In any case, why would anyone want to take a million people who have survived off UNRWA funding for seven decades, declare that they don’t want to come anyway, have (as a result of the UNRWA funding) a huge sense of entitlement; and a lot of attitude. What would they have to offer, anyway? What is the market in Egypt and Jordan for huge networks of tunnels and home made bombs? If they have good construction skills, let them rebuild Gaza while farming the area – maybe then they will be slightly more circumspect about enticing the Israelis to blow it all to bits in the future.

Completely agree. Wherever I went in Europe I always learned at least a little of the language before I got there. Just making the effort in the home country’s language would go a long way, even if it was as little as “Hello” and “Do you speak English?” in their language. Better still if you could ask your first question or two in their language. The French, by the way, and especially the Parisian French, seemed to have the least tolerance for those who didn’t even make an effort to speak their language. But that’s not why I always made an effort; it just seemed the courteous thing to do; it was their country, not America.

I have indeed held…all these years. I have every share I ever bought at a few different price points. If it were to take off and make me whole, or better, that would be one of the best things that has happened in my investing life. I had so much belief and hope in that project and that stock. It will be fun if it happens.

This is nuts to believe anything else, it’s religious terrorism. Facist legalism intertwined with fake religious values. So now we are supposed to think these guys were wearing masks? I’ll admit 9/11 was a mess, Judy Woods claimed direct energy weapons were at play, but if this were the case, where is this weapon, and why hasn’t it been revealed some 24 years later? You would think it’d be used again. Of course, this opens up the silly discussions that all these wildfires are this weapon, it seems like a fantasy. I can’t explain the dustification of the steel and all kinds of crazy circumstances behind what happened on 9/11 but I will say that Judy has the best compilation of photos and wack crap you’ve never seen and the media glossed over 100%. They helped hide the truth. This is an outstanding book that everyone here should buy and read 100%. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11334129-where-did-the-towers-go-evidence-of-directed-free-energy-technology-on#CommunityReviews

Here’s the flip side of her arguments: https://newslog.cyberjournal.org/architects-and-engineers-for-911-truth-debunk-judy-wood/

COST is a rocket!

They can now be controlled and can no longer think for themselves, thus all the strange and bizarre incidences and accidents happening lately!

The Gaza Palestinians are not wanted in neighboring countries; this does not say anything about the many Palestinians living on the West Bank or already living in other countries.  In is important imo to distinguish between different groups of Palestinians.

GLD off the lows. HUI came back to almost flat and many names closed higher.

I like it.

I disagree with you on the Arabs. 9/11 was a false flag, the Arabs were the patsy, they did not do it.
And, yes, they did pay. The war on Afghanistan was predicated on this false flag.

SLV up $.01

Little air out of the shares is OK. Volume is low compared to the last few days.

Looks like we’re in good shape.

The way I see it they all have sympathy for the Palestinian people because they were driven off their original land (like the American Indians) starting in 1948? They were driven out of their homes that were in their families for generations, as a European colony was created.  And they want a two state solution with some name changes.

By the way, the only difference between the American Indians and the Arabs, is the Arabs are far more advanced, I think they created the alphabet. And they were smart enough to get away with the 9/11 attack, a huge sucker punch, that imo put the kibosh on globalization

That was why my youngest daughter was going to school for on her way home when she got hit. Nice to have one in the family and a lawyer.

I’m not not taking sides when I say this but the key word in the story about the garden they made on land that wasn’t there’s is Giving Back their land, not giving them land.

Re Gaza yr right……none of the other Arab nations want them…they are way more than a nuisance, they are a nightmare.

In one of the many times a deal was done Israel gave back a lot of land, on some of that was a state of the art vegetable farm, with everything automated, all you had to do was turn it on and do some basic housework…it was a huge site…..what did the Pally’s do…..they smashed it to bits and then never even bothered to sell it for scrap…… and went back to living in the camps…..

Ukraine is another matter….first they must stop the fighting and then look into what has really been going on, as if even some of the stories are true, the corruption, lieing and fraud are beyond epic….a lot of people should be looking at getting to know Old Sparkie…..we unfortunately do not have the death penalty…..

I do not know much about computers.  In the early Apple days programming was basically logic (if then, for example) and algebra both of which I studied in school.  Modern programming use languages that I do not know.

As far as excel, I used tutorials and now youtube demonstrations to do certain macros I wanted or chart designs.

nothin’ to it

I should add that my daughter is a financial accountant and uses complicated excel in her work and so when I mess up I can call her and say “Help!”

Gold Lease Rates Explode as US Repatriation, Delivery Logistics Grow

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2025-02-06/gold-lease-rates-explode-us-repatriation-delivery-logistics-grow

The problem is no one wants the Palestinians from Gaza.  There would be problems wherever they go and problems leaving them in Gaza.  That is why imo so much kickback from the idea has happened.

The so-called “leaked” plan for Ukraine should be a non-starter.  While Russia will no doubt keep some of the area taken, to start from the position they get it all is ludicrous.  Also while it is reasonable to agree to Ukraine not joining NATO, that should only as long as the new Ukraine borders are respected.

just imo

Yep a sitting duck idea but maybe getting talks going because he’s known to do what he says, they better do something.

Your probably one of the few here who knows that much about computers. I remember I used to think trading was fun but was hobby trading so before the end of the year I’d hold stocks I know would go down to lower or just seasonally and sell to lower my gains or erase them before tax time. It was a learning experience to maybe put into retirement account where I have age 5 times more than the year before and moved it out to a savings before the crash of 08 but not the same as math. You do the same problems over and over you get the same answer. Not so much with the SM ESPECIALLY in PMs. Somewhere along the line the hobby isn’t so much fun anymore. Perhaps I picked up that bug that says keep watch for a sudden change. Who knows maybe it won’t be sudden. I first bought Nak at .40 I think. I didn’t know much about it so didn’t buy much, I was just  looking at technicals years back then got side tract with the real world and was actually with my tax person and asked about that one and wow it was in the dollars and think it passed my target and got out I started to watch it as it turned down to get back in but it suddenly had legal problems so I backed off at that time. I guess the problems you mentioned.

I know what you mean by just living avoiding the stress especially when you got other things to worry about. My youngest daughter who got hit by a car turning in front of her again survived that and surgery only to get contaminated hard ware. Then other complication lost confidence with the hospital told me they’re not gonna cut off her leg next and left the hospital.She just won’t want to live. Went to me to learn about wound care, take the antibiotics orally when she needs them IV but she figures if she’s gonna die she doesn’t want to be stuck in a hospital. A friend said she’ll send me her bullwhip if it will help get her back in the hospital.

You’re right. At least it’s a new idea. Even if it’s a bad one. IMO

Well at least he got the talks going because nothing good is coming to Gaza from either side. They can’t just leave it like it is and then when someone offered to help speak for them and say no One side wants them to go away like they never existed and take their land inch by inch, the other puts them up to things half heartedly that isn’t  going to change anything with hit and run violence by Hamas. Then that gets the civilians carpet bombed while the others then become spectators and won’t even give them a place to go or life saving supplies. They’re people without a country with no recognition while country’s around them became recognized as country’s in modern times.

Well, I have an average cost basis of 34 cents for NAK so am happy to hold for the longer time.  Also I am trying to cut back on my trading as I want to spend the time I have just being.  Trading takes a lot of time and a certain amount of stress, I don’t have much of either.  So settled into core positions and ignore.

I still do charts for grains as I take a salary for that work.  But it is easier now because I can watch the etf’s with Fidelity charting and only have to fire up the laptop every few days to enter recent prices into excel and bring up my excel charts that I designed and have used for many years.  I love excel.  Amazing what can be done with it.  Much more than the old days writing code for my Apple desktop to do charting with dots and dashes and pin feed paper.

Years ago I had GGN but I traded out of it.  My son kept his position and although he has a fair amount of lt cap loss, still when you add up the dividends over the years it has done well.

Thanks for the update on Nak. I was just thinking about them yesterday. I wasn’t going to take a loss so moved in and out based on TA for years then got out of all except GGN for awhile they pay divis.
