So … does the US line up with Syria to fight the Turks who are attacking our Kurdish allies?

Wouldn’t that be great if we weren’t there at all!

Mad Erg telling Vlad to but out, while he attacks the Donalds mates……that doesn’t look like Peace on Earth and Goodwill to all men !!!!!

Always thought the song with the most verses was ’99 Bottles of Beer On The Wall”.  Does seem these days the banksters wish to break that record with their predictable smashing of the PM’s.

Coffee in hand, ready to slug through another day, singing the bankster tune.

“Take Silver Down,

Give Gold A Pound,

Wealth is not measured by ounce.”

usual game, Dollar bid and PM’s hit….all because S&P is dn 1.5 pts !!!!!…..utter panic at Fed !!!!!

Near by OC down the HWY past San Diego is Mexicos border where you go into TJ. Many come and go from this route with fake IDs or get get across.
People including me have been there would shop or whatever. No more. This is what their fighting to bring in by refusing to secure the borders and stop chain migration.

As homicides soared to unprecedented levels across Mexico in 2017, Tijuana registered one of the steepest increases in the country. The tally for the year was a record 1,744 homicides — almost double the record of 910 homicides set in 2016, according to figures from the Baja California Attorney General’s Office.
“The main issue right now with the power struggle is Sinaloa and the CJNG battling for street dealers, narcomenudeo,” said an official with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, speaking on condition that he not be named. “You have got to understand, the money that they make in Tijuana, that’s as much as crossing the border” with smuggled drugs.

I also know the futures market is 95% abnormal. Naked shorting is abnormal. High margin is abnormal. Did you read the Plunge Protection team post? If prices are going too far against the wishes of TPTB, they have Goldman to buy or sell the opposite way.

Eventually, the growing distortions, too high or too low, cause natural market forces to take hold. In this recent low price situation? Regarding the 5% of the futures market players, that actually make and or take delivery?

A stalemate. The producers might be holding back delivers. Why sell now if your actual PRODUCT will be worth more next year? The actual BUYERS of physical. 5% of the market? May want to buy as much as they can get for their manufacturing and businesses.

Like I said long ago. Prices change the supply and or the demand. Until the distortion gets extreme. You end up with too much or too little supply, and the worm turns. A zillion years of low silver prices might be ready for a reaction.

Remember oil at $145? Silver at $50? Gold at $1900? Caused over production. Here we are years later and oil fell to $26. I think it may be 2001 all over again. A distorted high Dow and distorted low Commodities prices.

We have Bozos constantly rotating the value of the unit of account, and prices on the futures market, for the greater good. You want high food and fuel prices, because then you will be able to GET food and fuel. Prices too low and suppliers go out of business. Its all a feast of famine situation.

Now, what tickers are you holding? If you show me yours, I’ll show you mine. 🙂

Homeless in OC was already posted. Since then they have broke up the encampment. There are many sites posting pictures of the break up but this one below is ironic because the video at the bottom had a comment by a apt renter near by complains about the homeless who appears to have a foreign accent.
Apparently California is only a sanctuary city if your a non citizen.

The high volume might suggest a turning point higher. Simply more than usual selling, because that side thinks prices are too high, and like to short, and the other side may have growing numbers of people thinking prices are too low. Could be like a tug of war situation.

In a normal market I’d agree, but never in pm’s – ever.

trashed it is for silver.

Don’t ya just love how Bitcoin bounces $2K off the lows?

Just another day, week, month, year….

How about this one? Millions of new buyers, against Goldman Sachs gov’t lap dog selling naked at the same time. More volume needed to fight against longs. Special manufacturing interests (jewelry, space and defence) that take delivery, enjoy low prices to keep costs down.

Or it could be the same “100 guys”, or computerized trading machines, all each going in and out 500 times in a day. Wheel spinning. One time I had to talk to an IRS agent to explain something. About such a big 1099 and a small profit. I told her, if you go in and out very often, with the same $40,000 it can add up to $3,000,000. And show a profit or loss of $40,000

Only if you don’t mind, what tickers are you sitting on.

we’re gonna get trashed. The overlords can’t have Silver blasting. For some reason this is a psychological level to defend. All hell breaks loose above here IMHO. Trillions of money are on the line.

Riddle me this. Why is heavy volume a negative in the silver market – because price didn’t advance?

Why does heavy volume in silver always mean prices will collapse?

Not disagreeing because it is apparent pm’s are going to get crushed as is evident in the COT’s and the miraculous USD rally at the end of the day.

Is there ever a scenario when pm’s win?

I’m going to be selling more of my share positions tomorrow – no more of this holding and getting killed. If I wasn’t working, I’d have dumped most everything today. What a joke.

Vote! Vote!

Silver Volume Extreme as in April 2013

During yesterday’s session, silver moved back and forth in a volatile manner on volume that was the highest since April 2013. There were a few volume spikes in the meantime, but none as big as what we saw yesterday. The silver market is being very loud. But are you listening?

It may be hard to notice silver’s signs with all that’s happening in the USD Index and given the rally in gold stocks, but it’s definitely worth it. Let’s investigate (charts courtesy of http://stockcharts.com).

The volume in silver was epic. One could say that it’s because there was no regular session on Monday, but during the previous years there were also other cases when there were market holidays and in no other case was the volume this big. In other words, the volume is extreme even if we take the above effect into account.

However, it is most important that the volume was extremely big – not that it broke a few records. History tends to repeat itself, so the key question is what silver did after previous sessions when it traded on huge volume.

It usually declined. We marked the similar sessions with vertical lines and we used the red color for the cases when a bigger decline followed either immediately or shortly. The black line represents the session that was not followed by anything specific and the blue session was followed by higher silver prices in the short term.

The red sessions dominate, which makes the current session bearish. However, what makes it very bearish is considering the above together with the RSI indicator. The latter shows the status of the market when the huge-volume upswing was seen.

Yep ? Knew it yesterday thus my rant.
Good news Apple joined the hundred and something companies with better outlook after tax plan to bring back jobs. 20,000 of them.
Now let’s see if they go to Americans first.

huge volume yesterday indicates a move down. maybe 15.50 area. i will get more phiz.

Folks, I’ve got to say. Life has simply never been better. All I have to do is sit back, pour myself a glass of iced tea and watch the money flow into my account. This is because I made the decision to pour all of my life savings and subsequent income into 3x Long Leveraged S&P500 throughout the duration of 2017. The fact of the matter is that World Central Banks have NO choice but to keep printing dollars and using them to buy Stocks. There are too many pension funds that rely on the S&P 500 being at all time highs. To allow prices to drop at this point would basically negate Donald Trumps entire first year, and he will simply not allow that to happen.

All aboard the train folks. It’s funny, I originally started looking at this site due to it’s bearish and realistic perspectives. However, as much as I love Zero Hedge they have simply not been correct in terms of predicting a market crash. It’s not their fault however, as it’s no longer POSSIBLE for a stock market crash to occur. We are now in the new financial paradigm and the only direction the market can go based on supply and demand of money is UP.

The days of expecting major crashes and corrections is far behind us. It’s not too late either. We will likely see 3000 by end of year, and 4500 by end of 2019. Sure, get some bitcoins too, because anything valued in dollars is going to go up. I’ve been doing so well that I have quit my job and now can do whatever I’d like to with my day. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to go play the robot shooting game on Occulus Rift. Happy wednesday ya’ll.
