As old. Ed Hart of the old FNN used to say=we may be going to hell in a handbasket but. we’ll trade all the way there…

Futures on commodities and used options as insurance ..example 1 contract SEPT Soybeans with minimum  down the risk is high ,so I used a  in the money PUT option of the same expiration month as insurance against loss.

It worked very well for me.40 years ago before computer trading and cheap commissions ..

I ran into some crooks in Chicago that I couldent get confirmations on time ..it would be hours before I could get what price I paid..it was so bad I had to ask for a transcript of the tape  ..I would always pay the high price of the day .,,crooks..with computers and self trading without brokers things got better in most places..I got out of Chicago and stayed with NY,better the crooks you know ,than the ones you dont know..hehe.

Chicago was so bad I wouldent trade without a in the money put and same expiration month   as insurance ..

Not to impune the GREAT brokers out there,you just need to stay with those you know are honest..

I had a wonderful broker in NY,but they didnt do Commodities back then ….

I get it ..Im not used to watching the strike price  and how far from being in the money ..thats an option traders necessity ..

Im not criticizing ,just trying to understand the thinking…

Bit coin looks headed up,Gold looks still positive,toppy,Silver slightly up,DOLLAR headed UP…

my techinc on CDE gave me a buy on june 3 @ 3.00  ,a sell on 6-28 @ 4.34,a sell on jul 5 @ 4.27 ..always trying to better my system by learning what someone else point of view is and why..always learning…something new..

but since I didnt have any money on it ,thats always easy ,isnt it  !  The best way to learn decipline is to have some money at risk ..hehe.. I appreciate your sharing what you do …thanks

two full weeks for cde to move up just 9 cents to be. at. the money…I might get back in tomorrow

yes, the stocks rallied friday–also gold was down 20 at one point–so the potential is there…I am still long 1000 aug 19 calls. on MUX and NGD–total cost 5400–5 bucks a piece–so I still have skin in. the. game

Platinum appears to be confirming the previous low as some kind of bottom.  Gold and JNUG are still holding and silver seems to be bringing up the rear. Volume in silver is sneaking up gradually.

The inverted yield curve may be screaming hard times ahead. Never, ever ignore an inverted yield curve . I still have deep financial scars from “ this time is different”.

rno, who has made the same mistake under every conceivable different circumstance!

is the shit Hole of the world right now.but that wouldent be a problem if it werent for all the money there and the influence of the Israelis . I had a plan some time ago that would give everybody there FREE Nuclear Power ,free electricity for all .Then if that still didnt bring peace they could NUKE each other and make the whole DAMM place radioactive for a thousand years .Including Israel  …Iran seems to be developing my plan …so now you know how it ends…

I doubt that anybody there could manage Nuclear Power without accidents or spiteful sabotage  !

The Muslims are too crazy and the Israelis too devious ….

There are other shit Holes in the world that dont pose any threats ,no oil ,no crazy religious threats ,no influence.

I totally agree with you ..I dont trade options ,but I do watch closely ,i was wondering what you were thinking on that last trade .I suspected some weakness on cde .now I know….My system told me three or 4 days ago was the buy time .

I have a very good timing device ,but  cant watch options as closely as needed …maybe im getting too old !  haha.

My eyes get to burning from too much screen time..dry eyes …Have tried every type of eye lube ,but I think im allergic to the preservative in it all..

The shares do seem resilient today. If we are on the verge of a multi year run which is certainly possible then you gotta be bonkers to throw your PM shares away.

A little back and filling is normal even without the cretin effers.

“Iran-Backed” Attack On Merchant Ship In Red Sea Thwarted: Saudi Coalition

But as Buygold said, no water fall collapses, …..so far, we are holding in a high consolidation area…that is good.

However time decay means u have to be very nimble ….I’m giving this move a lot more time.

This could. potentially be a very negative day…gol and silver were incapble of sustaining an. early comeback rally that looked like an ideal set up for a good day…

make sure Au is on its lows….and they hit GDXJ for nearly 1 % in the last 4 mins.

Plus even if Powell is doveish, it will have to rally from a lower price.

almost everything else in the pm space is looking pretty solid and strengthening into the close.

That’ll work.

$1400 after the close works for me!

What I think would be really great though is if you won the lotto!!

Guys, I think the action particularly in the shares today is downright solid.

Normally, this might be a day when they would crush the shares despite the mild move down in gold, but not today. I like what I’m seeing in the shares, especially with the gold and the SM down, and the USD up a little.

Thinking maybe we get a nice bump when Powell opens his yap tomorrow in front of Congress. Maybe he’ll be dovish???

Keeping ‘everything’ crossed .

Winterthur is one place I have not yet seen…but would like to .

the resilience in gold is still pretty impressive.

The scum seems to be having a tough time creating waterfall declines these days. I know they were able to do it Friday on a thinly traded holiday weekend, but not so much today, although the USD isn’t up all that much.
