JPM
JPMorgan Chase & Co.
stock NYSE

Trump just sued JPM for debarking his family. JPM and the traditional banking system is full of crooks who belong in prison.

C stands from Customer
H stands from House
Basically a customer of JPM closed their short position. 3m oz is yet too smal to make a difference.

That was a customer account (C), not JPM's house account (H)

Out of curiosity, are people here using monte carlo simulation tools for planning? Back in the day I worked for a software vendor and we did a few of those tools for asset managers who made advisory portals around them, but what about regular folks like us, do you believe a multi-period monte carlo simulation adds value in those portfolio decisions?
I was not able to find a retail-accessible tool that does what we implemented for institutional clients and actually started playing with this myself as a side project for personal use but was wondering if that makes sense given that it is not the most trivial of tasks (I am refreshing old knowledge but still..) and started wondering if I am overengineering this for the scale I am at ? Since JPM and likely many others are publishing CME/correlation data regularly it should be straightforward to feed such a tool (although those are not as long term as we project but what is after all), but overall, what do you think the value added would be for someone that just wants to manage his own money?
On a separate note, we even did portfolio optimization on top of the simulations once and the client was really excited about it but I have no idea if they ever used it after - do you think that adds value (it was probably one of the most complex projects we had back then so likely the cost-to-benefit is not all that good) ?

I haven't seen any other teams except those from the bank that have already been convicted in court for precious metal market manipulation.
Too many coincidences for my taste:
\- JPM closed its short position at exactly the lowest point. Only someone who knows that the powder has been shot can do that.
\- The London Metal Exchange is offline on Friday morning due to technical problems.
\- The HSBC trading system is offline in Hong Kong on Friday.
\- COMEX increases margin requirements on Friday.
\- They waited until Asian trading closed and then let the party begin.
\- Actually, there were already signs at the beginning of the week, such as this: Massive $36M Silver Short Position Opened (The Trade Breakdown:
Position Size: $36,000,000
Leverage: 25x
Liquidation Level: Near $125
Market Sentiment: High Conviction / Extreme Risk)

John AG AI Asian Guy just went through this on the Boring Currency channel.
In short it is really tough to prove a player like JPM had intent to actively manipulate a market.
But I agree that something stinks to high heaven …

JPM on Friday had to deliver 633 contracts x 5000 oz =3,165,000 oz. They saved $40 x 633 x 5000 or $126,600,00 in one day. ($125 -$85) Boy that’s a cool payday. If you read this, vote

Look what we know now. The market was manipulated by Mr JPM and the exchanges who colluded. JP closed a short position at the very bottom making a huge profit. If you look at the causes of the fall beyond the FED chaiman nonsense- Fake news was put out by Rueters about the goverment ending support for precious metals, the US goverment denyed this. At roughly the same time the exchanges raised margin calls forcing the start of market downturn. Marging requirements run the paper market and the exchanges can change at any time. The exchanges knew that when they aggresivly hiked the margin requirements trading positions would be liquidated. Algo trading mass selling and closing stop losses made it worse. The exchanges have colluded like this before increasing margin calls. Note the precident every time margin requirements have been raised,silver crashes. After the Lehman crises the exchanges raised marging five times in two weeks silver crashed. In December 2025 during holiday trading with thin trading this happend as they raised margin calls twice. Silver crashed. Nothing has changed for the actual demand for the underlying silver its just paper manipulation of the market. Watch the price rise again!

Didn’t JPM take physical order of their silver?

Unfortunately so, bro. Pure & utter manipulation in both directions & certain banks (JPM, HSBC... cough, cough) looks awfully sus imo...

Well in this case, if you look at the order flows is mostly coming from JPM, BoA, GS, almost all major banks. And guess what price they all dumped and opened short positions on? (Especially silver). And guess where they all closed those short positions. Yep you guessed it. $120-$75.
If that’s not manipulation then idk what is. 🤷‍♂️

[WTS] Rare/Premium Vintage Silver. Cripple Creek, Motherlode, JPM, PAMP - Show Stoppers!

Bingo! As a real estate developer Trump has been on the opposite side of bankers his whole life. And they didn't really give him much support during his NYC banking fraud trial. He's suing JPM and Jamie for 6 billion for debanking. Hey may be TACO but one thing that will never change: he wants cheap money and low interest rates.
As stated above, this was the "excuse."

Good call. I am doing the same, moving money from SGOV into a high divi portfolio. I actually sold the JPM funds and bought the GPIQ, which is more tax efficient. Also, sold the QQQI and moved it to GPIQ because of the overlap. I also added some international exposure with VYMI and IDVO. The other 3 in my portfolio are DIVO, SPYI, IAUI. All in, it’s about 8% yield and the TR last year was around 30%. Good luck on your income portfolio!

Don't buy BRK.B dude. When Buffet dies it's going to drop. Buy it then.
UNH is a decent pick. I'd flag GE and the big banks (BAC and JPM) for steady growth within your time horizon.

With JP Morgan and Comex manipulation… why are we pushing Jo Morgan’s own narrative when they are saying the opposite with their actions?

Everyone is panicking over a little correction. Banks like JPM CCB are artificially fu*king with the market. This isn't a digital crypto trade. It's a currency that's been used for thousands of years and will survive when the dollar bites the dust.

Personally I see it as market manipulation.
28th JPM claims ~50% Drop
29th Drops a little over 30%
29th After market close, JPM purchases 3.1M oz silver, El Salvador buys $50 million worth of gold.
The buys at these levels basically set a new floor. As well as drive prices up, so come market opening later today, you can expect a rise in price.

Something for us to think about and be wary.. i presume not all of us are insanely rich and we work hard for our money.. so here is something for you and me to consider. For any fellow holders of precious metals.

An elephant in the room is that the USA has $32trillion of debt.. 32 TRILLION!? a third needs to be refinanced this year, $9trn.. a THIRD of all US debt
it was borrowed using 10 year treasuries at low interest rates after the credit crisis.. and yields are now higher.

**EXPLAINED and why it is important**

Think of your mortgage needing to be renewed,

But interest rates are higher.. but imagine the scenario when your banmks are saying your house is not worth anything.. it looks shit, it aint so nice anymore.
Then fewer banks are willing to lend you money... and if they do, they charge you more interest as you dont look so trustworthy anymore..
it's a genuine worry.
To improve things you hire an amazing builder, who will fix up your house, make your neghboiurhood better etc.... so your mortgage starts looking more attractive.
This is what Warsh's move means. it was a signal to say the dollar will be protected.
until now there was a growing movement including myself that thought dollar debasement was the only way the USA can get out of the debt.

By printing more money QE and purchasing their own debt and make the debt smaller. This erodes the value of the dollar and the only house in town is Gold.
Warsh's nomination is a signal that no.. the house is still good... and we're giving a fight...
**What to look for**
If the upcoming bond auctions do well, 10y yields stay low. and the bid to cover ratio stay healthy.. the debasement trade will likely not reignite, at least not to the same ferocity as we have seen. -> Bad for Gold and Silver
If the bond auctions dont go so well... then the dollar is in trouble. -> Great for gold and silver
The ol' orange turd has probably been explained how money works.

**In other news.... Silver Squeeze**
In COMEX vaults the inventory is split in two. Registered and Eligible.

Registered is available for delivery and that is definitely and clearly having a squeeze. 47.1% of it claimed for delivery on Jan.
however there is still 300m ounces in eligible, held by who knows who.. could be JPM, could be Tesla or industry players that need it, or insanely rich dudes parking their wealth... they can choose to move it to registered and be available for ownership.... ie put it back in the market.

With falling prices, this might be something they do and could replenish the market.
People have been holding silver.. just like me... but people got burnt and may need to sell the silver or panic and sold the silver..

if you havent, im sure you can imagine or see posts on hear that atleast some did or were forced to. the situation, changes slightly as silver starts to enter the market again.
Keep vigilant and see data for yourselves.. see what happens in Feb to registered and eligible inventory will be worth watching and how much of futures contracts go to delivery.
Also watch US Treasury announcements 3rd and 4th feb on how much debt they will be refinancing and in what time frames.
11th Feb watch the details for the Treasury auction... and watch the Bid to Cover ratios and the US 10year yields
I have a personal dash that monitors this daily... if you want access let me know.

**IMPORTANTLY**
* I am NOT saying the squeeze is not real.
* I am NOT saying the dollar is kosher..
* I am asking, if your not so rich and just trying to make your nut.. like me then folks to not go by reddit posts or Ai guys.. be careful. patience pays.. worth watching the data and what happens.
