Global gold and silver dealer liquidates in Chapter 11 bankruptcy
The Street ^ | July 4, 2026 | Kirk O’Neil

Posted on 07/07/2026 2:12:27 PM PDT by chud

Precious metals investors saw their holdings skyrocket in value in 2024 and 2025, which was great news for them, but bad news for some dealers, such as Rosland Capital LLC.

Rosland Capital filed for a Chapter 11 liquidation facing distress from declining profitability compounded by an unsustainable order fulfillment model amid record precious metals prices.

“Did they hold orders and get caught buying more expensive metal to fill them?”

essentially, yes .... that wasn’t their intent, but they failed to hedge in the futures market, and that’s exactly what ended up happening to them ...

I think they are both UNDERvalued and I think Trump may reprice gold (at least) since he wants to back the dollar with it. Should be interesting to see how it all shakes out.

The ratio will level out between the 2 but they both will go up

I saw that posted when silver was over $100.

It is much more likely that they were selling paper metals and when people demanded they send the physical, they didn’t have enough.

“The recent huge drops in spot have stuck them with gold and silver inventory worth substantially less than they paid for it. “

They were paying more to fill orders that were struck at a lower price.

They had no inventory. The have no inventory.

“They were paying more to fill orders that were struck at a lower price.”

I can’t say you are wrong because I’m not there, but I find that illogical given the downward spiral. I’m confused. (But that’s not rare either)

“I can’t say you are wrong because I’m not there, but I find that illogical given the downward spiral.”

It happened on the upward rise. They had money to cover till they ran out of money.

It is in the court filings.

“ I have heard that they sold gold at a very high markup.”

They were among the companies that took advantage of the elderly and uninformed by advertising in magazines like Readers Digest and needed to go out of business. They were bo better than the scam call centers in India.

I don’t know if you’re in silver but it languished in the low $20’s for the last 15 years prior to this year. I’ve owned it since 2011. So I’ll take $60

I don’t have much silver. Mostly stocks. After I retired in 2011 I converted my 401k to an IRA and went 100% ETN in that IRA.

I’m mostly in stocks too. Don’t own any gold but do own a big chunk of a gold mine and physical silver. Patience is the name of the game in practically every aspect of life so I’m hanging in on all of it :)

That’s my humble opinion. I could be very wrong.

*********************

You aren’t wrong. Both metals peaked and are headed lower.

The smart sellers have already sold and the hoarders will just sit on their current inventory.

Until another event/signal in either market happens, not much will happen on upward pricing this year.
