Loading ...Have to disagree. The less they “get done” the better. I say pay’em and send the whole bunch home and prohibit them from passing any legislation. We’d be better off. No one is safe when the legislative body is in session.
UPDATE 1-China’s U.S. Treasury debt holdings fall for 6th month in Nov -data
“The pace of China’s selling of Treasuries is unprecedented. Over the six months through November, China had shed $194.66 billion of Treasuries and over the previous 12 months, had sold $215.11 billion. Both are records.”

I didn’t think this was really that bad of a day considering the strength of the bounce in the USD. Could have been a lot worse. At least they appear to be working in tandem?
Wouldn’t surprise me if we get smashed again in the morning, but if we recover throughout the day I would think that would be pretty positive.
eeos mentioned $17.35 silver as a fighting point, I’d guess they’ll also try to get gold below $1200 to instill some fear, hope they don’t but it would be no real surprise if they do.
Might be a Trump slam in the SM following inauguration, who knows? Real question is how gold will react.
All of course, JMHO
NEMO ( 14:04 ) – the same tune is followed in other anthems or patriotic songs
In USA , it is ‘America’.
Throughout the old British Empire , it is ‘God Save the King/Queen’ .
And apparently something akin to that for the Kaiser, back in the day, as you posted .
Remember that the royal ‘Windsor’ family of the UK and elsewhere , were imported from the same region as the Kaiser , and are likely related , as they were to the ill-fated family of the late Czar of Russia , whose pleas for asylum a century ago were ignored or rebuffed by the Windsors .
Maya @ 2:41 on 18 January. You are correct that there are not many vantage points from
which it is possible to get a good camera view of the portals for the CPR’s spiral tunnels. The link below does contain at least one photo image of the upper and lower portals of one of the circle tunnels (See the largest central photo in the photo collage of the link below). Relative to the overall elevational gradient of the broad mountain slope, the elevation difference between the lower portal and the upper portal looks minor in this central photo, but the elevation gained on the gradual grade in the two tunnel circles is enough for the lift needed to get the rail line up to the elevation of Kicking Horse Pass. Beautiful countryside through that pass. Cheers. Equiz

re MoC orders…tks for that.
I wonder who is doing that….I know the institutions, buy @ the open and @ the close…..but not just MoC. They do that so they get close to the average of the days range, obviously it does not always work, but long term it is close.
Haven;t been watching too closely last few days, so not sure if the institutions have been in, but looking at how the PM shares lagged, i doubt it…but maybe tdy they started.
Cheers.
re Market-On-Close Order – MOC
I checked and saw quite a few more PMs on my watch list. I’ve never seen so many of these at the end of the day in my life time playing the market. Below some related info.
Maddog @ 15:39
Yes I see that. Got back here surprised to the dollar got higher. May have something to do with Janet Yellin speaking on Bloomberg live. But, I got a bunch of positive news pop-ups here at 15:45 saying…..
NYSE ORDER IMBALANCE XXXX# SHARES ON THE BUY SIDE. They call them “market on close” orders.
On CDE AGI MUX AG HL SLW AEM AKG AU and God knows how many others. Obviously a huge number of buy orders.
Market on close (MOC) means that the investor wants to buy or sell a given financial instrument at the last price that is dealt in the market at the end of the trading day.
Mr.Copper
Reckon we may get a bit cheaper …….Gold up 7 days straight, tdy wud have been 8 days, so a pause to refresh is well over due…..imho.
Cheers.
Treefrog, ROTFLMAO !
Good one !!
The Cabal and Silver
These guys are going to put up a huge fight here in Silver at the $17.35 line. This is the line in the sand and we will probably have to wait weeks for the dirtballs to give up at this level
And now to…..
…This is for you to ponder about.

Dopey Dollar Bounce Up Today, So I’m Taking Advantage
I bought another thousand of NAK, @ $2.57, and another thousand of AXU @ $1.81.
What are you other traders doing? C’mon, It’s too quiet here today.
P.S. Just bought another 500 MUX @ $3.96 to put on my Roth.
PSS Stepping out a while, be back a little later.

You think it’s a ‘vacation’ running this train and brewing coffee in the wee hours for this motley crew? Yeah, I sleep late on Saturdays. And Sundays are hallowed.
Drinking Gin and warming my feet with Pele’ is not on the ‘vacationer’ list, either. I keep my running shoes nearby. 🙂

Maybe its a Good thing
that Russia wins in Aleppo ..it now controls more mid East Politics which also means it is now their PROBLEM and it is THEIR Neighborhood ! Iran is their problem, Muslims are THEIR problem ! This happens at a time when energy is not a problem for the US.
Our own politics have changed and our own laws about oil ,Gas and Coal will no longer work against us to Russias advantage ! We were own own worst enemy ! We didnt have the will to control the Muslims ,the Russians do ! however brutal it may be .Its whats needed.!
Its not in their interest to have a nuclear Power in Iran to rival Russian influence ! Russia needs to spend millions restoring Syria and the War torn area ! As long as we are not stupid enough to send aid and let Russia bear the burden on their treasury they wont have money enough to create trouble else where ! It all takes MONEY ! Its now Russias Bank account that gets drained !
We need to keep Turkey as a buffer zone for Europe and NATO needs to rebuild and modernize under trumps control ! He knows it ..thats why he criticized NATO in the first place .! NATO needs to strengthen its military and then pull back from Russian Borders.
The Russians will get the message …”speak softly and carry a big Stick”.They respect Power ! Thats why they had NO respect for Obama ! He put troops on their BORDER that were weak and that invites confrontation ! Pull back from their Border with a Strong force and that keeps the peace ! They respect that and they save face ! ALL threats are diminished.
JFK? ……….. not likely
CIA Releases 13 Million Pages Of Declassified Documents: Include Psychic Experiments, UFO Research
The Central Intelligence Agency has published nearly 13 million pages of declassified files online, documents which previously were physically accessible only from four computer terminals at the National Archives in College Park, Maryland.
The record include info on Nazi war crimes, the Cuban Missile Crisis, UFO sightings, human telepathy (“Project Stargate”) and much more. The release has been a long time coming: Bill Clinton first ordered all documents at least 25 years old with “historical value” to be declassified in 1995. The agency complied, however anyone who wanted access had to trek all the way to the US National Archives in Washington DC to get a peak.
