Not too bad. Head into the dessert from Calif and you’ll see signs like next gas station 100 miles and weather can be in three digits. Few years back a male friend went with me for a short trip to Vegas. He was buying the gas on the way there. I decided I’ll pay on the way back case he loses his money. Before turning off to the mountains toward the dessert I said maybe get gas now.
He said which is typical of a lot of men less your close to empty to wait till the last minute. Knowing there wouldn’t be a gas station for a while I looked at the gas and decided I could make it till the next station. As we headed up the hill he saw the signs they put up AFTER the last gas station that next one 100 miles or so. I decided to tell him were probably going to run out of gas and IF we get to the next one it will probably be much more expensive which it was. We passed people stuck on the road and I said that will be us on a few more miles messing with his head.
He said I told you to stop at that last station. NO HE DIDNT! Lol We made it but instead of using wear and tear on my car I rented one pretty cheap.

I’ve never been to Hawaii before but I did go look at the Saddle today on google earth pro. To my surprise it looks like 2/3 of the island is not buildable upon.

There was a long line sped up by a guy taking orders at the car window.
Talked to the girl in the window. She said it’s been non stop packed since yesterday.
Meanwhile I won’t be buying Starbucks I guess since they donated to the Demos.

I just went out Ordered 35 dollars of food.

Maybe the beginning negotiations of limiting their ever expanding tax dependent federal workers they call job creation while crushing real jobs in the private sector. They should also privatize TSA. People pay enough for a plane ticket and don’t even feed them anymore they shouldn’t have to pay for their security too even if they opt out of flying.
I don’t know why the Repubs don’t ask the Demos if they wanna get rid of ICE why not TSA. Just go full rogue. Because their full of it.

The Commitment of Traders Report

Silver

*The large specs reduced their long positions by 4,888 contracts and increased their shorts by 4,552 contracts.

*The commercials decreased their longs by 3,824 contracts and reduced their shorts by 12,659 contracts.

*The small specs reduced their longs by 562 contracts and reduced their shorts by 1,167 contracts

GOLD

*The large specs reduced their long positions by 6,130 contracts and decreased their shorts by 11,777 contracts.

*The commercials reduced their longs by 948 contracts and increased their shorts by 5,629 contracts.

*The small specs increased their longs by 613 contracts and decreased their shorts by 317 contracts.

This report shows the commercials to be slightly long silver, which is a rarity to say the least.

They should also privatize Social Security. These scum bag thrives resent other people’s money want to drag them down. They want debt slaves not independent people or deservedly retired after years of hard work esp the blue collar with savings above the real inflation curve. These scum shouldn’t be allowed to touch their money, it’s paid into not welfare.

Commercials now net long silver – never seen that. Gold going the other way but not by much. Looks like the funds threw in the towel on a lot of their shorts last Friday.

Well see if this is actually a viable indicator, this wasn’t a great week for pm’s.

Who cares what they think. Trump knows and trying to help the people. It’s more than that. They DONT want people passing it on to their heirs. Why there’s a mandate on having to draw it out. Trump is also trying to increase the age as well of drawing it. There should also be no penalties drawing it in serious illness or job loss.
Fact is they should have it and be able to have options. If if you think the housing market gonna drop you don’t wanna be stuck in housing stocks so there should be multi baskets of funds and savings options for a 08 scenario. Because at some point, usually more than once workers saving for years will give it back or scared into cashing out with no options.
It will also teach people to be more aware of the economy and how Demos and some Rinos can be detrimental to it and their survival.

Thanks for the info. I constantly sit on some S&W

Why not defined benefit? Defined payout guaranteed by tax payers? Like Gov’t pensions? TPTB only cared about themselves in the past. Ask ourselves. Why do they care amout the little people now? Why do they care about the millions small businesses now? What are they afraid of? A USA plus global Venezuela? The failure of global socialism?  Like the 2008 crisis. Take from the USA was fine until we ran out of money for them to spend. TPTB are throwing us a bone but acting like we’re getting a steak, Porter house T bone.

also Cabelas going private with offer to be bought by “privately” owned  Bass Pro SHops

To small businesses, that’s good. I think they should have a list of 401K funds and savings for anyone that doesn’t have that option. You have a 40 yr old for instance in a small town who worked the same job since 18-19 years old that could of invested in a 401K they would have a nice rainy day fund to draw on already and in the absence of tax dependent pensions.
There are some who have a option for them but they can only invest in that company no other companies or option savings if you think the market is going to correct but don’t want to cash out just save your gains from losses like going to cash within the 401K.
In other words a 401K investment portfolio with multi choices of stocks or savings for people this option is not offered to.

Back in the 1970s that have wage freezes on tax payers. So a reversal suggests a wage freeze on tax absorbers. Simple. The Propaganda Press back then taught everybody the United Auto Workers Union employees were getting paid too much and ruining the country. High tax payer wages were blamed for inflation, instead of them dropping the gold standard in ’71.

These days are complaining about too low and “stagnant” taxpayer wages. Tax absorber wages are too high. A reversal of that is in order.

Is it any wonder with Dems acting like Anarchists  ..Obama set it in motion ….and now its got legs….Protect yourself.

Government cant….

Good luck with it! I wish my broker made it easier to buy Australian shares.

President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he was canceling pay raises for most federal employees that had been set to go into effect in January, citing government budget concerns.

In a letter to House and Senate leaders, Trump wrote that he’d decided “across-the-board” pay raises as well as locality pay raises for civilian federal workers in 2019 would be frozen.

“I have determined that for 2019, both across‑the‑board pay increases and locality pay increases will be set at zero,” he wrote. “These alternative pay plan decisions will not materially affect our ability to attract and retain a well‑qualified Federal workforce,” Trump added.

In the letter, Trump said a 25.7-percent pay raise for localities, as well as a 2.1-percent pay increase for across-the-board pay, both scheduled for January 2019, would add billions to the federal deficit. Specifically, he pointed to the scheduled locality pay raise as costing $25 billion

Hi Ipso,

That’s my baby – retirement fund, funny  how the price kept low until my divorce was finalized :).

Northern Star raised the money through institutional and sophisticated investors

I’m not the least surprised that they did not want to involve average shareholder, ( reduced cost and speed) plus they would have sold it down for 2% profit.

I guess considering the strength it could be a lot worse in the pm sector

Venezuela’s efforts to stay afloat financially have suffered another blow after a judge in the US gave a Canadian mining company permission to seize the shares of the Venezuelan holding company that owns Citgo, a US oil refiner. The judge on Thursday ruled that Canada’s Crystallex has the right to claim the shares of PDV Holding Inc to compensate it for around $1.4bn it is owed by the Venezuelan state. The case dates back to 2011 when Venezuela nationalised Las Cristinas, a gold reserve owned by Crystallex. The Canadian company took Venezuela to the World Bank’s international arbitration tribunal ICSID and won, but Venezuela refused to pay up.
