Q Research General #16321: you must walk through the darkness before you see the light Edition
APMEX Statement On Current Market Conditions:
In the last week, we have seen a dramatic shift in Silver demand from our customers. For example, the ratio of ounces sold per day was running about two times earlier in the week and closer to four times the average demand by the end of the week. Once markets closed on Friday, we sawdemand hit as much as six times a typical business day and more than 12 times a normal weeKend day. Combined with the extremely high demand levels, we are also seeing a surge in new customers. On Saturday alone, we added as many new customers as we usually add in a week.
Any Precious Metal dealer will take a long position in the futures market to protect against spot price exposure when the markets open. We do this because it is our goal not to take a speculative position on metal. The weeKends are unique as we are not able to real-time hedge our position. We took an aggressive position this weeKend, but clearly could not have predicted the volumes that were seen. We have partnerships around to world that allowed us to cover these long positions, but only to a point. Once we exceeded our comfort levels, we had little choice but to stop the sale of Silver on our website. This was a difficult decision to make and unprecedented in our history.
As we evaluate the markets, it is difficult to know where Silver's price and demand will go in the coming day and weeks. APMEX is highly capitalized and has more than $150 million in inventory to support demand. We have made strategic decisions to procure additional metal, locking up any metal we can find in the market place. We suspect premiums will rise and rise quickly, as we are seeing significant increases in our costs, when we can even locate the metal. It is also highly likely that we will need an additional day or two to fill orders based on current order counts. The one guarantee we can make to our customers is that you will only be sold metal that is on-site, or we have procured the metal with a firm commitment date from our partners. In markets like this, we feel this is the best approach a retailer can take, as no one can predict product availability.
We want to thank our customers for their patience and understanding during these turbulent times. APMEX prides itself on best in class service and delivering on promises to our customers.
Regards,
Ken Lewis
CEO, APMEX

Q Research General #9587: Musty Charms are Magically Suspicious Edition
Not a fan but this is San Francisco where they release murderers…
SF judge holds GOP House candidate Omar Navarro on stalking charges
Navarro is accused of his threatening ex-girlfriend: 'I'm going to have antifa come after your family'
A Republican candidate seeking to unseat U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters was remanded into custody Thursday for allegedly continuing to stalk his ex-girlfriend after being released from jail on $75,000 bail over the weeKend.
Omar Navarro, a 30-year-old resident of Torrance, was arrested overnight Saturday after being spotted outside the Outer Sunset apartment of DeAnna Lorraine Tesoriero, a conservative commentator who is also running for congress.
Navarro bailed out of County Jail only to continue texting Tesoriero dozens of times in the following days in an apparent violation of a restraining order she obtained against him back in August, according to the District Attorney's Office.
Navarro appeared in court for the first time Thursday wearing a blue suit and pleaded not guilty to the charges.
He was taKen away in handcuffs at the end of the hearing in which prosecutor Courtney Burris recited a lengthy list of threatening text messages Navarro allegedly sent Tesoriero,
Navarro ran two unsuccessful campaigns to unseat Waters in 2016 and 2018. He has also reportedly courted the support of far-right figures including political operative Roger Stone and former Sheriff Joe Arpaio from Arizona.
Prosecutors say Navarro and Tesoriero dated for a few months in the beginning of the year.
But ever since the relationship ended in April, Burris said Navarro had engaged in a "troubling, ongoing, escalating pattern of stalking."
Navarro allegedly began showing up at places uninvited. He is accused of threatening to destroy her reputation by leaking incriminating photos and publishing defamatory information. He also threatened to kill himself and to hire a hitman to kill her, prosecutors allege.
"I'm going to have antifa come after your family," Navarro allegedly told her.
The alleged threats escalated to the point that Tesoriero moved to San Francisco from Redondo Beach "specifically just to get away from Mr. Navarro," Burris said.
"You will push me to be Dexter," Navarro allegedly told Tesoriero, referencing the Showtime television show about a serial killer.
Then at around 2 a.m. on Dec. 8, prosecutors say Tesoriero received a series of robo calls. When she finally picked up, she said Navarro was on the line.
Tesoriero called police and Navarro was arrested outside her building.
After being released on bail, Burris said Navarro tried to convince Tesoriero not to cooperate with prosecutors.
His attorney, Ken Lewis, told a different story about what happened.
Lewis argued that Tesoriero had called Navarro and told him to visit her in San Francisco as a set up. He also claimed that Navarro hadn't sent the text messages - his enemies on social media had.
"There are a lot of people don't like him your honor," Lewis told the judge. "Any one of these people could be doing this... to try to make him look bad."
Lewis also disputed that Tesoriero moved up to San Francisco to avoid Navarro.
"She's running for congress against Nancy Pelosi," Lewis said. "She had to move up here at some point your honor. I don't think she did it just because of him."
Arguing that his client should not be remanded into custody, Lewis said Navarro being booked back into jail would damage his campaign.
"This just blows his whole campaign out of the water," Lewis said.
Navarro has previously had trouble with the law, Burris said. He has a prior conviction from 2017 for placing a tracking device on his ex-wife's car.
"There is a history of this stalking... pattern of tracking not just one woman but two," Burris said. "And it's escalated."
San Francisco Superior Court Judge Suzanne Bolanos ordered Navarro back into custody for being a threat to public safety, himself and to Tesoriero. She also ordered him to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.
Navarro is facing charges of stalking, making terroristic threats, violating a restraining order and dissuading a witness.
He is due back in court next month.

Dang. Stephen Hung is indeed dodgy. Ex Merrill Lynch which is owned by the private company bank of America which is Ken Lewis who pocketed billions during the housing collapse. He landed on his ass.
Mr. Hung, however, has peculiar tastes. He owns a casino in Macau. I know this photo has been on the board in the last few weeks.
