Perhaps it will take better looking profits to get the miners going. Even with these higher prices some companies aren’t making a profit. Later when things really get going there’ll be more speculation on higher gold prices.
TGCDF has been a good one for me. SKREF too although it is more risky.

I’ve watched a lot of these ex divi dates. Less in a parabolic move or bull market the usual is people get in before the ex date as it moves up and sell before or just before the ex date and make more money than buying it just before or on the ex date because by then people are selling and the loss in selling the shares after is greater than the divi. You have a greater potential for gains buying before the ex date just in the share price.

Ya know? If we had it to do all over again, the physical gold was a better bet. Triple spot UGLD is up 130% from late 2018 and up 100% up from late May. Our mining shares seem to pay some attention to the Dow headwind, rather than Gold itself.

Ex div dates today and tomorrow on them. What are you guys happy with? Any good tickers? Pass them on. SAND royalty I have is ok, I have some KNTNF, and Palladium SBSW I’m happy with running flat lately.

A pinch of gold is the key ingredient in a new coating that promises to be a major boost to the battle against infections. The substance could help halt disease in its tracks if applied to phones, keyboards and hospital equipment.
The coating is a significant breakthrough, because its light-activated technology successfully kills bacteria in a low light intensity, such as is found in hospital wards and waiting rooms. Previous efforts had required light that was ten times stronger to prove effective.
A new study says that, along with phone screens and keyboards, the bacteria-killing coating should be applied to the inside of catheters and breathing tubes, which are a major source of healthcare-associated infections.
The clever coating is made of tiny clusters of chemically modified gold that are embedded in a polymer with crystal violet — a dye with antibacterial and antifungal properties.

I believe this sign was from Costco. Some of the smaller stores are in better shape.

I don’t watch the open interest but I hope you’re right.
They’ve still got their shackles on silver, but I guess if it ever gets unleashed it will move up in a big way.
Shares will be lucky to be flat today.

I don’t think the PPT expected another round of selling the SM like this. Are they out of ammo? Retreating to new ground?
Stay tuned! 🙂

Israeli scientists: ‘In a few weeks, we will have coronavirus vaccine’
Once the vaccine is developed, it will take at least 90 days to complete the regulatory process and potentially more to enter the marketplace.
For the past four years, a team of MIGAL scientists has been developing a vaccine against infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), which causes a bronchial disease affecting poultry. The effectiveness of the vaccine has been proven in preclinical trials carried out at the Veterinary Institute.
In preclinical trials, the team demonstrated that the oral vaccination induces high levels of specific anti-IBV antibodies, Katz said.
“Let’s call it pure luck,” he said. “We decided to choose coronavirus as a model for our system just as a proof of concept for our technology.”
But after scientists sequenced the DNA of the novel coronavirus causing the current worldwide outbreak, the MIGAL researchers examined it and found that the poultry coronavirus has high genetic similarity to the human one, and that it uses the same infection mechanism, which increases the likelihood of achieving an effective human vaccine in a very short period of time, Katz said.
“All we need to do is adjust the system to the new sequence,” he said. “We are in the middle of this process, and hopefully in a few weeks we will have the vaccine in our hands. Yes, in a few weeks, if it all works, we would have a vaccine to prevent coronavirus.”

Ya did you see that big move on Tuesday with only a minimal increase in Comex gold open interest?
Does this mean the asshole bankers are not willing to play the suppression game anymore because they know it’s about to blow up in their face. (because they can’t control the effects of the real world coronavirus)
Me thinks this might be the case.
So bring it on.

Gold trying to bust $1650 – scum keeping it at bay. Silver being silver, up a bit but nothing much.
SM set to give up at least half of yesterday’s gains. PM shares looking shaky at best.
Ten Yr @ .957% edit: didn’t notice the USD is getting clipped pretty good too.
SM may force the Fed to cut another 50 bps at their meeting.
Jobs report tomorrow. I’m ready for another $50 up day in gold.

When I was about 16 I think I read what I thought was a horrific story about doctors searching for immortality used these poor monkeys to see if a head of one monkey transplanted on another Monkey would survive. It survived for awhile but they could not repair the nervous system. Also the monkeys had a immune response rejecting the body.

Sounds crazy yes. It may happen in one hundred years. It would be very expensive and only the wealthy like Bloomberg would be able have his head transferred to a younger body. Could pay or bribe for donors ahead of time.
