Why do you describe LLM AI users as ‘dross’?
These huge data centres are dinosaurs before they have hatched.
Small Language Models will dominate the revenue earning AI applications. Specific databases for specific purposes, such as writing legal contracts, researching medical issues and other research topics. An LLM isn’t effective for these applications with trillions of data units to sort through rather than the SLM which has only the relevant 10bn to 15bn data bits, and runs on a desktop computer.
LLMs will only be for limited commercial applications, and the internet dross of people using it as a super google search engine, or as a companion. Which won’t pay. Massive mis-allocation of capital will crash the AI and chip stocks, and nuclear power companies.
Cascadia subduction zone
A fault off the coast of North Calif all the way to Canada is showing activity. It may be slowly dying but will the activity have any ability to move the rocks or set off a quake? This zone can cause a long lasting powerful quake followed by a tsunami that can get as high depending on data 100 to 1000 ft high.
That would eliminate a lot of Democrat antifa.
Last time parts of the cost sunk down as rocks beneath that were moved up dropped back down then swallowed up by the ocean. That was in 1700. The indigenous people who survived back then still carry story’s about it. They had no tsunami warning and they couldn’t see it coming because it came at night. It was like a wall of water they couldn’t see the top suddenly appeared. Near term it’s still there but apparently it’s starting to break apart. Question is what new thing will appear.

Supply issues
I am looking for ways to buy from local suppliers, particularly food. Especially if they deliver. 🙂 I found through life extension they have virgin olive oil from California. Other states may grow them too but closer than Europe. It’s not only good for brain health and some forms of cancer but virgin olive oil not the others helps bones too amongst other things. But if it sits around it can go rancid and become cancerous just as well. I read that Amazon gets old supplies. Same with peanut butter, a storage food for kids it can go rancid. I want things like that with a harvest date not just use by date. They could be sitting on ships for months in all kinds of weather and shelves just as long. Fortunately we have a lot of farmers markets around here too since weather allows longer growing seasons. For things we can’t store long term if the stores run empty.
Defensive
Which they’re not mentioning while they talk about equities and tech tech tech AI AI AI which they’re also going to use AI to monitor workers. Might be some good in that but potential for abuse. Hey I know your busy delivering one order to that table right now and taking another order right after but go get that other empty table ready right now.
I decided I can have multi bank accounts without having accounts which might protect you from the Trudeau’s of the world of one bank or having your eggs in one basket through CDs. Might be a good idea for Europe especially after what they did to Vietnam erasing bank accounts if they didn’t get their digital ID. For now till they get wind of it anyways. Maybe Starmer might get that idea from Vietnam himself. Confiscate or delete accounts.

Its not just what he does tell you which is pretty much predictable at this point, nothing to see here everything fine, but what they don’t tell you people better be looking for and have their own plan on what they’re next moves will be.

Things are changing a bit where what Power says may not hold much weight especially knowing his bias and how they have made the mistake of driving housing prices through the roof keeping interest rates too low too long even buying mortgage backed securities up to first raise and tightening in 22 one more time, the wasteful cost of their new Fed resort that what ever they have in mind doesn’t benefit the economy but the CE0s of bankers and stock boards not for balance but for unfair profit and outright theft to the economy.

A good move taking profits off the table while those who are buying the ETFs and funds are told to buy them instead of gold right now maybe so they can sell left in the dark.

Totally agree. Powell is trying to save face with his anti Trump constituents. With approximately $1 trillion of debt needing to be rolled over in the near future, the knee jerk reaction by the algos is insane!
JMHO
Whatever Powell said
He’s bluffing. The dollar is screaming higher and despite the scum’s best efforts we are fighting them off.

I’m sure it’s a good move. Who would know better than the insiders!
Will be interesting
To see how the pm’s react to the Fed. Maybe more importantly is what Powell says, if they are ending QT, if he sees inflation moderating. In other words-dovish. It would be a change for him.

I got this in a email today from a reliable source.
Palantir’s Alex Karp has lined up nearly $2 billion in stock sales. Nvidia’s Jensen Huang has already sold around $40 million of his own shares, and plans to liquidate another $800 million.
Wow! Overvalued much …
NVDA’s market cap now equals 16% of the US GDP
XAU/Gold
Communication from Eric King to Mark Lundeen:
Mark, King World News has been featuring the attached image over and over again of the XAU vs Gold. Because when you look at the XAU chart, it appears that gold stocks have had some type of incredible run, which is patently false when measured vs Gold (see attached chart). Yes, they have risen, in some cases quite dramatically, but vs Gold, the entire complex remains at the most historically undervalued level or range ever seen in history.

Are we bottoming?
Yes I know that’s an unfair question! 🙂
Are we going into a recession?

Senate Judiciary Launches Probe Into Gates Foundation’s Alleged Funding Of Chinese Military Fronts

I think you’re right. There’s nothing really working against pm’s right now other than the paper players.
The timing for them was good before a Fed meeting, and the fact that we were so overbought. They temporarily brought in enough physical silver at the LBMA to pull it off I guess, but demand should still be strong, and if you wanted silver at $54, you’d surely want it at $48.
I wonder if there is any available silver in India yet. Doesn’t seem like supply problems get solved overnight like that.
.25 basis point cut?
If the Fed cuts 25 basis points ( and leans slightly dovish), it will give us a good tailwind.
Exactly why the correction was so quick and violent; the scum knew what was going to happen this week, and wanted the metals to be climbing out of a hole instead of launching higher from the $4200/4300 range.
Punching back
Despite the dollar and rates being a little higher. Was just about that time I guess.
Shares look strong premarket.
Everything could change after the Fed speaks this afternoon.
May the bounce back be every bit as violent as the selloff!! 🙂
