Nope … it’s a question of overall liquidity.

You want to buy at the 200-day moving average according to Jordan.

A very smart cookie.

Re Royal Mint…that is a shocking Vid/Podcast.

the metals be flying if that’s the case?

If it’s not … it will be if they sink a US carrier … or even just start shooting at the aircraft one would think.

Of course it could just be Michael Burry being commonsensical.

Would be something if he pops the tech bubble singlehandedly.

No invites to the White House for him.

Illinois Lawmakers Are Attempting to Rush Through a Harmful Tax on Unrealized Gains in 48 Hours

No tax system anywhere in the world has a mark-to-market capital gains tax that captures unrealized gains. Some Illinois lawmakers would like to change that—and they plan to ram the proposal through in less than 48 hours.

Under a proposal called the Extremely High Wealth Mark-to-Market Tax Act, Illinois would impose a 4.95 percent tax on the unrealized gains of all assets, tangible and intangible, of billionaires. That includes their stocks and bonds, but also everything else they own, including their ownership and investment stakes in businesses. Essentially, they would have to pay taxes on the value these assets have on paper, even though that value has not been taken as income.

This is Kevin Walmsley. I began following him a few months ago. Very insightful analysis on everything China

Certainly doesn’t stop the scum from playing their paper games, shaking the tree and trying to cause panic and fear……

No more eating crickets in Davos as the global warming hoax falls to the almighty AI data center.

Now that AI needs massive numbers of power plants to be built, they had to let go of “climate change” since it is blocking their path.

“Climate” has always been about the money.

The global warming hoax is “collapsing” as even Bill Gates admits it’s actually not a big deal.

No more eat the bugs for you.

The timing is curious now that Big Tech needs gigawatts of real power for AI data centers.

Serious Trouble at The Royal Mint – UK Bullion Buyers BEWARE!

Orders are being cancelled. Sorry we are cancelling your order. The criminals in charge of your government leased it out long ago.

Coming soon to a country near you.

Mornin all

Nothing surviving this morning. I guess the dollar and bonds have a small bid but nothing to write home about.

SM, Bitcoin, oil all down. Bitcoin down another $2k after a $3k decline yesterday.

Gold still trying to hold $4k, but not likely. Silver below $48 again. Plat and Pall getting hit hard.

As usual though, the worst performers early are the pm shares. Set for another beating. Earnings don’t matter with them, nor do the higher metals.

• Construction and completion: Construction on the Thames Tunnel began in 1825 and was completed in 1843.

the track that Turner painted was completed in the South of England. Railways spread as rapidly in the UK in the first half of the nineteenth century as they did in the US in the second half.

Communications. Always a game changer.

I’m sure many migrants take the Europeans for saps … probably the same in the US. Many people won’t work unless forced to. Some would rather starve to death!

Gotta side with ferrett on this one. Amazing painting and succinctly described.

Another Turner fan here. Love his watercolors as well. An absolute master.

I don’t like muddied, indistinct painting with undefined objects. The ‘light’ thing does nothing for me.

If the painting was not markedly associated with the GWR would anyone have an idea what it represents?

Just shows what a Philistine I am, I just know what I like.

So there’s that.

Neither the dollar or rates show any sign of backing off their trek higher. Course, neither does tech.

Plus, there’s a good chance they would have to work for a woman. Not gonna happen.

Wow, that’s a powerful painting! The use of light, the only crystal clear image being of the stack as it burns its way through the misty rain, the raw power of the epitome of technology … anyone would think it could be a Turner.

I like Turner. And Brunel.

p.s. the viaduct is still the main line of the Western railway, widened now to four tracks. Nobody believed it could be safe because the arches are so flat. It remains the flattest arch bridge ever built, 188 years old.
