1. It’s broken. The system can’t cope (right now).

   Fun to watch, really.

2. We broke 90+ a oz.!

   I have heavily stacked pm’s for years/gold and silver,this after a lot of more necc. preps were in order.

   I really did not want to see a rapid rise in pm’s as I know what that meant,but….,here we are.

   I do not know whether to celebrate or bunker down,guess both a option.

3. Buy prices are a lot less than sell prices, swing by a pawn shop or coin shop to get a realistic sell price.

   1. Local pawn shop in the Florida panhandle offering $10 for 1964 Kennedy half-dollars.

4. If it keeps going like this, I may pay my mortgage with some of my silver. I won’t miss a few.

   Nice looking .44 and nice score on the ammo! I haven’t bought .44 mag or Special ammo in over 20 years. It’s so easy to reload for, and there are recipes out there that will give you some of that power .44 enthusiasts crave without the recoil. Trick to shooting full power loads is to allow your wrist to roll with the recoil. When you hold it stiff, that’s when it gets painful. You’ll eventually find your happy place, or give up like so many people do on the big bore pistols. One of my favorite loadings is a cast 255 gr. powdercoated Keith style bullet over an almost max load of H110 powder. I thought it was going to be brutal, but in both the 4″ S&W and the Rugers, it wasn’t too bad at all on top of being super accurate. First pistol I ever owned was a Ruger Super Blackhawk that I bought when I was 14 yrs old. I worked all summer and saved my money up. Dad went to a pawn shop with me and I picked out what I wanted and he did the paperwork. The shop owner threw in a pistol rug and a box of .44 Specials with a wink and a nod to me. Welcome to the Cult of the .44!

   1. Latigo……,hold!

      As the fiat becomes useless would say excepting a true emergency keeps your pm’s in hand/real finacial hard times a mortgage is last of your worries.

      You do sell do so privately and avoid capitol gain taxes.

      Me dad was a financial whiz thru the decades(big write up in of Forbes in 70’s) ,learned a lot from him.

      I do feel we will have a big dump of silver incoming to save bank ect.,will buy more meself if it happens.

      You need monies for longer term preps ect. then by all means sell some,beyond that hold and even consider getting more(in hand).

      1. A paid off mortgage is worth it’s weight in gold, then all you need is your silver to pay the fk’n property tax they will use to seize your house for non-payment. Not paying the mortgage and then having some emergency pop up, and bingo, there goes the house, when you could have had it paid off 3 yrs ago. Mines been paid for decades, I will never take out another loan or credit card.
         Look how many people lost their property during the great depression, both for unpaid mortgages and delinquent prop taxes.
         It’s a no brainer, only the banks (and sleazy investment counselors) tell you not to pay it off early. They want you broke and owing.

         1. I say hold,fiat for silver will go up easy 150,feel a lot more but use as a starter,wanna sell then fine but we are just beginning,that said,feel one last good dip and will buy!

         2. SemperFi,

            Something to consider: Even though it feels good to have your mortgage paid off, if you fear government attempts to seize private property – as I do whether it be metal, guns, or real estate – there is a compelling argument for extracting the equity from your house beforehand.

6. There is no sales tax on bullion in Florida. Walmart is low and delivers on time. “As of August 1, 2025, Florida no longer requires a $500 minimum for sales-tax exemption on purchases of gold, silver, and platinum bullion. The change broadens access to tax-free investing for collectors, small-scale buyers, and independent dealers across the state.

   Previously, Florida law exempted bullion purchases from sales tax only if the transaction exceeded $500. Smaller purchases — such as a single bullion coin, silver round or fractional gold bar — were still subject to tax. The new law removes that $500 threshold entirely, allowing buyers to make smaller purchases of bullion and qualifying coins without being penalized by sales tax. “

   1. Part of that is that there are a few smart people in state government in Florida. Previously the State of Florida gave the go ahead for Valaurum to produce Florida Goldbacks and allow them, and other state’s Goldbacks to be used as currency. I think Desantis and others realize what is coming and want to encourage awake people to have some sort of hard money in hand so at least Floridas’ economy will be supported in worst case of fedbux collapse.

7. Look at the protein in each can of tuna.
   You’re killing it on the protein. I LOVE that shit.

8. Gold to silver ratio dropping,gold a easier carry if needed.

   Consider if a price dump getting if not in hand some Valcambi bars,pre-broken up into one gram pieces/nice to have if ever needed for trading ect.There is a small premium for this also but worth it to have a few in me opinion.

9. For about 30 years, every Christmas I would buy the nieces & nephews a silver dollar, usually a proof from the US Mint. This year it was too expensive so I got “bullion coins” (basically same as US Mint uncirculated, but no fancy box of little certificate). US Mint price was $90 and I got them for $40 in July. Don’t know if I can continue this tradition at these prices which makes me sad. What irks me is that the US has loads of every kind of mineral and metal, but we don’t mine it. Rare earths? Like the whole state of Wyoming is thick with it. If you drive west on Rt 70 from Denver towards the big ski resorts, you see grey streaks on the rock walls aside of the highway….that’s galena….from which you can get lead, zinc and…silver. Likewise the sulfur colored tailings from old mine sites you can see from the highway…there’s gold in that stuff…maybe not a lot, but at $4,500 an oz, maybe enough to make it worthwhile. Same with copper…$13,000 per ton, freaky how many copper mines in Arizona are closed up? Good intuition on the silver mining stocks….sooner or later it’s going to click in someone’s heads and you may be sitting pretty. Keep being “systematic” about the diet and exercise schedule. Become (temporarily) OCD about that and it will serve you well.

   1. Been wondering this too.
      All the mine tailing piles are full of rare earth elements.
      They weren’t known about or wanted when the mines were operating so they were not extracted.

      The enviros are bitching about runoff from the tailings.
      We could reprocess the tailings, extract the REEs (Thorium too).
      With the profits from their sale, we could pay to have the new tailings reburied in an environmentally sound way.
      Go figure…

      1. That.sounds like to much common sense and we can’t have that in insane clown world…

         1. Indeed.

            Besides, how are the envirogrifters going to extort a living being unwanted, unelected gatekeepers that way?

11. LOVE my .357 Smith wheelguns… Such a blast to shoot. If you’re a plastic-fantastic guy, hook up with someone at the range and try a revolver. Just a hoot to shoot!
    I’ve had luck losing/maintaining my weight w/ the 16/8 diet. Heard about it on a Rogan podcast w/ some nutrition expert. You fast for 16hrs per day, eat your normal diet w/in the remaining 8-hr window. After 2 weeks it kicks your body into Autophagy, and honestly, you don’t really get ‘hungry’ the same anymore.

    The silver-guy Chink is a psy-op buddy, be careful.

    If’n you’re looking for a cheap st0nk with some good potential, check out wrap. Been a shareholder for many years (FINALLY profitable on the position!)… But I truly think their tech will be the next taser, AND they’ve got them fitted into an anti-drone application. One big pentagon contract and I can retire.

12. “i woke up this morning and got myself a beer…”

    *SILVER
    91.265 +4.927 +5.71

    1. *SILVER
       91.85 +5.512 +6.38

       1. $93.80 at close!
          Yippy Ki Yay Motherfucker! 😀

13. I have to wonder at what point owning physical silver will be outlawed, like FDR did with gold?

    Probably when they switch us over to digital currency. Can’t have too many people with generational wealth – it fucks up their plans to have us “own nothing, but be happy”.

    1. i own canidiot maples..

       pretty sure the joo S treasury has no claim on those..

       this is what my besty and accountant has to say:

       “91.50. We our on way. Target 138 by march 27. I suggest a plan to liquidate and exit a cost average out. Remember irs rules you can only dispose about 25 k. Or you our reported to pay taxes. That I will help you around. We three major players to sell to. Also local silver parlors our scalping the ahit out of you on the sell side. I called around heater. 42 to 50. My site is paying 57.50 on 90 percent and about 83 to 84 on rounds. That way if there is a correction you can reload what ya sold. And I do expect a high correction factor when it occurs. But at least there temporary and it helps the process of finding stability. I expect 33.60 to day then a small pull bar above the new 90 milestone.”

       tfA-t is a hoarder. so i think i’ll just hang on to those barbaric relics for the next step in financial fuckery coming our way…

       “the future’s uncertain and the end is always near. let it roll, baby, roll let it roll, baby, roll Let it roll, baby, roll let it roll”

       1. I think if .gov tries to confiscate gold or silver again, no matter the excuse, the response this time will be “Um no, but we’ve got some lead you can have.”

14. Your on the right track. You don’t need to count calories forever. Just until you do it enough you can estimate just by looking at food, an your guts tell you enough. That combined with your body starting to crave exercise, and you’re on the fast track.

    We appear to have a similar problem. I’ll be farting around on my go-to gun sites, see something and go “Ahhhhh…Ineedthatinmylife!” I love my revolvers. For whatever reason, I shoot more accurately with them. If you’re just out for some plinking, it’s nice not to have to load magazines and they encourage a slower pace.

    I almost dropped the hammer on a Derringer after reading a post here about yours. Makes a lot of sense. It’s hot here. Those are easier to carry. You’re filling up the tank and some fool gets spicy?

    It’s a good halitosis range piece, is what I’m trying to say.

    1. The fireball when I fire a full-on .357 will also scorch the eyebrows off anyone within a half-a-meter distance

       1. I’ve noticed that, and since I reload all my loads are “hot”. More spiciness is goooooood

15. Any tips on selecting a good wheel? I’ve always just kind of wiggled things to see if there was much play, and that seems to be doing OK, but the guy at the shop always smiles when I do it. I asked him for tips, and he said I usually end up with the good ones, even if it’s mostly by accident.

    1. I usually hit the gun shows to be able to handle a wheelgun model I’m interested in. For wheelguns how it fits my hand (or can be made to fit better by changing the grip) and balance are the most important. Check the timing also, the cylinder stop should click in place just before the cylinder aligns with the barrel and there should be no play in the cylinder once aligned and locked in. It’s a plus if the sights can be changed for best visibility.

    2. I like my el cheapo .38 Armscor revolvers and I friggin Love my ruger sp101, it just feels like I slammed my hand in the car door if I shoot much .357 through it.

16. I strongly prefer junk silver. Lower premiums, smaller denominations ($1.40 = 1 Troy oz), rarely counterfeited.

    Precious metal price manipulation (trading 100 pieces of paper for 1 oz) is over. JPMorgan has folded and left the table. That game only worked as long as delivery for contracts wasn’t demanded. Now everyone wants delivery, so the game doesn’t work.

    btw, the fractional reserve nature of the banks means the same is happening with your accounts there. When people en mass get squirrely about deposits and a ‘run’ happens, expect the banks to declare a ‘holiday’, close, and your $ gone. The ’08 Frank Dodd Finance Reform Act changed the definition of bank deposits – that is no longer legally ‘your’ money. You have a ‘claim’ to your deposit. You are in line after more important big fish get their pound of flesh 1st. Banks net with other banks, and if there is anything left those left get pennies on the $. Maybe. And the FDIC insurance is as real as Santa Claus.

    Panic early. Beat the rush. Leave only a couple months bills in the bank and convert what you can to junk silver.

17. The 1873 Coinage Act banned silver as a currency, causing a 20+ year Great Depression.
    Silver was the common currency amongst the middle and working class…thus, W. Jennings Bryan’s famous speech of “(farmers and workers” shall not be crucified on cross of gold” in 1896.

18. I’m thinking I’d be more partial to a 454 Casull/45 Colt.
    Something in a Colt/Ruger/S&W. Italian import?
    I’ll have to see what’s out there that looks nice in a Colt SAA style that I can afford.

    1. I’ve had a .45 Colt for 50 yrs, ( 2 Colt SAA and 2 Rugers). I also collect replica Uberti Italian black powder revolvers, the Pietta guns are so-so on quality, would not carry a .44 Mag unless it was all I could afford, the Ruger/S&W is a much better bet. Freedom Arms .454 is the Rolex of handguns.
       I now carry a 1990’s Ruger Bisley .45 Colt +P+ custom 5.5″ bbl. for bear protection in NW WY. I handload 335 gr. LBTGC bullets over 22 gr. of H110. It’s a hand cannon, right below a .454 Casull in power.
       I’m still told by .44 fanbois that they have the most powerful handgun around, several of my friends carry .460 S&W and .500 S&W for woods guns, I really don’t care for that recoil anymore, my old hands have had too many injuries and prefer the milder loads these days. Even the std Keith 255 gr SWC .45 Colt load is plenty potent for almost all woods applications. For big clawed creatures you may want to step up the load a bit.

       1. I “can” still shoot a Super Blackhawk, provided it has rubber grips on it but the recoil recovery time is excessive for me with my reduced abilities these days. I’m well provided for with other revolvers. .22 mag NAA Black Widow, Diamondback SDR 2″ .357 magnum (EDC), Taurus Tracker 7 shot 4″ .357 and got my Cimmaron Wyatt Earp 10″ .45 LC Buntline out of layaway for my Christmas present. Torn about firing the .45. My 93 year old gunsmith looked it over and says it’s unfired. Also 100%, not a blemish on it. About a 1100 Joobux piece, stole it from my local gun store/pawn shop for $500. Was featured in the movie Wyatt Earp.

          And I don’t do stocks, did in the past but unless you really research crap, you don’t make much. On the other hand, my gold, silver and junk silver is appreciating nicely these days. Gives me warm fuzzies.

          Toodles, off to deal with USPS because me doing my address change in person where I used to live wasn’t enough and the useless assholes want me to do it again with two forms of ID. Stupid asshat .gov shitheads.

19. Single action is the truest expression of the revolver. I’m jonesing for a SA in .44 magnum.
    I have a couple of DA .44s and they make me happy.
    Yeah – the Magtech is generally $50 a box. Don’t care it’s well worth the recoil.
    I got some Sierra 240gr JHP – just in case. Or if I ever want to take a hog 😀

    1. Try the 325 gr. LBT load for hogs, that should anchor them. You want a hard cast solid for heavy penetration, not JHP.
       I used to load that for my friends with .44’s. It’s a great bear load too.

       1. Excellent advice thanks for link.

20. > If it ain’t in your hand, then it ain’t yours.

    The only silver ETF I trust is Sprott’s PSLV, held by the Royal Canadian Mint, not the Bank of Lodon.

    https://sprott.com/investment-strategies/exchange-listed-products/physical-bullion-funds/silver/

    In theory you can request delivery of the actual silver, but only if you hold 10K ounces or more.

21. Glad to hear you are working to improve your health BC. Especially after the “late unpleasantness” you went through. Nice deal on the .44, I’d like to add a few more old school pieces to my collection.

22. Physical premiums have always been a thing, but until somewhat recently they weren’t in excess of 10 percent.

    Spot pricing is a useful fiction for pricing of silver commodity and futures contracts with a base volume of 5000 Troy ounces.

    That’s also virtual silver and until recently traders unloaded the futures contracts before maturity so they wouldn’t have to take delivery (which is not a free service).

    Anything below 5000 Troy ounces is essentially HomePlayer™ levels and comes with physical and delivery premiums in addition to the buy/sell spreads.

    Commodities aren’t sold at fixed prices and “spot” is also not a fixed price if there are no buyers or sellers at that price.

    What do you think produces price fluctuations in times of low volatility?

    But if you want to see real physical markets with spreads and premiums priced in, look at what BCE showed as well as big bullion coin sellers like SD Bullion and APMEX.

    “Spot” is interesting for what the bigger commodity markets are doing, but it won’t tell you what your 1968 Kennedy 40% Ag US Half Dollar bag is worth to a bulk coin buyer.

    If you want “the price is the price”, stick to Publix and used car buying from Boomers who “know what they got” … 🙂

23. don’t know if this is true or not…
