 [music] Silver is now a critical mineral as now reclassified by the government. And what do you know? They just said we will put state sponsored um price floors underneath all critical minerals within the next 90 days. That was a law that was just passed last week. That is to incentivize domestic mining of all of these critical minerals because you know prices are where they are. On the day on Christmas Day about a week before this year, they raised margins. On Christmas Day, you needed 21,000 in your margin

account to hold 5,000 ounce silver contract. Silver was 60 bucks roughly. On Christmas Day, the next day, they raised it by 30%. If you don't pay, we're going to unwind and liquidate your account. So, now you have to put 27,000 uh 27, sorry, $27,000 in your margin account. The reason I said 47 is today it's $45,000 an ounce to control 5,000 ounces. A company like mine will have 2 million ounces of silver in any given time. >> Just been officially reclassified as a critical mineral. New legislation is

advancing rapidly and behind the scenes, physical silver is being pulled out of the system at an unprecedented pace. At the same time, central banks continue to accumulate gold aggressively while paper markets are being tightened through higher margin requirements and reduced leverage.

It is a deep structural shift that most investors will fail to recognize until the consequences become impossible to ignore. So, what is really happening

I mean well it's being repriced in the respect that you're finally finding equilibrium between real supply and demand. Unfortunately the market has

been controlled by paper derivatives where the ability of the western banks eight of them in silver eight um one in one or two in Canada three or four two or three in Europe and five or so in the United States have maintained the largest concentrated short position of any commodity ever traded in the thousand plus commodities on comx ever. Let me say that again. The largest concentrated short position of any commodity ever traded on comx. Why? Why? And to me that's the first question. And the answer is in my mind

because of the military-industrial complex. The west has ruled the world through strong military. The amount of silver needed in high-tech weaponry from cruise missiles to F-35s to stealth bombers to submarines, nuclear sub, all this stuff. And these really really high-tech weapons now that are going Mach 3, Mach 5, whatever they are, the the um hypersonic missiles, the heat that is generated in the cone of the missiles is so extraordinary, the only thing that works is silver. And the military-industrial complex doesn't care

about the price, right? Because if it if if you need 500 ounces in a in a high-tech weapon uh cruise missile that sells for $20 million, what the hell do you care what the price is? It's more along the lines of the rest of the world understanding how important and vital it is in everything, not just military, digital, electronics, you name it, let alone the monetary aspect of it. What I think the only thing people need to understand, and I will say this to you all, the only thing you need to

understand is who the hell is standing for delivery every single month on COMX, every month for billions of dollars worth, billions upon billions upon in December. It was the largest delivery in the history of the COMX market for silver for a December contract. Like 65 million ounces so far in January, which is not a primary delivery month. We're over 40 million. So in the last 40 days, we've seen what 120 million ounces nearly stand for delivery. Who's doing that? A mint box of silver eagles is 42

pounds, 500 ounces. Who's buying 110 million ounces? And I think when you understand this, when you look at the deliveries off of of the LBMA and the massive deliveries off of COMX, what I would say to you is that the most wellfunded, but more importantly, Charlotte, the most well-informed people at that level don't do this for the hell of it. Right? If you're dropping billions and billions of do you not think you know where it's going, are you not really connected to the inside when

you're spending that kind of money? And I would argue it's not a one-off. It's been every month since Trump won the election. And then what do you know? Silver is now a critical mineral as now reclassified by the government. And what do you know? They just said we will put state sponsored um price floors underneath all critical minerals within the next 90 days. That was a law that was just passed last week. That is to incentivize domestic mining of all of these critical minerals because, you

know, prices are where they are. if they're not if there isn't a floor at a high enough level. You can't incentivize domestic mining for things that are becoming harder to find. Uh and then they just came out and said now there is a proposal in front of the house and sen it's cleared one of the chambers. I think the house has to now pass the senate saying we need to build a strategic stockpile of all of these minerals. What you are seeing is not two brothers in 1980 the hunt brothers

trying to corner a market where same environment they see way more paper than bars and they're supposed to be one to one. employee. If I buy all these paper contracts, but there's not as many bars back there. Well, what if we stand for delivery? What happens? Price goes way up. Well, the the exchange changed the rules on the Hunt Brothers. They said, "You can't be that long, but you can be short as much as you want." They had to sell the contracts. 2011, it was about leverage and and and um the leverage

that speculation. So, what did they do? They raised margins a bunch of times. And if you raise margins on the COMX, meaning you have to have more in the margin account than you did the day before, they keep raising until the people who are on margin are forced to sell, which drops the price, which begets more selling, and the price collapses. Didn't come back for 15 years. On the day on Christmas Day, about a week before this year, they raised margins. On Christmas Day, you needed 21,000 in your margin account to

hold 5,000 ounce silver contract. Silver was 60 bucks roughly on Christmas Day. The next day they raised it by 30%. If you don't pay, we're going to unwind and liquidate your account. So now you have to put $27,000 or excuse me, $47,000 in your margin account. Uh 27, sorry, $27,000 in your margin account. The reason I said 47 is today it's $45,000 an ounce to control 5,000 ounces. A company like mine will have 2 million ounces of silver at any given time. If it costs $45,000 to hedge

my exposure, meaning the margin account means I short two million ounces on paper on COMX. I have two million here. I short. If the price falls by $10 an ounce, I'm down on two. I'm down $20 million. I'm out of business. But what I sold short goes up by the exact same amount. But in order to maintain that position, I have to have $47,000 per 5,000 ounces. You have to have millions. That's before the gold 35 or 36,000 for one 100 ounce gold contract. Well, what that does to the speculators, the people

who might be very wealthy, but they're not wealthy like so sovereign central banks, sovereign wealth funds, Tesla, Samsung, Sony, who don't play on margin. These people get shook and all of a sudden they have to sell to cover the margin requirement. Maybe they have 50 contracts and they have 20 million in their margin account and all of a sudden the price jacks way up on margin and the price of silver is moving up seven bucks on Friday. It's up right now and in just as the market opened in Asia it's up

three bucks. They're going to get margin called again. So they sell the weekends sell. They're forced to. And what happens? the big money who is not on margin comes in and says, "Yeah, we'll take um you know, we'll we'll take the the 50 million ounces of silver." Every single month for the last 15 or 16 months, between I don't know, 30 and 50 million ounces of silver are standing for delivery every single month. Hit subscribe and stay one step ahead.
