The Gold & Silver Morning Smackdown Is Back
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/15/2014 08:24 -0400
Despite NATO’s warnings of Russian escalation in Ukraine, 8amET was a far bigger catalyst for precious metals this morning as the once ubiquitous morning meltdown is back. With gold relatively flat and Treasury yields down 10bps after a 60 point S&P surge, maybe this is catch-down but the heavy-volume plunge in Gold and Silver is notable in that USDJPY appeared to jerk higher at the same time.

This is sickening. Get ready to buy more “car parts” folks. The queen still owns us. I’d be happy to see her whole empire in flames

Hey pardner. That is perfect either way for this year or next and what a bargoon of $109 for next years costs.
Thanks again for all your hard work and diligence and also to all the admins and webmaster for
bringing the oasis to fruition.
As far as what’s his face is concerned, I tell ya that one just loves to create a tempest in a lily pad.
No worries, I got it covered. He’ll run out of stamina before I ever will. Witches have more lives that a cat 🙂

Sorry for the delay – I left after posting and just now read your post.
Hugo Chavez (Venezuela) was the third.
Of course he got lucky and died of natural causes….

Nice start, horrible close on way bigger volume than yesterday. I think it is is one of the most undervalued miners out there. It’s as if someone wants to keep it low for a cheap buyout. I’m a Rambus member and decided to hedge with 500 shares of Dust(Rambus didn’t reco Dust but he didn’t like how the big boys were behaving). I won’t sell the Midway shares. Tomorrow is op ex for stocks so maybe why we were down. My shares closed $2700 down from the high today in Midway. SLW, RGLD and FNV had big drops today which makes me nervous.

Putin Punks West (Again): Russian Troops Enter Ukraine, Guardian Reports
Tyler Durden’s pictureSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/14/2014 17:39 -0400
As Russia’s 300-strong ‘humanitarian’ convoy of white trucks slithered towards the Ukraine border, it appears, according to The Guardian, that, in spite of the market’s exuberance at this morning’s comments of “avoiding conflict,” Vladimir Putin sent a real ‘green’ military Russian convoy across the Ukraine border late Thursday evening.

Perhaps sometimes, but never during football season. I bet he even grows a tail about this time of the year. And bigger teeth. Oh my, he must be related to the one whose name we dare not speak.

Wanna do another crude oil wager? Take a look at the WTI monthly chart first. It may be a long way down!

All you had to do is ‘hold’ those 4 until Sunday. That’s what Floridagold would have done. 🙂
