Gillick - no contest.
Just as a young head Victoria is more attractive than a Jubilee head.

They refer to naked short: 
Naked short selling involves the short selling of shares that do not exist. Normally, the investor must first borrow shares before selling short
 
When you short an asset you bet that the asset will go down and you borrow the shares beforehand so you can. If you are shorting and you are right, you then close the share (return the shares) but receive the previous / higher value (hence the difference)
you and I (average Joes) will never be allowed to have naked shorts (shorts without borrowing before hand) but the banks are allowed to do that. 
in LBMA and Comex naked shorting is the practice, not the exeption
Do you remember the GameStop short squeeze? Some big boys were shorting (naked) and some people decided to buy the available shares at the same time, leaving a naked short without any shares to borrow and close it
so imagine, you have borrowed 1bn$ GameStop, naked shorting with the hope to drop the price and close it next day; someone buys all available shares and you can’t close the short; you are left with paying day by day the fees for borrowing which go higher every day since the price increases; at one point your borrower will ask you to cover the shirt and you might get bust 
…but in metals, it is believed that JP owns more silver than anyone else (physical) …good luck messing  with their naked shorts 
and in nickel, we saw a couple of months ago, how a naked short-et was allowed to walk away when the price sky rocketed…and froze the market…
you now can tell me if that is a fair market..:) 
hope that helps:) 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

That explains a lot. so low float stocks. 
Me too and it just does not feel right.
I stay out when its time to short or gather positions for bounces. 
Natural Gas & Apple would be nice to short but I just dont like it. 
Strange as its just the opposite of normal trading, especially with ETF's. 
Totally. I can see $30 silver but not before it goes back to $12. Its horrendously undervalued in real terms. 
Thequestion is will the bubble burst and will the high price be sustained and not brought backdown again?? 
Dont forget Teledoc - down 40% this week - she loaded up at the top & owns $1billion in shares. 
She sold Tesla to buy more Teledoc on Thursday - but it cost her $400 in losses!!
https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/teladoc-stock-price-implosion-1q-earnings-ark-invest-cathie-wood-2022-4?op=1 
I bought too & Im already up 10% already as I bought at major support. 

Teledoc. If my maths is correct ($170/$33) she is 500% underwater with a billion $ of investors money. 
She should change her name to 'CathiesTitanic'
 



I watch her videos (as I find her strangely attractive) and she is not thick is she!! 
Why buy a bunch of stocks that are grossly over valued already??
Especially as you have a team of experts on hand as advisors - does not add up!! 

Her Tesla predictions are interesting - £4,500 by 2026 - seriously?? 
People are still buying Tesla it was the only thing green yesterday!!

I might start keeping my eye on the scottish mortgage in investment trust by BG. 
Similar and not run by a bell end. 

If I am reading this right her cost average on Cloudfare is $120 on a $80 stock? 

Brilliant!  ..and very true

On a light hearted note of the seriousness of the situation in the markets globally...

You'd be surprised how some Gillicks have fared over the years despite not having been circulated as currency.
>99% of sovereigns that are the bedrock and sometimes the obsession of collectors were originally "bullion" or circulating curremcy coins when minted.
Which sovereigns do you regard as "numismatic", as you put it, and were they minted as such?
Numismatic coins from 200 years ago started life as boring bullion/currency coins. People collect all manner of coins and will always want the highest possible quality. Gillick sovereigns are only 50-60 years old but they have started generating a lot of interest from collectors and investors recently. The collectors will want the best quality and most see third party graded coins as the best way to obtain these coins, both as collectors and investors.
"I hoped this was just a yankee bad attitude ...."  Bad taste IMO my friend☹️

@flyingveepixie, Bully (@HerefordBullyun) has in his signature a link to a page he has created with several videos that might help:

If you are a new member and want to know why we stack PMs look at this link https://www.thesilverforum.com/topic/56131-videos-of-significance/#comment-381454

Agreed, Cathie's ARK pool if full of "cutting edge" tech companies. FAANG stocks and the like. Look at some of them...

Facebook (Meta) down 40.92% YTD
Apple down 13.45% YTD
Amazon down 27.32% YTD
Netflix down 68.19% YTD

They're all over cooked, all rely on people have spare/surplus currency and belief in the system. As soon as people start struggling, they stop spending.  These companies will crash a lot further, and so will this ARK investment portfolio

I find this article very instructive for shorting since you see effects historically 
 
https://www.etfstream.com/news/big-short-s-michael-burry-closes-bet-against-cathie-wood-s-arkk-etf/
My views is that Woods ARK fund is a bag full of over-expensive ‘darkpool’  
Michael Burry, the guy who shorted the banks in during the 2007-08 era over the mortgages has decided to short Cathie in 2021. He also believed that her fund is a ‘darkpool’
But if you remember, during that time FED were still bullish, people were optimistic, no war, inflation subdued…so ARK increases and Burry (according to the article) closed the bet 
I believe he is shorting her fund now and reaping huge gains …ARK had dropped like a stone

Think of the banks manipulation as an opportunity to put some of your savings into physical PMs. The banks know that we know (and the knowing is growing around the world), that the value of FIAT currency is worthless and is getting more worthless daily based on more FIAT debt creation (QE). More and more people are realising the con, in that FIAT is only backed by the promise of the incumbent government to give you another piece of plastic or paper with the same numbers stamped on it, which is only as safe as the taxes that they can collect. As soon as enough, and it's not the majority of a countries population, doesn't believe the lies in the value of the currency anymore, then you get into 2 scenarios, both end in that currencies collapse, and usually it is through hyper-inflation.
At that point there will be a rush to tangible commodities. This is why the big banks (JPM, BofA, Goldman Sachs etc..) have large holdings of PMs. They are waiting for the time that we all see the con and the currencies collapse. They then hold the silver and gold and come out on top again... sadly. This is the wealth preservation you, I, Bully and others on this forum are planning for, but are also kind of hoping never comes to fruition. The world will be in a dark place if globally we are hit with hyper-inflation and currency devaluation.

On other sites and forums people talk and dream of silver going to $300/ounce and exclaim they will be rich. That is the wrong way round. If silver gets to that lofty height, it will mean that the USD has lost a further 1200% on value (hyper-inflation will be the norm). It's the inverse. This is as long as the banks control the price. They will happily destroy the world, than cede their power and control back to us all.

If the big banks were removed or the countries returned to a gold standard (or a commodities basket standard), and they needed to clear the debt, price discovery would take place and the new norms would be found. This is the utopia we dream of.
 

Thanks @flyingveepixie I personally decided long ago to not engage in shorting…I’m just to small for that and the risk is not worth it…but knowing something is artificially kept low is useful  follow your instincts 

100000000000000000000000000000000%

@HerefordBullyun@papi1980Ah thanks guys.  I'll have to read over both of your posts several times to try to make it sink in as I still can't get my head around it.  How can you make a profit by buying loads of something for which the selling price then falls?  Maybe I'm too thick for this game lol...🙃

Actually darkpools is a very good name for all that sh…t in the PM market manipulations…I just imagined that as a daily flow constantly from bullion banks 
but looking on the silver lining…because of that we are still able to get some gold/silver with our paper money:)
