Just dealing with a lot . and I will describe one of my current distractions.
About a month ago a neighbor’s tree was hit by lightning . That causes sap to boil instantly , creating a steam explosion which shattered the tree trunk about 20 feet up . That tree was overgrown by a wild fig vine which wraps around and around the outer growth of the host , adding massively to make the tree top heavy and lean southward seeking the sun . The peak of my roof is directly South , about 35 or 40 feet away , and that is where the upper trunk and top 25 feet of oak and vine landed , taking out a skylight as well as structural damage to that end of my roof . The tree was about 100 feet tall.
Fortunately this doublewide manufactured home was very well built , but even so , the roof edge 2 by 8 has about an 18 inch longitudinal split , starting at the bottom edge and running toward the ridge . That is on the tensile side of the centerline of the 2 by 8.
I will be able to repair it by using a commercial grade C-clamp to close the split and adding steel plates on both sides .
Being on the downhill side of my mid-80’s doesn’t help with agility , LOL .
Fortunately I am wiry and thin , so much fitter than most my age.
All is well , I am fortunate that it was not much worse.
I’m still around , folks ( Buygold thx for asking)

NAK’s Pebble deposit contains significant Rhenium.
Maddog, NAK
Thanks for that article. I’ve been looking all day for some reason they dropped today. Their main products will be copper, gold, and molybdenum which is not technically a rare earth mineral. But maybe they are considered related to the broader sector.
Haven’t even found why they took off again a month or so ago after pulling back from the shot they took after Trump’s announcement in the Summer. Maybe just optimism about their case, or insider information about it. They did file a brief October 6, as I’m sure you know, but the stock was moving before that.

Interesting chart. Can you imagine if some of that Bitcoin/crypto money started to move into our metals in earnest?
I’m not sure how many, if any, $100 up days we’ve had on this run, but I’m wondering if we’re going to start seeing $100-200 swings pretty soon.
I thought we’d have a big round number battle at $4K, maybe they’ll wait until $5K. I’m wondering if we might see $5K really soon, the moves may start to intensify, especially if Bitcoin money piles in. $5K gold is nothing to guys holding $120K bitcoin.
Looking forward to it. 🙂
Anyone heard from aurum or Alex Valdor lately?
Unbelievable
I stepped away for about 15 minutes and missed the close.
Holy crap. Gold up $110 and silver up $1.05????
$4300 and $54 fall. Surreal.
Not looking good for BTC, as Au powers up
Note the Inverted H&S base in the weekly
We know that supply is driving silver
but what is really driving gold?
We know it’s central banks doing the bulk of the buying, but why? Do they know something is coming? A re-valuation?
We’re not hearing about supply issues, yet it just keeps powering higher day after day.
If there was a day they should have been able to get the metals, it was today when the SM cracked. Bitcoin getting trashed, down another $3K. Oil down to $57.01.
The algo’s have been working on SLV all day, but GLD seems oblivious to the pressure.
I have two stocks that can’t seem to get out of bed and join the fun. Dolly Varden and New Found Gold. Not sure what’s up with those two, especially Dolly Varden. The charts on both look good, volume has been good, but there is a consistent seller in both of them. They’ve done OK, but nothing like any of their peers.

Reality Is Returning
We all knew Gold and Silver was worth a lot more. And typical stocks and real estate were both over rated, so they’ll probably both go down over time.
Probably from higher property taxes due to cash flow problems, because the USA got stuck and left with a shit load of wealth absorbing EPA jobs, service jobs and tax payer gov’t jobs, and no more machine shop jobs that that used to create wealth and paid taxes rather than absorbing taxes.
Even a real US president has been elected, all the others, (except JFK) were totally useless. Even Ron Reagan ’81 to ’89 the manufacturing jobs were FLYING out of the USA. Who the hell was REALLY in charge? Some anti American foreigners?
I’m amazed how high my account is.

Re UN TAx
That is getting their snout inside the tent ……I can just about imagine what the actual language was like in the Oval office….. straight off a NY building site,
Coming at silver hard
With the SM selling off.
Looks like they’ll reverse it.
edit: guess not, just had to wait 5 minutes. Unbelievable strength. Shorts are in serious trouble
People in Britain are clamouring to be allowed Covid vaccinations…
Hey, I think those illegal immigrants have a right to as many FREE jabs as they want. In fact, I think they should be mandatory….FWIW!

I think you’re right. It’ll be Darwinesque!
Stupidity and irrational thinking only get you so far. The globalists are causing a lot of trouble in the world!

No worries … those idiots are on their last legs … NATO and the UN too.
A bunch of fat old idiots.

@SecRubio
This week, the UN is attempting to pass the first global carbon tax , which will increase energy, food, and fuel costs across the world. We will not allow the UN to tax American citizens and companies.
Under the leadership of
