I doubt those ships had a “crew of 600”  – I assume that is a typo

As a matter of fact, about half the articles I post are directly about PMs. As for the rest, you will just have to put up with them, because unless the censers of this site delete me, I intend to keep posting. I always felt that either the whole world was going crazy or it was me that was crazy. Thanks for clearing that up for me!

Oil getting pounded, SM getting a little spanking, pm’s are holding their own – shares especially.

I hope Turd Ferguson hits this out of the park.

Marine Le Pen’s National Front leads in first round of French regional elections – exit poll

There is one way …..Issue US TREASURY currency notes direct from Treasury and by pass Fed Reserve, pay interest with Treasury notes instead of Fed Reserve notes  ..Let them circulate side by side  and watch bad  money drive good money  out of circulation and make good money convertible  into gold , silver or some national asset like government Land !   Then the question becomes  WHO holds the good money !

The new Argentinian government is promising to end a series of capital controls that have been propping up the peso – a move that would benefit mining.

Reuters reported on Sunday that president-elect Mauricio Macri will lift the clamp-down on dollar purchases by out-going president Cristina Fernández, as early as December 14.

Fernández restricted imports and repatriated export revenue since she was re-elected in 2011. She also created currency controls that hurt firms such as Chevron Corp, Petronas and Total, and led Brazil’s Vale (NYSE:VALE) to cancel its $6bn Río Colorado potash project in the country.

During the election the country’s mining chamber estimated there are at least $5 billion worth of mining projects waiting for a more supportive government to go ahead with plans.

Most of the projects hoping for a mining-friendly new president are, according to the Argentine Mining Chamber, copper-focused ventures.

One of the most touted is Glencore’s (LON:GLEN) plans to invest about $3 billion over three years at El Pachón, located in San Juan province.

Yamana Gold’s (TSX:YRI)(NYSE:AUY) Cerro Moro, a gold and silver mine in Santa Cruz province, would be another project to benefit if October’s presidential elections herald an easing of capital restrictions, the chamber of mines said during the election.

The Canadian miner has promised to invest $398 million in the venture, but construction won’t start unless federal regulations are changed including currency controls and repatriation of export revenue, a provincial mining department official told País Minero (in Spanish).

Then, there’s Goldcorp’s (TSX:G) (NYSE:GG) Cerro Negro, which began commercial output in January and is targeting production of 425,000 to 475,000 ounces this year.

And the Chubut province is considering reopening talks with Pan American Silver (TSE:PAA) with the goal of resuming development of its Navidad silver project.

According to Buenos Aires-based Quevedo Law Firm Principal, Ignacio Celorrio, the country’s recovering mining industry could generate exports worth more than US$14 billion within five years, as Argentina emerges from several years of declining resource deals and sales.

Argentina: End of currency controls will be good for mining

You know this. But you may not be fully aware of the urgency or the full implications:

At this very moment, the Islamic State is moving forward rapidly to expand its worldwide reach, with untold consequences for Americans, global trade, financial markets and investors everywhere.

The Islamic State has declared “provinces” in ten nations, including four that are among the top ten oil-reserve countries of the world — Saudi Arabia with 268 billion barrels of proven reserves, Iraq (140 billion barrels), Libya (48 billion), and Nigeria (37 billion).

It boasts over 40 affiliates in countries that encompass most of the world’s population outside China and most of the world’s wealth outside the United States.

It has mounted or inspired deadly terrorist attacks on every continent except Antarctica — in Algeria, Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, Denmark, Egypt, France, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Turkey and more — many of which are home countries of high-net-worth investors.

but I think if we don’t break down too hard today, we might have a chance at some strength as the day progresses.

You know me, always the optimist. 🙂

Venezuela’s opposition trounced the ruling Socialists on Sunday to win the legislature for the first time in 16 years and gain a long-sought platform to challenge President Nicolas Maduro’s rule of the OPEC nation.

The opposition Democratic Unity coalition won 99 seats to the Socialists’ 46 in the 167-national National Assembly, the election board said, with some districts still to be counted.

Fireworks were set off in celebration in pro-opposition districts of Caracas when the results were announced, while government supporters dismantled planned victory parties.

Mr Maduro, 53, quickly acknowledged the defeat, the worst for the ruling “Chavismo” movement since its founder Hugo Chavez took power in 1999.

“We are here, with morals and ethics, to recognise these adverse results,” Mr Maduro said in a speech to the nation, although he blamed his defeat on a campaign by business leaders and other opponents to sabotage the economy.

“The economic war has triumphed today,” Mr Maduro said.

does anyone notice a little nip in the air?

RE: “the dummy.” Most likely a dummy. Not certainly.

Who knows where and when that video was taken? Could have been Milwaukee in 1999.

at some point and time people need to use their brains, think, use deduction and rationalization. Someone needs to use wisdom here. I’m not losing sleep over it. I can find conspiracy shite anywhere, please don’t clog bandwidth. If the information isn’t useful and and has no trade value, what’s it good for? I give up

You’re another one of these great posters. You believe in a bunch of great stuff. This site was founded upon trading and learning how to make money doing it in the precious metals sector. You confuse fact with fiction too much. So you go into the discard pile as well, poster trash. Use your brain to think critically. Some people should be rounded up and put into mental institutions. Love and respect. ..haha. eeos
