In my view all commodities are priced in Dollars, so when the Dopey/Dollar drops all the other currencies generally go up, inverse.

One Week Bars shows the USD got above normal for 7 weeks above 100, so maybe it will start dropping for a while now.

Ipso – so sad what the EU is doing to its people. All intentional. It’s hard for me to understand that kind of evil, although I don’t doubt it’s coming here after the completion of the data centers. Why is it that we outnumber the elites by millions and yet allow them to do stuff like this to us?
maddog – I’m guessing you’ve noticed the move in the Yen today – crazy. What’s your take on it?
That is slick about what Starlink has done. It also might be dangerous. Seems like if they get rid of all the books, after a few generations they’ll be able to completely rewrite history. Although I guess in many ways they already have.
I agree you are right, thats why I only put up $1943, if it drops 10% its only $200. However its up again by 58% so now my total is $3224 a $1306 gain. Now I have to decide whether to cash out or double the shares from 40 to 80.
Crazy lows sometimes lead to crazy highs and vice versa.
Re Books….that is a tragedy…..one is surprised to see anyone could be that callous, or stupid.
That said I have just ordered a Starlink web system and as in most companies the first contact is an AI machine…except this is like nothing you have ever spoken to, it is another entity to chat to, you can interrupt, change the conversation mid sentence and it behaves just like a human, giving answers immediately, with not the slightest hesitation, it welcomes you as a valued client and ends the conversation perfectly.
It is shockingly good…..yes AI may be a bubble but life will never be the same again……and what a slick Co Starlink is.

🦔AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they’re free of AI-generated text. A federal judge ruled the practice is fair use because eliminating the original means only one copy exists at a time. Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books partnerships to obtain “all the books in the world.”
My Take
This got to me. A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email.
ISBNdb’s website literally says “‘AI company destroys two million books’ is not a headline that generates sympathy,” and they still built an entire business around making it happen quietly. They offer NDAs as a feature. They coach clients to call it “digital preservation.”
Well, no sh*t. If you estimate revenues at $75 an ounce and you don’t adjust them down with the metal price, then yeah, they’re going to effing miss. That’s why the stock has been crushed. But they sell it today anyway with silver up and the dollar getting spanked.
What a country.

yesterday’s losses wiped out by the open. So good.
PM’s can barely get out of their own way.
At least at the open we’re going to get a post Fed meeting rally in the SM, which is usually the norm. Whether they can hold it might be another question.
Looks like the pm sector will be allowed to participate unless things go south.
The dollar is continuing down from yesterday, and now down almost 1% since the announcement. Course pm’s aren’t getting nearly the bounce they should be.
Another day.
Adding aggravating factors to the ones caught because they are threatening telecommunications.

I don’t like giving advice so what I would do is get the heck out while your ahead less you know of any plans they have for making money. It only went up because it did a reverse split limiting shares thats all. Unless something happen they are going to make money the general pattern of these reverse splits it that they go back down.
Thanks for the charts! I’m ready for the turn!
Now Now the situation is just “temporarily hopeless!” 🙂
I hope there’s hell just so Fauci can reside there. If anyone deserves it!
