Jane Goodall’s Chimp

@MBAeconomics1 When it comes to silver I’ll believe it when I see it. The only figures I care about now are physical vault holdings. Fractional reserve silver will continue until global free float is 0. That is possible in the next 6 months but would require no major inflow to the exchanges.

Here are the sequence of events. #Comex sells infinite paper #silver into early april to get the price as low as possible. $50 lets say. The US govt announce silver price floor of $100. Comex force majures and cash settles all the naked shorts for as cheap as possible.

@DonaldW60852684 SGE & SHFE vaults have ~20m oz between them. Realistically, will that number hit 0? Genuine questions: 1. Will China’s refineries be able to restock the exchanges in time? 2. Does China have strategic silver reserve? 3. Would they pull from a reserve to avoid vaults hitting 0?

They can only manipulate the silver price $12-14 below Shanghai price and then buyers step in to drain the COMEX. COMEX is not being refilled. As long as the China price stays up, we are fine. Who will sell their physical silver to COMEX to refill it at the COMEX price. The answer is no one.

@InProved_Metals @jameshenryand SHFE has restocked 100 tons in the past couple days lol

🚨 SHANGHAI SILVER ALERT #SGE: THE DRAIN ACCELERATES 🚨 ⚠️SGE #silver vault stocks in free fall, down 96 tons WoW to 276 tons 🏛️Combined Shanghai inventories SGE+#SHFE are now at decade lows, estimated at just 630 tons or 20.2Moz @jameshenryand #preciousmetals #commodities #bullion #china #silversqueeze

@profitsplusid Feels like silver is going to be kept down until vaults are literally zero. SHFE has restocked 70 tons in the past 2 days. Who knows if comex will get relief in the next quarter. Silver has also been trading opposite of sentiment for the past couple weeks so who knows.

Silver Alert Seeing a signal in the options market that has only happened about 4 times in the last year. See chart below with purple boxes that have seen the same previous signal and reaction in the silver price. This signal involves Volatility skew.

@pirateblakbird @mothersilverape Just hasn’t been enough momentum behind the positive moves, but good to see support at these levels. At this point I just watch daily vault outflows. We will win in the end.

My account is super throttled with limited reach- it’s too bad since silver is about to explode this week. The physical demand is far greater than the price expectations of most people who are trying to guess what comes next and dreaming of profitable low entries. Maybe my restriction will lift by tomorrow - something something about adding a phone number. Anyway if you can see this- say Hi.👋

@LoreRecaps @ArcainiLuke No it goes off of runs allowed per out played so it’s kind of confusing, but if Mexico wins while scoring 4 or less then they’re in.

@ArcainiLuke If Mexico outscores Italy by 5+ runs USA makes it, if Italy wins at all USA make it. any other result favoring Mexico they are in

Team USA loses to Italy. It all comes down to…checks notes, Team Italy tomorrow vs Mexico. If Italy wins, Team USA advances. If Mexico wins, there is a good chance that Team USA is eliminated without making it out of their pool. Team Italy’s starter tomorrow? Aaron Nola.

@JeffPassan For anyone wondering, if Mexico wins while scoring 4 or less runs the USA is out

FINAL: Italy 8, USA 6 One of the biggest upsets in WBC history as the Americans go down. Aaron Judge was up as the tying run with two outs in the ninth. Greg Weissert struck him out, and the Americans’ ability to advance now depends on the Italy-Mexico game Wednesday night.

@NarniaNitro @Buccigross When you’re playing in wind it helps a ton to know how much it’s affecting the ball

@Buccigross I can see how that might help regular joes playing a round, but how much is that actually going to help pros? I imagine that they know their exact distances based on specific ball, club brand, etc. However, One pro might be solidly 155 yds with a club that another is 147 with.

I knew they peaked, but I didn't realize Tour caddies walked over and brazenly looked at what club their playing parter hit. They've both done it.

@KarelMercx I agree with you 100%. People always quote the spread using only the day hours close, not knowing that China has night hours that run 6am-12:30pm CST. I check this site, dividing the Ag(T+D) “latest” number by 221 (this divisor fluctuates): en.sge.com.cn/h5_data_Delaye…

I want to start tracking in the table the daily gap between the silver price in the East and the silver price in the West. This may be one of the most misleading indicators out there. A lot of people compare the US close with the China close, even though there are hours between them. Silver is volatile, so that creates big distortions. During the silver crash, people on X were shouting that paper silver was being dumped in the West because the gap had suddenly blown out to $40, while China simply caught up on Monday. I also find it irritating when people compare prices in dollars instead of percentages. A 10% premium at 50 is 5, and a 10% premium at 100 is 10. The percentage premium is identical, but the dollar gap is twice as big. That can easily give the wrong impression. Then there is the question of what to compare. The active futures month in the West is May, while the active futures month in the East is June. That is a one-month difference. I do not want to use spot, because I do not find the spot market transparent in the West, and the same applies in the East. So I want to use a moment when both markets are open. For COMEX I use settlement, which is between 12:24:00 and 12:25:00 Central Time. For the Chinese futures price, I take the average price during that same minute and divide it by the average USD/CNY exchange rate during that minute. After that, I divide everything by 32.1507, because the West uses troy ounces and China uses kilos. For May COMEX I get $84.92, and for China I get $97.63. That gives a premium of 14.96%. What I find even more interesting is the trend over the past few days, because it is moving higher: 13.57% 13.83% 13.69% 14.50% 14.03% 14.96% I am very curious what you think.

@J_native44 @jeremykkk123 @HawkeyeSource Your comment was retarded. “He’s already in the UFC” 🤓

@ChimpJane @jeremykkk123 @HawkeyeSource Never said it was

Heres a longer clip of the fight, fucking insane 😭

@J_native44 @jeremykkk123 @HawkeyeSource Does this look like a ufc match to you

@ChimpJane @jeremykkk123 @HawkeyeSource He's already in the UFC

@jeremykkk123 @HawkeyeSource Does not matter, this shit has no place in our sport. If you want to throw punches and knees go to the UFC. After the fucking whistle no less.

@HawkeyeSource bit a longer clip too

@AlexMasonCrypto People there is so much misinformation in this post. Do not listen to this account that can’t be bothered to double check AI slop.

🚨 THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE In 24 hours, silver reaches a point where the math no longer works: COMEX options expire with $2.3B+ in open interest. At the same time, Shanghai delivery requests are at ATH. 340 metric tons standing for delivery into a market that doesn’t have the metal. NOW CONNECT THE DOTS: - COMEX inventory ~27.4M ounces. 25 paper claims per physical ounce. - Physical silver in Shanghai is $124. COMEX paper is $78. THAT SPREAD SHOULD NOT EXIST. Arbitrage would erase it instantly in a healthy system. It hasn’t. Because metal isn’t available at size. Only paper is. Insiders already know this. They’re reducing risks. Retail is doing the opposite. Margins + Liquidity − Weak hands are being forced out of the market. I’ve been in finance for more than 15 years. When I EXIT the markets completely, I’ll say it here publicly, like I always do. Many people will wish they followed me sooner.

@Transittometals Global vaults are hemorrhaging which should make every stacker very happy. We are 100% correct. Paper is completely detached from reality at this point. Unless they close their shorts, the banks will control the paper price all the way to empty vaults.

FROM A SILVER STACKER TO A SILVER STACKER It is possible to see the price of silver slowly grind up here breaking through $85 and causing a flip to bull market again If silver doesn’t continue to climb and breakout from this point then $69 is certain If silver doesn’t stabilize around 70 I fully expect to see price in the 50’s again

@spikethedrumer @BreeSolstad Incorrect. Look into dulia. Mary is venerated (hyperdulia), not worshipped. The same could be said of other saints (dulia). Worship is reserved for God alone. Prayer to the Lord through (or, with, if you prefer that framing) Mary or other holy figures is not the same as worship.

@BreeSolstad Funny thing is, the Roman Catholic Church does not advocate for praying to Christ. It talks and Catholics continually talk about “praying to Mary”

“It was a demon because I have no other explanation & I want it to be true so I don’t have to face the reality of the true Christian faith I have erroneously rejected.” Demons totally heal fatal diseases, bring peace, call people to repentance & beg people to pray to Christ. 🤦‍♀️

@mike_oil_invest @Macrobysunil Exactly. If they can’t even audit Ft Knox then what’s the point? Add in the geopolitical tensions (in the middle of a pm bull run) then it doesn’t seem like anything more than a way to delay the inevitable. I think the horse has already left the barn.

@Macrobysunil Ok, I'll ask it here: W/the recent behavior of the USA w/Other People's Money, would you trust them for actual payment in 50 years? Seems more of a "Confidence Game". Judy Shelton doesn't guarantee payment of this vehicle (not trying to bad mouth her). No substitute for physical.

A 50-year gold-linked U.S. Treasury isn’t deferred gold redemption, it’s a stability valve for a system where trust in paper-only collateral is eroding. If BRICS successfully introduces a physically collateralized gold repo layer, the global system won’t flip overnight. It will reprice collateral hierarchies. In that world, U.S. Treasuries must retain a gold reference to remain repo-eligible and systemically central. Shelton’s proposal acts as a bridge between fiat credibility and hard-asset settlement, minimizing disruption while the plumbing adapts. This transition isn’t about abandoning the dollar, it’s about anchoring the collateral stack as gold quietly reasserts itself as the ultimate HQLA.

@3cs3hs24133 @ThHappyHawaiian Cheers from one silver bull to (I assume) another

@ChimpJane @ThHappyHawaiian You wouldn't be posting this comment to the internet without the silver that is currently in your phone or computer.

They’re out of silver but also the price should be lower? 🤔

@Macrobysunil Step one for this would be a full audit of gold reserves.

@pmbug This is great, much appreciated

Here's the helicopter view big picture (using my LBMA numbers for Dec25 and Jan26):
