That’s true, I’m currently getting everything I see as important enough that I haven’t already given to who I want it to go or fairly and minor custodial trusts in my Trust as possible right now. Should of already been done but since things can change that’s okay too. In the US one thing you have to watch out for a protect assets is the possibility of long term care to protect a spouse or heirs.
Two never put no CPR on directives. Too many including medical can become confused between when they’re dying and some sudden acute event like a stroke, heart attack, illness, or injury. To instruct those you chose only in the act of dying when beyond medical help but also comfort care to address pain, oxygen, hydration whatever you would help prevent suffering and distress. To also know the difference between brain injury, stroke, illness that can be helped with good care or even recover and brain dead. That saying some injury does not mean theyre dead.

BREAKING: The US strikes on Iran are “four or five times bigger in scope and power” than the previous strikes 10 days ago and are “the most intense US attacks on Iran since the April ceasefire,” per US officials.
The strikes are expected to continue “for some time tonight, perhaps hours.”

Of course you can put your money in fiat and unless you invest in something that keeps up with inflation or buy tangibles at a discount in the fall your in the same situation with even less control.
PS with the phyzz when it drops your less likely going to sell it and if you do that quarter and now silver dime will still buy you a dollars or gallon of gas either way.

What I see is called the definition of INSANITY. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results! That’s like going to the Casino and dropping silver dollars into the rigged slot machine, one by one, until they’re all gone! Then going out and getting another pocket full of silver dollars, coming back and doing the same thing over and over again. “Yeah, but the glitter and glamor and excitement are so much fun…They’re addictive!….and one of these days we’re gonna WIN!” (or run out of money or become discouraged and quit).
I’ve posted this several times before and it has not been met with any belief or acceptance ..but this is what I believe is happening: You have a portfolio of stocks, ETF’s, etc, that your on-line Broker is holding in his account for you….and you buy the dips and keep adding to your PM holdings, expecting the shares to go up when you’ll cash out and become zillionaire! The shorts, who are controlling the markets, just borrow your own shares from your Broker (for a modest fee), so they are not naked short (so it’s legal), and they then use your own shares to suppress the price. Then the shorts return your shares to your Broker, and the share price goes nowhere. All legal, no short covering, Rinse and repeat! All FWIW and WTHDIK! SNG

BREAKING: A source close to Iran’s Ghalibaf says the likelihood of conflict in the coming hours is “serious” following the US revocation of Iran’s oil waivers, with Iran set to “intensify its crackdown in the Strait of Hormuz.”
The source calls the US action a “blatant violation” of the MOU, adding that prospects for negotiations on a final agreement are now “extremely bleak.”

BREAKING: The US is revoking Iran’s newly issued general license to export oil and is reimposing full sanctions on production and sales after Iran struck four commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz today, per a US official.
The US says Iran’s latest actions are “wholly unacceptable” and will be “met with consequences.”

Their economy sucks before and after war, war just gives them a excuse and one thing we have in common is other countries having their hand out too although more reactive then proactive idiotic schemes. That’s aside from the brutal internal troublemakers.
We can look at the condition of most of the world by the condition of our country since we have so many leeches attached like neutral gold as well as the condition it’s economic sister silver.

All political plays as usual. Remember in Feb the dollar headed straight down. Then suddenly who’s accumulating our dollar driving it straight up? If Europe wants to complain about us having enough sense to have a air conditioner for extreme weather event and wants to hide behind net zero, new world order and emboldening any kinda terrorist with open borders creating problems they think were always supposed to fix and sacrifice for so they don’t have to or change their ways and keep up the illusion they can do no wrong no matter how many die or lives ruined let’s get out our list.
Dollar if it goes up it’s only artificial not based of economics since they think we are supposed to be welfare for all these other countries constantly draining our resources not real anyways. There’s different ways to look at the dollar chart but it has made a head and shoulders and still is in a channel down.

The bottom falls out of the metals. The shares have been telegraphing for two days. No way GDX holds the latest bottom, unless we see some kind of miracle.

My thoughts on it. First of all Iran never attacked any other country. Allegedly they supported resistance groups. Meanwhile the USA was supporting the European colony they created in 1948. So what’s the difference?
Meanwhile, I think Iran was happy to get attacked, because it gave them the perfect excuse to attack US military bases that were around them, they attacked that European colony, and other surrounding countries that sided with USA.
Plus Iran is showing off their war abilities.
I just heard on the news, the US got pissed about the attacks and stopped allowing Iran to sell Oil so up it flew and pushed gold lower.

I also think Trump should have waited until the end of his term, to attack Iran, I don’t understand what the big hurry was all about after so many years of nobody doing anything.

I suspect it’s related to the suddenly higher oil price that started with the war, Miners burn a lot a lot of diesel fuel. Gold was high in February.

Oil was $60 in February, then suddenly it flew up past $100.

So far it looks like oil was the problem and with four tankers getting attacked, it pushed oil back up a little the past two days.

BREAKING: A fourth tanker has just been attacked and hit by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz US-backed southern corridor, struck by a drone and sustaining structural damage, per UKMTO.
This is the first time four vessels have been attacked in a single day since the war began.
Just 24 hours ago, UKMTO advised all ships to use the US-controlled southern corridor, claiming it’s the only “safe” route.

…certainly looks like an outlier…..
Not sure what’s going on with Iran, but it looks like they have to “jaw bone” ( and create skirmishes in the Straits of Hormuz) the price of oil higher ( they absolutely are scrounging for reserves). And the U.S desperately needs the price lower ( before mid-terms and to re-fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve).
And as the price of oil goes higher, the higher the demand for $US, and once again, the PM’s go lower……
Just the way the cookie crumbles….
