Gold looks like $5K is coming?

Posted by Buygold @ 9:20 on August 24, 2026  

At least Goldman’s $4900 target. Dollar fading. Shares getting revved up.

I wonder if we’ll get any volume into the shares today?

edit: They’re trying to spook the shares at the open with the usual selling. Gold might just be too strong for that today.

SM looks slippery again

Dollar trying to bounce a little, rates down 2 bips, oil down a couple %

PM’s holding the line, although silver is down from the AH’s on Friday. PM shares holding up nicely.

Nothing not to like at the moment.

Don’t forget this story. NYPD says “no threat to the public.” How do they know that?

We have to do more than just vote. Trump’s one person, although not particularly up to bribes there’s other ways to influence him on things he’s not familiar with. We can all be affected by that it some way and why we need more minds and skills out there to work together.

Another thing I learned along the way since the people of the 1800s who were strong in body and mind. They used to call me a young person with a old soul or came back from that time. They were stronger than us today. Every generation since collectivly has gotten weaker and sicker and a easier life is probably part of it, and not wanting to come out of their comfort zone. Now their bombarded with social media, they were too busy for that. Many didn’t even watch TV when it came out, others selectively with others, or just to busy, rather spend time with family, friends and church activities and American Indians culture activities so it didn’t have as much influence as it does today and less to zero on children. They did read the paper and definely comcious of cost of things ” inflation.” Didn’t just accept it. I could only imagin what they’d do with these leftist, woke or Islamist migrants  marching down their streets yelling allahu akbar. They’d either be met with a hail of bullets, buildings burning or a line of armed veterans and kicked out of the country as they should be.

Back for a few minutes. He sent me pictures too including the big gun the gunner who died was using I don’t know or remember what their called or their caliber but it was totalled and burnt. It was heartbreaking. I hope they gave him more than a purple heart and his memory not forgotten.

That reminds me back in 07 I guess because of accumulated contact with the greatest generation a navy veteran gave me detailed live action during WW11. He was on a aircraft ship. I encouraged him to write this it down possibly make a book out of it. I told as many as I could to do that while they can because they were real history not narratives written in books second handm  I was making something for dinner just for myself that night and while things were simmering I found his message and started reading it. I couldn’t put it down so to speak, like reading how enemy aircraft attacked them when they had a ship full of fueled aircraft on board. Many things were exploding on fire.  In short the gunners held their post shooting even when it was apparent a enemy plane was going to hit their deck. One of the gunmers did comitt suicide at that time because he told him he couldn’t go home like that. He was wounded and severely burned. He jumped the ship. I told him I almost burnt my house down reading it and forgetting about my dinner! He thought that was hilarious. He was in his 90s at the time. Have company have to go.

Psycho-ology alright. Look what they were doing to children at school. Outright child abuse. White men and to extent women at jobs with the woke BS. You don’t think that was causing unrelenting stress. College kids saying they were afraid of saying anything for fear it would affect their grades.

Well this is interesting . How our military was treated and who knows what other countries did to theirs in turn during Covid keeping them away from family during that time so they wouldn’t get sick I presume and then we’re probably forced to get their shots right away. Who needs weapons when you have a psycho and compulsive liars from within waist of our time and to divide and destroy countries and their economies within  and profit off it instead of doing their own servalence which they had the capability to do if they wanted on a hoax. Not to mention a desperate way to interfere in a election. I hope they will in the future though.

Key Uninterrupted Stretches at Sea
  • USS Abraham Lincoln (2025–2026): Over 250 consecutive days without a port call (with a single 1-day stop in Guam back on December 12).
  • USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (2020): 206 consecutive days without a port call, set during strict COVID-19 safety protocols.
  • USS Theodore Roosevelt (2001–2002): 159 consecutive days without hitting a port following the September 11 attacks. [1, 2, 3, 4]
(Note: While the USS Nimitz spent 341 total days away from home port during the 2020–2021 pandemic era, portions of that time included isolated quarantine anchoring rather than pure continuous operational underway tracking like the Lincoln’s stretch). [1, 2]
Would you like to know more about the operational factors (such as supply replenishment or crew rotation) or the specific mission details behind these extended deployments?

 

 

 

Part of this article caught my attention.

https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/great-burrito-debate-and-uncomfortable-solution-inflation

“For those who claim that tariffs are “causing inflation”, this is simply false. The contribution tariffs make to CPI is negligible (around 0.5 percentage points). The media (and some libertarians) continue to falsely claim that tariffs are an issue.”

Assuming he is talking about price inflation, he is patently wrong. Even DJT disagrees with him, which is why he is removing tariffs on beef, because it will reduce prices by 25%. It’s not the monetary value of the tariff that increases prices, but the supply shortage that pushes the prices up. Somehow DJT seemed to think that imposing beef tariffs would double the US herd overnight. Just wait to see how much lumber prices will skyrocket with new tariffs on Canada.

goldie, 7:56, no, they aren’t lying.

The phrase is “the longest time an aircraft carrier has gone without a port of call in modern history”, leaving plenty of scope for any other type of ship in modern history, and aircraft carriers earlier than whatever is modern.

Posted by Mr.Copper @ 13:01 on August 23, 2026  

Stress is coming from importing too many imports, causing lagging profits and wages and or just increasing poverty.  And the upper level poor people are feeding them poison via psychology

Meanwhile…..

Agricultural commodities are now at their highest level in a decade.

Yet another unintended consequence of higher energy prices.

Watch the Fed be forced to walk back its hawkish stance even as inflation continues to creep higher.

It’s not like these guys have many options.

Turkey and Israel vying for control

🇮🇱🇹🇷🇸🇾⚡️ Israel must stop Turkey’s military expansion before Turkish forces are able to establish themselves close to Israel’s borders, a senior Israeli intelligence official has warned as tensions between Jerusalem and Ankara over Syria continue to escalate.

Speaking to The Jerusalem Post, the official warned that unless Israel establishes clear red lines in Syria and the eastern Mediterranean, Turkish military and naval forces could continue expanding their presence toward Israel. He cautioned that Israel could eventually face a scenario in which Turkish tanks are positioned near the Golan Heights and Turkish frigates operate off the coast of Caesarea.

The warning reflects a growing concern within Israel that Turkey’s expanding influence in Syria could eventually become a direct strategic constraint on Israeli freedom of action. Recent Israeli strikes against military infrastructure in Syria therefore appear intended not only to limit Damascus’ capabilities, but also to signal that Jerusalem will resist any permanent Turkish military deployment it considers threatening. The emerging rivalry increasingly makes Syria one of the most sensitive potential flashpoints between Israel and Turkey.

The longest deployed ship without a Port of Call in history. If true apparently whom ever said they did longer time than them was lying. I wonder if they were doing some kind of experiment on them.

Wow isn’t that something. It was 53 yrs for me to counting back when I started in high school and worked as a nursing assistant after school with geriatrics. Very understaffed then. I was even giving out medications left for me with cards next to them. Got to know many born in the 1800s. That’s when I decided things have got to change, for the better and some how got chosen over hundreds admitted in nursing school as a teen. They said they chose the ones most likely to make it through I retired when the time to get vaccinated with Covid shot was up. I warned them though,  giving them time to prepare. The CMT was getting worse. Charcot Marie Tooth. They have different types. Apparently mine was late stage, symptoms started later in life. I started tripping walking down the halls. One of the head doctors told me before I left to find a good doctor and stick with them. I asked is it getting that bad, he said yes. I don’t know if things like Covid had something to do with it or not but he seemed very concerned at the time. I could no longer work after retiring anyways after a bad trip to Florida 32 hrs to get there near the same getting back during Covid because over doing things without rest causes even more nerve damage,  even if I wanted to. That’s great your working in a clinic, there’s so many people who slip through the cracks who need help.

Hope your family has an enjoyable time here. Do you still work as a nurse? I retired last yr after 53 yrs of nursing. I now volunteer at a free medical clinic. I truly enjoy it.

Florida

Posted by goldielocks @ 21:34 on August 22, 2026  

One of my daughters and grandsons going to be in florida next week. Her second trip his first. So I looked up when the rains will start or likely will start with El Nino. It’s predicted to start in severity in winter going into spring which is usually dry but could bring heavy rains.

Found something else out though. With it, it could being more tornados. So less hurricanes more tornados.  Could still have hurricanes too just not as much. That may result in  interesting weather starting as early as late next month. So enjoy the sunny summer and stay safe this winter.

It doesn’t sound good. California is no stranger to droughts combined with hot dry weather increasing fire risks.

I thought that was strange for Florida so I looked a few things up, like what about the undergrouncd fresh water coming from quite a few states to Florida. I picture that as a oasis compared to California. Apparently despite that the majority of water you get is from rain fall. What was locking the drought in was El Nina. So when you hear El Nina I guess be prepared. Why they don’t do rain cloud seeding in places of drought I don’t know. I didn’t get As far as finding what El Nino will bring but do remember initially reading it will bring less hurricanes but more rain. Hopefully that’s true. But if it’s been going on a couple of years with things drying up sudden heavy rain if you get it will likely cause runoffs in these dried area especially if plant life dried off and flooding.

Theyll also need a watch on roads with warnings to stay away from any flooded roads. There’s not enough watch there so helps to know what roads will flood and avoid them. Coming home from a night shift in the dark without warnings and road hazard signs up  could easily run right into it.
