Bamps, don't rely on "Admin" to do their job. There is very little moderation on this site - they want clicks and engagement at any price. I've have contacted admin about this and basically the response is "filter". The problem with filtering is you end up with loads of green boxes but I doubt admin will fix that. Anyway, keep up the good work.

Absolutely SeaHawk.

Why don't take you arguments over to X, Reddit, Instagram or some other so-callled "social media". The lack of moderation on this site is shocking.

What are you a Professor of? What university department?

Atkinsons have the KC Brit for £81.02 at the moment.

It is a sobering thought that nobody can stop Trump launching nuclear weapons - others can advise against it but nobody can stop him. The president can order a nuclear strike, and there’s no guaranteed mechanism for others to stop it outright.

"Nuclear War: A Scenario" is worth a read.

Given the amount of mince allowed on this site I can't believe this!!! I don't know how to help. Search for Greatland Gold Townhall on Google and you'll find it easily or go to the GGPChat site

"**********" is the bit that lse have so helpfully removed.

i think this is the link.

Mentalmax it could be partly because gold miners are a leveraged play on the price of gold and also once the herd stampedes it takes everything with it.

I did, sold way, way too early - another one that got away. You might find the CEO.CA site useful - there is a discussion today on the latest results.

This Clive Thompson video talks about a potential silver delivery crisis in March. Worth a watch although a bit slow to get to the point at times.

COMEX Silver: 21 Days Until 429 Million Ounces of Demand Meets 103 Million Supply. (March Crisis) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqJ7T8sQ_pM

Mined gold bypasses COMEX, in the sense that it never touches COMEX at the mine stage, because COMEX is a futures and settlement venue, not a primary physical marketplace for mine output.

The table showing the top 20 mining stocks of 2025 is a bit depressing for me. I bought Discovery Silver in 2023 after watching a Rick Rule video, sold in Feb 2024 at 0.61 $CAD after a smallish loss and now I see I would have been sitting on a huge profit if I had held. I did the same with Quanta and Novo Nordisk. It doesn't pay to look back at your old dealings! At least I got it right with GGP.

Correction. The zero rated coins from Chards are for storage only in Zurich.

If that's the case Speedy then Atkinsons are being very disingenuous because they even have a "VAT Free" filter for silver coins as do Chards. Cheers

Pre-owned silver coins from Atkinsons are VAT free - however there's a big premium for silver coins. For example, a 1oz Austrian Philharmonic from Atkinsons is £81.96 (no vat) - and the silver content at current prices is £59.71.

Who knows but I'm waiting for someone to suggest that the MM's are playing their usual games.

Why are people on share forums obsess about “market makers”:

1) They make an easy villain. When a share doesn’t move how people expect, it’s simpler to blame MM “games” than admit the market just isn’t buying the story.

2) Most don’t understand how market making actually works. It’s mostly automated liquidity provision and hedging not someone deliberately pushing prices around.

3) Low-liquidity shares create weird price action. Wide spreads, small trades moving the price, and thin order books look like manipulation but are usually just normal microstructure.

4) Human psychology loves patterns. Random moves get interpreted as hidden intent: “tree shakes”, “walkdowns”, “loading up”, etc.

5) It protects the ego. Blaming MMs is easier than accepting bad timing or overestimating a stock.

6) Forum culture amplifies myths. One person posts a conspiracy, others repeat it, and it becomes accepted lore.

7) Misunderstanding of price discovery. People assume buys should push price up and sells down, when spreads, limits, off-book trades, and order-book imbalance actually drive movement.

Most “MM manipulation” is just low-liquidity behaviour, automated systems matching orders, and investors projecting meaning onto random price noise.
