Good start...

Silver up over 4.5% ‐‐ $76.05.

Can't beat a bit of geopolitical tensions.

Whatever the the whys and wherefores; it's got to be good, from a selfish point of view, for Fresnillo?

I wonder if this might possibly have a bearing on things? 🤔

As of 2026, Venezuela continues to hold the highest proven oil reserves in the world, with approximately 303 billion barrels.

The majority of these reserves are located in the Orinoco Belt. While Venezuela leads in volume, much of its oil consists of "extra-heavy crude," which is more difficult and expensive to extract and refine compared to the lighter crude found in other top-ranking countries.

Good old Donald - nothing like this kind of kidnapping action, to increase P.M.s.

P.P.

He's already booked & paid for it.

The condition being -- when arriving "up jungle", the S.P. has to be £35 for a full refund.

This was agreed at the £28 mark.

Still got 6 weeks to go. 🤣🤑

Crappy CRIMEX ending to the day!

If things haven't changed since last time; it's a straightforward 10% goverment withholding tax.

Near impossible to get around it.

Whatever the stated dividend is, just knock off 10% & make a US dollar conversion, for an estimate.

That £35 mark has just cost me a free flight to Thailand, for my friend.😎

You're right...

But 90% of a magnificent dividend is still better than 100% of a meagre dividend.

I'll be more than happy if it stays at 10%.

Unfortunately, some governments start to get greedy when excellence is at work.

Not as bad as it feared today.

Up £1.40 for the 3 days.

Amazing year & long may it continue.

P.P.

A bit more information on the subject.

Aye --- Silver getting smashed again!

Down almost $4/Oz -- over 5%.

Looks like yesterday's best ever day (personally), could have one of it's worst, today?

Not to worry - the fundamentals still remain.

Probably a good thing that it's a short trading day.

P.P.

You might be right there.

Once the reality sets in - it's more far-reaching than many people suspect.

P.s.

Only £2.84 ish of yesterday's closing prediction.

Today's action is making up for it a bit.

These constant broker upgrades certainly help.

Reminds me of RR.

Raising the margins again was always going to force some sales.

Let's hope they immediately get mopped up.

Silver still up circa $6 dollars from London close...

For now.

Got a 6.5 hour drive today; so might have to plan a stop around market opening --- 3.0pm our time.

Don't forget to set your alarm clock! 😎

P.P.

You're up early - too excited to see what's happening with Santa Silver? 😁

It'd be interesting to have a bit of fun, to see what people's guesstimate is for the CLOSING price on Monday, for Fresnillo.

I'm going for plus £2.78 --- more or less the same hammering we received in late October, only in reverse.

Chunkie 1...

Sorry...

Another informative video from Khun A.I.

Dont panic if they attempt to beat silver back another 10% - laugh it off.

B.T.B.

The silver price is up almost 18% for the last week.

Fresnillo over the same period, up approximately 8.5%.

I don't think, or hope, they can keep the coiled spring S.P., going for much longer.
