China Is Now Where The USA Was In 1975
Rates back below the magic number
10 yr @ 4.47% down from 4.62%
Dollar strengthened a bit because of it.
Have to love the reaction, SM pops, pm’s soften a little, but pm shares pop with the SM. Dollar slips back a little and pm’s rise.
THIS IS NORMAL MARKET ACTION!?

I’m not seeing the ones into Bitcoin as Trump haters. Actually it would be kinda hypocritical if they did as far as getting out of fiat instead of making money out of it but might be a geographical thing and now tarriffs in their own interest even though they know things aren’t working the way they are now.
I just don’t see …
… how small juniors don’t start outperforming here …

The ratio is clearly at an extreme.
This would signal the end of the sector intermediate term move is still weeks away – maybe May.
This would signal a correction into Fall (tops in May often bottom in November) – just like in year 2000 – the start of the last larger cycle move that lasted 10-years.
Cheers all

Chinas devaluation of their paper money results in inflation for the people over exports along with not raising wages or pensions I can guess if any and tarriffs going into Zee’s pockets while treating the citizens as slaves. They can’t even leave their neighborhood without permission from a ID machine. Their social programs and orphanages are horrible and if they have medical issues they let them die. But the left around the world want to follow that model that’s doomed to fail.
Ipso Trump has been criticizing the Fed for destroying this country was before he became president. One of the few billionaires who put principle over money or exploiting it for themselves. Why should the Fed care if there’s no one that will hold them accountable. Fed also gives in to corruption for a sort of quid quo pro. They bail each other out. They bail out banks, mortgage backed securities, hedge funds, in turn they buy treasuries.They lose nothing the people lose everything.
I can understand what you mean though like if the traitors were in charge again but Powell isn’t exactly working for the people anyways.
I can’t read this article because I don’t have premiuim
but I believe it’s an important point in that a weaker dollar will offset the tariffs by making our goods more affordable overseas.
China has been getting away with this for decades. I’m pretty sure the administration wants a weaker dollar as inflation cools, and they are getting both right now. The cog in the wheel for them is the Bond market. They definitely don’t want rates out of control.
I give it another week before Trump starts getting really loud and up in the Fed’s face about lowering rates by any means necessary. Probably QE.
Don’t think any scenario at the moment is bad for our metals though.
…stronger currencies in other countries gives the administration a convenient off-ramp to soften still onerous tariffs further.

I’ve got a warm tingly feeling all over. It’s time to get solvent!

I guess when the midgets get going it’s probably confirmation of the “generational” bull in pm’s?
Silver very quietly up over a buck. I like it, keep it quiet.
It’s called getting out of West Africa!

The market cap for Leviathan is 6.71M. Tiny! I think Parker Schnabel’s co is worth more!
I have a few from a spin off.
Ouch
Just looked at the bond market and they are getting crushed.
Maybe some truth to a $2 Trillion blow up?
What then does Powell and Bessent do?

Midgets doing very well today! Even some of those with their sites trained on 0 are moving higher …
Maddog – NEM
was an $80 stock in 2011 – $55 now.
If gold keeps running but more importantly starts to move up towards $50
NEM at $80 might look cheap.
I would also hope that we start to see some consolidation and some of these midgets get taken over.
Midgets set to move?
Dolly Varden, Goliath, Tower Hill and I’m sure others I don’t watch catching a bid. No volume yet, but moving the asks.

Good Morning $71 Up Day in Gold
I like these channels, it gives you the feel for the physical markets.
Been like that a lot lately

Re shabby……completely agree….though when I saw how pissed off the Crapto world was ….I couldn’t help but think, who better to be side swiped like that…..
NEM plus near8% ..while GDX up less than 6 %….looks like some shorts are throwing in the towel…this could really run, as only God knows how short they are
the SEC sure don’t and even if they did, they clearly don’t care.

“apoplectic”
Well when you invest in the Emperor’s invisible new clothes …. ![]()
That whole episode of Trump issuing his own crapto coins was a rather shabby affair. We don’t need the Pres doing this sort of thing.
Silver breaking the 2% rule
Hard to imagine what these shares will look like if silver gets going and the SM stabilizes.
As I type it looks like they’re taking their first shot at slowing us down.
Crazy, but beautiful so far.

Re Trump and Powell
I would be wary of anything coming out about Trump from the Crapto world, they really hate Trump, after he floated those two Crapto Coins and walked off with another fortune……it really got under their skin, as he made it all look so easy……he ruined their pitch, of how hard it was to mine/create coins….
I have an ex mate who is apoplectic about Trump, after that scam….and it seems so are loads of other Crapto hucksters.
