Dollar decided to turn back up

Posted by Buygold @ 8:45 on August 19, 2025  

Sort of stopping us dead in our tracks.

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.

The dollar

Posted by goldielocks @ 7:52 on August 19, 2025  

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.
Cash is no longer king.

Dollar and rates picking up downside steam

Posted by Buygold @ 6:30 on August 19, 2025  

Slowly but surely. Oil back above $62.

Shares are still non-responsive as the metals slowly strengthen.

Autopilot

Posted by Buygold @ 5:52 on August 19, 2025  

Seems the markets in general have been set to autopilot, algo’s trading back and forth to scalp a penny here and there, but no real trend either up or down. SM is a little below the flatline, the dollar and rates are flat. The only thing I see trending is oil, and it is trending down, now just below $62. Bitcoin down a little more than 1/2%, has had a rough start to the week.

PM’s flatlining as well, same with the shares. Going nowhere fast.

Housing starts and permits is the eco data of the day, but I don’t remember them moving markets much. They are expected to be slowing. We’ll see.

We have been firming up in the last couple of hours in the overnights as the dollar has eased, but surely doesn’t look like a big move in anything is coming today.

Best wishes on your back surgery.  Life is hell when you cannot support your own weight.  After 4 months now, my hip replacement has healed and the muscles rehabbed completely.  It’s a joy to walk normally again.  You will work the kinks out.  Do your rehab… gently.  It will heal, with the prime creator’s help.  Prayers for you.

Sounds like the coming “Mark of the Beast” system in which nobody can buy or sell anything without “the mark”. Everybody got REAL Silver and Gold?

Yr constant Trump carping is getting very tedious…..Today, we may be, tks to his efforts, be much closer to stopping the Ukraine war slaughter……that alone will be a massive achievement and a huge defeat for the Globalists……

He has to be the biggest political joke of the last 4 years.

Russia is our ally. We are not going to war against each other. All this nuclear war talk of the last few years is a distraction.

Trump and Putin, and many others outside the many moronic cabal-owned EU and some other countries’ ‘leaders’, are fighting and destroying the WEF, central banks, human trafficking (and worse), the war on our health, and corruption around the world.
With Trump as the world-wide leader fighting the centuries-old cabals.

The accomplishments and changes wrought by Trump and his administation and the US military in 7 months are mind-boggling and too numerous to list.
Taking over DC, and his recent visit to the fed, seem very synmbolic in the war he is waging and directing for all people.

We now know the level of corruption and control and attacks on humanity we have been subjected to for decades and centuries is unfathomable.

The ‘Khazarian Mafia’ (fake Jews, Zionists) and all related parts of the evil empire will eventually be defeated. God willing. Or humanity is doomed.

It hasn’t been and won’t be easy. They had infiltrated and controlled almost everything at all levels. The entire world.

Enlightening is happening. But how to rehabilitate so many people destroyed mentally and physically will be a gigantic task, and will take time and enormous resources and and cooperation.

Just my 2 cents.

God help us all.

This is how … your buddy … The Donald …

… intends to cash in on his stablecoin … at your expense … which of course is a conflict of interest … maybe the biggest ever …

But hey … not many understand this … and just about nobody gives a crap because looks like some money to be made in crypto.

This guy might be a dem … but that does not mean Trump’s grift is still not completely illegitimate … not to mention a threat to your freedom.

Have a nice day

bringing the dollar with them.

Shares getting weaker. Easy peasy.

Ferret – yes

Posted by Buygold @ 10:39 on August 18, 2025  

I believe the Euro trash is invited to the White House with Zelensky. I know they insisted that Ursula comes along.

If there’s a third meeting with Putin and Z, I doubt they’ll be welcome.

Irrelevant destroyers trying to stay relevant.

Scum loves these light summer days

Posted by Buygold @ 10:25 on August 18, 2025  

They can push these shares south without much effort.

I still think there’s some buying underneath these things though.

Ipso – Thank you!

Posted by Buygold @ 10:21 on August 18, 2025  

Words to the big guy are the only thing that matters. It His game. 🙂

I feel pretty good about it. It was a big surgery, just need a couple weeks to work the kinks out.
