U.S. Escalates Online Attacks on Russia’s Power Grid

WASHINGTON — The United States is stepping up digital incursions into Russia’s electric power grid in a warning to President Vladimir V. Putin and a demonstration of how the Trump administration is using new authorities to deploy cybertools more aggressively, current and former government officials said.

In interviews over the past three months, the officials described the previously unreported deployment of American computer code inside Russia’s grid and other targets as a classified companion to more publicly discussed action directed at Moscow’s disinformation and hacking units around the 2018 midterm elections.

I’m going to bookmark that since they seem to be bragging about previous calls.

We’ll see what really happens.

I can tell you that huge moves are about to start unfolding not only in metals, or stocks but globally and some of these super cycles are going to last years. These super cycles starting to take place will go into 2020 and beyond which we lay out in our new book/guide: 2020 Cycles – The Greatest Opportunity Of Your Lifetime

Precious Metals: T-Minus 3 Seconds To Liftoff

The longest engagement on record was between Octavio Guillan and Adriana Martinez. They finally took the plunge after 67 years in June 1969 in Mexico City.

Did you get any pictures of the Rock?
I wonder if the UK will no longer have that territory after the BritExit. Seems complicated.

Ps I wonder if you two hold the world record for waiting a few years.

ANSWER: The only time gold has rallied significantly is when the CONFIDENCE in government declines. That was the case during the post-1976 era for people saw inflation as running away. That was because of OPEC creating STAGFLATION meaning it was cost-push inflation that eventually converted to demand-push inflation by mid-1979. I understand that all of these gold-bug analysts have been preaching hyperinflation for decades. The whole Quantitative Easing (QE) was supposed to create $10,000 gold years ago. Here, after 10 years of QE, gold remains trapped in a consolidation.

Gold will be the hedge against political uncertainty and government ONLY when the people reach that critical point of losing faith in government. We are at the 35% level where people believe the government is the number one problem. When that crosses the 45% mark, things will start to become different. This has nothing to do with the quantity of money. Most millennials use their phones to buy things or credit cards – not cash. The idea of gold as a store of value has faded between generations. The worst thing you could do is judge the world by what you believe. Everyone will act only on their own reasoning and belief system.

I wonder if they will really back it.

Will Basel-III Changing Gold’s Status as a Reserve Asset for Banks Change the Future?

Mexican protesters agreed to lift a blockade at Newmont Goldcorp’s Penasquito mine on Friday, according to a government document seen by Reuters, ending a standoff that led to the mine stopping production for more than a month.

An official at the Interior Ministry, which issued the document signed by protesters and company representatives, confirmed its authenticity.

He states:

 “The US Neocons would do well to heed the old saying “People who live in glasshouses shouldn’t throw stones” – the key to neutralizing them is to dedollarize, collapse the dollar and starve the US military – industrial complex of the torrent of foreign funds that it depends on for its power. The rest of the world knows this and, after making sure that they are able to defend themselves militarily (in the case of the major powers), are taking steps to dump the dollar and push it off its perch. This of course will be a huge driver for gold, especially as most other currencies are also in a parlous state.”

I agree with him here but we really don’t see the wholesale dumping of dollars, even with rates falling and an inverted yield curve. I’m not sure the rest of the world has enough strength or stomach to dismount the dollar.

“The Market is Almost Always Wrong About What the Fed Will Do”: Chart

We have learnt from a mistake made early in 2016 when we called the end to the strong rally in progress then off the lows of the giant complex Head-and-Shoulders pattern too early due to high Commercial short and Large Sec long positions.

*************************************************************************

A key point to make at this juncture is that the latest COTs for gold looked bearish because there was an explosion in Commercial short and Large Spec long positions to an at least 1-year peak, which many are taking to mean that gold will fail again at the big resistance at the upper boundary of its huge base pattern. But what may instead happen this time is that gold breaks out anyway, perhaps after backing off a little first, and rockets higher, with positions ballooning to well off the scale levels, which would hardly be surprising since if gold breaks out above $1400 a huge number of investors and traders will come down off the fence and pile in. When they have reached wild extremes on a spike, then we will see a correction or at least a consolidation before the next upwave starts.

Thanks for the welcome. No, was not in sugar.

Welcome back!

Have been here and never left gold.  Will never forget your tip on gold options, if I remember right $600.

Bought 20 and road. Thanks again King.

Deer79 – They can and do hit this stuff whenever they want. Today was obvious, HUI got up near two previous highs with an RSI over 70 and it was obviously toast. gold hits the nice round number of $1350 and toast as well.

As for “King Richard” he’s a good trader and I have little doubt that he was tits short for the obvious.

COT’s are even worse if that is possible, so look out below. Back to $1280 is my guess, war of any kind, whether trade or real is always bad for pm’s.

They had to come in today, or the whole world will be looking at the Gold breakout..and that just can’t be allowed with all the debt that is out there and the SM at near record Hi’s. The mirage must be maintained or the people will wake up and wonder what the hell the idiots have done.

This week in the UK our dead duck PM, Treason May has enacted a policy into law that says the UK will be Carbon neutral by 2050, there was no parliamentary discussion allowed, she just issued the edict and parliament agreed, even her own Chancellor thinks it’s mad and said it will cost at least £ 1 Trillion, close down all our heavy industry, force all home owners to use only electric power, only electric vehicles, no more diesel lorries etc etc….

In a sane world our stock mkt should have collapsed…but tks to the rig it barely blinked …
