Buygold, you did install the Nitro Kit right??

This is a pretty ugly chart IMO. Could be a tailwind for us.

Oh. Thanks.

I see the SM refuses to die as usual which I guess also means that gold can’t take off to the upside – as usual.

Saw Santelli speculating that the USD could be in trouble longer term. Never heard that before. 🙂

Ipso – who is Eisman? Gov’t guy or?

Farmboy – a little encouraging to see the metals move higher as the SM loses ground. Really need the HUI to blow through 200 and these shares to take off.

USD looking dismal. Must be the fact that there are no systemic issues….

“There aren’t any systemic issues”

Oh really!

7 days in a row would be unprecedented.

I don’t know, the scum seems to be drip selling the shares out of the gates.

HUI 200 is a huge brick wall. Gold should be up at least $10

Absolutely no volume. Really bizarre action, if I had to bet it would be on JDST….

Agree with you Buygold, not much pop for the PM’s with the dollar sinking this morning.

Clink of the siesta coffee cup to you this morning. Lets see if we can make it another day in the Green Zone.

USD really getting smacked a bit this am. What’s that about?

Need more pop in the pm’s

April Housing starts missed by a country mile.

“Siesta Coffee”… is that an oxymoron??  Good thing I took a nap.  I may be up half the night here working the ham radios.  Forty meters is open to both the left and right coasts from the middle of the Pacific.

Germany will look for alternatives to Turkey’s Incirlik Airbase – Merkel

Germany will consider relocation of its troops from Turkey’s airbase Incirlik following a recent refusal by Ankara to allow German MPs to visit soldiers stationed there, says Chancellor Angela Merkel.

“We will continue to talk with Turkey, but in parallel we will have to explore other ways of fulfilling our mandate,” Merkel said. “That means looking at alternatives to Incirlik, and one alternative among others is Jordan.”

Your posting this morning inspired me to check out our favorite population of horsetail (in this case, Equisetum hyemale), which shows as the dark green upright stems in the centre of the  attached image which I photographed  a couple of hours ago.  About 6 weeks ago  Mrs. Equiz liberated this patch of horsetail which was up to then overtopped with invasive, non-native English ivy.  While she was focussed on that bit of ecological restoration I was suppressing a patch of unwanted reed canary grass.  I recall you saying once that you formerly were involved with distribution of reed canary grass and other species suitable for roadside and disturbed site revegetation.  In our case we had reed canary grass where it was not wanted in a municipally-owned urban forest.  If you google (King County, reed canary grass) there is a useful PDF file posted by King County, State of Washington.  I am indebted to King County for making their best management practices for reed canary grass publicly available, and I think we are having some success in using their suggested suppression method for this aggressive introduced grass.

As to my recent lack of postings on this forum, my interests do not go much beyond our interest in natural area management in an urban forest – that is when I am not keeping a daily eye on the fiat price of physical silver and gold, plus watching for positive or negative news about our main paper holdings (Silver Wheaton, Sandstorm, McEwen, Americas Silver, Endeavour Silver, First Majestic, and First Mining Finance).  That’s enough to keep us interested, engaged, and content with life, generally paying little attention to all the other market noise and geopolitical noise around us on the internet.   Cheers, and thanks for your many interesting postings.   Equiz
