Former JP Morgan trader pleads guilty to manipulating US metals markets for years.

This was a headline on CNBC.com. For lack of a better analogy, it makes me think of the girl in the red dress near the beginning of the Matrix. It would stand out if the individual took notice, but everyone is so immersed in the game, ( or the Matrix)  the charade that keeps investors heads buried in the sand.

No one cares about the metals markets; plain and simple.

Poll that’s never been wrong since 1946 signals GOP keeps House

Half of Americans believe that Republicans will maintain control of the House in the midterm elections Tuesday, according to Gallup’s final poll. The result of that question has lined up with the actual election outcome every time Gallup has asked it since 1946.

Fifty percent of Americans believe Republicans will stay in power in the House, while 44 percent believe Democrats will take control.

In a larger note of confidence, Americans also believe that Republicans will retain the majority in the Senate. Sixty-one percent say Republicans will hold power in the Senate following the elections, and 33 percent believe that Democrats will take control.

The poll concluded that Democrats are much more worried than Republicans about the outcome of the 2018 midterm elections.

Eighty-one percent of Democrats say they are very or somewhat worried about the fallout of a Republican controlled Congress, in either one or both chambers. On the other hand, 66 percent of Republicans say the same about a Democrat win in one or both houses.

Same pattern shaping up, as odds still comming in for Dems to gain House….now 77% to 23 %…this is what happened in 2016 …u got the best odds just as they were closing the betting mkts.

Agree 100 percent.

If you ever look in an encyclopedia at various countries, or states it shows the “workforce” section. Like Community, Social & personnel services, wholesale and retail, Government vendors and payrolls, Finance, Insurance, public transportation, etc.

But ONLY the manufacturing, farming, mining, and construction groups support all the others. All the others need or live off or need, manufacturing, farming, mining, and construction to live. A producer of any thing, can survive without an office or showroom, but an office or showroom can not exist without a producer.

The American people got scammed real good by the scum when the NON producers (overhead) “fired” domestic producers and gleefully hired foreign producers. Buying imports. That’s why as per all of Goldilocks many negative observations are here, and why Trump is here.

Nobody gave a CRAP about domestic producers except the producers. We need THINGS eat and drive more than we need the people that service things.

Yeah, I remember you saying that a couple of years ago about the small money vs. the big money tilt. Really hoping that it’s the same thing this year.

I mentioned earlier that I couldn’t bear to watch the next couple of years if Dims took the House. Not because I worry about any big policy shifts but because the Dims are such a vile, lying breed of vipers and they would be batshit crazy going after Trump.

Tks re Rasmussen.

Political betting is wide open to abuse, as now they just have Algo’s making the odds based off the weight of money. So if u want to make ur person/party favourite, just put lots on money on them, but as the mkt is small it is probably way less than a prime time add, to get people calling your way.

It was so biased in 2016 one of the Bookies actually let it out, that they were getting a few very large bets on Hillary, but loads of small ones for the Donald, but the large bets outweighed the small ones heavily…

Paddy Power an Irish bookmaker paid out on Hillary, before the vote and then had to pay out on the Donald….it cost ’em @ $ 6 million…..they took ages to pay me…apparently it was one of the biggest ever losses !!!!!

Re And a whole bunch of other unproductive “wisdom”, transformed to debt and death.
Yep The abortions tell you things they did for poor intercity weren’t productive just increasing poverty and crime so the left who pretends their the good guys rather import workers. That’s what they’re doing.
The incompetent leaders who caused this are using race as a crutch and inciting riots and assaults are just cementing the picture of thuggery and backwardation. Just plain insanity. They are using them to stay in power but they’re NOT the good guys, their con artists who accuse others of what they are and now trying to take credit for what someone else like Trump did they will try to reverse. They need someone else to punish for their corruption and mismanagement.
Identity politics can’t look at policy’s or deeds that damaged the economy and distracts their incompetence and failure.

I know, dumbed down black men with assault-riffles posing around the polling stations trying to look tough.where did they get the money since they apparently don’t have day jobs, drugs? They don’t educate themselves and believe the hype. All their concerned about it what are you gonna give me. They don’t care about the jobs. They want welfare and remodeled free housing projects according to other blacks.
They are no longer a civil rights party but a racist group. Black Panthers vs KKK see the hypocrisy.
A Ex Panther was on tv the other day. He said this is the new BP, a party of kittens, not the old BP. He also mentioned Farrakhan and said nobody listens to him.
Why aren’t they being arrested? They’re probably going to do the same thing as last time. Wait till it’s over then pretend they’re doing something about it. Aparty of cowards.

Rasmussen has the Republicans holding the House.

They were the only major polling organization that called it right with Trump in 2016

Tks…..never sure to trust the SM anymore, as the scum hardly ever let it trade properly.

Just look at Au today….why dump it in front of a Dem ( according to the bookies) victory. More likely is they want to take out that last 24 dollar rally..in a thin mkt….

are saying Dems win the House….percentage is 73.% versus 25.3 %…has inched out during the morning was @ 71.50 for Dems.

But that is weight of money……have backed the GoP to hold House at @ 5 to 2.

If the Dems win the House this country is screwed.

Now Wall St. loves Trump-and the stock mkt is up 109 DOW points indicating that that Repubs win both houses–gold is down $4 on very light volume

I put this to you: If the Dems win the House, gold could be up $50 or more in the morning and HOLD the gain Wed morn at 9:30 am–[and the dollar down hard…personally, I think the Repubs hold the House and senate]

if one wanted a “volatility” trade–IN SIZE– before the election–he, she, or it, could easily spend. $5K-$10K-$15K on stock etf calls or puts….so, again, by default-if one wants  the  cheapest vehicle…gold is the choice–and the cheapest form would be the  Nov 9 JNUG calls–one should only buy expecting an explosive reaction=hence, no need to buy anything near the money–either it zooms or u eat the trade…there is the $8.50 call at 8 cents or the 9.00 call at 4 cents…Le choix est le votre!

Thous shall not pass…easy with no limit Vol, we could all do that.

Canada’s Barrick Gold (TSX, NYSE:ABX), which last month announced it was buying Randgold Resources (LON:RRS) in a $6.1-billion deal, is said to have resumed talks with rival Newmont Mining (NYSE:NEM) aimed at merging their gold operations in Nevada, US.

“They have been trying to negotiate for years but Newmont couldn’t agree with Barrick, now that you have a new management team, it’s certain they revived those talks,” anonymous sources told Reuters.

ensuring all the early gains in pm’s have been erased just before the SM opens despite a weaker USD

It just never ends…
