So, it's all been a bit of stagecraft... designed for purpose ? Full three ringed circus treatment ? Not only intended to herd the sheep where they're intended to go... but to end the play just as abruptly as it was begun... only once objectives are well enough secured ? Another one of those conflicting ideas its useful to sustain as resident in a corner of the grey matter ?

I think there are more shoes yet to drop... Include in that... growing risks of systemically important financial institution failures. Or, was it just a really sound policy preference to ELIMINATE reserve standards ? I'm not even sure that's actually even legal... not that being true would make it into an obstacle... The "Lehman moment" of March 2020 ? There are probably not all that many who might have engaged in the dump on silver yesterday ? I'm sure the participants in that trade know what it was about... who it was about... I'd just noted the week before the tell tale tracks of "leakage" of gold into the market... It looks like there's a bank out there... that's sick... that can't crawl to the Repo window... Hmm. What bank... has been under a lot of stress... that has well known connections fo the silver trade ? So we've seen all these oddball trades recently that have to be about converting assets to meet some need ? And needing to to that, but not being able to do so... "on the books"... ? I don't think we're done yet... But, a pause, mid-carnage ? Would find that not shocking... Consistent with behavior I've seen in others in similarly "panicked" circumstances...
