another 14 year high in the HUI. What’s interesting is that Barrick looks like it wants to participate. Caution warranted on B though with the RSI at 75.

Crypto losing ground again.

What’s it all mean??? 🙂

But it feels like the scum are using the US $ (and perhaps still trying to squeeze any remaining “shorts”), to create a more manageable “level” for Gold and Silver to take off from (in case Powell’s speech is interpreted to be dovish and percentages increase for a few cuts in interest rates).

For many years now, we’ve seen their playbook and how they work. Makes me think that “levels” are an important part of that playbook.

Shares are blowing up.

WPM making a perfect bounce off the 50 day.

I don’t know what will happen when Powell yaps tomorrow, or even if we can hold this all day, but the shares would seem to indicate we will.

$38 breached but look at them battle over $3350. All this in the face of a stronger dollar, higher rates, and a weak SM. Go figure.

The PMI numbers were strong. Especially manufacturing.

over recent Russian drone and missile attacks on Ukraine … right in the midst of a peace process. (maybe)

… but there’s no cease fire, no agreements, the war is still on … still it seems Putin could back off a bit if just in a good faith gesture.

If socialism is government owning the means of production, wouldn’t the government owning part of Intel be a step toward socialism?

Terrible idea.

JD has his head up Peter Thiel’s butt … meaning he’s a full blown bought and paid for technocrat … so unless you want a control state that looks like China … you don’t want him.

But will Tulsi deliver America from the entrenched commies in DC?

Probably not … but it would be better to have somebody who appears to be incorruptible, sensitive to what America really needs, and willing to act no matter the personal consequences – which all points to a smaller and more sensible Federal government – not the bloated plaything of deranged foreign interests who have been running the country into the ground for personal benefit (commies) … because this is going to happen no matter what …

Judge Napolitano: The U.S. Will Go Bankrupt, Collapse & Break Up

People are beginning to increasingly talk this way now because you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see it coming … just not delusional.

Go local folks … support the people who support you.

Mornin all

Doesn’t look like a buying day less they day or two trade before Powell or the weekend though. Just slow for longs. I’m going to nurse my sprained ankle after yesterday’s activity’s and just watch when I can. So much hypocrisy out there right now it deserves no attention anyways.

about an hour ago and we were going to give up yesterday’s gains.

Doesn’t look too bad now, things might still be lost, but the numbers must have been soft.

Dollar is drifting back toward neutral.

I hope them asking Trump for security isn’t going to wind up a bait and switch. I hope they’re is a stipulation in that the deals off if they violate any peace agreement and try to use that agreement as a weapon for bait and switch so people know ahead of time what the consequence will be.

Right on point, well said.

I’ve always liked Faber, and had a few email exchanges with him some years ago. He’s never really been right about gold but nobody has. I listened until he trashed Trump.

I have zero respect for any white European who trashes Trump. They lost the right when they elected the likes of Starmer, Macron, Tusk, Merk and the rest of them. The arrogance of slaves whose leaders want WWIII and have destroyed their white populations is beyond reproach. Faber needs a mirror.

Was hoping to see some follow thru this am but it doesn’t look like we’ll get it.

The dollar is flat with rates up 2 bips. Oil is a winner up 1%, back above $63. Bitcoin down .62%

Gold down $8 and silver $.14. Shares a little weaker too. Nothing too scary.

We do have some eco data that will probably matter. We have the flash PMI’s and Housing sales. Throw in the Philly Fed numbers and there’s a trifecta of news. PMI’s probably the most important.

It’s back to Jackson Hole. I’m not sure I remember a time when pm’s performed well in this two-day period, but ya never know, we’re in a different market now. Powell speaks tomorrow.

I bet a nickel she got the one who put her on the “Do Not Fly” list during the Biden era. 🙂

Colonel Tulsi Gabbard is my Hawaii homegirl.  Hard to believe she came out of our deep blue state, but military combat experience hardens people to stark reality.

Cutting off a security clearance is the ultimate power.  No need to ‘fire’ someone.  They are powerless without a clearance and cannot work for the government… nor government contractor.  It slams the employment door shut.   Then they have to find a real job… productive in the private sector.

Yes… I dared use the ‘Cure’ word that ‘medical’ prohibits!  I am not a medical doctor, and this is not medical advice, but…

Ivermectin and Fenbendazole work to rid the body of cancer… sometimes.  But work best when the cancer is weakened and not growing.  Thomas Seyfried shows how the ‘medical’ approach to cancer as a ‘genetic’ disease is all wrong.  Cancer is a metabolic disease.  Cancer cells live on sugars, glucose, not on oxygen.  Therefore cancer can be starved to death with a proper ‘Keto’ diet.  When starved this way with diet alone, the cancer can be eliminated from the body with the parasite killers, Ivermectin and Fenbendazole.  That’s how one achieves the complete ‘cure’.

I hope a few people will read that article.  It’s a wake up call! SNG

a vance/gabbard ticket in ’28 & ’32  would be good, and a gabbard/xxx ticket in ’36 isn’t the worst thing we could look forward to…

From what I know Tulsi would make a great president!

… she is doing her part … and she is just getting started … JD must be pooping cubes .. she will teach the boys a thing or two.
