TORONTO/VANCOUVER – Barrick Gold Corp, the world’s largest gold producer, is weighing a sale of its majority stake in African unit Acacia Mining and has approached several South African miners, according to sources familiar with the situation.

The potential sale would be part of Barrick’s broader strategy of selling non-core assets to reduce its debt load. The Toronto-based company offloaded stakes in several mines last year.

Thanks for the kind words, the check is in the mail. I just wanted you to say a few good things about me, but you took it over the top by placing me in the company of the likes of Equisetum.

Ps) I added a little extra in the check for doing such a great job.

Bank Of England Stock Bounce Fizzles, Bonds & Bullion Bid

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-08-04/bank-england-stock-bounce-fizzles-bonds-bullion-bid

So that will be yet another belter of a day for Lloyd and the boys, as u just know Carnage tipped him off….well why else have so mny of yr ex-employees out there, if u don’t get all the inside info……. doing Gods work…my arse.!!!!!

What’s not to like ? Cheer up, do you realize we are going to have a WOMAN as President ! OK, so she has a bit of trouble telling the truth, but she is smart, super smart. Why else could her and Bill command half a million to give a speech? She knows the deep hidden secrets to financial success as proven by the exploding bank account of her Clinton Foundation. Not bad for a WOMAN huh ?? Everything is going to be just fine under the leadership skills of this WOMAN.

Imagine it Redneck, a WOMAN in the White House, for the first time ever. Im telling you it is a Historical event, of biblical proportion. You, me, all of America should be celebrating like there is no tomorrow. Why she is even bringing back the pant suit. Now there’s a WOMAN that knows fashion and style and wears them with such dignity. She is going to make America Great Again. I’m so proud she is a WOMAN.

She has a list of accomplishments a mile long. And so humble about it all that she wiped her computer of that list so nobody could find it. She is totally opposite that braggart Trump, who is not a WOMAN. All America needs to be Great again, is a WOMAN president. That’s all. We’ve never had one before you know! Not ever, not even once. Its history making I’m telling ya.

She wants to build bridges instead of walls. WOW ! Only a WOMAN could have a heart so big like that. She wants to invite the whole world to come live in her Kingdom. There are no bad immigrants. We make them bad by making them ‘Illegal’, dont you see? For over 200 years we have had it all wrong. Finally we are going to have a WOMAN to fix things. Im so excited about it. Why didnt we think of having a WOMAN sooner? Seems so obvious now.

And what about all that experience? She has lived in the White House before. How cool is that? No WOMAN has done that before. Its so Historical making we can overlook a few mistakes she has made cant we? Being a WOMAN, she knows how to run a house. She can stand Bill at the front door and hold Open House every day of the year when she is President. Folks from all over can drop by, and after handing Bill a million or two, can enter the House of WOMAN. Why, I bet Bill can rake in enough to pay off our National Debt in no time.

Remember the early years of Obama ? How the whole world swooned over him, loved him, thought he was the greatest thing since peanut butter. Well you aint seen nothing yet until we get a WOMAN president. Such a love fest we are going to see. It will be Historical.

I can hardly wait to place my Historical vote for a WOMAN. That is all that matters you know, she is a WOMAN for crying out loud !It is going to be a great day for planet earth when we have a WOMAN president. I cannot think of a better reason to vote for her than she is WOMAN, and making history of course. Making history is so important you know. She is going to make history like other women bake cookies. You aint never gonna see so much history this WOMAN is going to make. Folks are going to write books and songs about how much history. Obama wanted Hope and Change, who knew all we needed for change was a WOMAN. Amazing we never thought of that before.

Hey, do you think it’s too early to buy a Leisure Suit ? Those are historical too. Im just so excited about this Historical moment and having a WOMAN for president. I nearly peed on myself writing this post. That too is probably a historical moment. Chris Matthews of MSNBC once said just thinking about Obama sent chills up his leg. Well, just thinking of electing a WOMAN gives me a warm feeling running down my leg. Only a WOMAN can do that ! Well, and making history of course. Hail Madam President ! Hail to our WOMAN Commander in Chief ! I wonder if she will paint Air Force One pink? I wonder if she will replace that old WOMAN’s statue thats been standing in the NY Harbor with a statue of herself? This is so Historical a time to live in. I just can’t believe it !

In my eyes you both take first prize. The honesty and integrity of you both, and the ability to paint such vivid pictures with so few thought provoking words make this Oasis a place one never wants to leave. Thank you both for being so faithful and true to the reason we are all here. All the best to you both from Silverngold.

If Hillary wins, hyperinflation on steroids. If Trump overcomes the “fix”, the battle with the fed will heat up immediately . An exponential amount of fiat has to be created just to keep bloated financial markets afloat. That tidal wave of fiat and perhaps the fed itself stops. The fed and the irs were created on Jekel island in 1913 and very well could go down together. Instant deflation(crash) and the reset. It doesn’t take much imagination to see what comes next.

That picture of a weed growing up, breaking through, busting up the pavement. I have to figure that does represent us Goldbugs.

I have been reading your words and wisdom for a long time old friend. And I have enjoyed our journey, our quest, along this Golden Trail. We seen a lot, been through a lot, have watched our portfolios paved over on more than a few occassions. Seen gold rise, and then watched as it was kicked down like a red headed stepchild. And yet…with wonder, we watch gold claw its way back in the eternal fight to claim first prize in the ‘real money’ arena. Yes sir, its been one heck of a struggle.

Im glad you agree, we win every time we acquire an ounce.

Do you remember that picture ole Winedoc used to post of the long line of hopeful gold prospectors climbing up the side of some snow covered mountain ? I am glad someone else done all the hard work and digging. I’m glad I can walk into a store and trade em a few pieces of paper for something of value. Sometimes, its so easy, I almost feel guilty for taking advantage of them. 🙂

Best to you this evening, Farmboy

“…the nine symptoms of NPD, which are a the nine symptoms of NPD, which are a grandiose sense of self-importance, a preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, a belief that he or she is special and can only be understood by others with a similar status, a requirement of excessive admiration, a sense of entitlement, and  interpersonal exploitation, lack of empathy, envy of others, arrogant or haughty behavior.”

Lets take a look at each of those and see if Obama better qualifies .

1.) grandiose sense of self-importance: Obama mentions himself 119 times in his recent speech at the Democratic Convention. A trait he has been cited for since taking office. Seems to me Trump uses the word ‘we’ more often than not.

2.) a preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success: that phrase, or symptom fits Obama like a glove. Three key words give it away in Obama’s case. Preoccupation, fantasies, & unlimited. Obama has if nothing else been preoccupied with his dreams for America. His dreams, which most have been more fantasy than reality, and he views his claim to fame, Obama care, as unlimited success. Trump on the other hand has actually enjoyed success and many of his dreams have been built.

3.) a belief that he or she is special and can only be understood by others with a similar status : Obama coming from his socialist upbringing and being black relates mostly with those of similar mind, especially the radical fringe elements that served as his mentors. Trump, I think he feels his hard work and skills brought him success, and its obvious his ability to work with all kinds of people is proof of his leadership and ability to ‘get along’ and is understood by many.

4.) a requirement of excessive admiration: While Obama gladly accepts the admiration from any source, he thrives, revels in, the admiration of fellow discontents be it angry socialists, angry blacks, and most important, his fellow radical Islamic muslim brotherhood. Why else give Iran the billions, and reduce their requirements for nuclear inspections ? If Trump suffered from wanting admiration more than results, he would have never accomplished what he has and certainly would not be saying what he says, knowing that many will not exactly admire him. Obama has said a lot of things to get to the White House. Many of them outright lies. Trump speaks his mind, and what he thinks this country needs, not necessarily what people want to hear.

5.)  a sense of entitlement: Obama has referred to himself as King, and as deserving a third term. Kinda sez it all.

6.) interpersonal exploitation: Obama is a master at this. Quick to exploit any situation, even tragedy to bolster his agenda. His divisive actions prompting black vs white, rich vs poor, are legendary.

7.) lack of empathy, envy of others, arrogant or haughty behavior: Instead of empathy for the families that lost loved ones in Benghazi, he told them lies about a video tape. Obama has spent a life of envy for this country, its success, and world dominence. And I can think of nothing more arrogant or haughty than how he railed against Bush and the nations debt, even calling it unpatriotic, and then doubling our nations debt once he became President. To me that is the very height of arrogance, as well as irresponsible.

Of course, like Hillary, Obama does not think any of these symptons apply to him. They have their own,  live by, a different set of standards, rules, and laws. They feel entitled to special treatment, that laws do not apply to them. And that is my ultimate test of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).

I KNOW that Hillary is a career criminal, and I BELIEVE Trump is an outsider that has good intentions to straighten up the USA…..so I’m hoping he gets his chance. With all the MSM against him I think he is doing an outstanding job holding his head up and carrying on after all the dirty tricks being used to discredit him.

GO TRUMP!!

But that seemed like a hit piece to me. A former writer with the New york times ,that leftist rag, indeed.

“In her petition, Bass laid out the nine symptoms of NPD, which are a grandiose sense of self-importance, a preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, a belief that he or she is special and can only be understood by others with a similar status, a requirement of excessive admiration, a sense of entitlement, interpersonal exploitation, lack of empathy, envy of others and arrogant or haughty behavior.”                                                                                                                                 Sounds like a description of most politicians! Funny when I listen to Trump I see someone with a big ego, but other than that he makes a lot of sense. As far as I know he hasn’t killed anyone, unlike Hilliary, who gets a pass from the MSM.

I really HATE muckraking and this seems to be it at its worst. Still, maybe the air needs to be cleared on some of this. It is definitely posted F.W.I.W.

“Since we decided a few weeks ago to adopt the leaf as legal tender, we have, of course, all become immensely rich.”

Ford stared in disbelief at the crowd who were murmuring appreciatively at this and greedily fingering the wads of leaves with which their track suits were stuffed.

‘But we have also,’ continued the Management Consultant, ‘run into a small inflation problem on account of the high level of leaf availability, which means that, I gather, the current going rate has something like three deciduous forests buying one ship’s peanut.’

‘So in order to obviate this problem,’ he continued, ‘and effectively revalue the leaf, we are about to embark on a massive defoliation campaign, and…..er, burn down all the forests. I think you’ll agree that’s a sensible move under the circumstances.’

A Licence to Print Money

Once years ago with this same satellite company, I had no service for two full weeks. Couldn’t get anything. They said it was my problem so I began replacing different transmit and receiver parts, traveling almost 200 miles to get each part but nothing helped. One of their reps finally came out and said all my equipment was working fine, it was a segment on their satellite that was not providing service to about 20 customers. So he reported it to them and suddenly after two weeks it all started working again. When I requested a refund for down time and reimbursement for all my expense ……I didn’t even get an answer from them nor anything off my monthly bill. Arrogant assholes that will not admit any responsibility, and not worth my being upset, filing suit, or continuing down that negative path. So I have two choices in this remote location. Them ……or…….nothing.

A California Democrat on Wednesday launched a change.org petition calling for Donald Trump to a undergo mental health evaluation.

Rep. Karen Bass, who was a physician assistant and a clinical instructor prior to her political career, said the Republican presidential nominee may have narcissistic personality disorder, which could severely influence his actions as commander in chief.

“Donald Trump is dangerous for our country. His impulsiveness and lack of control over his own emotions are of concern. It is our patriotic duty to raise the question of his mental stability to be the commander in chief and leader of the free world,” the petition states.

“Mr. Trump appears to exhibit all the symptoms of the mental disorder Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). Mental health professionals need to come forward and urge the Republican party to insist that their nominee has an evaluation to determine his mental fitness for the job.”

In her petition, Bass laid out the nine symptoms of NPD, which are a grandiose sense of self-importance, a preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, a belief that he or she is special and can only be understood by others with a similar status, a requirement of excessive admiration, a sense of entitlement, interpersonal exploitation, lack of empathy, envy of others and arrogant or haughty behavior.

“I call on mental health professionals to publicly urge the Republican party to conduct an evaluation of Mr. Trump and officially determine if he is mentally fit to lead the free world,” Bass added in the petition.

telling me it was in the interests of “long term holders” to close the Gold Fund to new Money …WHAT ? in my interest to deter new investors from investing in GOLD ? If you can only “SELL” who the hell would buy? If it takes more buyers than sellers to move a fund or  Gold Stocks  up  and there are no more buyers by their swindle therefore it can only go down…. I got out of there so fast !

to my knowledge Vanguard is the only one to do that to a GOLD FUND !

no way jose! just a glitch in the programing. please post again. wj

I appreciate your postings and like your use of analogies, such as your image of  an earthworm squirming on hot pavement on a hot day in August.  I get that.  Analogies from some people I have problems with though, like the ‘breaking through the glass ceiling’, which has been used by the person who the Rothschild-Rockefeller-Soros-Bloomberg-Buffet interests have selected for your next president.

It seems best if I stick to my own analogies, like the one that goes with the picture posted at 15:59, which goes something along these lines:  the paved cap that the cabal bankers have placed over the fiat price of silver and gold is like soft tissue paper to Equisetum’s ability to accumulate gold in its tissue.

Like you, Equisetum’s  belief is that accumulating ounces of physical is all that matters.  Best wishes.  Equiz
