Beware Comex Silver and a Force Majeure

Not sure if you are aware but it looks like there is a great possibility that the Comex will not be able to deliver all the contracts that stand for delivery in March. 

 

If this occurs it could cause a force majeure situation in the silver market. And if that occurs this is what could happen. Here is the question and the answer that I posed to Google AI.

Question:

At this present time there are many more silver contracts on the COMEX that stand for delivery in March than the supply of silver at the COMEX. Will this cause a force majeure and if that occurs what would the implications be?

Answer:

As of February 11, 2026, the COMEX silver market is facing a severe supply-to-demand imbalance. Currently, open interest for the March 2026 contract stands at approximately 429–528 million ounces, while registered inventory (silver immediately available for delivery) has plummeted to roughly 103–113 million ounces. 

If even 25% of current contract holders stand for physical delivery, the COMEX would lack sufficient metal to fulfill its obligations, potentially triggering a Force Majeure or an "Exchange Emergency"

Will a Force Majeure occur?

While a mathematical default is possible, COMEX typically employs "emergency measures" to prevent a total collapse. Under CME Rule 701 (Declarations of Force Majeure) and Rule 580, the exchange has the authority to: 

• Force Cash Settlement: Instead of delivering physical bars, the exchange can mandate that contracts be settled in cash at a "fair price" determined by the board.
• Raise Margins: Drastic increases in margin requirements are often used to force "longs" to liquidate their positions before the February 27, 2026, First Notice Day.
• Halt Trading: The exchange may suspend trading to prevent further depletion of registered stocks. 

Implications of a Force Majeure

If a Force Majeure is declared, it would signal a structural breakdown in the global silver pricing mechanism. 

• Physical Decoupling: The "paper" price on the COMEX may become meaningless or frozen, while the "physical" price for actual metal in London or Shanghai could explode to $200+ per ounce as industrial users scramble for supply.
• ETF Disruption: Major silver ETFs like SLV could break their pegs to the spot price, as they may be unable to source the physical bars required for new share creation.
• Industrial Panic: Manufacturers (solar, EV, electronics) who rely on just-in-time delivery may face production line closures if they cannot source physical metal outside the broken exchange system.
• Mining Sector Surge: Shares of silver mining companies typically gap significantly higher (potentially 200-500%) as they become the only reliable source of new physical supply.
• Systemic Risk: Analysts warn that a failure at the COMEX could destroy the credibility of the entire credit-based pricing system for precious metals, potentially spreading to the gold and broader financial markets.

Signs in the Stars: What's the 1/18/2026 Planetary Gathering Portending?

 

That is an interesting combination of celestial bodies on the night of 1/18/2026. I do not think I have ever seen a grouping like that before. Could it be a sign?

 

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: Gen 1:14

 

So, what do you think, is the celestial configuration of the Sun, New Moon, Venus, Mercury, and Mars on 1/18/2026 a sign? If so, what could it be a sign of? A sign of a financial event? A sign of war and or Seal 2? I heard in the past that the preferred time for war is usually near the new moon. 

Speaking of the moon, do you remember the moon child?

 

(06/14/1946) Aleister Crowley to Grady McMurtry

 

Thrice Illuminated, Thrice Illustrious and

Very Dear Brother,

 

Do what thou wilt shall be the while of the Law.

 

I was delighted to have your letter of the 12th of May. I have not been able to answer it till now. My eyes are really so bad that I have had to get someone to read out your letter to me and I am afraid her time being very limited I have had to postpone the reading of your Poem until my new glasses come. At the best.

 

It is not good talking about Frater 210 coming over. He has got under the influence of a person whom I believe to be an ordinary Con Man; at any rate he is acting quite insanely, and as far as I can see, both deceitfully and dishonourably. I am still waiting to hear whether the adverb “dishonestly” should not be added to this list. In any case he would not come, because, — O curse these people who have no ideas of their own and can do nothing but pick up my ideas and try to put them into operation without in the least understanding them or knowing how to bring them to success! — apparently he, or Ron or somebody, is producing a Moon Child.

 

Thus since the peace treaty with the many was signed on 10/13/2025, and we are awaiting the opening of some of the seals of Revelation, and the moon child can be inferred to be the coming antichrist, I wonder if we could see an event on the day of, or following the gathering of the celestial bodies on 1/18/2026, that the antichrist himself will be involved in? 

Did you take note that, just by coincidence, the date of the Crowley letter was June 14, 1946? Did you know that Donald trump was born on June 14, 1946, which was also the day of a blood moon eclipse? 

I know that was a coincidence but ponder these pics and note that in the 1/18/2026 celestial gathering we have Capricorn--the goat beast that arises out of the sea--Mercury, and the moon. BTW, some mirrors have use mercury to make the reflection. (Note: I am not inferring that Trump is the moon child, just showing you some data points.)

 

 

The Syncs of 3/14/2025; Is There a Bad Moon Arising? 

In considering this possible sign, are there any things that might be happening around 1/18/2026? 

There is a lot of chatter going around that things are getting ready to ramp up on the war front—Iran, Greenland, Mexico, Ukraine, Russia…The war drums are beating louder every day. 

Then on the financial front there is the unraveling of the debt based economies of the world, which is reflected in the price of precious metals, of which silver is just waiting for a force majeure that could send it to the moon. 

And of course there is the all-important World Economic Forum in Davos scheduled for 1/19-23/2026, where all the big players are gathering together to ‘guide’ the economies of the world. 

This happens right after all the luminaries gather together on 1/18/2026. I kind of doubt anything big will happen during the conference, maybe before, more likely after, but you never know. What do you think, is this a sign?

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

The best end times song ever; Yo, What You Gonna Do Man by Peace Light. 

 

Triple to Quadruple Digit Silver Coming! This is One of the Best Videos I have Ever Watched!

  

Triple to Quadruple silver coming, that is what several analysts are saying. Here is one of the best videos I have ever heard on the subject.

And then we have this news.

In this video, we break down an alleged *Citigroup emergency board mandate* that could reshape the entire silver market in a matter of days. According to the script, an encrypted leak reveals *73 pages of official board minutes* from a four-hour, unscheduled Citigroup Board of Directors meeting held on **January 8, 2026**—and the agenda had one topic: **Citigroup’s silver short exposure**.  

The claim is explosive: Citigroup’s board issues a **mandatory liquidation order**—not guidance, not a recommendation—an actual directive to **exit all silver short positions by February 1, 2026**. That’s a 23-day countdown. And inside those minutes, a risk-model estimate is cited: the projected equilibrium price after forced liquidation is **$267 per ounce**.

 

Lynette Zang says that she has calculated the true value of gold at $40,000 and silver at $2000. She also says that things eventually return to their true value. I am trying to help you. IMHO, all that is happening in the precious metals is another indication that we are in the last 7 years and Seal one has been opened. 

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

The Silver Wave; Ride it or be Wiped Out! Updated 1/2/2026

 

The video below is one of the best videos I have ever heard. The image above is my prediction; the silver to gold ratio in money in the USA was historically 20 to 1--$20 gold piece to a silver dollar—20 to 1. So, with gold at $4500 silver should be at $225. I believe the reason silver has not traded at its traditional 20 to 1 ratio is because it has been artificially suppressed with paper shorts but as explained in the video the paper suppression scheme is breaking and the silver price is breaking free. BTW, the price suppression scheme started to break on what they are calling the 'Monday Massacre' which followed the sun going through the golden gate flanked by Mars, Venus, Mercury and the Moon.

 

 

Here is a nice song from back in the day that has some fitting lyrics.

...Sail on silvergirl,

Sail on by.

Your time has come to shine.

All your dreams are on their way.

See how they shine...

Update: Hal Turner is reporting that silver is selling for over $90 in China on 12/27/2025

Update 1/2/2026. I asked Google AI the following question and it responded with the answer that follows.

If a force majeure occurs in the silver market next week what would be your best calculation of the price?

As of January 2, 2026, the silver market is already experiencing extreme structural instability. Calculating a price for a 

force majeure event next week requires accounting for the current "two-tier" market, where paper prices and physical reality have already begun to decouple. 

Current Market Context (January 2026)

• Paper Spot Price: Roughly $71.50 – $73.00/oz on the COMEX, following a retreat from a record high of $86.62 on December 29, 2025.
• Physical Spot Price: Currently as high as $130/oz in global hubs like Tokyo and Dubai, representing an unprecedented 80% premium over paper prices.
• Immediate Catalyst: China implemented strict new silver export licensing on January 1, 2026, effectively "ring-fencing" 65-70% of the world's physical supply. 

Projected Prices if Force Majeure is Declared 

A force majeure declaration (an official admission by an exchange that it cannot fulfill physical delivery) would likely lead to an immediate "physicalization" event where paper claims collapse and prices gap up to match physical scarcity. 

1. Immediate Spike (Overnight): $130 - $150/oz
   Experts suggest the paper price would likely "gap up" instantly to align with the current physical reality of $130/oz. If the exchange fails to deliver, panic buying from industrial sectors (AI, solar, EVs) could push this to $150/oz nearly overnight.
2. Short-Term Target (Within 1 Week): $180 - $200/oz
   Historical precedent shows that during massive squeezes, silver outperforms gold by 2-3x. With gold currently targeting $5,000/oz, a force majeure event could force the gold-to-silver ratio down to historic lows (30:1 or 25:1), mathematically supporting a silver price of $160 to over $200/oz.
3. Conservative "Settlement" Price: $110/oz
   Major banks like Citigroup have already revised their 2026 targets to $110/oz based on structural deficits. In a force majeure scenario, exchanges might attempt to settle contracts in "cash only" at a premium, likely centering around this institutional fair-value mark. 

Risk Factors to Your Calculation

• CME Margin Hikes: The exchange has already begun "weaponizing" margin requirements (e.g., $25k hikes) to force liquidations and protect short bullion banks, which can cause temporary flash crashes even as physical demand rises.
• Index Rebalancing: The Bloomberg Commodity Index rebalancing (Jan 8–14) is expected to trigger roughly $3.8 billion in silver selling, which could provide a brief, artificial "dip" before a force majeure spike. 

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36
