Iraq seizes mounds of gold and millions in cash in corruption crackdown

https://www.yahoo.com/news/world/articles/iraq-seizes-mounds-gold-millions-211616585.html?.tsrc=daily_mail&segment_id=DY_VTO_50_Supernova&ncid=crm_19908-1475736-20260715-0–A&bt_ee=kI6W8EpgIJziUzSBOlUU3F520q2izqKytzaC0qv0xCOgy4tQOnLdy8lzf151eMrY&bt_ts=1784126334679

Just like we all knew it would. I guess because the retail sales beat expectations 0.4% vs. 0.3% expectations, driven by inflation no doubt and causing bonds to be sold a bit. Funny that the dollar hasn’t gone any higher than it was earlier.

No matter. Shares realized the metals were down and cratered with them.

If we don’t get a reversal here today, I have no doubt they’ll take silver back to $30 and gold $2500 and HUI under 300. It’s the American way.

I best take some time away. May better times visit the tent.

….will continue until the scum see some sizable buyers come into the picture. Hopefully, the previous lows @$3965 holds….

and the QQQ’s are down, so naturally the metals are taking a hit.

Ther is something odd taking place though, the shares haven’t really seemed to notice just yet and aren’t really getting hit, especially the large cap gold shares.

The silver shares aren’t doing as well, but that’s because they are silver shares, the single worst investment in any market.

We do need something to give here, either the shares (GDX in particular) need to break up or break down. They can’t continue to go sideways. The same can be said for GLD and SLV.

Always safe to bet on a breakdown. I’d continue to hope, but hope has been lost for months now. We had a 1% move down in the dollar the past two days and got nothing from it.

That would make a good discussion. Is enabling data centers hes worried about coming from Iran a good thing. Besides that aluminum, fertilizer it’s made all over the world including Canada not just in one place. What’s with the data centers rush So eager to replace human beings with machines. Then using these machines to brainwash and  control humans. Is throwing a monkey wrench in these plans a good thing or a bad thing. The same system that would have him collared in smart city’s drinking out of their plastic bottles soup or asphalt noisy city’s  good for your health?

Are these data centers good for anybody’s health including the wildlife who also need these resources like water or the echo system  long term?  Even industrial farming isn’t good for the environment or clean water supply They can even cause sink holes by depleting underground water now add data centers to enable ai to replace human jobs.

There is so much good info in this regarding what is coming , and why it is coming, and what you need to do to survive it and possibly thrive through it.

So please take a chance and see if you don’t agree. This is the clearest picture of our immediate future I have seen, and it is presented in such a professional way, you won’t regret it. Really, the first 30+ minutes of this presentation is  silver and gold! Please give it a try and see if you don’t agree. SNG

Sometimes the back is indeed okay and it’s muscle soreness or spasms pulling on the nerves that rest, cold or heat or alternative hot cold or anti inflammatory meds can help resolve. We learn to ignore pain waiting for it to go away but it isn’t always a sore muscle thing but more serious. Like Graham ignoring chest pain which is strange because that should of also caused a tearing front to back pain that needs medical attention. As far as the back there’s different kinds pain, mild moderate and severe. Also if something’s aren’t treated it will just cause more damage. Sometimes more damage  can be caused by compensation. A injury or something like with me causing balance issues at first so you used different muscles including back not meant for that injuring it. Like if you sprained your foot so you shift your weight on the other foot. That’s compensation that if going on too long can cause further injury. If something is putting pressure on the nerves that is something you don’t mess around with. That’s why they tell you not to move a person who was injured until they were assessed for internal or spinal injury or it could paralyze them. Imagine yourself being tasered. Could  you rationalize that pain away? Cause and effect, stop the cause.

We have market leaders hooked up with government that currently isn’t even helping our economy with machines usness servalence is supposed to help vs gov. Some of the leaders made patterns like cup and handle then ran up again with government interest. Yes they need metals so of course cut them a deal with shorts Then we have foreign buying. But looking at institutional investors. Momo of industrial is slowing for now.

I found another big thick book here, on the cover,  the complete guide to your Emotions And Your Health.

New dimensions in mind and body healing by Emrika Padus and editors of Prevention Magazine.

All my life I had times of back pain, I assumed was from heavy lifting. Then I read a small book Mind Over Back Pain by a Dr. Sarno. He said quite often people go to acupuncture, and other treatments including surgery. And the pain comes back because it was a placebo effect that made them feel better. But the pain comes back again.

After I read the book after 2008, no more back pain from 1965 at all. Until around 2017 we were rushing to a surgeon appointment re my wife’s cancer which was stressing me out.

I picked something up and I immediately got a back attack.  I told myself there is nothing structurally wrong with my back, i walked around the house a few minutes, It hurt, but I got in the car with pain and the pain was gone before we got there in about a half an hour.

P.S an older relative of mine went for surgery and the pain came back. I never told her about that book.

Sorry if I missed anybody.

Ipso – Ha! You know better than that. Here in the states we just make war and take the gold. 🙂 Actually, Trump said the other day that we had taken all of Iran’s stuff, he included oil and gold. Not sure what he meant by their gold.

Mr. Copper – I see. I guess whatever works. Course, we should actually be up across the board given the dollar and rates today, but we’re not.

deer79 – “Goldilocks” yeah, they should go to the food bank in Atlanta and tell that to the 250K families that are being fed each month.

Goldie – I don’t know about individual issues, but the QQQ’s has cut its losses in half and the DIA went positive.

Regardless, the best we’re going to do at this point is track the SM – only worse like we’ve been doing for the last 5 months.

I will say, if Bessent and treasury revalue gold, this was the biggest fleecing the gold market has ever seen. It also might get them killed ala JFK and silver.

I’m glad surgery freed you from the pain, that is no joke quite disabling even trying to sleep.

Even Taco Bell is announcing they’re not serving much of the ingredients in their tacos and burritos.

Cyclospron outbreak. Main thing it does is cause diarrhea and not mild. One girl said 4 times in a hour bad. That would lead to serious to life threatening dehydration especially in this heat so if you get it keep hydrated and get antibiotics. It can’t be killed by soaking fresh veg your not cooking in vinegar or baking soda. Some things you can but not this one.

Those water mats at parks that shoot up water kids play in and recycle water over again kids get the water in their mouth are getting it too.

Not talking about the metals although the shorts don’t want to let go. They don’t want negative attention to the economy.

head & shoulders ??

look at the one day chart for silver.  very short term, inverted and a little asymetrical ?

…interesting times.

I think the only reason the SM is nearly holding on this long is because it’s a election year. Much money going into things needing government money or buying into things,  tax dependent money.

Looks like a lot of the SM is rolling over. Slowly and head and shoulders are forming everywhere.

It’s the one term expression that the financial media has been using for years now; “Goldilocks.”

The Feds Beige Book also came out.

Fed’s Beige Book: Economic activity increased at slight to moderate pace in 11 of 12 districts

As per ChatGPT

The main reason was a shift in interest-rate expectations.

• Softer inflation data (both CPI and PPI) led investors to believe the Federal Reserve is less likely to raise interest rates soon.
• Stocks rose because lower expected interest rates generally increase the value of future corporate earnings, especially for growth and technology stocks. Strong earnings from several large financial companies also helped sentiment.
• The U.S. dollar weakened because if the Fed is expected to keep rates lower, dollar-denominated investments become a little less attractive relative to other currencies.
• Treasury yields also fell, reinforcing the move into stocks and away from the dollar.

One interesting point is that Middle East tensions would normally support the dollar as a safe-haven currency, but on this day the market focused more on the inflation and interest-rate news than on the geopolitical risk.

but that’s a long shot!
