editWhy is this repeated in the article? It reads like a non-sequitar. Also, it has nothing to do with Silver Thursday and the Hunt brothers trying to corner a major cornerstone of the precious metals market? Fephisto (talk) 01:59, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

Not done. First, this is not a reliable source, but more importantly, this is of questionable relevance to the article anywhere, let alone as the first section. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 04:54, 9 May 2026 (UTC)
