I’m car and other things side tract right now not watching the charts other than I noticed a silver risky crazy chart mentioned last week and gold support and resistance narrowing could go either way. Maybe it has to do with the economy prospects but don’t know what’s going on with the dollar.
Yeah that’s what they say about cars, 10 years or 100K miles that most warranty’s give you. Some cars like those in Japan buck the trend if you take care of them. Plus easier to find parts. American cars anyways I was told stop making parts for current model after 5 years. So can guess less common models on the road it’s going to be harder to find parts, new or used.
That’s true but for a lot of these bigger miners they have a good financial position and aren’t forced to do it.
I’m sure you remember Barrick’s shenanigans some years ago which caused harm to the whole industry. Barrick almost went BK when gold turned higher. They were being used by those who would hold gold down.
unless there’s “news” that forces the CTA’s to cover their short gamma in equities, metals etc., we’re beholden to the machinations of the machines and their boots are on our necks…….

Gavin Newsom is the Wolf in Trump’s Clothing
@EliseMcCue
Gavin Newsom is hoping you’re too stupid to see his Trumpian rebrand for what it really is.
Democrats spent years mocking Trump’s style, calling it “toxic” and “dangerous.” But now, when their closest thing to a 2028 frontrunner needs a makeover, suddenly he’s in denim, posing with Americana vibes, copying Trump’s online tone.
If 2024 proved anything, it’s that Americans want authenticity. And Newsom can’t hide his anti-American policies behind a cowboy costume.
Really, that would make sense when I heard not to buy cars coming from other states even if cheaper because they don’t have the smog gadgets California cars have. I also learned thats one of the reasons Japanese cars are popular here because they have stricter smog ruled also better gas milage and they also have better electronic components and parts than American cars. American cars may have been number one once and lots of muscle cars but when more and more electronic components came about America manufactured are way lagging and those failed modules can cause as much as 7 or more things to not work or break in. the car, even safety issues like the cars suddenly dying on you
Texas also has smog tests plus a friend said she had to get a part rigged on her Jeep because her friend and master mechanic couldn’t get a part for her horn. He said buy Toyotas and stay away from Nissans and Subarus. I took her advice when telling my daughter what kind of car I wanted to help him buy and they’re always updating electronic components on different cars those mechanics have to learn about and program when replacing partsvahd getting tired of it.
Do you know Warren Buffett doesn’t buy new cars I read this year. That his daughter had to talk him into buying a newer used car because his older one was getting embarrassing to be seen in. Lol Smart man.
If you buy a new car Google common problems with what ever make and model your looking at..You might be surprised at all the things you wouldn’t see or think of that could go wrong depending on how much knowledge you have with cars.
I didn’t realize until I moved out of California that most states don’t have smog checks. Just another way to soak and control CA. residents with phony climate crap.
90% of the land area votes red. All those counties should secede from CA. They have no representation.
Yeah would be good but they bait and switch on posted payments to the young, interest too high anyways plus just how much will you save a year on deductions rather than finding a good used car and paying cash. The cheaper to insure and register. Good thing a new car can save you years of smog checks. Before I retired I bought a new car to save on repairs in retirement fixed income and was going to finance for a few years while keeping my other car case something happened then Covid hit and thought dang they’re gonna mandate shots so paid the car off and was ready to retire out of debt when the mandated rolled out. I wanted to invest that money but didn’t want too chance it with that vax just knew it was coming and they would block ivermectin too. They’re predictable.
So just how much money are they saving you when 6 years of financing can result in the cost almost doubling that you could invest or buy PMs or put in CDs or treasuries. It will help if they have no choice. Trump just thinks if one thing or another to make things better. I don’t know if it will bring the car cost down though just like low interest and the greedy low lives increase the house price. That’s what they tried to pull on my grandson but his parents were there when the company found I was paying cash and trying to suddenly bring up the price with the excuse of management and when that didn’t work basically breached a contract or even hid it.
Refugees In Austria Accused Of Failing German Courses To Stay On Benefits And Out Of Work
A new report by Austria’s Public Employment Service (AMS) has sparked controversy after suggesting that some refugees are intentionally failing German language courses to avoid being placed in low-paying jobs.
Goldie – I heard Trump say that in the new big, beautiful bill, interest on car payments is going to be deductible. That’s a flashback to Reagan years and will help to offset rising car prices.
I might have to get out and buy a new car for the first time in awhile.
Well I know one reason cash is no longer king. They can get much more from you if you buy things on credit instead and it seems like banks are practically trying to give out credit cards and think offering you 17 percent interest is a favor instead of 29% They’re creating a inflated environment where people will need it..
People are going to have to learn to pay cash if they can and stop letting banks and businesses use them like free ATM machines or blood suckers.
Some business are building debt traps around it particularly housing and big ticket items like cars and financing contributes increasing prices like student loans did to the cost of education or health insurance to costs of health care, once they developed credit systems like loan sharks of some form the prices rise. It’s not a war on cash is a war on your ability to hold on to that cash and creating a illusion it’s costing less and doing you a favor for paying more for everything.
Here’s a example how desperate they have become.
My daughters husband has learned yesterday you have to be quick sometimes.
I decided to help my grandson which he didn’t ask but decided to help him get a car for a new job instead of financing when they really take advantage on interest rates costing you much more for that car.
After checking the car and negotiating the price and the usual bait and switch on the price I wasn’t going for so they handed the phone to him because they were afraid to talk to me after the switch thinking that will do it but I told him to walk so they went back to negotiated price. By the time he finished the banl was closed. I couldn’t call in to approve more money than I set daily and would rather have it that way for security reasons but it was Sat a weekend . So when they found out I was paying cash they asked for a deposit so gave them a deposit on my card. He had all the papers and receipts. When he returned on Monday after work after I called the bank to get a temp higher amount. So he goes back to find that they ” accidently,” sold the car on Sunday. Accidently my arse. I said they financed it didn’t they and he said exactly and I told him they wanted more money than they can get with cash. It turned out fortunate because during that time I kept looking and found a newer model they could of got for less than that one. I warned them next time to make it earlier and don’t tell them it’s cash till ready so sign over the car.
