Your summary is very extremely good. A guess … As money already weaponised, the Greensputin / BurnAndKaput ‘quaint ancient tradition’ as good as weaponised, and from here on out, buy the dip Issue, the possibility that SLV / GLD are used as flywheel for the gold hypothecation / re-hypothecation trade, if true, is a bug (intended or not but undesired feature), and at some juncture paper / physical link might just be one executive-order away. The possibility is a concern. Mining shares less of a concern? Both Canada and Australia have demonstrated recently that they are as issue-prone as S Africa. Pondering. The only ‘things’ I am absolutely sure about are the few coins I have around the abode, that they are anti-fragile against fire, and variants of fire. Am questioning vault storage at banks, and security of brokerage accounts, and and and I should have thought of it when the thread name was changed to 2026 / 2032. Of course, doh …

Martin ask-socrates.com Gold and Sanctions The Biden Administration joined by some lunatic Republicans is moving to carry out the next step in this Financial War which, like WWII, began in the Financial markets that led to outright war. For those who do not know the real history behind the Great Depression because of the fake news even back then, Germany could not meet the reparation payments that were demanded by France. There was a proposal that Germany and Austria should combine in order to be able to make the reparation payments. Everyone agreed except France. They began WWII by shorting the Austrian bonds, then turned on Germany, and when Britain tried to defend Germany, the French turned on the Brits. In 1931, everyone defaulted because of the financial war, and that drove the dollar to record highs. Because of these financial sanctions and the crisis that erupted in 1931, by 1933, there was a political Panic Cycle Year on our model where FDR came to power in the USA, Hiter in Germany, and Mao Zedong in China. The question that we will have to answer will be similar. Will all these sanctions against Russians, which will be permanent no matter what they say, lead to WWIII? Unfortunately, our computer comes back and answers - YES! Now we have brain-dead Republicans joining and even more brain-dead Biden Administration that with this group of insane US senators proposing a bill targeting Russia's $132 billion in gold, per Axios. The legislation would apply restrictions on American entities making gold transactions with Russia's central bank holdings. The senators also aim to include the gold sanctions in the omnibus spending package that could pass as soon as Friday. Interestingly, we have had three Directional Changes in a row and tomorrow is a Panic Cycle. Then Friday has high volatility which would be a standard 3-day reaction. We must be cautious tomorrow for a Panic cycle can be a strong move in one direction or an outside reversal. The support technically lies at 1983 and today's low was 1981. The worse part of now sanctioning Russia's gold reserves which are held about 32% in the Eurozone of which 21.7% is actually in gold is yet to unfold. China holds just under 14% of Russia's total reserves Longer-term, sanctioning Russia's reserves held in other central banks is a clear warning sign that I would have to advise other nations that might be in a potential conflict with the USA, they should immediately withdraw all reserves from foreign central banks. We are looking at probably the most stupid political leadership in world history. They slap on sanctions without any comprehension of what they are doing to the world economy and their own businesses. For example, the notorious BlackRock founder and CEO Larry Fink who is also in league with Klaus Schwab, has just proven that he is not capable of managing the size of money he has. BlackRock's "Emerging Frontiers" fund has just posted a loss on Russian investments of about 10% of the entire fund. The fund was managing some just under $1 trillion as of the end of January 2022. A fund of this size means there is no way it can be managed in a proper manner for it cannot turn on a dime and if it tries, it will be causing its own demise. Blackrock has grown BECAUSE interest rates are down. The losses to McDonald's, Coke, and others who have closed their stores in Russia on a me-too decision will be able to kiss those assets goodbye. Once they pulled out of Russia for political purposes, they have broken faith with the Russian people and may find that this is not going to be temporary, but a permanent loss. We are approaching the ECM next Monday. It will be interesting to see which market aligns to the very day for those who will be typically the ones with the greatest focus.
