The stock market isn’t going down. Too many bank stocks that love higher rates. Besides, if it did the entire pm sector would get crushed even worse.

USD bears getting squeezed bigly.

Manure…

Interesting fact about Manure: In the 16th and 17th centuries, everything for export had to be transported by ship.

It was also before the invention of commercial fertilizers, so large shipments of manure were quite common. It was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when wet, but once water (at sea) hit it, not only did it become heavier, but the process of fermentation began again, of which a by-product is methane gas.

As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles – you can imagine what could (and did) happen. Methane began to build up below decks and the first time someone came below at night with a lantern, BOOOOM! Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was determined just what was happening.

After that, the bundles of manure were always stamped with the instruction Stow High In Transit, which meant for the sailors to stow it high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the hold would not touch this “volatile” cargo and start the production of methane.

Thus, evolved the term ‘SHIT’, (Stow High In Transit) which has come down through the centuries and is in use to this very day.

You probably did not know the true history of this word. Neither did I. I had always thought it was a golf term.ho

a few bucks that day. As I write $ fyts. are up 533bps and G&S het wasted. Let’s see if the stock indexes are allowed to go red for 3 minutes before they rebound.

picking up…those looking for a bottom in the dollar and a multi-month rally haven’t got much satisfaction so far. The $ is only modestly up…it would be highly unusual for G&S to come back today but stocks look like they want to roll over [the impossible]…or, at least, give up gains [the probable].

Why change anything if you’re the cretins? It’s been working for 9+ years now. Sure is discouraging to say the least.

There’s your last best buying opportunity on the jobs report. Step right up. Won’t get another opportunity like this until at least Monday.

Got back in town last night just in time to throw my bags on the kitchen floor and watch Trump Live in Va. Great stuff. Watching the Govenor of Va switch from being a Democrat to Republican was a highlight. Here is a link to watch, Trump’s speech starts around the 4hrs 30 min mark.

Spent a few days with a buddy who is fighting cancer. He wanted to hook up at the beach for a few days inbetween the chemo and radiation treatments. Tough old buzzard. Brought his guitar so while there was no fishing this time, there was plenty of good times making memories. And they say ya cant make gold. 🙂

Back to the PM pits. Have not a clue what this day has in store. Fridays are not usually kind to the likes of us, but ya never know.

Now we know why the shares have stunk all week. They knew.

the clintons should be the target. Trump wanted to mr nice guy after he won and not prosecute them. He is a business and media genius but did not know politics–but he is a fast learner. He will be just fine and seen as the greatest Prez in history-never sell Trump short…or america..

Gop okay with it like a coup d’ etat. Gop has not been just useless but some have openly sided with the left in resistance of his agenda.
They used Trump to revive their party from their party with empty promises then turned on him and stay silent when it’s clear what Mueller is up to. He has selectively gathered grand jury of democrat donors that do not like Trump. This is our President they are trying to railroad him and GOP remains silent.
They hope to trip Don Jr up or drag Trump into it because they know under oath it’s the only way they can impeach. I hope his son evokes the 5 TH or they will agressively try to trip him up even if they have nothing Theyll make it up and use that to do it. Say nothing tell them to prove it.
Congress should demand Mueller to step down as well as his selected grand jury demo donors or we’re seeing a dictatorship in the making.

I think ‘the boys’ are fishing for Farmboy…

Chris Sevier says that if same-sex couples are able to get married and demand that Christian bakers make them wedding cakes, then he should be allowed to marry his laptop and demand a cake to celebrate the union between one man and one machine.

The self-identified “machinist” says he married his laptop in a ceremony in New Mexico, and now he has sued to demand that a Colorado baker — who is already in court after refusing to bake for a same-sex marriage — must be compelled to make cakes for him and his computer “bride.” He also has filed a lawsuit demanding that Utah recognize his man-object marriage.

It’s the latest battlefront in an increasingly thorny area of law, after the U.S. Supreme Court in 2015 established a constitutional right to same-sex marriage.

Lower altitude spring flooding during higher altitude snowmelt period, often chemtrails overhead, risk of forest fires spreading to urban/forest interface areas, prolonged and large areas of smoke from forest fires regionally lingering long enough to be clearly captured on imagery from satellite platforms, and now someone is superimposing potential flight paths of nuclear arsenal overhead from North Korea.   Keep an eye on the skies overhead.  Cheers.   Equiz

Does anybody remember me talking about the abrupt change of $1 = 360 Yen after the war, to make us want to import “discounted” goods from Japan? Well, here it is. Bottom line Banks are acting like a global gov’t that “taxes” one country with a strong currency, and “gives” the tax money to a different country.

Nothing is a coincidence. $1 to 360 yen is like a 360% tariff or tax on US goods going into japan, and or a 360% “discount” on anything we import from Japan. You won’t see this kind of info in todays media.

part:

Post-war Japanese yen

Wartime inflation saw the yen drop heavily and on April 25 1949, the US fixed the rate at ¥360 per $1 as part of a plan to stabilize the Japanese Economy through the Bretton Woods System. The exchanged rate stayed pegged at this level until 1971, when the US abandoned the gold standard.

By 1973 the yen had risen to ¥271 per $1, until the 1973 oil crisis hit. The increasing costs of imported oil meant that the yen depreciated to ¥300 by 1976, with the re-emergence of the trade seeing it rise back up to ¥211 in 1978, until the second oil shock in 1979 saw rates drop back to ¥227 by 1980.

look for pm stocks and other stocks that can withstand a monetary crisis with contracting money supply. Those will be few and far between. When the fiat leaves the stock market, few will be exempt from the downdraft.

I figure TPTB think Europe has been basking long enough, with a falling Euro since June 2014, the month they started running the dollar up, to push the other currencies down. Everything is priced in dollars. Starting in early 2017, it looks like they reversed the stimulation FROM Europe back to the USA.

Its plain to see in this chart. That up move in 2014 HAD to be a PTB controlled manual adjustment.

I hear car sales are falling. So all that momentum of the stimulation the USA had during the 80 dollar index, is running out of steam. Don’t be surprised if it gets obvious that the US economy is starting a slowdown just as TPTB continue dropping the Dollar back towards 80. Always long delays between action and the reaction.

Is The Dollar Setting Up For A “Rip Your Face Off” Rally Or Total Freefall?

Opinions vary, of course, as to the possible reasons for the massive decline: European growth is better than expected, Trump’s presidency is going nowhere, the Federal Reserve won’t be raising rates, and so on.

Course James Mc has it right and I guess that is why I’m pissed off 3.4 x’s more than I’m even more pissed off. 🙂

This is another sucky day, my EXK is getting crushed even though I thought it would be MUX instead. Always something.

Embry may have it right in that it is all or nothing for the cabal right here, right now. They keep the SM propped, keep pm longs crushed, or the dam breaks. This stuff going on with Russia and China, China and India, and every other damn place is going to blow in the next couple of months. JMHO.

Looking forward to the last hour smash and tomorrow’s wondrous jobs report.

Tesla’s Model 3 cars have secret cameras installed in the rear view mirror to watch drivers (but the firm insists they aren’t activated)

The Tesla Model 3 has the potential to spy on you as you drive, with the automaker secretly installing a driver-facing camera in the rear view mirror of each vehicle.

The cameras, which Tesla claims are currently deactivated, could be used to monitor the driver’s attention span during autonomous journeys.

Tesla has remained tight-lipped as to the purpose of the cameras, and made no mention of the devices during the firm’s launch of the Model 3 last week.
