negative today…but they can limit gains for the rest of the week…this just looks like business as usual–stocks could really explode to the upside if it looks like diplomacy/sanctions–not war–will be tried for a while
In 2000 just prior to the dotcom bust I was working in the brokerage industry. The company hired a chef for each floor to make gourmet lunch for the workers.

Exactly….you would think this strength in silver today is positive….but the fact it’s churning right now means the commercials have their collective finger on the sell button….meaning next week’s COTs will look considerably worse.
Silver would be up a couple of dollars today without this ‘administered selling’.

Re Hempcrete
I remember someone advocating useing Hemp stems like Glass in Glassfibre and saying that it was way stronger and lighter…but of course it go no-where.
All I can say is good on the US states for decriminalising it, it is a wonder material and only the Drug Co’s are stopping it.

The formatting of the polls doesn’t support a poll like that, which is actually a poll for every poster.
I don’t invest in the larger cap stocks. Stocks like EXK, MUX, FSM, KLDX, SAND, are about as big as I go.

Sprayed on to act like stucco? Maybe this is what we should be investing in?

Scant oversight, corporate secrecy preceded U.S. weed killer crisis
NEW YORK (Reuters) – As the U.S. growing season entered its peak this summer, farmers began posting startling pictures on social media: fields of beans, peach orchards and vegetable gardens withering away.
The photographs served as early warnings of a crisis that has damaged millions of acres of farmland. New versions of the herbicide dicamba developed by Monsanto and BASF, according to farmers, have drifted across fields to crops unable to withstand it, a charge authorities are investigating.
As the crisis intensifies, new details provided to Reuters by independent researchers and regulators, and previously unreported testimony by a company employee, demonstrate the unusual way Monsanto introduced its product. The approach, in which Monsanto prevented key independent testing of its product, went unchallenged by the Environmental Protection Agency and nearly every state regulator.

Sounds to me like hempcrete has a lot of advantages over concrete. The elasticity of it is great for earthquake zones. Maybe they’ll start making siding out of it. “Hempboard”
I know where several hempcrete houses are in CO
I know the builders, I met them at a Hemp Expo a few years back. Lots of alternative earthship type homes down in Crestone, CO and other places too. It has a bright future and people are growing hemp on pretty large scales here in CO. It’s all about how to process and mill the final product and lots of people are hustling and jockeying for positions here
Ran into this the other day. A most useful plant.
Hempcrete Could Change the Way We Build Everything
More people than ever are still stacking US Mint Silver Eagles
I was just looking at the Mint stats, 37M Silver Eagles minted already this year. I think we’re going to break another record this year at the rate it’s going. August is purple. I just quickly modeled this year for grins. No year can compare. Use the Mint as a proxy of what might be happening in the world

If anyone has other options for the poll then lets hear em.

All the games and fat heads in the sector that keep people from depriving the moneychangers from what they need most in the end is why this nightmare continues.
While I may have a good grasp on TA, first we must be grounded in the larger picture.
Do yourself a favor. Buy bullion and deprive the bastards of their power.

after 30 mins situation normal
a strong opening has transformed into everything trading on lows so far, after 30 mins. and Au never really got past plus 1 %.
scum rule!!!!
Captain Hook
I hope u washed yr mouth out with hydrochloric acid after saying
This is why stacking (passive bullion accumulation) will likely prove a wise strategy in the end.
That’s no way for a master of TA to talk !!!!!!

Just as precious metals have been ‘administered lower’ all these years, when it’s time, they will also be ‘administered higher’ as well – perhaps at unexpected intervals.
Traditional metrics will no longer apply and keep many out of the market.

Morning Buygold
Shares are coiled for explosion……but they may look across and see that the 1 % cap is in place, as per scum orders…so sell shiite out of the PM shares and buy the SM with all hands.
But I see a slight diff in the scum tactics here, or they are being overwhelmed…as each minute or hr passes, the next one does not start with selling, it has buying !!!!!
Ps 20 mins later we are stuck at plus 1 %….hellooooo CFTC…..any other mkts do that ????
Au hits plus 1 %……what do the scum do ….do we get the 1 % cap ???
Clear TA break out…no reason at all to sell here…lets see.
Morning Maddog
Hard to see any meaningful rally without the shares participating. JMHO
scum have some work to do…as AU eyes 1270 plus and all the stops above….
Looks like scum selling everything @ 1270….like NK doesn’t exist ?????
