Yup...

The Ai avatar commenting on Greenland, silver squeeze and US and UK on physical delivery just got more expensive from the 10% (in 2 weeks) and 25% (6 mths) tariffs makes some sense. So Hold and Buy on dips on FRES.

Remember that day in 2025 when FRES was at £26 top without any rest bite an then big pull back of 25% to near £20? Well this might happen again...

That £30 rise before Christmas in FRES to £39.28 high was rather fast, so I can only suspect a extreme case that a 25% dip might happen again to flush out the weak holds. So be mindful on your FRES support levels and buy into the SP dips at these levels where possible because the underlying issues or realities have not changed.

Might see some Trump action this weekend (again) which can stir up some havoc around the world and thus push up Gold. Silver and Oil prices.

Paper COMEX is a joke and has already lengthen the physical gold / silver delivery times.

Will there be a future for the COMEX metals exchange?

In the bubble of everything its just too hard go all in with conviction especially when the whole Western economy is sellotaped together on the premise that the AI boom and Mag 7 will carry on pushing the markets higher.

Despite maintaining my stance on hold and buy on dips in FRES. I just couldn't help myself today and brought in FRES at £36.56 and then sold at £37.60 on intra-day trades to pocket a couple of days of beer and steak money.

Looks like all the turmoil (Venezuela, Iran, New Sanctions, Greenland, failed starlink in Iran, more peace talks with Russia) in the recent days created by Trump is just not negative and impotent to bring more havoc into pushing gold and silver to new highs.

'Charts lag news - fact'

Also yahoo finance is:

- misreporting the FRES SP 52 week high.

- excludes default precious metals highlights on their app (have to search and discover.

I get the feeling that the mainstream western financial data sources either useless or doing it on purpose to ossification and hiding precious metal prices from the retail investors \ traders.

Dystopian for UK, US or Europe to introduce sovereign digital currency (CBDC).

Imagine trading in your old currency £1 worth for the new CBDC at £0.85 worth which is backed by gold \silver.

Imagine going to the cashpoint and seeing a zero balance bank account after 20yrs just because you're label enemy of the state.

Imagine finding out in 5 years time the link between CBDC and backed by Gold \Silver is broken again.

Imagine your account frozen and you can't buy a second pint at the pub or a 2nd holiday abroad.

A CBDC without resolving the national debt of a country or the issues above only pushes people to revert to hold gold and silver or any physical assets to to avoid holding a sham currency.

Hand sitting is a requirement with FRES. nice to see it reach all time highs again.

As usual, the big buys at after market close are usual always pushed away on LSE by these numerous zero or single digit Unknown* trades.

Make sense for China to banned critical minerals and rare earths to war mongering countries military arms as the last thing we want is World War 3.

The last thing retirees like Boomer and Gen X want is an unstable world to spend our golden years in.

As for Japan they should break free from USA control as the plaza accords since1985 showed zero growth and stagnation in Japan.

Western war mongering only going increase the demise of the US dollar influence in the world and strengthen Gold and Silver demand which pushes higher prices on precious metals.

I doubt critical minerals and rare earths can be produced by the West unless they bring back slavery or introduce robots to mine and refine these elements at cost identical to China. Still talking of at least 15yrs+ to make the changes in the west on self reliance.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Doesn't hurt looking or waiting for the next big thing to invest in which is getting harder day by day in the bubble of everything.

For example, I brought into Novo Nordisk because once the recession hits every average family will be poor, be depress, binge eat on crap food, get obese and then ask doctor for weight-loss jab which also helps ease NHS waiting list/ queues. Also recessions fuels binge drinking so buying to drinks companies.

They're still buying into strength in FRES at market close and that's all that matters.

Correction: silver delivery in Mar 2026

YouTuber 'Clive Thompson' said Comex are unble to meet physical gold delivery in Mar 2026 should all contracts exercise the right on silver delivery.

FRES: Hold and buy on dips.

US fines for rigging the PM metals markets means nothing (the banks SP keep going up) given it's a handshake between parties to keep the US dollar on top.

Whatever project it is it's just skimming UK taxpayers monies for big businesses and an implict golden reward in the future.

It's really is a shake tree starter in 2026 for the FRES SP.

Hold and Buy on the dips.

I don't advocate the UK armed forces to be involve in this PROXY war between Ukraine and Russia.

There's a reason it's called a PROXY war and than means to stay out of it. Remember WW2, that bankrupted the UK and Europe and shifted power and wealth to USA.

It's a shameful history that in 1976 we (UK) went begging to the IMF for a bail-out loan and in 2006, the UK finally managed to pay-off it's WW2 debt to USA. Not going to be good if the UK get involved in another war as our debt levels will balloon again and UK will fall down the ranks of a prosperous country in the world rankings. Remember the 2003 IRAQ war, nothing really gained apart from more pain under Sir Toady B-liar.

Maroonbells,

Don't forget to take profits as nothing is ever gauranteed and time is limited.

A retiree can't wait another 10-20yrs frm a global financial crisis recovery so be smart when the noise or smart money start exiting. Capital preservation is key and do enjoy your retirement now than later.

That Venezuela escapade help lift (Gold and Silver) FRES upwards.

I'm sure countries are de-leveraging their risk with holding US dollars as the US national debt creeps up to £38.5 Trillion with daily interest at $6bn a day.

Big embrassment for the large Chinese contingent in Venezuela at the time.

I can only assume Venezuela did too little and too late to beef up its national security be it in the digital space or the physical space.

A few Russian equivalent of the shoulder-launched Stinger missile would of done the trick. Yet Venezuela said no to Russian or Chinese military help.
