Interesting. I’d heard of the “Needle Park” in Switzerland previously but not of what happened to it. What a friggin disaster!

“an upward bias”

I can live with that.

Yeah I guess if the Yen’s increasing in value against the dollar it’s not so good for all the speculators who have borrowed yen to invest in dollar denominated investments.

a little history

The Platzspitz park is a park in Zurich, located next to the Swiss National Museum.

History of the park goes back to the Middle Ages. Positioned between the Sihl and Limmat rivers, it was originally used as a hunting and shooting ground in the 14th century, and by the end of the 18th century the park was also adorned with beautiful Baroque architecture.^[1]

During the 1980s, heroin addicts would frequently gather at the park, and attempts to disperse them merely resulted in them regrouping elsewhere. Thus in 1987 the authorities chose to allow illegal drug use and sales at the park, in an effort to contain Zurich’s growing drug problem. Police were not allowed to enter the park or make arrests. Clean needles were given out to addicts as part of the Zurich Intervention Pilot Project, or ZIPP-AIDS program.^[2] However, lack of control over what went on in the park caused a multitude of problems. Drug dealers and users arrived from all over Europe, and crime became rampant as dealers fought for control and addicts (who numbered up to 20,000) stole to support their habit. The once-beautiful gardens had degraded into a mess of mud and used needles, and the emergency services were overwhelmed with the number of overdoses, which were almost nightly. Platzspitz, or Needle Park as it was then known, became a source of embarrassment to the Swiss government and in 1992, police moved in to clear up the park.^[3]

Today Platzspitz has been cleaned up and restored, and is presented by the authorities as a peaceful, family-friendly garden.

if the light’s right, and if you kinda squint, that chart might be an inverted head and shoulders pattern forming   …kinda on an upward bias

the dollar/yen ratio fell off the 110 cliff early this morning.

“going sideways in overbought situation” yes a good sign of strength!

This is going to be a good year for us. I feel it in my bones!

I like Jesse’s cup and handle chart:

Big picture looks v good, we are working off the O/B situation by going sideways, which is a v strong sign.

There is obviously big buying out there, only the Scum is holding it back….and again Dollar has gone soft, that isn’t in the playbook either.

🙂

GDX just went positive. Maybe today’s not a lost cause!

Gold just jumped 3 1/2 bucks and GG is Unch pretty much….Looks like GG is tdys wiping boy.

As u say the games never change.

Gets a little old don’t it …

Looking forward to something breaking.

Someone better tell Rick, that the PM shares may have a long run ahead, but someone else is selling any amount of GDX at 19.97 and GG ay 15.87/8 …..same ‘ol games at work.

Meanwhile the SM magically levitates.

Seattle could become the first city in the U.S. with a public site where users can inject and smoke hard drugs under medical supervision.

One local group plans to open a bare-bones safe-consumption site on a shoestring budget as soon as possible, while another group has launched an awareness campaign to build support among politicians and communities.

Proponents say one or more sites could reduce overdose deaths, HIV and hepatitis C transmissions and the number of used needles that litter sidewalks and alleys.

They say the sites would keep drug users alive long enough to seek treatment and give people on the margins of society means to access help.

The proponents point to Insite, a 13-year-old safe-injection site in Vancouver, B.C., where no overdose deaths have occurred. Founder Liz Evans spoke about the site to the Seattle City Council’s public-health committee last month.

Some council members were enthusiastic and Mayor Ed Murray says he wants to learn more. King County Sheriff John Urquhart says he’s leaning toward backing the safe-consumption sites idea.

“I was a narcotics detective, so I’m still trying to wrap my head around this,” Urquhart said. “But the more I hear, the more open I am to the possibility.”

Fingers crossed!

Ipso – really good day for the shares. They are so close to breaking out. If we can manage another up day in the metals, maybe we’ll get that next leg up in the shares. Just hopin’

R640 –

“It’s most ironic, of course, that the perceived antidote to the pandemic of lying in America is this arguably crooked real estate developer and gambling casino tycoon Trump. The grand entrance of Trump, with his unfiltered mouth, into the political arena becomes a preliminary argument for sweeping away the accumulated sclerotic political baggage of four generations lucky enough to have lived in a world that briefly allowed to fantasy to override the laws of physics and human nature. What we really ought to worry about is what follows in the foul wake of Trump, both in awful circumstance and the as-yet-unknown cast of characters who will have to grapple with it.”

Nothing like a backhanded compliment from a blowhard like Kuntsler who of course refuses to acknowledge who the real culprits are. No need to worry, Republicrats will steal the election and hand the crown to Hillary. Courtesy of the media, Hollywood, the banksters and the fully owned Congress in the USA.

When I was making $1.25/hr it was one Morgan Silver Dollar per hour, $28 today. Also gasoline at .25 cents was 5 gallon gas per/hour. Butts .25 cents.

I think the average wage for general labor at the turn of the century in the US was about a dollar a day … or a bit under an oz of silver.

So maybe that fast food worker is gonna be paid around 8X times in silver what he should be paid or more likely the price of silver should be 8X what it is now.

NY & CA pass $15 minimum wage

So now a fast food worker essentially gets paid 1 oz. of Silver per hour.    8 per day

Uh Huh… sure.

I would love to see how long that would last.
