This is a photo of Andrew Jackson taken approximately 1845 (just months before his death)
In 1835, Jackson became the only U.S. president to ever pay off the national debt
To reduce the inflationcaused by the Panic of 1837, Jackson supported an Independent Treasury system that would restrict the government from printing paper money and require it to hold its money in physical silver and gold
Jackson died at 78 years of age on June 8, 1845. His deathbed was surrounded by family, friends, and slaves, and he was recorded to have said, "Do not cry; I hope to meet you all in Heaven—yes, all in Heaven, white and black." He was buried in the same tomb as his wife Rachel
—to me, his eyes bespeak a man more concerned with his countrymen than his legacy, it’s noted that according to rumor among some of his last words was the phrase “I killed the bank”, referring to the Second National Bank and counterfeiting operation
@VoicesUnheard Excellent post, this line nailed it:
"If you have to use a decoder ring to tell the truth, you aren't in a free town square. You're in a controlled enclosure."
The US Government is getting involved to bolster and secure critical minerals in a public-private partnership to protect the US critical needs

@OGJohnAG If "someone" dumped two years worth of production on paper in the market in one day, then "someone" is still very short. 633 contracts is just a little over 3,000,000 ounces.
@ThHappyHawaiian The shortage is currently manifesting, wholesale bids have risen markedly over the past 30. Early December saw a retail glut in supply, each week more metal from that glut is being absorbed by retail. 30 more days at this pace will make it very obvious
@ThHappyHawaiian March-April 2023 (Silicon Valley bank failure & others), the Mint was out of ASE's & our dealer replacement cost was $17 over the then $19 Spot price due to retail demand. All retail buyers and no retail sellers. Today, the story is very different as we have both buyers&sellers
@ThHappyHawaiian As an example, an official US Mint Distributor may have a Bid/Ask spread on the Spot price they use of $72.70 Bid/$74.08 Ask. So on ASE's they'd pay us $1 over $72.70 & sell ASE's to us at $3.80 over $74.08
So our spread to the consumer is $2 under what can get & $2over our cost
@ThHappyHawaiian On a wholesale distributor basis, retail items are increasing in cost & availability is dropping, but we still have to contend with high market volatility risk & very wide bid/ask Spot spreads by the distributors. These problems pass along to the end consumer.
