We should be doing better, but what the heck is going on in those markets?

So much winning!!

Hopefully it’s just a bluff. War with Iran would be a risky business!

Wouldn’t really surprise me if they were heading to Iran to take out their nuclear capabilities.

IMHO, this would be a huge mistake for Trump to make so early in his administration. I truly hope he doesn’t.

He’d lose some credibility, and the naysayers would come out of the woodwork claiming he’s beholden to Israel.

Doesn’t look like the shares are buying it though

? BREAKING: U.S. B-52 BOMBERS LAND AT RAF FAIRFORD – WHY ARE THEY HERE? ?

? Massive U.S. B-52 Stratofortress bombers—SLIDE11 and SLIDE12—have just touched down on British soil at RAF Fairford.

? Rumors are swirling that more are on the way, as tensions mount across the globe.

? But the real question—why now? What are they preparing for?

I want to see the E. List!

You and I have discussed this for so long!

Trump is doing a press conference today and expects to name names. I literally cannot wait.

I don’t expect any active politicians just yet, but still some big, pretty well-known names.

No surprise after the CPI also coming in hot.

There is no doubt in my mind we will get at least honest numbers from the bureaucrats on the economy. It wouldn’t be a stretch to think that the numbers were jiggered to make the Trump economy look worse than they are either.

As long as he continues to do what he says, end wars and expose corruption and graft in government, the people will stand with him. In fact 46% of black men now support him. Unprecedented for a Republican.

Anyhoo, we kind of have the reverse happening today, with silver heading back toward $32 and gold trying to hold $2900.

Interesting though, rates are down 5 bips, and the dollar is down a little.

Shares have flattened out, but nothing crazy. The premarket dip in KGC is being bought. Good strength.

“So refreshing” Yer darn tootin! Isn’t it wonderful, some sanity at the helm!

Ferret – I understand and agree with the first part of your comment, I’m not sure I understand the second part.

Goldie – yes, true. Russia is not perfect, not even close, nor are we. Putin is a pragmatist. As for Fogel, why would he ever want to bring any substance like that into Russia? Is it a possibility that maybe he wanted to be arrested to gather intel on the prisons or someone in the prison? He’s described as a teacher I think. The CIA always frames their assets as being simple, regular people. He says he was injected 400 times? With what and why? How is he still alive? Was it a truth serum of some sort? Given the state of relations with Russia, especially during the Biden administration, why would any American want to live in Russia?
I really don’t know the story, but I sense there is a lot more to it than what we are told.

Funny though, maybe Russia arrests too many of their citizens for dissent, but after watching our politicians and bureaucrats, it’s clear to me that we don’t arrest enough of ours.

Rates down 3 bips. No idea what that will look like after the PPI comes out.

OIL down. Bitcoin down. Gold up $12, silver up 12 cents. PM shares firm premarket.

We had a weak ending to last week. They may try to do the same, or they may just be losing complete control. Although, that seems doubtful because the move higher has been very orderly.

Let the games begin.

Might be so but white Christian Russians fear their Government and their police is linked to them. Those protesting the war were arrested.

The American teacher Fogel Trump got out of prison the other day because he had a prescription of marijuana which people should really check out the laws in other countries before going even if prescribed got 14 years. He was arrested in the 2020s can’t remember exact year and had a family and a 95 yr old mother.

He said while in prison he was injected with unknown substances 400 times. But yet not only did war break out after Biden got in he couldn’t even protect his citizens unless they were black and trans like they did for that female basketball player who got arrested for the same thing without a prescription and traded her for a Russian threat to us but they left a white family man for dead. I don’t think her color had anything to do with it though it was identifying as a male. She’s lucky they put her in a woman’s prison b

Russia is white and Christian. Then something changed ….. and it wasn’t anything to do with Russia.

PPI comes out this am. Gotta get through that part of the risk puzzle to keep going. I would guess that since the CPI missed, the PPI will probably miss as well.

PM’s have so far stared down Powell and the CPI. Pretty damn impressive.

KGC came out with earnings, missed what looks to be the “whisper number” by a penny, but they were still pretty good, and gold is a lot higher now than it was last quarter. They are getting hit for 4.5% in the premarket, but I suspect the dip will be bought – especially if the metals hold their gains. PE is only around 13 at current earnings.

AEM comes out with earning after the close. They seem to be the bellwether these days.

I think it was this one but live TV to hear both sides.

AlJazeera

https://www.aljazeera.com/

Here’s one of them

Lawyers representing Kamal Adwan Hospital’s Dr. Hussam Abu Safia had their first contact with the director since he was detained by Israeli forces last year. He told them he was tortured with electric shocks and is being denied needed medication.  https://www.aljazeera.com/program/newsfeed/2025/2/12/kamal-adwans-detained-director-alleges-torture-by-israeli-authorities

I saw a picture of one who was 14 who was released at 20. He was very underweight and looked emotionally drawn but can’t verify.

I saw others released with family. One looked pale with sunken eyes. One said he was beaten and when he told them he had rods in his legs they saw it as a weakness. The first ones that came out from Isreal were women who were okay. They could have had more to eat but I’m sure none of the Palestine’s had a whole lot to eat. News I saw it on was not regular US news. El  J Something and OAN pro Trump maybe. I suppose both could blow it out if proportion but at the same time I’m sure they weren’t treated as guest either.

Speaking of which.

I need noise so listening to stuff to drown out the ringing in my ears. But get this feeling I got a message but will be gone in a minute.

I listened to this from Cliff High.

About all the stuff their finding. It’s gonna blow the normies mind.

I am gonzo

That’s cool, I’m glad it worked.

Many years ago in San Francisco I had a friend who had a cocaine problem. He had some kind of staple in his ear and he was supposed to fondle this staple when he had urges and it would somehow alleviate his cocaine monkey. I don’t know if it worked long term.
