Probably know the market being pushed by pre elections but it getting a little more cautious. He thinks PMs will go up one more time before a market crash. This was before the war on oil heated up.
Nem earnings
What talking heads fail to caution about is looking beyond their interest to the whole picture as best as they can with what little information they have. That even if a company is doing good and will be around for awhile it’s how people see that market or sector as a whole that matters more. Maybe not forever but at that time. But when that sector does move it can move fast. So it’s the descression on a investor if they want to wait or get in early while their waiting. Being natural it’s more a concern to want to know where support is before they buy.
Another
extremely disheartening day in the PM’s…..especially so on the heels of a positive NEM earnings report……
Mr. Copper – in part
This is a deep rabbit hole. Check out The Project for a New America Century. PNAC documents.
The wars you’re talking about were planned in the 90’s. 9/11 was the false flag they created to get the American people behind it.
Are you playing with ETF’s??? Then you’re playing with Iron Pyrite…Fools Gold…. in the rigged Casino…..
Better get the real thing, in hand, while you can….Cause when the lights go out, if you can’t feel it, you don’t own it. Just remember, it was your own choice! SNG!

President Eisenhower’s remarks about the military industrial complex in his farewell address
Comment: Were they responsible for the Invasion of Iran? And Iraq and Afghanistan, and all the others?
Found on ChatGPT
President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned about the growing power of what he called the “military-industrial complex” in his farewell address on January 17, 1961.
The key passage was:
“In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.”
He continued:
“The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.”
And then:
“We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted.”
He also warned that the nation had become permanently involved in a huge defense establishment and arms industry:
“This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience.”
Eisenhower’s broader point was that defense spending and military preparedness were necessary, but the enormous permanent alliance between the Pentagon, defense contractors, and political power could become so influential that it might distort national priorities and threaten democratic government.
Interestingly, he also warned about the growing influence of science and government funding, saying:
“The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present—and is gravely to be regarded.”
His speech is often remembered mainly for “military-industrial complex,” but his warning was broader: he was concerned about power becoming concentrated in large institutions—military, industrial, scientific, and governmental.
I think the Russians are getting pissed off!
Russian Attack On Arms Expo Near Kiev Kills 10, Just After Zelensky Hosts Raytheon Execs
Russia just escalated against Western backers of Ukraine in a big way. On Friday a major Russian missile strike was carried out in Kyiv Oblast where representatives of Ukraine’s defense industry had gathered for a demonstration event.
These types of defense tech gatherings occur semi-frequently, are somewhat secretive, and typically involve American and European defense companies demonstrating new weapons systems, particularly in the realm of drone warfare. These events also sometimes involve the Ukrainians showing off their own advancing capabilities to international customers.

re:Rule … I’m grokking!
Today … not the worst day we’ve seen …
Nice surprise today
Gives a little hope that the worm is turning. Never know I guess, until it actually does. No surprise they have the clamps on NEM to keep things from getting unruly.
Ipso – I’m glad to hear Rick Rule is bullish. He’s never been a perma-bull, so that means to me he sees something.

Perhaps Paulson is the buyer of the massive amount of extreme out-of-the money calls on Gold that was mentioned here a few weeks ago????

🎇”WE ARE IN THE EARLY STAGES OF A LONG-TERM BULL MARKET FOR GOLD!” -John Paulson
Billionaire Hedge Fund Manager John Paulson famously orchestrated “the greatest trade ever”- a massive, $20 billion bet against the US subprime mortgage market prior to the 2008 GFC.
🔥The legendary Hedge Fund Manager just told CNBC that at $4,000/oz, we are ONLY IN THE EARLY STAGES of a LONG-TERM BULL MARKET FOR GOLD‼️
John Paulson is not some fringe perma gold-bug.
When one of the most successful MAINSTREAM INVESTORS maintains that gold’s move from $1,800 to $5,600 is JUST THE BEGINNING of a LONG-TERM SECULAR BULL & is positioning himself in gold stocks, you just may want to pay attention…

2% inflation is not what is really happening…

Shares trying to hold
even as the metals slide again.
I guess we’ll have to see if they sell the open.
Oil turned down a couple bucks
rates and the dollar also eased a bit, at least both are flat.
That was enough to allow our pm’s to turn higher after being down all night. Silver leading and up 1%. Gold still flat. PM shares mostly higher, even NEM is shaking off the selling from last night and is up a smidge.
The turn seemed to coincide with the London markets open.
SM is mixed, DOW up near 1/2%, Nasdaq flat.
May be another peace deal will breakout for the weekend.
