So, the lockdowns accomplished no discernible advantage for the public, but they did give the central bank a perfect rationale to further erode the dollar.
This resulting price inflation is something that not even the red states can escape.
For example, home prices are rapidly expanding beyond the market bubble of 2006. This is partially due to millions of people participating in perhaps the largest migration in the U.S. since the Great Depression. Anyone who is able is moving away from major cities into suburban and rural areas. But, home prices also have a historic habit of inflating along with currency devaluation. The cost of maintaining and remodeling an older home, or building a new home, rises as the prices of commodities like lumber inflate.
And lumber prices are certainly inflating! Softwood lumber prices are up at least 110% from a year ago, and are climbing as much as 10% in a week.
Home rentals also do not escape inflation, as the rising cost of maintaining properties forces landlords to increase rents. The only places where rents are decreasing are major cities that Americans are seeking to flee, such as New York and San Francisco.
Inflation In More Than Just Housing
The majority of commodities continue to see price inflation across the board. Food and energy prices have been creeping higher for the past year. Governments are once again blaming the pandemic and “stresses on the supply chain,” which may have been a believable claim nine months ago, but not today. Anything to hide the fact that all that stimulus has inflationary consequences.
Dollar devaluation is the most visible in terms of imported goods. In other words, it costs more dollars to buy goods outside the U.S. as the value of the dollar falls. And since the majority of U.S. retail is supplied by foreign producers, this means that average American consumers will suffer the brunt of inflationary consequences. Public stress and anger will be high.
Pandemic Lockdowns Are Just An Excuse
This is why the COVID-19 lockdowns must continue and the pandemic fear factory must remain active. The globalists need a cover event for the Reset and they need to keep the citizenry under control, and the pandemic can be blamed for just about anything. I think this is why we are already seeing the media hyping the existence of “COVID mutations.” Do not be surprised if the Biden Administration tries to implement a national lockdown sometime this year in the name of stopping the spread of a “more deadly” COVID-19 variant.
It won’t matter that the previous lockdowns were useless and all the data shows that keeping the economy open is a superior policy. It might seem like logic is going completely out the window, but there is a very logical reason for what is happening in the minds of globalists.
Stagflation comes into play through losses in certain sectors of the economy, high unemployment and the inability of wages to keep up with costs.
There is the continued dismantling of the small business sector, which, again, I believe is being destroyed deliberately. It’s not a mistake that small businesses were predominantly targeted as “non-essential” during the lockdowns. It’s also not a coincidence that the majority of COVID-19 PPP loans went to big box corporations while small businesses received almost nothing. The small business sector is being erased, leaving only the corporate sector to provide for consumers.
This may be why Democrats are so adamant about raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. Wages are already rising according to market demand and region. The average non-skilled worker in the U.S. is making around $11 an hour. There is no need for the government to interfere, unless they have ulterior motives.
A $15 minimum wage would likely crush what’s left of small businesses, and only corporations that are receiving the bulk of stimulus dollars will be able to afford to pay workers the higher rate. On top of that, years from now the government could claim they “took action” to front-run stagflation by increasing people’s pay. But a $15 minimum wage is most useful to the establishment in the short term because it muddies the waters on the inflation issue.
Prices will continue to rise due to dollar devaluation, but the media and government will say that it has nothing to do with the dollar and everything to do with companies raising shelf prices to offset increased labor costs.
The Biggest Threat In The History Of American Society
I suspect that the establishment will do everything in its power to distract the public from the biggest threat in the history of American society – the stagflationary time bomb
If they admit to its existence then the public could prepare for it, and they don’t want that. If Americans were to decentralize their local economies, support local small businesses instead of big box retailers, start producing necessities for themselves, and if they started developing currency alternatives like local scrip backed by commodities… then they would be able to survive a national financial crisis.
In fact, I guarantee that any community, county or state that takes these steps will immediately be targeted by the federal government, further revealing the truth: The establishment wants the public to suffer.
They want economic disaster. They do not want people to have the option of taking care of themselves. They need people scared, desperate and malleable, or they will never achieve their Reset agenda.

This is a double bottom chart. Just completed. After over a half year of consolidation. fIAT PRINTING GONE WILD, THE MONEY IS POURING INTO THE SYSTEM, there is inflation in real things now. The kitco article and chart suggest a breakout move SOON NOW shortly, or test of last year's high, then a slight pullback, then the true breakout. Strategy now: DO NOTHING. HAVE BASIC PATIENCE. LET IT PLAY
OUT. https://www.kitco.com/commentaries/2021-02-23/Gold-crypto-stk-mkt-key-tactics-now.html
Silver Miners Fund SILJ to 45. BTW this is supported by fundamentals too, obviously. They are making record profits but this is just starting. Soon they will be printing serious money as silver rises.

Silver is less than 2 weeks away from a breakout....2 to 4 sessions?
"We are at the tipping point." Alain Corbani is spot on in his analysis. Corbani says there will be a revolt if rates go higher. IN fact, the whole system will collapse. Every word Cobani says is true. End Game now, in favor finally of silver. Inflation gonna go ape.

buy anything at the current price....silj will be a top performer across the board as money comes in looking for a home and looking for bitcoin like thrills. ....the profits will speak for themeselves. SILJ is the only game and only fund of its type: smallish silver companies.
sounds strange but this is a necessary day for slv and silj....let the bit coin (or electronic digit thing) get the balloon popped, and the general markets as well.
New money will come in search of SLV and something that will go up a multiple of SLV, which is SILJ, where the miners are currently making a ton and as silver ascends it all falls to their bottom lines....
Buy on these pullbacks. They won't last. Jay Powell will tell people do not worry, he will inflate to the ends of the earth. And he must.
been buying silj all day. should have bought friday the last couple hours but am trying to make up for it by buying even more......my best guess is that silj will outperform silver, which will far outperform gold...
Is this fund the next bitcoin? ......looks like we finally are gonna get inflation and a lot of inflation. I mean a real lot of inflation.
throw in throw in solar panels exploding in usage, and silj might be a dynamic thing to own the next couple years.
but I should of bought late on friday.
