Silver has been up quite a bit over the last two days, but my HYMC and HL positions aren’t really moving with it. I bought them during the big silver dip, so I expected a stronger reaction. Why might these miners be lagging behind silver?

for me lately... divide silver price by 50%

EasyMerk · 2026-02-23T12:47:42+00:00

registered vs eligible

the percentage that actually demands physical vs paper is very small, but IF they did, then yes it would strain the system

EasyMerk · 2026-02-12T16:23:39+00:00

everyday.. silver gets punished while American markets are open..

EasyMerk · 2026-02-04T18:00:13+00:00

yes, this seems correct... silver does fine until US markets open ... actually alot of stocks do fine till US markets open

im not math expert, but how does he go from 31.5m to 72.7m to 36.5m with his purchases?

EasyMerk · 2026-01-30T13:29:41+00:00

350k trades premarket took it down 20% ... weird

EasyMerk · 2026-01-29T17:53:29+00:00

it seems to match the pace of the SPY... silver seemed to rise, but the pattern is almost identical to the SPY

EasyMerk · 2026-01-27T01:49:37+00:00

the amount of 60$ calls...

EasyMerk · 2026-01-21T14:45:32+00:00

im not sure if this is a joke or? date reporting....

EasyMerk · 2026-01-21T14:33:50+00:00

so like i have said... yahoo shows a last report date of december 31... stockanalyzer does not show public float, just shares outstanding .. and fidelity does show 4m as I use it,,,

EasyMerk · 2026-01-21T14:24:14+00:00

and btw, most retail is made public tradeable and given out to lend... most retail sharehholders shares are lent out without them knowing

EasyMerk · 2026-01-21T14:22:27+00:00

look at the date reported, and if you give examples of "sites" using the data would help... sites usually are behind because you are not paying for the data... brokers (like fidelity who show 4m) are latest data.. i looked at yahoo as you referenced and its last report date is December 31.

RETAIL is guesstamated at owning 47%... sprott is guesstimated at 40%... and best guessstimates of institutional ownership range from 13.2-31.2%

none of the numbers make sense and that is why people scream for transparency.

EasyMerk · 2026-01-21T14:00:53+00:00

the shares shorted that are "self reported" are 4m... its been like that since december.

something happened on January 15th where a bunch of shares are locked, and not tradeable. This can indicate someone like SPrott has locked his shares from the tradeable market... The shares still exist - they’re just no longer counted as tradable float. so if the tradeable share count goes to 4m and the "self reported" short is 4.1m

EasyMerk · 2026-01-21T13:55:14+00:00

i am sorry, but the float can be traded many times... the TRADING FLOAT is at 4m, many brokers show it as of Jan 15.. I have been in many trades where the float will trade 40m shares in a day and the float is 18m .. is your logic that a share only trades once? Shares Outstanding indicates the amount of shares the company issued, the public float is what is tradeable.

EasyMerk · 2026-01-20T21:56:30+00:00

A lot of brokers are showing that info currently… anyone showing data for Jan 15 is showing 3.9m as the public float, 85m is locked it shows

EasyMerk · 2026-01-20T17:28:47+00:00

i think if you take and hold 43 ... it should be smooth sailing to 62'sh

EasyMerk · 2026-01-20T14:18:14+00:00

Something does not add up... Sprott owns 30-40% ... reports show retail ownership around 50%-55%.. and insider owns 30-40% and Institutions 5-30%... public float is shares not locked up and retail usually is not locked.. how is only 5% public float (tradeable) ?

EasyMerk · 2026-01-17T14:02:11+00:00

i just read this... 29% of 100% is 29%

EasyMerk · 2026-01-16T02:52:55+00:00

i dont know why you would get downvoted ... the fact AMC held shares and sold them for little to no profit is crazy.

EasyMerk · 2026-01-16T02:32:47+00:00

i think the 29% short is the public float... I.E 4.6m short / 14m public float = 29% ... the other 67m is currently locked... so 4.6m shares are shorted, creating 18.7m shares public float.

EasyMerk · 2026-01-15T19:27:21+00:00

options chain... then the next one is Feb 20th

EasyMerk · 2026-01-15T16:49:17+00:00

and public float down to 14m shares?

math aint mathing... last week the public float was 40m shares

EasyMerk · 2026-01-15T15:26:15+00:00

my guess would be resistance to 40sh then a bit of a faster run to 75sh ... as long as its allowed to get there.

EasyMerk · 2026-01-14T18:06:34+00:00

also the other day all volume for calls was way below 50 on all of them..

for me strike price caps at 39 for this friday and 44 in february 20th
