Island Of Misfits

[Unca Walt]

Woowee -- Silver be going nuts.

Herself and I just now got back from a trip to my LCD. I did not call ahead. Just as well. When we got there, the fargin phones were ringing off the hook.

So the guy says, "How can I help you?"

With a total sense of hopelessness, I mumbled, "Ya got any junk?"

My socks rolled up and down when he said, "Sure do." <-- So I plunked down a few thousand and cleaned him out. YAY. Spot price at that moment: $28.14

Mostly halves, the rest, quarters.

OK... This is a heads up, @putembk and other stackers. It has really begun in Venezuela. Lookit this:

"We got an incredible email this morning from one of our clients who's brother in law is a missionary down in Venezuela. And he was telling us that in Venezuela, once ounce of silver will buy you food for three or four months... one ounce of silver. And an ounce of gold will buy you a house."

"So we're starting to see what I've talking about and predicting for over a year, that we're going to see these countries in Central and South America where everything is going to collapse and if you don't have gold and silver, you literally have nothing."

G'Morning, y'all.

 

[yooper420]

Good morning Islanders. Hope it be warmer where you be cause it be around zero here. Good day to stay buzzed all day.

 

[Unca Walt]

it was all a head fake

im waiting until we get below $20 again

NOT a head-fake, bro. The rubber band is getting tighter every single hour. The PAPER price of silver does not reflect the REAL price of silver.

This makes for two things -- The paper price has gotten to ridiculous impossibilities. Here is a graphic that proves paper price is B.S.

This one is pure B.S. $SLV <-- All paper, all the time.

The silver short squeeze is actually increasing. COMEX (AKA: CRIMEX) has got to come up with physical silver to cover their shortings. Very soon. And they haven't got it.

This one is REAL. They are the ones gobbling up all the actual silver:

Right this minute, the paper price ($SLV) is $27. If you want to buy an actual in your hand ounce of silver, you are going to pay a HUGE premium. That is, if you can find any.

 

[Hippie420]

Damn Walt, that's a big ole snake. You look pretty good for an old fart. I mean open casket good!

 

[Unca Walt]

22 minutes ago... a quick C&P about the Great Silver Short Squeeze...

"Sprott's PSLV continues to make a dent. The WSS guys are abandoning the JP Morgan scam called SLV and pouring funds into PSLV...prompting Sprott to stack MOAR phyzz."
[Edit note: phyzz = physical (silver)]

See what is happening RIGHT NOW? The cartel CB's are in a panic. They MUST "sell" more silver... at the PAPER PRICE. So SLV <-- scam lightning bolt explosion coming -- keeps getting hollowed out, and they are losing badly because Sprott has snarfed up real silver. PSLV goes UP. So Sprott can buy some more silver. The cartel CB's HAVE to "sell" more paper silver to keep the phony price down. Rinse and repeat.

They are so fargin screwed.

There will be guys jumping off ledges. Or thrown off.

@ Walt, damn I just got up. Go ahead and scare me to death..... Got to finish trimming this morning and gonna go and wet a line this afternoon so won't think about this today. I hope things don't get this bad here....I need a drink.

I had a big buzzer nail me oncet. He weighed 22 pounds. View attachment 268680

A big rattler! The Western Diamondbacks where I grew up averaged about 5' and weighed about a pound per foot. I saw one from the Texas panhandle that was about the size of the one in the attached picture.

39F @ 87% RH, rain, and predicted to reach 48F.

Breakfast out with Grayfox and a friend this morning and planning a QWET extraction afterwards.

I'll be testing a EtOH Pro vacuum still for an article and have already run it on straight alcohol to first insure it is working correctly. It worked slick so I'm looking forward to trying it on product.

 

[WeedHopper]

Yep there are some big Rattler's in west Texas. My Step Grandfather use to hunt them.

Am I the only one @mean4green sent his Gif Pic to?

22 layers of derivatives - short sales,

This is what scares me about investing in silver/gold.
The hedge fund profiteers control the market from behind the curtains...

as displayed last week with story of David-Golliath (Robinhood -vs- Hedgers)

also

There have been a number of scandals involving hedge funds over the years. A few of these scandals include the Bernie Madoff investment scandal and the Galleon Group and SAC Capital insider trading scandals. Despite these hedge fund scandals rocking the investment community, the number of assets under management in hedge funds continues to grow.

Hedge funds use pooled funds from large institutional investors or high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) to employ various strategies that seek to create alpha for their investors. Many hedge funds have lower correlations to stock indexes and other common investments. This makes hedge funds a good way to diversify a portfolio. Most hedge funds are well run and do not engage in unethical or illegal behavior. However, with intense competition and large amounts of capital at stake, there are less than scrupulous hedge funds out there.

I know -keeping cash in buried PVC pipe is not the best investment strategy. But at least I can set booby traps to protect it from scumbag investor groups who would sell their own mothers for a profit.

Besides my paid-in-full house,
IRA Funds, 401K, and CD's constitute 95% of my savings/investments.

I have yet to give up on "civilized society" & "trust in banks" - and swap all funds for Gold..
but with each passing day filled with Bizzaro News -
I think about it more & more.

Plan B???
Buy PVC Pipe, End Caps & Glue at Hardward Store,
Get Shovel,
Get 12 ga shotgun,
LOCK & LOAD...

and gonna go and wet a line this afternoon

A periodic fishing report would be greatly appreciated.
I am stuck with feet of snow in woods, ice jammed creeks, and mid winter doldrums.
Snow melt into streams == OFF SWITCH.

Perhaps you can start a new thread in Coffee Table section - and you, I, and other MJ FishHeads can
boast about our piscatorial pursuits....

Interestingly, the world's largest rattlers are found in Northrin Floriduh. I was on Brahma Island (the largest fresh-water island in the US) hawg hunting. Over the fireplace was what I at first thought was a large alligator skin. It was a 16-foot rattlesnake.

Up to that instant, I had no fargin idea that rattlesnakes got even half that size. Here is a 15'1" buzzer. His head was half-again wider than the back of your hand.

What made this one sorta stand out was that it was in a residential area. Look at how he is bending that pole as he writhes. EEEK.

Lastly, here is a pic of a "small" one from Floriduh... only two inches between the fangs (try imitating the fangs using your fingles:

Giid morning. I HATE snakes. The only good one is a dead one.

 

[Tattered Old Graywolf]

Yep there are some big Rattler's in west Texas. My Step Grandfather use to hunt them.

We hunted in the annual Okene rattlesnake roundup, in Okene Oklahoma, which kept the snakes from growing bigger than around 5'. People brought up larger ones from Texas to enter into the size contests, with the largest that I saw at around 13'. Okeene Rattlesnake Hunt

That the snake catcher used a pole that long gives you insight into his thinking. Here is another denizen native to Florida.

36F @ 84% Rh, cloudy with some rain, and predicted to reach 46F.

I ran two half gallon QWET batches of C-99/NL that I grew from Uni's seeds yesterday, trying out the EtOH Pro and it worked slick, as did the concentrate when I dabbed it this morning. Kudos and accolades to Extract Craft for a nice machine and Unigrower for a nice cross!

TOW Are you able to re-claim the ethanol used?
