best,
heidi
that does this mean. as mentioned, 1st of april right after otc expiration such a surge
peoples confidence in king cash will be destroyed. agree more in j.howard kunstler's [sarcastical] THE WAY OUT! It’s not what most people think: a return to some hypothetical “normality,” with the ghost of Ronnie Reagan beaming down like a sun-god under his lopsided pompadour, and all the happy self-driving GM cars toodling back and forth from WalMart-to-home loaded to the scuppers with new electric pop-tart warmers and 3-D underwear printers (Or drone deliveries of same from Amazon.com.)
I mean, surely the thinking folk out there must be asking themselves: what is the way out of this Federal Reserve three-card-monte, one-percenter-stuffing, so-called “economy,” and what is the destination of this society when that mendacious model for living fails?
I digress for a moment: there was a chap named Richard Duncan on the pod-waves this weekend (FSN Network) putting out the charming idea that quantitative easing (QE — governments “printing” money to buy their own bonds) had the effect of “cancelling debt” and that it could continue for decades to come. I don’t doubt that there are Federal Reserve officers who believe this. The part they leave out — and Mr. Duncan also left it out until pressed — is that there are consequences. Consult the operating manual of the universe, and you will find that there really is no free lunch or get-out-of-jail card.
The truth is, when you rig a money system with price interventions, distortions, and perversions, they will eventually express themselves in ways destructive to the system. In the present case of world-wide QE and central bank monkey business, these rackets are expressing themselves, finally, in wobbling currencies. In many nations, people are deeply unsure of what their money is worth, and how much it might be worth a month from now. This includes the USA, except for the moment our money is said to be magically appreciating in value compared to everyone else’s. Aren’t we special?
Get this: nothing is more hazardous than undermining people’s trust in their money. All of this financial perfidy conceals the basic fact that the human race has reached the limits of techno-industrialism. There are too many people and not enough basic resources to grow more of them — oil, fishes, soil, ores, fertilizers — and there is no steady-state “solution” to keep that economy going. In other words, it must either grow or contract, and it can’t really grow anymore (despite the exertions of government statisticians), so the authorities are trying to provide a monetary illusion of growth, when instead we’re in contraction.
.
Yes, contraction. The way out is to get with the program, shed the dead-weight and go where reality wants to take you. In the USA that means do everything possible to quit supporting giant failing systems — Big Box shopping, mass motoring, GMO agribiz, TBTF banks — and get behind local Main Street integrated economies, walkable towns, regular railroads, smaller and more numerous farms, local medical clinic health care, artistry in public works, and community caretaking of the unfit. All this surely implies a reduced role for the national government, and maybe the states, too. You could call it a lower standard of living, or just a different way to live.
I don’t think we’ll go there via rational political discourse. The current instabilities around the world are so sinister that they are liable to lead to even more strenuous efforts at the top to pretend that everything’s working, and even war is one way to pretend you’re okay (and the “other guy” isn’t). Of course, war has already broken out, in the MidEast and Ukraine, and it has everything to do with the sequential failure of nations, in one way or another, to overcome the limits of techno-industrialism. America will be dragged kicking and screaming to the realization of what it needs to do. The 2016 election will be the convulsion ...
surge impo. but mainly depending of amount of covering short OI by commercials and if others will be forced to do so. expiration days is one thing, bk of ukraine and mideast war scenario is the other ... gamechanger. ur question will be answered by 1st of april
don't forget about todays option expiration day!
for the March contract month:
2303 (notices served so far) + { OI for front month of March(346) -number of notices served upon today (154} x 5000 oz = 12,475,000 oz standing for the March contract month.
we lost an additional 760,000 oz of silver standing in this March delivery month.
yes!
good Idea. tell him kind regards from heidi pls
Dunno about the value of this PO and further contracts but Kaman doesn't look bad:

hi star. nice swings on joez out there. lovely
am a lazy writer
thx for link. interesting. next 12 - 24 months is what I stated earlier. IBC's unstopable rise will start in 2016/17 ...engineered materials, different alloys, warproducts and loads of headroom in production for third parties...if management don't ruin the story before.
seems specs have to cover and will be doomed on their shortpositions. also some cap from gold flows into silver. btw on zeal is a good chart about updated SLV

check company news
so well. this is not a bad reading, isn't it ...Second Quarter Highlights:
Revenue of $5.08 million representing a 9.5% increase over the previous quarter and a 31.5% increase over the same period in the previous fiscal year.
Copper Alloys revenue of $4.42 million, up 21% over the comparative period.
Engineered Materials revenue of $672,000, an increase of 226% over the comparative fiscal period.
Loss for the period was $706,000, representing a 20% improvement compared to the same quarter in the previous fiscal year.
Year to Date Highlights
Revenue of $9.73 million representing an 11% increase over the same period in the previous fiscal year.
Copper Alloys revenue of $8.40 million, up 6% over the comparative period.
Engineered Materials revenue of $1.33 million, an increase of 65% over the comparative fiscal period.
Loss for the period was $1.23 million, representing an 18.5% improvement compared to the same quarter in the previous fiscal year.
Commentary and Corporate Update
IBC recorded strong sales growth in Q2 with sales up 9.5% from Q1. This is a very favourable result as sales typically decline by between 10% and 20% in Q2 due to the effect of holidays on production and shipping. Both production divisions enjoyed good growth as discussed below.
Anthony Dutton, IBC's chief executive officer commented, "After a long period of business reorganization and investment, it was very gratifying to see strong financial performance in our second fiscal quarter. Our Engineered Materials operations are hitting their stride and, based on our initial success with producing aerospace components, we look forward to expanding defence-sector sales significantly."
Engineered Materials
Q2 marked a major milestone for Engineered Materials as it shipped some F-35 components for machining and was able to recognize related contract milestone payments as revenue. Most of the contract revenue and margin from the F-35 components will be recognized in succeeding quarters when final components are to be delivered.
Engineered Materials continues to incur a loss from operations since plant utilization is low and indeed below breakeven, but the division is working to get into additional defence programs.
Copper Alloys
The strength in Copper Alloys sales was broad based and the division enjoyed increased sales in spite of weak copper prices. Changes in product mix adversely affected margins, but the effect was not significant.
Copper Alloys operating income was helped by a $222 doubtful debt recovery when it collected in full accounts receivable that were fully provided for.
Corporate
Corporate liquidity remains sensitive as the expansion of Engineered Materials has been cash intensive. The Company is, however, in discussions with several groups regarding preferred financing options but has not yet reached any agreements.

The middle class has shrunk consistently over the past half-century. Until 2000, the reason was primarily because more Americans moved up the income ladder. But since then, the reason has shifted: There is a greater share of households on the lower rungs of the economic ladder.
– From yesterday’s New York Times article: Middle Class Shrinks Further as More Fall Out Instead of Climbing Up
At a packed session in Davos, former hedge fund director Robert Johnson revealed that worried hedge fund managers were already planning their escapes. “I know hedge fund managers all over the world who are buying airstrips and farms in places like New Zealand because they think they need a getaway,” he said.

from another board: Learning from Recent History?.......
|'m going to present a little recent history with a lesson learned with a view to predicting the near future. Feel free to critique it if you feel their is a serious flaw in it.
Remember when IB announced that they were sending prototypes of their beralcast castings to Lockheed Martin for analysis in feb 2014? The stock price went to 26.5c. But the next 6 months were painful as the share price did a slow methodical decline to 13c. During this time, the systematic decline in share price naturally made ones wonder if some bad news was pending....like we were not going to get a contract with Lockheed Martin. Each week that went by with no news and share price dropping was adding question marks as to whether Lockheed would be happy with the Beralcast castings of IB. And that maybe one day we will hear the depressing news that Lockheed Martin has analyzed and tested the castings and has decided not to use IB's castings.
But some of the arguements in favor of a contract being successful were the fact that SO MUCH TIME had ALREADY BEEN INVESTED BETWEEN LOCKHEED and IB. And that they were working together...collaberating....teamwork. So it seemed reasonable to me that you don't work with a company for years....2 or 3 years...and then throw all the work down the toilet. To me, this seemed a very powerful point. Also, the extra time that Lockheed took to analyze the prototypes seemed to add strength that they are generally happy with them but just need to work out the details.....refinements....consistency. Only Small stuff. For if their was some serious flaw with the alloys as to why they couldn't work, Lockheed would have figured that out within the first 3 months...
The other arguement in favor of a contract being successful is that Lockheed BENEFITS from a contract with IB. Lockheed has been asked in very strong terms to make their jets more cost efficient. So IB's castings replace very expensive machined parts. And so Lockheed wants IB to succeed...for it benefits them.
So, it seems to me that all these arguements apply equally to the drone components that IB has shipped to the military to be analyzed back in september 15. I quoted that article below. If you read it carefully, you will see that IB has been working with the US's military army research laboratory. And that their relationship goes back to 2011. So, we shouldn't imagine that IB's connection with the military is simply a brief encounter one week, dropping off a few drone parts....never to talk to each other again until they give a yes or no to our castings. But rather, they are in a development agreement since 2011. And what is interesting to me is that it wasn't IB that went knocking on the US military's door asking to speak to managment about their drones. And trying to promote their berelcast castings. No. but if you read the quote below carefully, it was an engineering services provider for the US FEDERAL GOVERNMENT that enlisted IB....to demonstrate the service life and performance enhancment for drone platforms using beralcast materials. You would think that would add a lot of credibility to have an engineering services provider for the US FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to enlist IB
So again, especially after Lockheed being happy with the castings, after working together for years, it is not hard to see that the long history of working together perfecting the casting process, combined with the fact that the military stands to gain economic benefits and performance benefits from IB's alloys, it seems logical that the same outcome with Lockheed is coming with the MILITARY. That is a successful contract to supply parts for the drones.
It is interesting the time lines....it was feb 18 when it was announced prototypes were being sent to lockheed to be analyzed, until sept 8 when contract was official. That is 6 months and 20 days. But the share price started to rise before the announcment....almost 20 days ahead. So, if history was to repeat it self from a timing aspect, it would be roughly 6 months that we wait until a contract is made public.by the military. So 6 months from the announcment of drone parts being sent would take us from sept 15 to march 15. So the military has already had 4 months to analyze these drone parts . It seems reasonable that if their were any deal breakers and huge obstacles that made the castings unacceptable to them, they would know by now. So, it seems the same outcome of this long wait will be realized. A contract with the military to provide drone parts with Beralcast. So then, the question is,,,how big will the contract be? How will the investor community view it? You would think that a contract with both the military and Lockheed should send a very strong message that IB is here for the long run. That their products will ensure a strong future. But it is hard to predict how the investor community will react....time will tell. But either way, it amazes me with so much potential in this company, that the market has us at only 11 or 12 cents. Incredible....I have been averaging down but I honestly thought that if we failed to get a contract with lockheed we would go back to 10c....I never would have believed that we would be here WITH a contract with LOCKHEED. But the VENTURE is worse than it was with the meltdown of 2009....I guess everyone is running to the security of cash, or bonds...or big blue chip companies on the dow. No one wants to accept much risk anymore.......
IBC Advanced Alloys (TSX: V.IB, Stock Forum) once again successfully broadened its business scope when the company announced today that it had shipped several key aerial drone components manufactured using its proprietary Beralcast® technology.
According to the news release, the demonstration articles were sent to the US Department of Defense’s Reliability Information Analysis Center (RIAC) pursuant to a program that grew from a 2011 development and technical services agreement between the company, the US military’s Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and the Naval Air Systems Command (“NAVAIR”), located in Patuxent River, Maryland.
The company was enlisted by Wyle, an engineering services provider for the US Federal Government, to demonstrate the service life and performance enhancement for drone platforms utilizing Beralcast® materials.
An assembly of three critical components for the Navy’s MQ-8B Fire Scout Vertical Takeoff drone were picked for demonstration. The RIAC will carry out additional testing and evaluation that will be available for all current and future in-service aircraft programs.

A tighter physical market will provide some support to prices this year, Philip Klapwijk, managing director of Hong Kong-based Precious Metals Insights Ltd., said at a conference in London on Jan. 21.. . The consulting firm expects global silver supply from mine production and scrapping to fall 2 percent in 2015, and physical demand for uses including industry, photography and jewelry to grow 2 percent. The physical silver-market surplus will shrink by 40 million ounces to 211 million ounces in 2015, according to Precious Metals Insights.. . “Silver is rising along with gold as a hedge against uncertainties,” George Gero, a New York-based precious-metal strategist at RBC Capital Markets LLC, said in a telephone interview. “Also, some funds are betting on future growth with so much money being pumped into the system.”
