Buygold @ 8:13 Good Eye On NAK Moving Pre Market
Notice it is up 28% at present. Normally would sell and take some off the table. Think I will wait for a pullback as that pony seems to want to run.
Bought some JDST this morning thinking Da Boyz might trash the PM’s after yesterdays climb. Kept the JNUG so the trading account is pretty much just sitting there waiting for a break to one side or the other. Should have gone fishing. 🙂

Yep, the scum decided to step in and play today. The juniors haven’t looked that great during this little move up.
No doubt even the metals should be doing a little better on the back of a weak USD and SM.

Maddog @ 11:04 Be Nice To Know What Other Jr’s They Might Invest In ?
Any thoughts on Le Pen and the upcoming elections in France? Got a feel for what might happen?
Both Gold and Silver are up on the day…yet virtually all miners are down.
The PM shares are fast becomming a sick joke…led as always by NEM.
Auandag @ 22:01
Sorry, but that guy offers nothing but pure unadulterated fear porn. I really did try to listen, but it’s fantasy.
I support Trump, who has not overnite been turned into a toddler or a tool of the state.

Tks v much for that piece on GDXJ…..that explains a lot, as it has been trading like a dog recently…I thought the scum were sitting on it, like in GDX.
Love to see just how much Van Eck have really invested in the Juniors….I suspect way less, than they should have.
Maddog 2:14, Goldielocks
The natural gas pipeline was moved northward, will go through Iraq. This has nothing to do with a pipeline.
yesterday’s democrats/today’s democrats
from elsewhere on the web:
For most of my life, most Democrats believed in free markets. They believed that free markets were imperfect, and needed a level of regulation much higher than I think they need, but they were practical people who thought markets should be more or less free, with just enough regulation to control externalities.
These people also believed that taxation, and welfare, should have limits. They wanted what they considered a ‘more compassionate’ state, in which those who do well share some of their income with those who do poorly in order that all Americans can achieve some level of comfort, and enjoy some form of the American dream. I disagreed with them in terms of how much we should be taxed, how much we should give those in need, and what exactly the safety net should look like, but we had the same basic goals and could carry rational discussions with some level of agreement.
I could talk with these people about when, where, and why to regulate. When we agreed that regulation was necessary, we could talk about how to regulate. We did not always agree, but there was enough common ground to carry out a thoughtful and constructive dialogue, and we could generally find places to compromise. We were generally on the same team with the same basic goals. We just had different ways to accomplish those goals.
In terms of welfare, we generally agreed that dependency is a poor solution to poverty, and that whatever the social safety net looked like, it’s job was to catch those who fall, but not to support people for their entire lives.
Those Democrats are still out there, but they are becoming few and far between. Today’s Democrat by and large believes that limited regulation is insufficient – that government must control, if not own, the economy, and that the purpose of welfare is to provide as comfortable a life as humanly possible to anyone who, for whatever reason, does not work. They want people to be free from economic burdens such that they can pursue their passions, but they believe that the fruits of all labors are communal, and that there exists an intellectual and moral elite who should control how those spoils are consumed.
I have no common ground with these people at all.
This country was once ruled by an intellectual and moral elite, who had the power to free the people from economic burdens, taking communally the fruits of the people’s labors, and spending it communally. His name was King George III.
Today’s liberals do not want a king. They want a democratic version of state control.
None of them have ever been able to convince me how having a thousand dictators a mile away is an improvement over having one dictator one thousand miles away. If we must have an authoritarian state, why not have King George III?
Socialists can go to hell. Tell George I said ‘hello’ when you get there.
How an ETF gets too big for its index
“The ETF in question is the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ), which tracks the MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners Index. Since early 2016, assets in the fund ballooned from a little more than $1 billion to $5.4 billion currently. Some of that was due to rising share prices — GDXJ nearly doubled from $19.80 at the start of 2016 to recently as high as $36.71, an 85 percent gain, thanks to the rebound in gold.”

Re Trump Blackmail
No Idea..but the idea that all this is about a darn pipeline in 2017, would be shamefull in the extreme.
Gold Train

The Challenger pulls gold thru the Bear River Gorge in Utah.

He talks about the pipeline from Iran wanting to go through countries Syria blocking and now Truml is being blackmailed.
He may have a point as Trump looked like a POW talking after he came out with the strike. Everyone knows he kept saying stay out of Syria before and US first. Will we ever know the truth WHOS commiting these atrocities.

There were arguments whether it was Sarin or something else like Tabun. No matter it was a weapon of mass destruction. If it was JIM Jones forcing people to drink Koolaide which wasn’t even Koolaid it was a cheaper form it’s still mass murder. Why should people have to defend their actions to go after the culprits in the first place. When O did nothing they complained when atrocity’s were happening and all we got is we don’t use that word. Now that they do something they complain about that. It’s a side tract. People should be more concerned who the culprit was. Here’s some info on the two.
Here’s the story: In 1936, a German scientist named Gerhard Schrader at Bayer (yes, that Bayer which made aspirin) and later the IG Farben factory (which also produced Zyklon B, the chemical agent used to gas millions of Jews and other “undesirables” to death during the Holocaust), was working on an insecticide designed to disrupt the insect’s nervous system.
Schrader experimented with a class of chemical compounds called organophosphates to kill leaf lice or wooly aphids. He and his assistant had synthesized a compound called tabun when, accidentally, they were exposed to a drop of the colorless liquid which fell onto the lab bench. They became very dizzy and had severe difficulty seeing and breathing. It took them three weeks to recover fully.
Schrader has just discovered the first class of nerve agent known to man. Tabun or GA is the first in the G-series of nerve agents discovered by the “father of nerve gas.”
Immediately, the Nazi government instructed Schrader to change the focus of his research from killing insects to humans. New factories dedicated to the production of tabun were built, and the Nazi stockpiled over 12,000 tons of tabun. In the following years, Schrader refined two more compounds in the G-series, sarin (or GB), soman (GD) and cyclosarin (GF), but the Germans stuck to tabun as their main chemical weapon.
Sarin, which was 500 times more toxic than cyanide, was named in honors of the people who first discovered it: Schrader, Otto Ambros, Rüdiger and Hermann Van der Linde.
It later became the preferred nerve gas by Western governments because of its greater lethality over tabun, cheap production cost, as well as its ease of turning into gas.
What happened to all that nerve gas that the Nazi made? Fortunately, it was never used against Allied troops (more below). In 1945, at the end of World War II, Soviet forces captured the factory that produced tabun and poured the nerve agent into the Oder River.

I am not one who ONLY recognizes what happened to the Jews nor did I suggest it. The way he put it was the point. ” ” ” “Even Hitler didn’t ” like he wasn’t even that bad. He was and the fact that it was the nazis from what I read who manufactured it for the puropse of a weapon.
goldcountry @ 19:33 ….Okay I just read it now.
I admit it sounds convincing, if we lived in normal times and the US was not run by a corrupt congress. I believe the Neocons want war now. Watch the following and see why?
Hey Goldie
“Kinda messed up using the phrase even Hitler didn’t use gas.”
Oh sure, he definitely messed up because you can never equate anything to the Holocaust or Hitler. The Jews will go crazy, never mind the fact that they killed at least 20 million Russians at the turn of the century. Nope, they are the only victims the world has ever known.
Expect Spicer to apologize until he finally resigns under the weight of the Zio/Neocon/Jewish owned media. It’s the American way. Whatever the Israeli’s want, they get.
Please.
goldielocks @ 16:34 Re: the first responders without gloves
Declassified report says open source accounts posted after the attack that “first responders had difficulty breathing, and some lost consciousness, after coming into contact with the victims, consistent with sarin exposure.”
Auandag @ 16:40 Okay, I don’t blame you for being skeptical.
We have to be, these days. But do you mind if I ask you if you actually read the 4 page declassified PDF? I found the multiple data points and corroborating sources to be convincing.
