like yesterday, although gold is down 6.70, PM stocks/ETFs are only down minimally in the pre-mkt…in any other mkt,. one might conclude that gold is “sold out” and it’s time to start to accumulate…u wanna take that bet?

Xi Sends Trump A Message: Rare-Earth Export Ban Is Coming
Comment: I was afraid it would come to this. The Chinese have us over a barrel here. DID YOU KNOW: Your flatscreen LCD screens all have rare earth films coating the active parts of the screen. Recycle tham!

The gold volatility index moved to new lows this year and it is not a one-time event. There were already two moves below the 2017 and 2018 lows and the current move lower is the third attempt to slide even lower. The 50-day moving average is also at the levels that haven’t been seen previously.
What does it mean? It most likely means lower gold prices.

REMX – No doubt the Chinese has the upper hand when it comes to rare earths. I think we import something like 80% of our rare earths from China which really hurts our Aerospace industry among others. China is smart to threaten this, because of our wonderful EPA the rare earths are plentiful but hard to mine. REMX could have a way to run, unless a trade deal happens.
Silver – has been down for 3 months now, sucks to high heaven but might be ready for a one or two day bounce. Just a hunch, we’ll see.

We can best see gold’s potential giant base pattern on a 10-year chart. It can be described as a complex Head-and-Shoulders bottom or as a Saucer, and is best considered to be both, or perhaps as a hybrid having the characteristics of both patterns. In any event, as we can see on this chart, it appears to be drawing close to breaking out of it, which will be a very big deal if it happens, because a base pattern of this magnitude can support a massive bullmarket. As for timing it could take several months and it is most likely to happen during gold’s seasonally strong period from July through September. To maintain the bullish case it must stay above the Saucer boundary.

Embedded within the giant H&S or Saucer base pattern, a fine Cup & Handle base has formed over the past year which we can see to advantage on the 1-year chart. The Handle part of this pattern may be regarded as a period of consolidation / reaction that has allowed time both for the earlier overbought condition arising from the rally from November through February to unwind and also for the moving averages to slowly swing into a much more favorable alignment, which has now happened.

On both of the above charts the drop late last week looks like “a storm in a teacup”

FYI 7.37% Break out on REMX, a rare earth ETF. Huge volume too. Dollar volume over $40 million. Supposedly China has an advantage with them, and some trade disagreements may be the reason.

I’m thinking SLV might be a good bet now. The bid side is a lot more than the ask side. In other words, the bid side orders are waiting for a one penny drop to get filled. And they are building up ad not getting filled. The ask or sell side is very little compared to the buy side.

Do they want war or too stupid to know it. No mention of arrests and deportations. They need to get that fool out and get a strong leader in like Italy did and fast.

THE MASSIVE 46 STORY TALL STRUCTURE: The Penasquito Mine Tailings Dam
Capitalist Exploits’s blog
7-9 minutes
By the SRSrocco Report,
The colossal Penasquito Mine’s tailings dam will reach a stunning height of a 46 story skyscraper over the next decade. That is, if the mine reopens and is allowed to continue business as usual. Newmont-Goldcorp suspended operations at Mexico’s second largest silver mine on April 29th, due to a blockade stemming from issues with the local community in regards to water supply concerns and problems with a trucking contractor……

In Turkey, Many Celebrated As Notre Dame Burned
•The official Facebook page of Turkey’s pro-government daily, Sabah, for example, is filled with praise for the destruction of the cathedral.
•Sadly, Islamic supremacism not only targets the churches of Western Christians. It targets Yazidi, Zoroastrian, Buddhist and Hindu temples too. These religious minorities in the Muslim world are completely vulnerable, defenseless and severely persecuted…. In many Muslim countries, Muslim-on-Muslim violence is also quite commonplace. The Islamic hatred of different religious groups is not about geography — the East or the West. It is about religious faith.
•What is heartbreaking is that arson and other forms of desecration of churches have been going on in France and other countries on a regular basis, with barely a mention by the media or Western governments.

Yes it was in the right place. The cat was only 7 and saw he died of complications of a UTI. For a million dollar cat he didn’t get very good care but can’t pre judge.

That goes a long way in explaining the blatant, in your face, price action last week – Action that assured that Venezuela would get the least amount of dollars for their gold ….with the bonus of crushing the building gold positive sentiment.
The link below has a great explanation by a derivatives trader on how derivatives set the price of gold contrary to normal price discovery.
Mannarino does a terrific job explaining how, and why, we are getting screwed …and what needs to be done to correct the problem.
I started out only intending to watch a few minutes of the interview, but I ended up listening to the entire thing . He hits on almost every point and he is exactly right on. It is well worth one’s time – I hope it gets spread far and wide.

Venezuela sold about $570 million in gold from central bank reserves over the past two weeks, skirting U.S. Treasury sanctions designed to freeze assets of the Nicolas Maduro’s administration, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
Caracas sold about 9.7 tons of gold on May 10 and an additional 4 tons three days after, the people said. The operations helped the bank’s total reserves to fall to a 29-year low of $7.9 billion, according to data provided by the monetary authority. The proceeds will be partly used to fund imports through the country’s foreign trade office, according to one of the people.
A central bank press official didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment on the sales.

Trying to remember the last time McEwen was right about the gold price. I’m sure it’s been over a decade now. I’ve put a lot of faith in McEwen, both in his forecasts and in his shares. Shame on me.
Then again, I did the same thing with Sinclair. I really don’t think either of them were prepared for the level of Fed manipulation they were going to be up against.
Gold is truly the only asset, besides maybe silver, that the central banks cannot allow to compete with their fiat currencies. Besides being able to destroy the metals with paper, they can also destroy the shares with paper.
There are no markets, just manipulations. I almost feel sorry for McEwen, but he’s in a lot better shape than his shareholders. Same with Sinclair.
