JP Morgan manipulating silver market

Anyone heard about the alleged manipulation of silver prices by JP Morgan? It's not a big story but the info is out there. Here's a quote from the article that pretty much sums up what I've suspected has been going on.

"The investigations were sparked by allegations made by metals trader Andrew Maguire, who the Post interview last month. “JPMorgan acts as an agent for the Federal Reserve; they act to halt the rise of gold and silver against the U.S. dollar. JPMorgan is insulated from potential losses [on their short positions] by the Fed and/or the U.S. taxpayers,” said Maguire."

No evidence of wrongdoing will be found. This just confirms the theories out there of why precious metals prices don't have much rhyme or reason lately. They always seem to go down in the face of news that should send them soaring. Precious metals are thought by many people to be a barometer for the economy. When they go crazy it creates uncertainty and fear. As long as they're stable the experts can make the case that the economy is fine. JP Morgan isn't the only one doing this.

Ever since I got into silver, which was about a year ago. I've been reading about this,and it makes sense.

That there is less silver than gold, yet silver sells far less. The only answer, as you point out, manipulation of the silver market.

This is worst than what the Hunt brothers did back in early 80s.

I don't think that there's more silver than gold. This is only worse than when the hunt brothers did it because the government is helping and advocating for it this time.

Some Self Defense Basics

Image
Hey, everyone. If you haven't noticed by now I've been focusing a lot on self defense lately. It seems to be almost completely ignored by people in preparedness circles. I can understand why. It takes a long time to get good at it. There's a lot of getting sweaty and rolling around with other sweaty people. It's pretty easy to get hurt. Especially, if you're just rolling around with your buddies in your backyard. Quality training is pretty expensive. Besides, why learn how to fight when you can just carry a gun? Realistically, though, there aren't too many situations that we should be prepping for that are more likely than getting jumped on the street and sometimes pulling a gun will get you in a lot more trouble than it's worth. Here are some really good videos on self defense basics. Stephan Kesting has a lot of BJJ videos online and he's one of the better "youtube instructors" that I've found. He sticks to the basics and he ...

Why you should train jiu-jitsu (or some other "real" martial art)

"Where there's discomfort there's fear. In these very tough positions you're in a little piece of hell. And through this daily suffering, you learn to survive in these situations. You have to find comfort in uncomfortable situations. You have to be able to live in your worst nightmare. Jiu-jitsu puts you completely in the moment where you must have complete focus on finding a solution to the problem. This trains the mind to build that focus, to increase your awareness, your capacity to solve problems. Sometimes, you don't have to win. You cannot win. But that has nothing to do with losing." -Rickson Gracie This is why I continue to train jiu-jitsu. At a good school you'll do a lot of live grappling (we call it rolling). You get choked out, arm barred, leg locked and put into plenty of other uncomfortable situations all the time till you get used to them. Then you start learning how to defend. Then you find yourself submitting people. Then a...
