The damage via GME has been done and the target is destroyed.
They are already caught in the short squeeze that will happen on Thursday and there's not really a whole lot that can be done at this point. If you want to spend all of your money to cost the printing press a few extra milliseconds of printing time - have at it.
Silver is the killshot on the banking interests. The entire bullion market has already pretty much evaporated within 72 hours of the small players nibbling at it. The bigger players are buying up contracts and holding them for delivery.
That will trigger a market meltup that can easily send Silver to $500 per ounce or even higher to well over $1K.
This will spill over into gold and trigger its own meltup, albeit somewhat slower as the Silver market is only $70B in market capitalization while Gold is something like $9T and there is much more bullion in financial and state interests compared to silver - which is in the hands of the public.
To put it into perspective for you - for every 1 share of stock available in GME, the hedge funds shorted 1.4.
For every 1 ounce of silver deliverable on the comex, there are between 100 and 250 contracts for delivery of that silver being traded on the comex.
For every 1 ounce of gold deliverable in the comex, there are around 150 contracts for it being traded.
JP morgan et al will be selling their futures and derivatives to try and hammer the price back down - but doing so also puts them in the hands of the public (who will demand delivery) and further jack price up.
Then they will not be able to re-enter the market, particularly if the silver bugs hold (and most of them have been classic DOOMSDAY preppers who intend to be trading in silver when "money" is worthless… So what do you think their odds of settling in cash is?)
I won't datefag, but it would not be surprising to see $100 silver out of the current market push. Unlike the GME thing, which most people don't care for - any idiot can look at the history of inflation and the "you are here" of doubling the currency supply inside of a year … And come to the conclusion that their dollars will soon be worthless and owning any amount of silver is infinitely more practical than the bank account being stolen from by the printing press.
The big financial markets haven't even woken up, yet. Auto trades catching up and the asian and european market are what are reflecting silver spot at the moment. It is at over $30 at the moment and if you think it is going to lose steam at $40 or even $60….
I should point out - the exchanges are OUT of silver. All of them. You might find some pawn shops crazy enough to sell it but that won't last long.
Pretty much the only sources of new silver on the market are mining output and people selling off jewelry. Real silver cuttlery hasn't been a thing for decades to centuries and most of that worked its way out of the woodwork back when the hunt brothers tried to corner the market 50 years ago.
Or if you think the stacking doomsday preppers are going to turn out to cash in their personal little vaults for dollars.
There are still ways the machine can fight this - but it can't change material reality. Metal is less flexible than the mathematics of finance and accounting.
