and I know the metals look like crap today, but I’m not crying too much about the shares. Usually we’d give back all the gains of the last two days on a day like this, but not so far.
Maybe the shares are about done? Or will they make it up on us tomorrow? At some point they’ll bottom, right?

I don’t understand why the rush, Trump should have waited until the end of his term, after the mid term elections.
Maybe TPTB or the deep state “pushed him” some how to do it earlier just to screw him up, would not surprise me at all. We’ve seen all the under handed crap they pulled on him already going back years.

Check out the general stocks, looks like coming off highs.

Gold and Silver probably coming off lows.

Seems like it’s sort of the last pillar left. Every time it has a day like this though, it seems to snap right back.
If pm’s went in the opposite direction I’d be cheering for it to crash, but there’s no sign we will do anything but keep crashing with it.
Tough game.

Is it possible that a lot of the pressure on prices over the last few months Has been because of the forced liquidation of paper contracts in Shanghai? At least that’s what the AI source I inquired from told me… The ban will start at the end of business today, but the liquidation has already taken place so it should be a non-event.. The all knowing AI also Said it will lead the way for a new bull run medals by establishing a more solid base to start from…. Cheer up Buygold.. My AI sources help is on the way…John

Right, same here, they can hunt and fish. Salmon a good source of omega 3. You did make me think about all the wild turkeys around here. They’d even walk down streets in neighborhoods. Why I don’t know, maybe people feed them. I haven’t seen any lately.

Ha good one. But desquize themselves heat to feet don’t bring cell phones and ride disguises bikes or a untraced licence plate. Problem now if they can use drones and even pick up on conversations. Maybe even satellites.

maddog – let’s hope we can pop back above that retracement point. The shares aren’t doing great, but not nearly as bad as I would have thought, (except for the ones I own) so maybe that’s a clue we’ll hold the retrace. NEM earnings after the bell today.
Goldie – yes, they’ll have to get creative, start buying rice as a filler. It’s the people in the cities that will suffer the most. The people in the country can hunt, people here can fish, but I have no doubt they’ll move to outlaw that as well. It is just disgusting how evil a small group of people in this world really are. I know they have demonic supernatural power behind them, but it is just amazing to me that people haven’t taken up arms and gone after them.
maddog – course, just as I say the shares don’t look that bad, they take a dive. With anything pm, all you have to do is give them some time and they’ll always disappoint.

Final vote total for the NDAA today which tragically merges our military technology and supply chains with Israel’s. Let’s hope this version fails in the Senate because Section 219 is a betrayal of our sovereignty.

Guess we can’t know everything going on without communication cuz were getting ripped off at every turn. I guess for family’s they will have to get creative. Take a round steak instead of feeding one cut it in bite size pieces sautee it with their own preferred slices make gravy put it over rice or mashed potatoes and feed a few people. Take beef and make a beef stew with half and tacos with the other half or a dozen other things. There gonna have to get their protein in other ways because there getting too much carbs it’s gonna affect their health. Even the health of a unborn. Like spina bifida due to a deficiency of B9 and B12.

….feels like a magnet pulling us back……
10 year yield is at 4.71%. Dow futures are down @ 600 points….. Is the Working Group on Financial Markets setting this all up so that the doped up financial junkies will shout out for interest rate cuts ( just before the mid terms)?

Goldie – all true, but those costs haven’t increased nearly 300% in two years. What has also changed is that in the meat packing industry there are now 4 large corporations that own the entire market, and they are fleecing the country. Pretty obvious this is a coordinated effort to deprive the population of beef. Chicken and turkey to a lesser extent.
deer79 – I know, just ribbing you brother. I don’t know what impact what’s happening in China is going to have on the US paper markets. I hope a positive one, but they are talking another rate hike this month, and the psychology is so ingrained in so-called investors that inflation and rising rates are bad for gold it’s just nuts.

FWIW, I think today starts the restrictions, by 2 of the largest banks in China, to restrict retail purchases of Gold and Silver..

Ranches have faced problems though the years. Do you remember times they were forced to sell all their cows to slaughter. Droughts and feed prices getting expensive. Add energy costs. Imports increased and maybe why beef doesn’t taste the same and wonder if it is real. Restrictions came in from Canada and Mexico imports due to a screw worm and now feed prices probably even more expensive with fertilizer, weather and other issues. Were cow poor.

SM futures turned lower, oil jumped to $90, the dollar firmed and rates moved up a little.
All that was too much for our paper metals to handle.
I’m convinced now that all this was intentional to crash the economy and send inflation skyrocketing so they can usher in the new digital system. I’m seeing videos on YouTube, regular people talking about food inflation, and it’s squeezing them hard. I think a lot of it is B.S., and prices are being raised far more than necessary. They are pricing avg. people out of the beef market. A guy showed a steak he bought in 2024 for $4.49 lb. that is now $17.49 lb. There’s no reason for that kind of inflation. This is the “eat bugs” clan just jacking things up without cause. I suppose they have to do this so they can come in and offer us a solution. The evil on this planet is about to get a lot worse IMHO, and it’s accelerating.
I don’t think they’ll allow little rocks like gold and silver to save us either.
