Ah Maddog – yes, whatever was good about yesterday is apparently not good today. Haven’t been able to put together a few good days in a row for quite awhile now. Peace did breakout last night though so I’m not too unhappy this am yet.
Capt. – I must’ve missed the part where samb apologized to you. Not sure his trade is over just yet, at worst he may give up yesterday’s gains?

Don’t apologize to me…apologize to yourself…because your are only betraying yourself. The fact this kind of reckless gambling effects the entire market only affects those who play this crap and lose money.
I own bullion and quality shares that are not going anywhere for the duration. This morning you must decide on whether to bail on your bad trade or not.
So again, don’t apologize to me. You are the one in pain.
Cheers

So PM’s get hit, right in front of the No’s, because they knew the No’s were bullish, just to make sure $1300 is not broken and no momentum allowed on the upside.
The longer this goes on the less reason there is to have mkts and by definition capitalism…did any one ever vote for this….I didn’t that’s for sure.

But what if it’s plants people eat and will it hurt bees?
Might help with some dogs who chew up plants and some can be toxic. I know a LAB pup that not only chewed up his owners garden then when that was gone he dug up and demolished her underground watering hoses. Part of it was needing to give him more attention the other part was this feed on schedule, instead of when they want to eat plus chew bones or something. She tried putting bigger rocks but that didn’t work either. Maybe that would help. I got him trained to be in the house more if she brings him in he’s very friendly but he gets this and that little stuff. Like a toddler you have to put everything up. It’s like one of those kind that when their tiny there so cute but when they get bigger they don’t pay as much attention to them so they’ll get attention one way or another. You either get them for life or you don’t get them at all.

He reminds me of some sort of flower child clueless of the dangers out there and invites them in. Something even red riding hood wouldn’t do. Then one day he’s called to do real work on economics that benefits both sides, something these politicians haven’t seen before because they let the shadow gov make all the decisions then take the credit, and now without them making decisions for him hes clueless. I suppose that’s what he’s working on now whining to the European cabal about no more free ride.

Signed some sort of document and the talking heads, some that if Kim bothered listening to them there would be no summit, are all up in speculation like they’re experts on the matter.
They swarmed around them like little fish following the bigger fish looking for scraps.
Maya glad the volcano is stable for now.
I saw that they are building mini homes for the evacuee’s about 10 by 10 but at least they have some sense privacy place to put there things and if any pets.

…or is that an Oxymoron? 🙂
What I mean is that we have reached a stable plateau in volcanic activity here. The fountains and flow to the sea are stable now, and the flow continues to drain the magma from the lower rift zone. Now we just keep a wary eye on the lava flow in case it breaks out in a new direction… but it has a well established river path. How long this will continue is anyones guess… but for now the pattern is stable.
The summit crater is cycling with a steam explosion about every day. The poor folks in nearby volcano village are subject to 3 magnitude jolts at the rate of several per hour sometimes all night long, before a steam explosion registers a 5.5 jolt locally. These are very shallow quakes caused by the deflation and subsidence of the crater. It is collapsing inward on itself since the lava lake drained away inside. Now the ‘steam cannon’ goes off about every day as rocks fall into the ‘firing chamber’ below. Interestingly, these jarring local quakes cannot be felt 10 miles away… they are that shallow and local. The hole in the caldera floor is getting bigger, and there are rings of cracks and slumping surrounding the Halemaumau crater area. How long this will continue is anyones guess… but for now the pattern is stable. The fear is that a large rockfall collapse could really plug the cannon for a much bigger explosion and ash cloud. But still nothing near Mt. St. Helens… strictly a shallow crater explosion here. I’m more than 20 miles away from that crater, so it does not affect me.
So life on the volcano has become boring, but watchful for me.

i have a whirlpool refrigerator that i bought in 1984. it still works great except for the automatic icemaker. i use very little ice, so that’s not a problem for me. thirty four years on a fridge (one move) never serviced.

Copy that Alex. I can tell you many similar stories of new fangled imported crap. But I’m shutting down now. Thanks for the comeback.

Which last only a few years , so I think if an American business would develop appliances with real long term value , they would sell . I have a GE fridge built domestically in 1983-84 which has been moved six times between three distant states ( SC to PA [4 moves there] to FL ) and which still runs flawlessly , and has NEVER been serviced .
Contrast that with a TV built in Asia , which cost over $7000 new ( LED , 4K , 3-D , etc.) which began to fail within two and a half years … just out of warranty.I am told the set is virtually irreparable because of the complexity and design .This from a company that once had an impeccable record of reliability in the 1960’s and 1970’s ! Once American manufacturers had been run out of business , the exporting companies cut back on reliability , apparently .

This is really amusing to me, because when they started sharing or contributing our jobs after 1970, even before, I think it started gradually in 1962 actually. There was no news on it. No announcements about tariffs on our exports, nothing about raising our corporate taxes to 35% to encourage moving off shore, nothing. News black out.
Behind the scenes they decided which Americans jobs or industries were going to be “donated”. They never gave us any info to prevent us from complaining and resisting. Now that they are starting to slightly reverse the giveaway, they are announcing it to the world and they are all complaining and making threats. Ingrates.
I wonder if we will ever make our own TV sets and cars again.
P.S. What they did to the USA was worse that 100,000 Obama cares’. And nobody complained. In fact what they did to us CAUSED the need for Obama care. Small businesses didn’t have enough profits to provide healthcare insurance and dropped it. That’s why there was so many uninsured.

You are right about anything sensitive on the Internet .

That sounds like a good one. There may be a better way to phrase it? Let me think on it.
I’m not sure everyone would be comfortable talking about physical holdings even though (as far as I know) it would be anonymous. What is truly anonymous on the internet?
Perhaps we could lump all PM investments together including mining shares etc.

He sounded like he was making some sense on that one.
Hell anyone would be angry if they’ve been holding PMs for the past few years. Let my people go! 🙂

It might be interesting to have an idea of the current dollar value ratio of Physical PM’s to all other cumulative ‘paper’ wealth – lumping stocks , bonds , cash , etc. into the denominator , among our forum members . Maybe categories of : Zero to 10% , 10+% to 25% , 25+% to 50% , 50+% to 100% ( 100% being equal dollar amounts ), 100+% to 150% , and over 150% ???
Since it is a secret ballot , we can be honest .
It would be interesting to see if others are , like me , far over-exposed to the PM’s .

Denninger sounds like he must’ve been holding a bunch of pm’s for the last seven years.
