Brilliant marketing strategy. Tick off 50% of the American market.
They could easily setup production in the USA and avoid all tariffs. But they would rather alienate their customers.

Mexican Beer Brand Tecate Tells Trump to ‘Go F*ck Himself’ Amid Tariff Fight
Now we find out what we kind of strength we really have.
Did you notice that over here the short end is rising but the long end is falling?
Any idea what that means?
Saudis Offer To Sell Oil Near Oman, A Sign They’re Sailing Dark Through Hormuz
Saudi Arabia spent weeks finding ways around the Strait of Hormuz. Now it is starting to send tankers straight back through it.
According to OilPrice.com, Saudi Aramco resumed crude loadings from its Ras Tanura and Juaymah terminals inside the strait last week, ending a three-week gap in activity at the ports, according to Kpler and Vortexa data cited by Reuters.
Three VLCCs — Malaysia Prosperity, Algeria Prosperity and Singapore Prosperity — each loaded roughly 2 million barrels between August 12 and August 16. Six more VLCCs could load Saudi crude from inside Hormuz later this month, provisional Kpler data showed.
The next round may involve Saudi Arabia’s own ships. According to Bloomberg, Saudi Arabia is offering to sell oil from off the coast of Oman, a sign that the kingdom may be following the United Arab Emirates in shuttling more barrels through the Strait of Hormuz.
Dollar down hard. What a difference a day makes.
HUI up 50. Looks like a mania! Volume good in the first 15 minutes.
Something going on under the surface?
Will the Algo’s sell this huge gap up opening and will that selling be jumped on……with PM’s moving like this the shares are the bargain of the century down here…..the shorts and there are boat loads are gonna get slaughtered.
looks like ystdy was justa small C wave down…if we take out 4450 plus, then we run twds 4700 plus…just on an equal swing tgt…waves should start expanding now, if we go parabolic…..
Rates were down a little yesterday too.
Did they just shake the tree to get some longs to puke yesterday like they did last week?
Do we resume our recent rise or does that only happen if SM strength resumes?
I have no clue.
PM’s just popped bigly in the last few minutes. Yeah baby!
Goldie – I’d think they’d discuss it if they felt they were too low on munitions, but still unable to stop Iran from flying drones and firing missiles at their neighbors to disrupt the flow of oil.
maddog – sounds good to me. If that’s the case, then we should start to see oil stabilize and retreat back toward $60 soon, as the world gets re-supplied.
And the USD.
With increase in bonds I checked to see if the Fed is buying to bring down inflation, what a oxymoron besides the NY Fed desk vs QE and they stopped their QT. Yes they did and said they will pause till end of Sept I’m assuming although NY Fed will maintain the Bank reserves by roll overs.
The Federal Reserve recently engaged in Reserve Management Purchases (RMPs), buying roughly $40 billion per month in short-term U.S. Treasury bills (T-bills). The Fed initiated these purchases to accommodate growing bank reserve demands and maintain ample financial system liquidity, but announced a pause/halt to these specific T-bill purchases.
I’m hearing from Tousi and VDH that the US has near total control of Hormuz, all the Iranians can do is be a nuisance and nearly every action they take is a suicide one.
You wiped the Iranian armed forces out in days , it was an extraordinary example of how very, very good you and the Israeli’s are. All iran has left is the Army and that has no aircover….The thinking now is that the physical siege combined with the financial one being run by Bessant, will collapse the regime soon…..Having Bessant run the financial squeeze, is v smart……making life hell for people that throw gays off buildings , must be a real pleasure.
If not fake news about MTG or National security I can only wonder what they would think that would accomplish other than polluting other countries and instigating retaliation by playing dirty.
Yes, what you say is true. Although now the Rothschilds control the flow of information through Reuters, we just have no idea whether it’s accurate or false. The Iran war is a perfect example. We have no idea who actually controls the strait of Hormuz. Trump is his own news outlet. 🤣
My point was rather algorithms and trading behavior. If you watch trades go through, you can see a multitude of trading in lots of 10 shares or less. I’ve seen one share traded many times. They can flood the zone to bend direction and do it with speed. If you flood a stock with trades of 10 shares at continually lower or higher prices, you can manage direction. We see this all the time.
BTW – I don’t know if anyone saw but on my YouTube feed there was some video clickbait headline “Marjorie Taylor Greene said the National Security Team at the White House was discussing the use of tactical nukes in Iran.”
I’m not sure that would surprise me.
Back in the 70′ and 80’s if I wanted to buy a stock I had to telephone a broker, or call in to my bank. They always had the edge on me, maybe by days rather than nanoseconds as now, but everything moved slower back then. We have much, much quicker access to data now than we did fifty years ago but sure, they are still ahead of us. Actually, with online brokerage we used to be able to move markets ourselves.
Think back to the story of Nathan Rothschild moving the markets by spreading rumours about Napoleon being victorious at Waterloo, before cleaning up by buying everything at the bottom. Because he had a private hi-speed courier bring him the news, hours or even days before the official version was available.

Everything is getting quicker, but the principles remain the same.
Mr Copper reminded me in 2000 I got to know a friend of my great aunts who contacted me and let me know someone’s preying on her at a vulnerable end times told me in a conversation her husband also a friend sold his business back when and got a cash deal on a large gated home with indoor pool and was cashing out CDs years later according to his wife all over the place in the 2000s. I can’t blame people for being afraid but with lower debt they could of bought short term treasuries or CDs to offset inflation rather than doing nothing. .By the 80s it was too late if you didn’t already have gold phyzz and or stocks.
I’ll bet the farm on cheap PM’s in hand .
…just run into a double bottom with silver @ 63.50 ?? looks like the sellers ran into pretty solid support 63.50 – give or take a nickle.
…i may have spoken too soon under the influence of hopium.
Yeah those too. Point is, it would seem unrealistic to expect to see those high rates again with out seeing the death trows of the dollar and default which would be pretty unsettling to see with no where to go except gold as that would likely affect the stock market too. Even now gold is seeing less and less competition by elimination and ironically the ones doing it are golds adversary’s.
The vast majority were scared to death that rates would go even higher and that inflation would keep going higher…….only later, much later did people wish they had booked high rates…..but rates had climbed from @ 4 %..so they were right not to book 8, 9, 12 , 14 etc……of course a lucky few did have rollovers that coincided, and they never had to worry again for 30 years !!!!!
I think most people were buying maybe 1 to 5 CDs, not knowing or thinking about bonds. I know of a builder that sold his silver and bought a house next door to me for $30,000 and made four apartments in it. Plus he put another 6 or eight unit apartment building in back of the house.
That seems to be the only thing they have left, the market. Would they even buy bonds uninsured that high these days with the level of debt without out fear of default? Then there’s even the stragic move of bringing money home through war and getting it out of banks and counties affected while printing dollars for war and buying or selling war machines and censoring on the excuse of security, ” How’s that working for Spain”, and who knows the extent of tax dependent jobs just in different forms. Migrants could be a big diversion.
It’s technology. They now have the ability to move all markets any way they want. This SM bull has been on autopilot since the 2008-09′ bottom, with the exception of the brief covid correction. The oil market is completely managed despite the wars.
The only question is when they will unplug the computer.
I bet people with a lot of cash on hand made some money those years. They probably sold their gold and silver for bonds, the market, then real estate, where some said they couldn’t give their house away.
