boys would love to crater the prices
All is now clear …..Lloyd and his scum mates in Davos have told the Donald to correct Mnuchin !!!!
Dollar Surges After Trump Says “Mnuchin Was Misinterpreted, Dollar Will Get Stronger”
This is bizarre
or do the Algo’s still buy Dollars as soon as the PM’s get hit ?????Maybe they haven’t been re-calibrated.
One minute Mnuchin is happy for a weaker dollar and now someone is buying hell out of it ????

Trumps pretty much responsible or at least a promoter of the dollar down for unfair trade reasons. Mentioning that Germany is undermining us as well as other EU countries.
What is trying to hold down PMs is any guess no real time to find out but plan on it.
Hey Ipso
Doesn’t seem to want to hold though.
Every time UUP ticks up a penny, they tick the metals down.
Fridays have been pretty good lately, maybe tomorrow we’ll get what we’re owed.

During the Trump hoopla, everybody and their uncle was saying the dollar was in a bull market. Widely held opinions are generally wrong. I told my friends the prior trends were still intact, but the Trump campaign disrupted the trends, and the Dollar had to go lower, simply because it was NEEDED for the US Economy.
Yesterday I heard Treasury Sec Mr. Munchkin say that in the news. “weak dollar good” well I said it first, and btw I NEVER heard them say that on TV. For DECADES they said a strong dollar was good for the country. After the ’08 crash I heard Obama pump made in USA. First time for that too from any prior president.
Besides that, anybody that implies “weakness” or “strength” re US Dollar, is suggesting those currencies are separate and independent and compete against each other like a horse race. In my view the currency values are globally “adjusted” as needed. They can “Nudge” the direction they want, with the dollar, in the media and futures market, and then the futures players can continue their game, thinking they are playing natural and free markets.
There are actually only TWO currencies…
#1 Is the US Dollar.
#2 Is ALL the other currencies. Take a look for yourselves. Everything is priced in adjust-o-bucks.

I think that’s probably plan B. Make up some conspiracy theory in this case the Russians which was debunked so turned into something else. They want him under oath purpously because they can set him up for perjury which even if he didn’t do anything wrong they could use that to impeach. There’s no reason to have to be under oath. So much real corruption I can hope that is done first.
My youngest daughter can go online and get all a phones information off the computer. Phone numbers, texts, memos email. That’s kinda scary to see it’s all on the internet.
Point is if she can do it in a minute what is taking them so long?

$1364 now … got to like this strong metals action. 🙂
A few years of this would be ok …
some missing emails recovered
How do they know 50,000 are missing if they are missing?
Trump and his lawyers are not seriously considering Trump talking to Mueller under oath? Surely he is just be playing the media? There is nothing good that could come of that or be accomplished. Period.
THE LEAD STORY – ‘HANNITY’ EXCLUSIVE – ‘MISSING’ FBI TEXTS FOUND?: The Justice Department has started recovering some of the missing texts between two FBI officials under scrutiny for alleged anti-Trump views, Fox News’ Sean Hannity reported on Wednesday’s “Hannity,” citing DOJ sources … 50,000 missing text messages between FBI agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page over a five-month period have been at the center of controversy on Capitol Hill since the DOJ notified congressional committees that there was a gap in records between Dec. 14, 2016, and May 17, 2017.

Just waiting for 1360 to bust with some gusto
Can’t believe they’re able to hold it back.
Treefrog – Great idea for those chilly nights
here in Colombia , most homes have a reserve tank in the attic in case of loss of water pressure , and to add to the anti-seismic resistance of the reinforced concrete/rebar columns . Concrete has impressive compressive strength , and the weight of concrete upper floors and stored water keeps the columns under compression to avoid cracking during earthquakes. It works ! I have seen the walls and columns flexing during earthquakes without damage – very impressive .
I saw one with 10 000 liter capacity at the home center store the other day .
Most are more the 500 liter size .That is a half ton of water sloshing overhead during an event.

Erdogan The Magnificent says:
Turkey to U.S.: end support for Syrian Kurdish YPG or risk confrontation
ANKARA/BEIRUT (Reuters) – Turkey urged the United States on Thursday to halt its support for Kurdish YPG fighters or risk confronting Turkish forces on the ground in Syria, some of Ankara’s strongest comments yet about a potential clash with its NATO ally.
Farmboy – YEP!
But you will need thirty years without rain .
But with all the ‘gators gone , how do we dispose of ‘undesirables ‘ without leaving evidence ?
IAMGOLD Consolidating an Emerging New Gold District Anchored by Rosebel
TORONTO, Jan. 24, 2018 /CNW/ – IAMGOLD Corporation (“IAMGOLD” or the “Company”) has signed an agreement with the Government of Suriname whereby it has been granted the exploration rights to the Brokolonko property. The property is located approximately 30 kilometres from the Rosebel mill in Suriname and just northwest of the previously acquired Saramacca property and the Sarafina property optioned to IAMGOLD. Unlike Saramacca and Sarafina, IAMGOLD has not acquired Brokolonko from a third party, but has instead secured the rights to exploration directly from the Government of Suriname.

farmboy, re groundwater

groundwater? who cares? i have a 500 gallon tank of rainwater (seen here in the construction phase) as a heat sink in the greenhouse. my catchment area is sufficient to fill it with half an inch of rain.

Definitely something going on with the dollar and not just Mnunchin’s comments.
Seems to me they’ve got to step on pm’s to keep the appearance that there’s no panic
There’s absolutely no way either metal should be down
Alex Valdor @ 8:10 So……
if Georgia cuts off the groundwater to Florida, then the swamp that breeds those nasty swamp lizards will dry up, right?
Go Dawgs !!

Buygold, Quite The Mystery (Misery) Watching The Dollar Sink Aint It?
No doubt there is a hell of a fight going on in the bankster pits this morning. Cant help but take a WAG as to what increased PM prices would mean to that world of Quad Zillion derivatives. Banksters appear desperate to contain Silver this morning. Bless their little hearts. 🙂 (Which is Southern speak for Trump’s “shithole’)
USD still in free fall
Closing in on being down another 1%
I don’t know how long the scum can keep pm’s from exploding right here, right now
Maybe if we bust above 1360 the dam breaks, but we should be up $20 easy
Then the coinage becomes smaller , thinner and of poorer metal
as the cost of minting exceeds the value of the coin .

As we did back in the 60s when we stopped issuing silver coins .
I can still remember a student assembly from that era , with Hubert Humphrey ‘defending’ that move . His words ” put different global denominations on a table and turn out the lights . The US dollar will be the one that has disappeared when the lights come on .” He was right , thanks to the petrodollar .
Previous vs. Present issue
Stop putting the zeros on the notes , just show mil ( a thousand ) instead .
Maybe the next step is to issue a ‘New Peso’ worth 1000 ‘Old Pesos’ as France did around 1960 ?

If we lose petrodollar status globally , this could happen in America . The reset would make ‘stackers’ rich , but would likely see massive social unrest . I would rather be ‘poor’ as I am now than see that happen .
USD just took a quick hit again
appears there are a lot of players that just want to GTFO!
PM’s should be soaring right now but the heavy hand is still there
They don’t even put the Three zeros on the banknotes except for the small denominations
Correction : Even the 2000 peso note is now 2 mil pesos . I think 1000 may now be a coin , but I am not certain of that .
100 000 pesos …under $40 US.
