U.S.D. 102.31: It Looks Like The Rest Of The World, Wants A Strong Dollar.

Posted by Mr.Copper @ 14:43 on April 26, 2022  

Most of the time, they get what they want, and the USA gets the shaft. I think even Trump was complaining about that. There was a time when it was very important to DROP the US Dollar. From 2001 9/11, the USD was at 120, they dropped it after that date down to 72 in 2008.

They gave us the 9/11 stimulation until it busted in the summer of 2008.

1.5 year view climbing Dollar for Europe et al benefit:

Ten year bond yield down a little, 2.77% today from 2.92 3-4 days ago.

Parts of the energy sector look good, ARCH+20%, CENX+9%, BTU ARLP etc, Steel  sector doesn’t look bad. But geez its hard to trust any trends these days.

Anybody have a no brainer idea?? Pass it on.

PS when the manipulators dropped the USD to 72 in 2008, it rammed or inverted Oil up to $145/bbl with zero extra demand. Just a stupid adjustable unit of account. The high priced Oil caused over production of, and curtailed use of supply,  and down the price went to $35/bbl in a few months. Geez, people are trying to do business, or deal with their daily lives, and we have these idiotic influences zigging and zagging everything.

we’re not getting crushed with the SM, which looks like it’s going much lower.

It’s amazing how easily they manipulate the sector, yesterday the sold the shares in endless 100 share lots. Constant pressure and heavy volume.

I’m glad at least that we’re not going down with the Nasdaq.

 

I guess this is an escalation … although these anti-aircraft tanks are an archaic type

I get the sense that their politicians are more concerned with the well being of the populace than most of ours are.

Got to give them credit at least it’s going back to the people and not out of the country. Maybe they’re hoping these gas prices will be temporary.

I agree, the Dow etc had a dead cat bounce and taking the emerging markets with them making short EfF insurance money. They will fight any move down and earning will be interesting with supply shortages. Mro did good sold a few dollars to early and should if moved out of Ag to that. Clf did too good after holding a couple years and getting tired of it selling at highs and finally moved but correcting now. Can’t say for sure on PMs but maybe best we can hope for is side ways if it doesn’t rebound during this dollar move. Seems a lot of institutional are holding long. I heard something don’t quote me on the Fed backing off in July.

Posted by goldielocks @ 8:06 on April 26, 2022  

Seems some light buying going on in the few PMs I checked with some spread between bid and asks. Maybe light because of some of these insiders selling the highs last week then stoped out everyone else. So are they management or pump and dump traders?
I should check Snow the ceo of Ag or who ever was pumping couple weeks ago or so.

Feeble bounce

Posted by Buygold @ 8:02 on April 26, 2022  

Trying to stabilize here at $1900 but doesn’t look like we’ll do it. Silver has zero juice. PM shares up a little.

USD up again, rates down, SM down.

Doubt today is the beginning of the end of the correction.

I’m surprised Trump said he won’t be going back though but to a truther site. I don’t see why he can’t do both.

Windmill Facts
By: Dan Nebert
March 28, 2022
That little yellow thing at the top of the picture is a CAT-9 bulldozer. It is burying acres and acres of windmill blades used for “Green Energy.” Why?
Because these blades need to be disposed of, and there is presently no way to recycle them. That’s how green energy works! Who knew? Maybe the people that make them knew. Why would they let that cat out of the bag? After all, they are government-subsidized with tax-payer money (just like every electric cars ). Also, politicians do not want those huge eyesores in their backyard.
Right now, the average wind farm contains about 150 turbines. Each wind turbine needs 80 gallons of oil as a lubricant, and we’re not talking about vegetable oil, this is a PAO synthetic oil based on crude. 12,000 gallons of it for 150 turbines, and that oil needs to be replaced once a year. It is estimated that a little over 3,800 turbines would be needed to power a city the size of New York… That’s 304,000 gallons of refined oil per year for just one city. That’s 25+ wind farms.
Now, you have to calculate every city across the nation, large and small, to find the grand total of yearly oil consumption from “clean” energy. Where do you think all that oil is going to come from? Well, since January 2021, it comes from our enemies in the Mideast. Not to mention the fact that the large equipment needed to build these wind farms runs on petroleum. As well as the equipment required for installation, service, maintenance, and eventual removal. And just exactly how eco-friendly is wind energy anyway?
Each turbine requires a footprint of 1.5 acres, so a wind farm of 150 turbines needs 225 acres. To power a city the size of NYC, you’d need 57,000 acres; and who knows the astronomical amount of land you would need to power the entire US. All of which would have to be clear-cut land because trees create a barrier and turbulence that interferes with the 20mph sustained wind velocity necessary for the turbine to work properly. Also, keep in mind that not all states are suitable for such sustained winds. Boy, cutting down all those trees is gonna upset a lot of green-loving tree-huggers.
Let’s now talk about disposal.
The lifespan of a modern, top-quality, highly efficient wind turbine is 20 years. After that, what happens to those gigantic fiber composite blades? They cannot be economically reused, refurbished, reduced, repurposed, or recycled. So, it’s off to special landfills they go. And, they’re already running out of these special landfill spaces for the used blades that have already exceeded their usefulness. Those blades are anywhere from 120 ft. to over 200 ft. long, and there are 3 per turbine. And that’s with only 3% to 7% of the nation currently being supplied with (intermittent, i.e., unreliable) wind energy. Just imagine if we had the other 93% of the nation on the wind grid… 20 years from now you’d have all those unusable blades with no place to put them…
Then 20 years after that, and 20 years after that, and so on “Greenenergy?”
Also, about 500,000 birds are killed each year from wind turbine blade collisions, many of which are endangered hawks, falcons, owls, geese, ducks, and eagles. Apparently, smaller birds are more agile and able to dart and dodge out of the way of the spinning blades, whereas the larger soaring birds aren’t so lucky.
Here’s another problem with windmills. The generator and switching equipment operate at high power and voltage. Everything in the windmill nacelle (look it up) is compact due to limited space, so there’s a danger of arcs and electrical fires. This is prevented by putting all the electrical equipment in a pressure vessel filled with sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), a synthetic gas that has dielectric properties which suppress arcs and fires. However, windmills leak this gas, something around a pound each per year. SF6 has an atmospheric lifetime of 3,200 years and is 22,800 times more effective as a greenhouse gas than carbon.
THIS IS ANOTHER ITEM THAT FALLS UNDER THE CATEGORY OF, “GEE WHIZ, I GUESS WE DIDN’T THINK THIS THROUGH” (!!!)
ARE YOU LISTENING, AMERICA?
