Make it make sense. We are at $ 84.68.

We have moved past $85. Currently at $ 85.27 / oz

Silver is the most unique element on the periodic table.

Does any other element come in at #1 for three different categories? Maybe only carbon

Market was front running the end of Chinese New Year knowing they needed to be ahead before China bought it up. Market is projecting a larger move up, $140+

Already up ~$2.43 in 52 minutes since open and Shanghai it's not even 8am in Shanghai.

Hopefully this is a fun nighttime trading session.

Well it raged up to 87 almost immediately and then moved laterally till a pullback 3 hours ago but has since recovered.

We closed January at 84.704 after the dumpster smash debacle on the 30th to close out. If we can close Feb out above that mark I think it will be the 10th consecutive month that silver has had a monthly green candle which would be the first time ever I believe.

it was range bound between $71 and $82 …. so it’s good to see it closing above the upper limit of the range

We closed at $88.07 on Tue, Feb 3rd after Black Friday.

Would be nice to close above that for a while.

58.74 GSR. Moving in the right direction.

I am ready for the day Comex is out of silver and has sold a few hundred million more than exists. Prison time?

If they do it will just be low level lackeys like happened with the rigging thing. One of my coworkers went to high school in NY with one of the dudes who took the fall during the nearly billion dollar JPMC settlement.

Yeah $92.2311 was the highest we've gotten since Black Friday.

Looking forward to when we close above that for a day. We went above it on 1/14 briefly then from 1/19-1/29 stayed above till the 1/30 hulk smash.

No matter what glad to see the resilience

Why did Jane Street need to buy enough SLV shares to become the largest holder of the iShares Silver Trust (20.67 million shares added in Q4 2025)?

Here is a clear, professional explanation of the typical high-level strategy these sophisticated quantitative firms use:

They first accumulate a sufficiently large position in SLV shares, large enough to influence market price action when required.

When the majority of traders and retail investors turn strongly bullish, put options (which profit from a price decline) become very cheap.

They then buy these put options in huge quantities.

At the right moment, they dump their entire accumulated share position all at once.

This sudden heavy selling creates a sharp, unexpected crash, a large red candle that causes retailers to panic-sell. Stop-loss orders are triggered en masse, accelerating the decline.

Their put options then gain hundreds of percent in value in a short time.

The process is then repeated again.

This kind of manipulation is unhealthy for any market.

It is concerning how regulatory authorities appear to turn a blind eye to such practices.

Y'all may not be proud of me, but here goes. We had accumulated 2300 shares of PSLV. My wife, the Canadian, had extra cash so she bought it in her Robinhood acct. I noticed a recurring pattern and asked her to sell at $29.50. My goal was to buy back at $29, using the $1150 profit to up our share amount. She misunderstood and bought back 2300 @ 29.00. She would like to keep the profit in her acct., earning 3.5% until something else presents as a buy.

I was prepared for a series of turnarounds, increasing our holdings, substantially. I feel so used and dirty.

Last trading session of Feb engaged. Would be nice to close above $90 but as long as we close above $85 and keep the monthly green candle train rolling I will be happy.
