I think the probability of a "blockade" being successful are minimal and might actually result in the sinking of all ships above water in the blockade - and then let it be a war underwater I reckon - but a blockade is destined to fail seems evident - and pay your tolls for Christ's sake - cause passage is not free.
All you need to know re the "blockade" (and what a fiasco it is) via 22min podcast by former US naval intelligence officer Malcolm Nance: 'Which moron in the White House came up with this blockade idea?'
What about buying 1oz gold bars through Costco, right at the warehouse? No thievery there, unless the purchaser is followed out to his/her car and robbed! But, the online purchases are delivered by — yes, FedEx, and tracked through one's Costco account. I believe Costco offers some sort of protection to guard against tampering with the goods before they reach the customer.
Wouldn't it make more sense to just hang in our neighborhood and beat the shit

These charts are just some stuff I picked up during the week and I think it's interesting.
As always, many interesting graphs/charts. Some of my favs:
Silver-gold ratio breaking out of a 15-year expanding falling wedge
Silver outperformance ahead? *** That’s how I’m betting… for now.
Gold/Platinum
Consumer sentiment all-time low
Cumulative inflation since Nov 2019 *** Isn't auto ins. one of the biggest RIP OFFS! 🤬
Japan 10Y *** I’ve been following for a while.
Oil's 50-year trendline chart
Mag7 concentration peak is beginning to ease *** Nothing lasts forever.
Single-stock volatility vs SPX divergence *** Ominous - look out !
My top one, and s/be of interest to PM & general stock investors is:
SPX/Silver ratio

Let's hurry up and watch it, they're taking it down so quickly – now is 404
Works fine here?

Another chart to watch, the 10-year treasury yield. If it breaks above 5%, Trump is finished.
And the upshot for us retail, small investors is...load up in Au/Ag ETFs? Our financial advisor isn't quite convinced.
I'm not convinced either. More background on how I see etfs:

Definitely an option if they still have those bars and you're US based.
Consumer confidence at post-Korean-war lows eh?
$US rolling over to Au as global reserve...
So basically now the biggest US's creditor after Japan are the Cayman's tax evaders? This looks pretty much the plan to me.
And also, who will be the first in the chain to break, Japan or Turkey?
