@IAMAL_PHARIUS @TrevorGoodchild @johndarksouls I'm of the opinion that HFT has no market value and should be prohibited entirely. I note however, that the price of silver on KITCO pumped hard on the 9th, when the first restriction was put into place.

@IAMAL_PHARIUS @TrevorGoodchild @johndarksouls Forgive me, I'm not exactly certain of the effects. Does it mean that they can only open that many contracts per day, or does it limit the total number contracts open period?

@IAMAL_PHARIUS @TrevorGoodchild @johndarksouls The TL,DR of it, is that it is digital coin shaving. No one benefits except the rent seeker.

@TrevorGoodchild More than half a decade in our case, we knew each other before then.

@Lyle If you are in the USA, you may have a case under Tree Law, which is... nasty, to say the least.

@TrevorGoodchild @judgedread I'm already looking at building an asteroid mining index (there are 4 or 5 startups already focused on that) to rotate into once the current 5 - 10 year commodities bull is over.

@judgedread Also looking into finding an index for those sectors, but once I ride up the current commodity wave, I expect I will have more than enough to diversify into at least 4 or 5 sector indexes of different sorts.

@coded_artist @TrevorGoodchild @pepsi_man Could today's kids relate? So much of it is based in the same sort of open-exploration childhood that inspired the Legend of Zelda games. I don't think the Ipad generation has an applicable reference.That being said, god damn 90's kids had the best shows. The old SatAM block was the pinnacle of children's TV.

@verita84 @Evil_Bender I'd be careful disappointing a woman who can cradle 500 kilos of silver in each arm at the same time.

@IAMAL_PHARIUS @LordOfTheKangs This presumes that China is the only player in the market. Will def have an effect, but Central banks around the world are looking to load up, and Trump is already eyeballing locking down the imported silver before long. I think we will see another 20% gain over the next week before the 20-30% dump. It will be a big wave trade that will be over quickly though.

@john_darksoul @IAMAL_PHARIUS @Will2Power Relax, Jim Cramer just recommended Silver as a "sell" within the last 48 hours.

@IAMAL_PHARIUS @john_darksoul @Will2Power Miners still haven't priced in new net inflows, even if the price corrects 30% miners are likely to remain close to net even once earnings hit. If price goes up, they will moon.

@Nils A bit more than that, there was a "Technical issue" that delayed LBMA's open by an hour, and emergency "circuit breakers" that are supposed to trip on a 10% move within a certain time frame didn't trip, even though they should have tripped at least twice.It could be an inside job, or it could be foreign actors raiding the exchange and using the exchange's hardware to do it. Hard to say. The underlying fundamentals support three digit prices in the long term though, and it's likely that Trump will institute some sort of price floor to make producers profitable, considering he needs growth to offset the debt spending and money printing.I think we will see a dead cat bounce over the next week though, the 200 ema on the hourly candles are still at around 103, and the 50 and 200 ema's on that time frame have yet to form a death cross. Meanwhile, Shanghai Metal's exchange is still at 123 or so, and their futures are in the mid-130's. I know some commentators think that they will deleverage like we did, but I think it's current Chinese policy to hoover up as much silver as possible as quickly as possible, so I see them allowing arbitrage to close the gap towards the middle, which is around 105-110. Chinese new years is still 3 weeks away, and I think there will be a giant sucking sound until then.

@Nils @vic In other words, you are liquidity provider/market maker for outliers.
