Took the computer illiterate me a while to get here. thanks

Sad to find that people I though were like minded could turn so easily when they thought they could use the rest of us for their own self interest. Sad indeed.

Yes, same old with the crooks. They are trying to make it seem that all of yesterdays’ problems have gone away, but they haven’t. I’m looking for a nice recovery for us good guys today. Maybe I’m just being overly optimistic, it is OpEx today for indexes.

I read somewhere that during WWII the Germans and Japanese also manipulated their markets to make it seem to their people that everything was alright.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

CNBS flashing the wheat price across the top of the screen, that’s a first. I guess there is some concern about the Ukraine’s wheat crops, which I understand are down heavily.

Please don’t forget the BOLO for Frostbite, LOL.  Hey, new start for everybody.

On the tomatoes…well congrats!  Wondering if you recall our conversations regarding the latest field research for tomatoes in your area. I had you placed in Oregon, I believe. However, the Washington State research seems to have worked out for you…Enjoy!

Indonesia resumes metal concentrate exports after 6-month halt

By Wilda Asmarini

JAKARTA, July 18 (Reuters) – Indonesia has resumed exports of metal ore concentrates, a mining ministry official said, ending a six-month stoppage resulting from a new policy to improve returns on resources shipped out of southeast Asia’s largest economy.

Indonesia in January banned unprocessed ore exports and levied an escalating tax on metal concentrate exports as part of the policy to force miners to build smelters and process minerals domestically.

Disputes and confusion over the rules halted about $500 million of monthly mineral ore and concentrate exports. Prior to the ban, Indonesia was the world’s top exporter of nickel ore and a major supplier of iron ore and bauxite.

However, last week shipments of iron ore, lead and zinc concentrate left the country after two firms agreed to pay a 20 percent export tax, coal and minerals director-general Sukhyar told reporters late on Friday.

“There are two firms that have started to export; Sebuku Iron Lateritic Ores (SILO), and Lumbung Mineral Sentosa,” Sukhyar said, adding that SILO had sent two shipments or around 100,000 tonnes of iron ore concentrate and Lumbung had shipped around 8,000 tonnes of lead and zinc concentrate already.

“They finally wanted to pay it,” Sukhyar said, referring to the escalating tax that has been rejected by U.S. miners Newmont Mining Corp and Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc , and is now the subject of a contract dispute awaiting international arbitration.

Welcome to the Oasis!

I guess I am in.   I thought something was up when there was no tentathon for this year at the other site.   Perhaps someday I will find out what happened.  This site seems well done.

That sure is peaceful country-have a safe and good journey!

Sad to hear about the reason for need to change. It brings to mind the bigger picture where it seems we all need to opt out of the status quo and start something else to be able to stick together. Thanks to all concerned for taking the initiative.

Thanks for the chart. I think it’s going to be a good rest of the year for the Goldbugs. In spite of the paper pushing banksters.

Don’t let Wanka fool you. He had to re-edit my edit! 🙂

Can’t compete with Nemo’s spread but here’s your coffee as requested.

Tip of the hat to Wanka, Ipso and Florida. That E-Mail explaination from Wanka Was constrained, informative and wonderfully constructed.

This one aint as good as yours, but I guess it will do for now.

Faithful indeed. Now we have to do something about this ” I don’t post…”  (grin)

Welcome to your New Home.  Proud to have you at the Oasis !

Best, Farmboy
