@ClayTravis I remember becoming a fan watching the Braves on TBS as a kid.

There are a bunch of competing religions in the USA
- real traditional ones (Islam, Christianity)
- patriotism (in strong decline since about 2005)
- DEI (don’t know what else to call it, also in decline)
- finance, stocks, asset prices, Buffett, the Fed

@Molson_Hart Money is the true religion in this country.

@ErikKaiser @davidbateman @rossiadam Been in on this for a while. If nothing else silver is in a huge unrecoverable deficit
English

Here are the reasons I invested close to a billion dollars in precious metals over the past six months—including the purchase of 1.5% of the annual global silver supply (12.69 million ounces) :
The global monetary system is about to collapse (The Great Reset, or Basel Endgame).
The biggest credit bubble in history will soon pop ($300T).
There is no way the US can refinance its $28T in maturing treasuries in the next 4 years without an obscene amount of printing.
Trump tariffs are hastening the collapse, and it’s by design.
Gold and silver are the only meaningful life raft. Physical possession is everything.
The whole world right now is a sophisticated game of musical chairs; the chairs are precious metals.
Crypto is a psyop. Those who purchase will have no chair when the music stops.
Real estate, crypto, stocks and bonds will all lose significantly compared to precious metals.
The banking system has been meticulously designed to seize your assets to buoy up a collapsing banking sector (see The Great Taking). You have ZERO counter party risk with precious metals.
I’m up 20% already, on most of my purchases.
This is not a drill. Your grandkids someday will either muse or lament this financial decision you’re now faced with. Don’t fail them.

For my seasoned business owners:
You need 2.
Not 1. Not 3.
You need 2 businesses.
1 is your core. It pays your bills. It keeps you grounded.
And it makes 2 easier.
Business #2 is your dream. It’s a moonshot.
It lives under business 1 until it rises up or dies and is replaced by a new “this one is going to make me a billionaire, babe” business.
Why does this work?
If you only have the core business, you get depressed. It’s borrrrring.
And if you only have the moonshot, you’re a wreck. “What if it doesn’t work?” You’re alone. You have nothing to fall back on.
But both, at the same time, it’s the perfect hedge.
And it’s doable.
3, not so much. You have a family, you can break your leg, other bullshit comes up.
You don’t need 2 moonshots to go to the moon. You just need one to work. And you know in your heart which one is the one.
2 is doable, the same upside with less downside.
And the second doesn’t need to be a whole new business. It could be the iPhone to your Apple computer company.
It could be your first entrepreneurial venture while you work a steady job.
But, whatever it is, the key is to have 2, not more, not fewer.
A steady core source of income and something that has you excited to conquer the world every morning.
2.

@CameronWalkerSZ i'd also love a feature on every SC page at the bottom, where it says "need to give someone access to this page? find it here!"

@Molson_Hart @Barchart Believe me I know - Silver actually has even better returns and going crazy lately. Feels like something is brewing.

@CameronWalkerSZ Heard temu and Shein are eating their lunch over there a few weeks ago. Wonder if it's also tied with that?

@amznsellerhelp It's now black Friday and still no resolution. The case has been open since Monday.
English

@amznsellerhelp We've had a case pending for 2 days - still no resolution. Running out of time to get this resolved before Black Friday. Any extra help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

We’re dealing with a tough situation on Amazon right now, and I’m sharing it because other brands heading into Q4 may face the same thing.
One of our flagship products was approved for a 12-day Best Deal (11/20–12/1). We built inventory, planned our strategy, and launched exactly at the price Amazon approved - the lowest Q4 price we've ever offered.
A few days into the deal, the system suddenly changed the discount requirements with no notice. Our deal badge disappeared, and Amazon started requiring an additional ~30% off beyond the approved deal price - a price point where we’d lose money on every unit.
We’ve never sold anywhere near that price. The choice became: run the deal at a loss or lose the deal entirely.
Sales dropped immediately. And because the change happened after inventory was already shipped in, we now have a large amount of stock stuck in FBA during the most expensive storage period of the year.
While we wait in appeal limbo, every day adds:
• High Q4 storage fees
• Risk of long-term storage fees
• Capital tied up
• Lost ranking and deal momentum
The bigger concern: if the system locks in this ultra-low price as the “correct” discount baseline, it may become impossible to run profitable deals this season.
Small brands can’t absorb sudden algorithmic price shifts like this. We followed the process, agreed to the terms, shipped the inventory and the requirements changed mid-deal.
At this point I don't know what to do - been panicking all day and feeling kind of stuck.

@amznsellerhelp @michaelpatron0 I didn't get a phone call and follow up email said they were still looking into it - So no real updates so far
English

@Brandon_NJ @michaelpatron0 I see the team tried to connect last night over phone, and sent a follow-up email. Still watching from my end as well, but it's with the proper folks. - Ron

If you ignored the price request - I guess it's fixed. if you changed your price to keep your deal running - the system won't let you change it back. Amazon's error, but we lose that margin. I can't claw back that extra percent. Nor did Amazon alert us this was officially a bug until now.
Meanwhile My best deal problem is still unresolved or even replied to via support. Given the season, surely more resources could be dedicated to these urgent problems.
English

@michaelpatron0 We fixed an issue where our pricing validations were incorrectly requiring an additional 1% discount for some 'Percent off' Prime-exclusive Price Discounts submitted for Black Friday/Cyber Monday. Pricing suppressions for affected promotions will be resolved automatically. - Ron
English

@Brandon_NJ I honestly think that they have a glitch in the system they are trying to address. I don't believe it was intended to be that way. I could be wrong, but from the cryptic messages I've been getting it seems like a systemic error.

Hey Michael, we understand the frustration with PED requirements changing post-approval - that's not the experience we want during critical selling periods. We'll be sharing your feedback, along with Brandon's similar experience, with our Prime Day Deals team for their review and potential process improvements. Could you share the specific ASINs that were impacted? Also, we're curious if you've had a chance to connect with our support team about this situation yet? - Hope

So sorry to read about this. No chance of stalking Sam and trying to talk directly?
When my dad was a lawyer part of his strategy was to act similar to Sol - aloof, not so sharp, missing key details, so the opposing council would underestimate him. It worked as well for him as it did for Sol.
