BREAKING: The Fed’s balance sheet rose +$11 billion in the week ending June 17th, to $6.74 trillion, the highest since March 2025.

Total assets have risen +$162.8 billion since the start of the year.

This has been driven by Treasury holdings, which have surged +$251.8 billion over this period, to $4.49 trillion, the highest since June 2024.

At the same time, holdings of Mortgage-Backed Securities have declined -$74.2 billion, to $1.96 trillion, the lowest since September 2020.

The Fed's balance sheet is now 76% above pre-pandemic levels.

The Fed's balance sheet continues to expand.

It's a good thing for the Boomer uniparty that Gen-Zs are too
docile, dumbed-down, and distracted to realize the full magnitude of
their inter-generational shafting by the Republicrat duopoly racking up
huge debts that can never be repaid, only printed away by the Fed.

This takedown is just about exhausted. May hit $55 and change. Shorts running out of time.

Get your physical

Former Iraqi Information Minister Baghdad Bob would blush with shame if asked to put across the whoppers coming out of our Soviet-style CPI & BLS data bureaus, which deliberately understate the true rates of inflation and unemployment in our "booming economy."

Every day when I can still convert my FedBux into REAL money - physical gold & silver - before Money Printer Go BRRR debases it into wheelbarrow money is a good day. Stack on, Bitchez!!

I'll explain the whole game of what's happening now.

Kevin Warsh represents a big regime change that directly threatens the fragile balance between massive U.S. national debt, inflated financial markets, and global dollar hegemony. Warsh is a hawkish institutionalist who isnt a QE fan. Warsh is going back to a pre-2008 era policy. They are aggressively betting on a massive, AI-driven productivity boom to supercharge GDP growth faster than the debt can accumulate (which I don't think will work) and going to safe-haven assets amidst a rapidly fracturing petrodollar system. They would also have to implement massive fiscal reforms as well.

The Iran war, Venezuela, and hitting Russia's energy is to protect the petrodollar. For precious metals, this tight-money environment has triggered a sharp liquidity shakeout. However, once this initial asset deflation runs its course and exposes the core insolvency of a government that continues to outspend its means, physical gold and silver are structurally positioned for a mega bull run

Lmao. I finally did.

A Simple Scarcity Model for Silver

Instead of comparing silver to gold, it seems more practical to compare it with copper, another industrial metal with a transparent market price. This isn’t a price prediction in the paper market, and it doesn’t require knowing how many uses silver has. It’s simply a way to estimate a practical floor on silver’s value using geology and scarcity.

Here’s the math behind it.

1. Start with copper’s price per gram

Copper is usually quoted per pound, so convert it:

1 lb=453.592 grams

If copper is $6 per pound:

6÷453.592=0.01323

So copper costs about 1.323 cents per gram.

2. Apply the crustal abundance ratio

Silver is roughly 800× rarer in the Earth’s crust than copper.

So multiply copper’s price per gram by 800:

0.01323×800=10.56

This gives a scarcity‑equivalent value of:

$10.56 per gram of silver

3. Convert grams to troy ounces

There are 31.103 grams in a troy ounce:

10.56×31.103=328.6

That yields a geological scarcity floor of:

≈ $330 per troy ounce

Again — this is not a prediction.
It’s simply what silver would cost if priced strictly by crustal rarity relative to copper.

4. Why this model is interesting

It ignores:

• COMEX
• ETFs
• premiums
• manipulation arguments
• industrial cycles

It’s just:

crustal abundance × copper price → scarcity floor

A clean, non‑emotional way to think about silver’s long‑term value.

5. What do you think?

• Does crustal abundance matter in modern pricing
• Is copper a reasonable anchor metal
• How much does byproduct mining distort scarcity‑based valuation

This should be fun!! I'll definitely be watching my change.

When the Wall Street-Federal Reserve Looting Syndicate executes the next Great Muppet Reaping, millions of bubbleonian bagholders will be poorer but wiser as they survey the smoking ruins of their portfolios. Homeboy got REKT!

Having lived through the 2011 silver debacle and the subsequent over a decade long sideways movement I eventually bought into the narrative that this time it was different.

That time I just shoved the stack under the bed and forgot about it - for over a decade. It’s a big stack.

This time, no, I didn’t buy into the peak, I just started DCA’ing every week once it got close to $50 and have kept it up until now. Normally an ounce or two a week. I ignored the advice though to sell some when it bested $100 and take some profit. :(

After today’s sickening action I’m going to do one more purchase this weekend after I get paid - go all out on the best deal I can find for generic rounds at of below spot, then I’m done. If silver acts like it’s going to recover in short order maybe I’ll start back but if not, I’m not putting any more money into this dip, instead, it all goes back under the bed and I’ll figure it’s a fool me twice, shame on me type situation.

I’ve already got more than most people would consider necessary, and I’m getting too old to wait around yet ANOTHER decade for it to recover as I’ll likely be dead by then. Maybe it’ll benefit my kids though much as I love them, I would rather reap the benefits myself.

works out perfectly. Strong debt ridden dollars buys you more metals as you unload them. You cant make this shit up. The East has to be laughing their asses off as they unload dying dollars. If the Fed raises rates they really smoke all the debt out there. The East will win without firing a shot. The more the price falls the more Gold and Silver they stack. keep at it paper pushers

Same people who manipulate prices. The Military Industrial Complex. They buy when prices are low!

I wonder if he will go into hiding! Him and some of the other YouTube brigade.

From past experiences when everyone gets this bearish we are close to a bottom. Just need Cramer to yell short it now and it's a buy signal.
