Yeah a biggie for us if these Demotards remain in office. They gotta get money some how to pay all their debt they caused. Who are they gonna look at? The citizens that they’re already dumping debt on with inflation tax and undoing any help or solution As long as it’s someone else they’re dumping on not gonna care. They’re like a financial black hole.

I keep rolling up in Windows
They get me good on all my subscriptions across the board anymore. Windows 10 to 11 is only free to roll up into for a while longer from my recollection.

I still use windows 8 on my laptop because my copy of excel and my copy of quickbooks run on it and I don’t care to change. The charting software I used no longer will run on windows 8. So I use the charting app on my ipad and take screen shots which may not have the best resolution. But on my ipad I can expand the posted screen shots but maybe other devices will not.
Thanks for letting me know.

I have a hard time seeing those stock symbols Aurum
It would be a good cheat to list the stock next to the chart; otherwise, there is too much ambiguity at this resolution. It seems that we used to click on things and it opened in another viewer, it might be because I use a script blocker for ads.
I can hold down Control and use the + and – keys to zoom in, but they look grainy.
Did you guys know that in Windows 11, connect a microphone, if you hold down the Windows Keyboard button with the H key it will take voice and type words for you. It’s really handy. I also like Windows Key + E for Explorer shortcut.

Israeli Forces Attack Iran With “Precise Strikes On Military Targets” In Retaliatory Response
Israel attacked Iran early Saturday morning local time with what it’s referred to as “precise strikes on Iranian military targets,” weeks after the Islamic Republic fired around 180 ballistic missiles towards Israel on Oct. 1. Blasts were reported near the headquarters of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

Seems to me we are at the start of a historic bull run in the metals. Anybody who is selling their shares here is totally wrong … unless they are short term trading and think they are nimble enough to game the market. I’m sticking around for the long haul.

Thanks for the ideas. I’ll take a closer look at those I’m not familiar with.

Great ideas I found on the Oasis Forum
These are risky even more so than usual pm’s.
so dyodd

And short the spx
A chart that can go either way

But I have my problems
I knew the Fed would lower possibly 50 pts.
luckily a bought TLT a fair ways down the downslope but still sitting on an ugly position
missed a chance to get out with a small loss but was sure i was right

Buygold 15:41
Well if the Fed is selling and the banks are tightening so to speak and dollar rising then maybe the Fed is preparing for the next interest rate drop even though their doing the contrary right now to try to fend off a dollar freefall from the lowering of rates in the process. Just a guess.

Just to pick two of my positions. A silver and a gold. If you bought either coming out of the consolidation you would be fine.
We imo have more upside before things turn really ugly.

added:
I would not buy these now without a pullback

I consider this week a win for the good guys
Gold Tent in the City for the Weekend

ipso facto
Patience mon ami…patience…..I still see huge bases that are just beginning to be left behind in some shares.
Here are two articles…1 knocking PM shares, tks to NEM being gamed and the 2nd telling punters to buy a semi stock hand over fist
The Rig goes on….but as long as metal prices keep going, then the shorts who are clearly still pileing on in the PM stox…are a bomb waiting to go off……stox could start jumping 10 % a day……after all who is gonna sell to these bums…not us for sure.
I doubt the shorts will rest easy this weekend….with Silver eyeing the all time Highs @ $ 50.00

I was doing well until a few days ago. Now I’m fairly well bruised.
Not too worried. Probably a lot of people who have had losses have sold now that they’re even.
Buygold re: Palladium ( Pd )
Palladium is an excellent catalyst . Before I retired I was the technical exchange engineer for two corporations which had bought into the patents of a catalytic process using palladium doped resins , one in S. Korea the other in USA .
Pd has gone from about $ 900 an ounce about six weeks ago to almost $1200 today .
I suspect Putin is saying FU to Biden/Harris ( and by extension , Obama and Victoria Nuland for the Ukraine/Zelensky/NATO mess ) and the DC neocons . We are not all buying EV’s yet , so catalytic converters are still a steady market .
Ipsofacto
Dunno what ur seeing, as I know u watch a wide range of the PM stox….but some juniors i have are flying, despite the majors being well capped, tks to the drubbing NEM had ystdy…..
Maddog, Goldie & COT’s
Bonds really getting dumped this afternoon. 10 yr. spiked from 4.2% to 4.24 in the last couple of hours. That would explain the dollar strength then.
Maddog you’re right, it could get ugly. To be honest, I’m stunned at how well our metals are holding up in the face of the relentless dollar rally. The Fed is going to break something if they don’t get a grip on things. Maybe gold is sniffing it out. Gold is going to finish at the highs of the day.
I’m also surprised at tech, although it’s just a few shares controlling the market.
Here’s the COT Report.
Seems pretty tame.

It reduces the money supply because banks have to buy them as far as I know.
So what,,, they swamped with IOUs and as inflation rises more people taking loans through credit get maxed out and then could default on those loans. But don’t worry the Fed will come to the rescue and buy bonds expanding the money supply to backs creating more inflation. Right now it looks like they want their cake and eat it too but down the road as aforementioned then what.
Buygold
Yes Bonds need to be watched…someone sure is dumping, by the looks….much more and this could get v ugly, TA wise…..
