Let us have a look at the data for today

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

In silver, the total open interest  FELL BY A TINY  37 contracts from  193 ,899 DOWN TO 193,862 WITH  YESTERDAY’S TRADING IN WHICH SILVER HAD NO GAIN.  THE CROOKS ARE STILL HAVING AN AWFUL TIME TRYING TO COVER THEIR MASSIVE SILVER SHORTS SO THEY CONTINUE TO TORMENT. THIS IS OPTIONS EXPIRY WEEK FOR BOTH GOLD AND SILVER SO WE MUST EXPECT SOFTNESS IN OUR METAL PRICES UNTIL THE 31ST OF OCTOBER. THEY ARE ALSO TARGETING THE 200 DAY AVERAGE FOR GOLD AT $1266.00

RESULT: A TINY SIZED FALL IN OI COMEX  WITH THE  0 CENT PRICE GAIN.  OUR BANKERS COULD NOT COVER ANY OF THEIR HUGE SHORTFALL.

 In ounces, the OI is still represented by just UNDER 1 BILLION oz i.e.  0.970 BILLION TO BE EXACT or 139% of annual global silver production (ex Russia & ex China).

FOR THE NEW FRONT OCT MONTH/ THEY FILED: 64 NOTICE(S) FOR 320,000  OZ OF SILVER.

In gold, the open interest  FELL BY 453 CONTRACTS DESPITE THE RISE IN PRICE OF GOLD ($0.70) .  The new OI for the gold complex rests at 526,221. OUR BANKER FRIENDS COULD NOT COVER ANY OF THEIR SHORTFALL DESPITE THE CONSTANT WHACKING .  THIS IS OPTIONS EXPIRY WEEK SO IT IS FITTING THAT THE BANKERS WILL TRY TO SHAKE AS MANY GOLD/SILVER LEAVES AS POSSIBLE. THE TORMENT WILL NO DOUBT END ON OCT 31.2017

Result: A SMALL SIZED  DECREASE IN OI DESPITE RISE IN PRICE IN GOLD ($0.70). WE HAD MINIMAL BANKER GOLD SHORT COVERING AS THE BANKERS FAILED MISERABLY TO LOOSEN ANY GOLD LEAVES FROM THE GOLD TREE YESTERDAY. THIS IS OPTIONS EXPIRY WEEK SO EXCEPT SOFTNESS IN OUR PRECIOUS METALS UNTIL OCT 31.

we had: 85 notice(s) filed upon for 8500  oz of gold.

1. Today, we had the open interest in silver FELL   BY  37 contracts from 193,899  UP TO 193,862(AND now A LITTLE FURTHER FROM THE NEW COMEX RECORD SET ON FRIDAY/APRIL 21/2017 AT 234,787) .  OUR BANKERS WERE AGAIN UNSUCCESSFUL IN THEIR ATTEMPT TO COVER ANY OF THEIR SILVER SHORTS.

RESULT:  A TINY SIZED DECREASE IN SILVER OI  AT THE COMEX DESPITE THE ZERO GAIN IN PRICE  (WITH RESPECT TO YESTERDAY’S TRADING). OUR BANKER FRIENDS WERE UNSUCCESSFUL IN THEIR ATTEMPT TO COVER ANY OF OUR SILVER SHORTS . EXPECT SOFTNESS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK AS WE ARE NOW IN OPTIONS EXPIRY WEEK.
