Deleted can’t find evidence a story about Roberts is true.

Ah star ship Trump. I think he can frame his own negotiations. Does that nuclear bridge include other countries?! France seems to be kinda loose cannon right now That is if other countries can stay out of it or out of ours and not sabotage any political breakthroughs and go their own way, but don’t come running back to us if they do, one of the two.
Ah yes; Peace: the final frontier.
The enterprises of the voicer StarTrump ……
Yes, we’ll cross the nuclear bridge when we come back to it later.

Peace in our time!
We’ll see about what happens to the enriched uranium later … and whether or not we have the will to come back if the Iranians retain it.

On June 16, 2026, 24 vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz (16 inbound, 8 outbound).
US didn’t get much … if this is actually the MOU.

I’m going out on a limb
We get back on the horse and silver closes above $70 on the week. The shares, although not good, could have been much worse. At least for as hard as the metals were hit.
Oil back at $75. Rates just below 4.5% The dollar will pull back some with rates tomorrow and the SM will come back. Something’s gotta give with the dollar, it’s way too strong. The Fed always needs to be right, and the SM will confirm it for them as usual.
Mostly, I just think the shares are about ready to keep going. Hopefully even lead. They got way overdone.
You all know how good I am with my predictions, so you should expect us to continue down and re-test the lows. 🙂
$ strength
is truly a joke. Must have been a ton of shorts, so of course the machines have to squeeze them into covering……
Deer79 – yup
Seems almost every low gets retested.
The dollar strength is a joke.
the scum
are trying to paint the “chart” for Gold, shake the tree, and those that bought on the latest dip to @$4053, will be convinced to dump whatever they bought…..
Dang
What brought that on. Misery loves company?
Finally cracked
Nothing but selling in the metals. Shares have no chance. SM getting flushed as well.
Back to suckitude after a glimmer of hope.
Scum having none of it
No way they let the metals off the floor on a Fed day. Right back in the crappa!
Shares not so much though.
Dollar is volatile.
I don’t see how the shares hang on today. If they do, we might have game on tomorrow. A lot different than what we usually see.
QQQ’s turn up – of course.
Maddog – whoop!
He must have said some dovish stuff. We are ripping back now.
Like that.
Shares could be a lot worse
Not sure why they’re hanging in there. Metals sure aren’t helping.
Boy, would that be a positive if they led the metals.
Other than that, it’s just the same crap, different fed day. Every. Single. Time.
Maddog – yes
What’s most impressive to me the last couple of days is that the shares haven’t been pulled down with the QQQ’s. Silver might be, but not the shares.
Buygold 11:22
Lol
PM Shares are now seriously out performing the metal….at long last
and do we have a bull flag in Gold
Morning Buygold
Hopefully she’s in error but she may not be …
Not a bad day in PM land. 🙂
I’m off to do some work in the real world. BBL
Not an impressive number

Britain really leads the world on these thought crimes
