You might have a good Monday if stocks finish lower today.

Because how can they print money / lower rates if so many jobs are being created.

Factor in the coronavirus spreading over the weekend and the fact the Fed’s balance sheet is contracting now and Monday could be ugly.

Everything is crossed.

Banro dangling Congo gold mine to best bidder

Canada’s Banro Corporation will put its Namoya gold mine in eastern Congo up for sale, at significant discount, after repeated attacks from armed rebels forced it to halt operations once again in September.

The Toronto-based miner, present in eastern DRC since the 1990s, said the decision to offload Namoya was based on the lack of government support to keep its staff and assets safe.

Banro had a challenging run that nearly ended in bankruptcy three years ago. The government had confiscated its licenses during a civil war that killed five million people, returning them in 2002 as the conflict drew to a close.

Banro sold last month its other mine in Congo — Twangiza — for just $1 because the asset’s liabilities exceeded projected revenue.

In the following years, the company built its Twangiza and Namoya mines. The latter has been since then the target of multiple attacks, including the kidnapping of employees, which led the cash-strapped company to halt operations in 2017.

and the mkt could end down an ole 400-600pt…and monday will not be a reversal cause the virus is back in the news and the news is horrific…another scenario would be the mkt is down all day within the current range– than has a whistling past the graveyard finish either side of  the unchanged line…that would all but guarantee a big down monday.

Haven’t we been told the FED, with a few keystrokes, can save the mkts from any unpleasantness? maybe the FED will step in and buy the down opening–V-bottom the mkt–and send it screaming higher…

What’s this! Near 40% of their population is locked down. Wow!

A Stunning 400 Million People Are On Lockdown In China As Guangzhou Joins Quarantine

Guangzhou, the capital of China’s southwestern Guangdong Province and the country’s fifth largest city with nearly 15 million residents, has just joined the ranks of cities imposing a mandatory lockdown on all citizens, effectively trapping residents inside their homes, with only limited permission to venture into the outside world to buy essential supplies.

The decision means 3 provinces, 60 cities and 400 million people are now facing China’s most-strict level of lockdown as Beijing struggles to contain the coronavirus outbreak as the virus has already spread to more than 2 dozen countries

Especially after the move the SM has had this week.

SM initially bounced on the jobs numbers but now slipping lower than before the report.

You could see another ugly Friday like last week.

Jobs Report Big Beat but….

225 K vs. 154K est.

but… unemployment rate rose to 3.6% from 3.5% – go figure

Unemployment rate might keep us in the game for the day, who knows?

Buygold–so far so good–now, if I can survive the jobs report-it is expected to be

Posted by Richard640 @ 8:20 on February 7, 2020  

strong–maybe a blockbuster–so it is unusual for futures to be down…i think if they pop on the news they could reverse–also overnight, a cruise shipped is quarantined in New Jersey–a dozen people have “lung ailments”–so the poor souls on that ship will have to be there 36 to 48 hours until the cultures show whether it’s the corona virus…I mentioned yesterday that the virus story could come back into the news…also why r they buying bonds? The bond turn started yesterday…anyway…cajones crossed!

THE MORNING LINE Booming U.S. Consumption ‘a Mystery’

THE MORNING LINE

Booming U.S. Consumption ‘a Mystery’

Rick Ackerman February 6, 2020 9:38 pm

What’s powering the U.S. economy? ‘It’s a mystery,’ concludes a think-piece by Noah Smith posted Wednesday at Bloomberg.com. He ultimately settles on a boring economic environment as the main reason why U.S. consumers continue to spend. While we may be living in all-too-interesting times from a geopolitical standpoint, the U.S. economy is arguably on a modest glide path, with no misguided Fed policies, oil price spikes or wild speculation to trigger a recession.  Of course, the eternal optimists who nurture and sponsor bull markets have voiced similar thoughts just ahead of every recession that has ever occurred, so we should probably take what they are saying now with a grain of salt. Stocks are priced, if not for perfection, then for expectations that nothing will go seriously wrong. Paradoxically, the worst thing that could actually could go wrong, and eventually will, is the onset of a bear market. It is predictable that it will begin for reasons that will not be apparent until we are all waist-deep in it.

We came from a generation where we were encouraged to be exposed to a certain amount of germs at least for that reason and viruses. The big fear was polio but as for the others many kids were purposely exposed as to “ get it over with while young. Mumps in adult males can be a problem as well as measles and German measles in pregnant women.
They did however learn to boil water for babies or if unsure for all and sterilize bottles.
As far as the germs prior to waste management, clean water, “ if not filled with fluoride and run off chemicals” sewer systems then antibiotics child death rates were very high.
A lot of weird stuff from back then that was man thought up that killed kids like formulas that weren’t formulas that killed them as nature knows best and wet nurse who wealthy men would dump their baby’s to free up their wife where they were lucky if they got their own baby back instead of another because theirs starved or died of neglect so they just handed them another one.

Re: “Like sewer systems instead of dumping things in the streets and water ways like dead butchered animals that probably attracted rats too. I can imagine the smell of old European towns back when. No Clean water, No hand washing, No regulation in food industry.”

Comment. On the positive side it must have been survival of the fittest immune systems in people, and we are the descendants of those people, so maybe we don’t have to worry so much, and let survival of the fittest prevail? 🙂

Below George Carlin re GERMS. Note bad language or profanity for 6 minutes, but funny.

Yeah, pretty good day today. Have to get through the jobs report tomorrow which is usually tough, but considering the USD strength, we had a good day.

We don’t seem to want to blast higher, but we don’t seem to want to get crushed either.

Vaccines could do good if they “were safe” and didn’t have a trade off of death and adverse effects.
A lot of diseases have been eradicated by knowledge of where it comes from. Like sewer systems instead of dumping things in the streets and water ways like dead butchered animals that probably attracted rats too. I can imagine the smell of old European towns back when. Clean water, hand washing, regulation in food industry.
Others still around.

Suns good except in winter probably wouldn’t hurt to take supplements maybe not as high as 50K units but best to do your yearly tests in winter to see if you need them. As people get older too absorption by the sun might be inhibited too so good, so good to check. The doctor said mines good so far without supplements although I took a little bit not much being surrounded by the flu. It’s going from one person exposed to the next. At this point it will be a miracle if I don’t get it too.

@Goldilocks, Agreed I Don’t Like Vaccines Either

I was only implying the Mexican “bad” news may have been exaggerated , like the gov’t media “good” news. They fight each other.

I feel all us humans only need to ingest flood and water. Like all the other creatures roaming the planet. I don’t believe in vitamins supplements or any medical care until there is a problem and its needed. Like an aspirin after getting a head ache. Or a vitamin D pill if the Dr. says you’re too low.

In fact I went for check up after about 20 years, even more may have been 30 years. 30 years ago Dr. said my cholesterol was 240, and found trace of blood in urine. Wants me to go on cholesterol drugs and take a test with radiation, and go on a diet.

So I call Marie a nurse. She askes me do you drink a lot of water? No. So forget about the blood, you are “concentrated”.  And don’t worry about the 240, that used to be normal. Why didn’t the Dr. say that?

So here I am 30 years later, and new Dr. great guy, tells people not to worry things and spends an hour with you. He said my cholesterol was 219,”But LOOK, your good cholesterol is off the chart” so it kind of makes up for the “borderline” number. “Just eat less fatty foods.” No drugs.

He made me take a prescription one per week vitamin pill, 50,000 I think it was.  After three weeks I had to stop, it was giving me pimples. So I spent more time in the sun, of which a little goes a long way. Anything in moderation is good or not so bad.

Ever since I saw a forensic files episode one night, where a woman was putting small amounts of arsenic in his soup, to make him die, it took a long time. At that point, I realized, we don’t really NEED to eat Organic all the time. We can handle small amounts of bad things.
