@HicksCBER If 52% of adults don't believe our borders are secure after four years of unsecured Biden era borders, it suggests nearly half of those surveyed are disconnected from reality. It’s hard to believe they're well informed on the other issues in this chart.

@HicksCBER @JamesEBriggs The authors of the value add method list all the reasons the measure isn’t reliable, then promote it as if it is. Hypocrites. It’s also an insult to the best districts. Gee thanks.

COMEX PAPER CRISIS COULD END THE OLD SILVER MARKET FOREVER

The COMEX silver futures market faces growing delivery pressures with low registered stocks and high open interest. While nothing is certain yet, experts warn this could trigger a major shift where big buyers abandon the exchange entirely.

THE POTENTIAL DEATH OF PAPER PRICING
➡️ If COMEX can't deliver physical metal, trust in the system could collapse quickly.
➡️ A rule change to forced cash settlement may happen under extreme pressure.
❌ That single move could expose the entire setup as "just dumb paper" with no real backing.

INDUSTRIES MAY GO DIRECT TO MINERS
✅ Mine CEOs have reported hearing from major buyers interested in off-market deals.
➡️ These inquiries could involve thousands or even hundreds of thousands of ounces per month.
➡️ There are already rumors of buyers willing to pay a premium of 20% – or possibly even more – on top of the spot price for guaranteed physical delivery.

A PARALLEL PHYSICAL MARKET COULD EMERGE
➡️ Large users like Tesla, Toyota, BYD, or high-tech firms may decide to skip COMEX completely.
➡️ They could negotiate straight with producers and refiners instead - (already happened with Samsung!)
➡️This shadow market might grow rapidly and start setting prices based on actual scarcity rather than paper trades.

WHY THIS SCENARIO COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING
➡️ The official spot price may remain suppressed for a while longer.
➡️ But real transactions at big premiums could become the true benchmark over time.
🔥 The wider the gap grows between paper and physical, the faster industries might move away from the old system.

THE PRICE DISCOVERY SHIFT THAT MAY FOLLOW
✅ Industrial demand stays strong and cannot be ignored.
🤯 If major players consistently pay well above spot for secure metal, that level could become the new reality. ➡️ Miners might see better economics, encouraging more production in the long run.

THE BOTTOM LINE
While still just a possibility, a COMEX breakdown could accelerate the rise of an honest physical silver market where industries pay what the metal is truly worth, quietly leaving manipulated paper prices behind.

@HicksCBER I’m not feeling that about now. So you believe America’s inability to process rare earth minerals is best? I don’t.

[David Giffel @davidgiffel]

@CharlieK_news Yes.

[David Giffel @davidgiffel]

@LauraRbnsn Wow I’m not sure how I can across your thread but maybe you need a glass of wine. What scares me is that Dr. in front of your name. How in the world?

@VareForFishers It’s symbolic over substance kinda like you. Ok for you? I will say the event center is pretty nice, convenient, fun, improved quality of life, and good for Fishers. You call for Ref yet no respect for IL? I get it. I’m not near the politician as you or others. I admit it.

[David Giffel @davidgiffel]

@VareForFishers We both know this is symbolic of substance. It’s not going to happen. Fact is these small communities don’t like D ideas or ideology.

[Jocelyn Vare @VareForFishers]

No, @davidgiffel. No one voted to join Indiana. “The referenda language involved the (Illinois) counties splitting off to create a new, 51st state — not joining Indiana.”
Speaker Huston (R) made a choice to author this ridiculous bill. As a stunt, it seems. 😠

@JakeArthurNFL People showed up late and I didn’t see many empty seats midway through Q1.

[David Giffel @davidgiffel]

@VareForFishers Jocelyn, It about the human law of reciprocity. This is not about you. Merry Christmas.

[David Giffel @davidgiffel]

@MFullhart @VareForFishers I noticed you never seemed prepared at those meetings.

[David Giffel @davidgiffel]

@MFullhart @VareForFishers There are people who are decisive vs procrastinators. Fadness saw the opportunity to achieve a new amenity and got it done in short order. Some people don’t like the Event Center, some do. It’s a nice place. we’d probably still be talking about it if up to you?

[David Giffel @davidgiffel]

@VareForFishers @MFullhart Admittedly, I was somewhat in the dark & considered a referendum for the Event Center debt. We had several weeks for due diligence. The Event center had the majority support as I conducted 3 surveys. I was published in a libertarian journal. Fadness moves fast, investigate fast.

[David Giffel @davidgiffel]

@MFullhart @VareForFishers Absolutely. Was it ever mentioned to me by anyone on this council? No. Did I discuss with a couple of friends? Yes. You really think after 40 years that tax revenue will just go away? 😂 surprise, surprise, day of voting after reviewing all the documents to sign. Grandstanding!

[David Giffel @davidgiffel]

@VareForFishers @MFullhart It can always be changed. The reason this was not considered was because YOU didn’t bring it up in the finance committee. Do you really believe 40 years from now anyone will forgo that tax? A consumption tax, a choice to be taxed.
