Now wouldn’t surprise me if he ran for President. And people elect him. 🙂
And wouldn’t it be something if it turned out he really Hated America and is a devout Muslim to boot?
Course, that could never happen in the real world.

And who the hell is this Tyler Durden? And what does he know that we don’t know? I found this…..
“Tyler Durden is a reference to the lead character in Fight Club. It’s the pseudonym for Zero Hedge’s key author(s) used to hide their identities.”
How can we research the guys education? What he says just sounds like entertainment to me. When we started slowing in ’75 all the commodity need and usage rotated over to Japan Korea and China et al after ’75.
When they all started slowing, after 2008, (like us in ’75)the production and commodity need and usage will probably rotate back to the USA. Besides that, in general, …Low prices rotate to up, and high prices rotate to down.
Sounds sorta disgusting at first blush, but after thinking about it, probably beats having to use a tree. Went to an Atlanta Braves game a few weeks back an there was a line to get into the Men’s bathroom. Now at my age I am finding out that when the message comes across ” I Gotta Go”, it is more of a warning notice than a suggestion. Being able to visit the Ladies Bathroom might not be such bad idea in times of ‘distress’. What I probably would not go for is the Women using the Men’s Bathroom. I cant imagine having to stand behind some woman waiting to wash my hands while she puts on her make up and stares into the mirror.

sounds to me like the Chinese are as creative with their accounting numbers as our Government. I wonder, cause I don’t know, if you took the Government Spending out of our GDP numbers if we would show any positive GDP numbers for the past several years ?
And if our banks had to mark assets to market, instead of fantasy, would any of the big banks be solvent?
I guess that is what bugs me about all this charting stuff. Like some ole geezer named Ment once asked, ” Whose numbers?” Well, I think he said something like that once. It is all an illusion if you ask me. Except, I can still count with fingers and toes how many ounces. Don’t have a clue what those ounces are valued at, but it sure aint what the paper pushers are saying.
And thinking, maybe Silverngold has done a better job of reading his Bible lately, cause it sure looks like he has an inside shot with The Boss. His numbers for the lows are nearly there today.
Now that is a something to ponder. Make fun of the Bible, but believe in the Government numbers ? Think I will go with the ole book. Best I can tell, aint no lies in it.
If people thought that way about their senators and some of the governors, don’t care who it is just not them,” we could maybe start ending the other problem, they who count the votes. I feel the same way. Here we have people who don’t like Bown’s track record. Companies leaving, over crowded prisons many with illegals, higher taxes he calls temporary while giving himself and friends raises, letting gay men ” if they are ” use women’s bathrooms, condoning illegals and inviting them here by giving the drivers licenses and claiming to expedite birder crossings. ” California is so underpopulated you know it only takes two hours to go few miles in LA we need more people even if there is no jobs for them.” Not Then say the alternative they don’t like even those they would try to undo the damage for what ever reason. Were doomed.
Chinese Commodity Crash Continues, But Pigs Are Flying

When it comes to keeping track of China’s economy, one can listen, and ignore, the official goalseeked and made-up-on-the-fly data released by the government, or one can simply observe the price dynamics of the all-important Chinese commodities sector (because with fixed investment accounting for well over 50% of GDP, the marginal price of the commodities that are used in capital investment tell us all we need to know about the true state of the Chinese economy). It is here where we find that contrary to the recent performance of the Shanghai Composite, which has been trading exclusively on the coattails of the most recent unofficial QE by the PBOC, commodity prices in China are actually crashing across the board, which in turn suggest that the real GDP is most likely anywhere between 20% and 60%, if not more, below the “official” 7.5% GDP print.
Here are the charts, alongside some commentary from Bank of America:
Last week, Qinhuangdao (QHD) 5,500k thermal coal price was at RMB480/t, unchanged from the week prior. QHD coal inventory decreased to 5.6mt, down 0.5% wow.

bear like growl I say, What’s Love Got To Do With It.
Here, I will let ‘Legs Turner ‘  sing it to you. 🙂
but I get really tired of righteous fanatics that think they know the only way into the big house in the sky. A special place for friends and club members only. plueeease
I’m NOW DOCUMENTED. Like Thomas Jefferson. I said it first. 🙂
Silverngold is spoofing with you. That’s why he mentioned the Bible as justification for his price targets. For Pete’s sake… lighten up a bit.
I think what we are seeing today is  the Central Banks  trading in the US futures market  transferring money from the many to the few.

There ya go. Another sign of reversal of the old world order. Now, finally, even Henry Kissinger sees, or admits what I saw back in 2000 and 2001 when little George had to put a tariff on imported steel and lumber until the lower dollar started helping with higher prices.
so you see in the bible price targets for gold and silver then when asked to clarify we get… “none so blind that cannot see.”
Well then point out the see that we can not see…
and an aside you posted that none should show charts … yes….. why give the opposing team the playbook for the next play ..
so the low in gold is 1260.. silver 18.90 on good authority ..and you use the bible to back up your reasons ..
or perhaps you have a chart.. lol
so one again … point out the “see that we can not see ”
Sounds like some judgmental shite if I’ve ever heard it. keep the course steady. I’m not here to convert anyone. Live and let live
Libya is in civil war, fundamentalist armies are building a self-declared caliphate across Syria and Iraq and Afghanistan’s young democracy is on the verge of paralysis. To these troubles are added a resurgence of tensions with Russia and a relationship with China divided between pledges of cooperation and public recrimination. The concept of order that has underpinned the modern era is in crisis.
The search for world order has long been defined almost exclusively by the concepts of Western societies. In the decades following World War II, the U.S.—strengthened in its economy and national confidence—began to take up the torch of international leadership and added a new dimension. A nation founded explicitly on an idea of free and representative governance, the U.S. identified its own rise with the spread of liberty and democracy and credited these forces with an ability to achieve just and lasting peace. The traditional European approach to order had viewed peoples and states as inherently competitive; to constrain the effects of their clashing ambitions, it relied on a balance of power and a concert of enlightened statesmen. The prevalent American view considered people inherently reasonable and inclined toward peaceful compromise and common sense; the spread of democracy was therefore the overarching goal for international order. Free markets would uplift individuals, enrich societies and substitute economic interdependence for traditional international rivalries. Read more at WSJ
stop wasting energy trying to make the next right prediction. Chart it all you want.
H. L. Mencken: “Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable.”
the Bible .. will tell us the low…and then will it replace Edwards and Magee as the go to day trading book.
as an aside for information .. where does this gold and silver price show up. In the text of the bible .. besides some esoteric jumbling of numbers as a code that only a day trader could love lol

“BEIJING—A growing number of foreign businesses in China feel shut out under new government policies promoting homegrown technology, according a survey released Monday.
Fully 38 percent of foreign firms questioned by the American Chamber of Commerce say they feel increasingly unwelcome to participate and compete in the Chinese market.
That marks a 12 percentage point rise from the last survey taken just a few months before. Over that period, the government has increasingly steered business toward state-owned companies, ostensibly as part of efforts to boost innovation among Chinese firms.
The chamber said it strongly supports promoting indigenous innovation, but believes current policies give an unfair advantage to domestic companies that enjoy strong government backing and political connections.”
Comment:
Everything was fine before the ’08 meltdown. As the ship sinks its a struggle for survival, of the fittest. Every man for himself. China et al all were very happy while the USA was the import job loss sucker that was done to help China et al grow starting in ’79. Japan and Europe were the benefactor after 1945. The USA was gang banged by many countries. Its all reversing very slow.
“I would suggest we are all very fortunate to witness these natural moments in relative peace and freedom….I would suggest there are many souls ….heads down and dreaming of such a simple wonderful pleasure…”
Very well said, an attitude of gratitude. Even though the US is being systematically destroyed and robbed by D.C. and Wall Street, it would certainly be a lot worse to wake up every day in Iraq, Syria, Gaza or almost anywhere in the M.E. or North Africa, wondering if you’ll have food and water or if some group of fanatics is going to show and burn your house down or behead a loved one.
It’s too damn bad we couldn’t have just left the rest of the world alone.
So how goes your healing process ? You ready to dance the night away with me yet?
