Loading ...Will there be follow up tomorrow? Stay tuned …
Anyone figure out why we’re higher today?
Everything is going against us except maybe the SM, but the SM has held strong while we’ve tanked the last 5 months.
I like the results, even sort of holding our gains into the close, but I’m confused by this.
No real volume, so we probably shouldn’t be holding up all day. I suppose they can get us here in the last 20 minutes.

I need your expertise to explain what I just saw on the comex… The registered silver available for delivery as of July one was around 95,000,000 ounces.. As of July 17, 11,258 Contracts had been stopped total and 56,000,000 ounces…. When I check the registered silver amount now it still says around 95,000,000 ounces… When I ask AI, why the discrepancy they say the silver does not leave the vault it just changes hands.. And then I ask a guy so you’re telling me it stays in the registered category and they said yes…. That just doesn’t make sense to me. Do you know all the tricks These magicians use? Thank you much for your advice..John
Seems so … I sure hope it’s true!

Not sure why we have any gains today
maybe because we just needed to decompress a little?
Otherwise, everything going against us the same as it has been for the last 5+ months. I suppose the QQQ’s could just be dragging us along. Regardless, we’re going to need a couple months of this just to get back to where we were. Not complaining, any gains at this point are most welcome. 🙂
I wonder if rising rates and inflation will end up being our friend when all is said and done?
Sounds Reasonable

I’m shifting some exposure from energy equities to miners. I’m not bearish energy I just think the risk reward is less balanced.
I think gold is defending $4k well, rates have peaked, and central bank demand is quite strong at these levels. I think retail selling is pretty washed out and gold equity valuations are as attractive as I’ve ever seen them.
I think copper is holding up quite well against AI drama, whereas the equities have been punished very hard.
I also like lithium and uranium equities.

China’s Record (+200%) Gold Imports
‘Net imports of non-monetary gold increased 199% y/y to reach 151.6 tonnes in June, the highest since March 2024 (+137% in H1)’
rates, dollar and oil
all creeping up.
You know what that means….
Slowly chipping away
Silver still sporting 4.5% gains, but they are whacking away. Gold up $50 but was up $75 at one point.
This looks like the usual gap up and crap down the rest of the day. Hope not, but…

Have you researched anything to do with the Noahide Laws? Apparently, the International Jewish Congress is meeting on this in November? I find this interesting, sounds a lot like the upcoming New World Religion. It all sounds nice, unless you don’t agree with who their one true God is – then it’s curtains for you. #6 is going to put a damper on my love for a big fat steak! 🙂 – the vegetarians will celebrate it though! 🙂
I have this theory. These guys and the Muslims are going to agree on who the “One true God” is. He will end up being the antichrist. They’ll cut your head off if you don’t submit. It will become law.
The Seven Noahide Laws are universal moral commandments given to all humanity, prohibiting idolatry, blasphemy, murder, sexual immorality, theft, cruelty to animals, and mandating the establishment of justice.
The Seven Noahide Laws, according to Jewish tradition, are as follows:
- Do not worship idols – Recognize and honor the one true God, avoiding idolatry in any form Wikipedia+1.
- Do not curse God – Refrain from blasphemy or verbally disrespecting the Creator Chabad.org+1.
- Do not commit murder – Respect human life; taking a life is considered a violation of the sanctity of the world Chabad.org+1.
- Do not engage in illicit sexual relations – Prohibits adultery, incest, homosexual acts, and bestiality, emphasizing the sanctity of the family unit Chabad.org+2.
- Do not steal – Respect the property and rights of others, avoiding theft or fraud Chabad.org+1.
- Do not eat flesh taken from a living animal – Prevent unnecessary cruelty to animals, promoting compassion and ethical treatment of creatures Chabad.org+1.
- Establish courts of justice – Create a legal system to enforce these laws and maintain social order and justice Wikipedia+2.
These laws were given to Noah and his descendants after the Flood as a covenant for all humanity, forming a foundation for ethical behavior and moral responsibility. Observance of these laws by non-Jews is considered a path to righteousness and a place in the World to Come (Olam Ha-Ba), Wikipedia+1.
The Seven Noahide Laws are seen as a universal moral code, emphasizing respect for God, human life, family, property, animals, and justice, providing a framework for ethical living across cultures and religions Chabad.org+1.
More from the quran.
Women (again, that is the title) vv 89-91.
“They wish you would disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so you may all be alike. So do not take them as allies unless they emigrate in the cause of God. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and do not take any of them as allies or helpers, except those who are allies of a people you are bound with in a treaty or those wholeheartedly opposed to fighting either you or their own people. If God had willed, He would have empowered them to fight you. So if they refrain from fighting you and offer you peace, then God does not permit you to harm them. You will find others who wish to be safe from you and their own people. Yet they cannot resist the temptation ˹of disbelief or hostility˺. If they do not keep away, offer you peace, or refrain from attacking you, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them. We have given you full permission over such people.”
Hmm…this came in my inbox
To the people I love the most in this world,
This is really tough to send because it matters what you all think of me. Even though I’m your dad, I still want you to like me. The risk of being called crazy vs. the outside chance of preparing you for what may come is one I’ll take 100% of the time, and so will you if the time comes with those you love.
By now, you know that I believe Jesus is who He said He was. I’ve spent the better part of 3 years studying His word at least 2-3 hours daily, using some of the best scholars that teach the Bible verse by verse. They take the Bible literally. This is not about religion; Jesus was the most anti-religious guy on the planet. This is not about going to church, it’s about a personal relationship with the creator and accepting His gift of grace. I spent a lot of years trying to understand the truth about why things are the way they are, and for me, the Bible has the answers. I see the fruit of it in my life. Hopefully you see positive change in me as well.
I’m not sending this to you to scare you or sway you. I don’t think I’m capable of that anymore. Each of you are on your own journey, and God has granted you free will to make your own decisions. This is the last time I will mention anything to you about my faith. So here goes:
The bible has been unbelievably accurate from a prophetic standpoint. It is being proven more and more by archaeology and even secular science. Pretty much every prophecy has been fulfilled to this point in time. I’m sure generations of people thought it was the end of days many times over the centuries with plagues, natural disasters and world wars. You can imagine the Jews probably thought it was the end with Hitler, but there was one prophecy that had yet to be fulfilled that prevented the end from coming, and that was Israel becoming a nation again.
What remains now is the “time of Jacob’s (Israel’s) trouble” or the 7-year tribulation. A time of great upheaval on the earth like has never been seen before. Jesus describes the events in Matthew 24 verses 3 to 31, it culminates with Jesus’ 2nd coming.
However, there is one event that takes place just prior to the tribulation period that is hard to imagine, even for me. It is called the rapture of the church. Scholars don’t all agree on this, or its timing, but there’s more than enough scriptural evidence and typology for it that they probably should. This is when Jesus appears in the clouds and calls His followers to come up and be with Him in heaven, protecting them from the tribulation. Christian’s call this “the Blessed Hope.” It happens in the twinkling of an eye, faster than a blink. While scholars don’t all agree on the rapture, they do all agree on His 2nd coming and the tribulation.
More importantly, I’ll tell you who else believes what the Bible says, the Satanic Epstein class. These are the real power brokers and money behind nations and governments that make the rules for the rest of us. You’ve heard me speak names like the Rothschild’s before. There’s a reason why most of the names on the Epstein list will never be released or prosecuted. The real power will never allow it. Trump is subservient to them, as are most world leaders, and world institutions like the UN, WEF, WHO, etc. They own the Davos crowd, Hollywood celebrities, politicians, media, banking and the heads of major corporations. There was a lot more that went on at Epstein Island than just old men and underage girls.
These ruling elites and secret societies all worship and derive their power from demonic influence. The same demonic influence that has been around for thousands of years and requires blood sacrifice. This is why the same familial bloodlines continue to be the ruling classes century after century. This subject has been written about ad nauseam for the last few decades. It is not hard to find, and not new information.
Anyway, you guys can see what’s happening in the world. Wars, famines, pestilence, earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, Hurricanes (I’m well acquainted) are all increasing in number and severity. Earthquakes have increased 15% since May alone. Something else is also happening though, the elites are speeding things up. Besides building their bunkers, there’s this rush to build these data centers and AI is advancing rapidly. Apparently, Trump’s ballroom is a lot more than just a ballroom. It’s 6 stories below the surface; and a hospital is rumored to be on the bottom floor. The elites know that something is coming and they intend to hunker down and ride it out. They also believe they can live forever with the advent of transhumanism, which, as I understand it is technology that keeps the brain alive. I am less informed on the mechanics of this, but even Elon Musk with his Neuralink chip said that he will be able to do “Jesus’ level” things for people – help the blind see, the paralyzed walk, the deaf hear, etc. Technology is moving at lightning speed.
Maybe more importantly, the government is now “disclosing” their alien information, coinciding with Steven Spielberg making a movie saying people will doubt their religion. All of a sudden, they want us to believe aliens exist and they’ve been around forever, after trying to hide it for decades. Why now?
Lastly, I think most of us can feel a “shift” or an uneasiness in the air, kind of like something is different, we just can’t put our finger on what. Time seems to be speeding up. You can go on YouTube and hear people talking about this, wanting to know if anyone else feels the same.
What I’m getting at is that if we suddenly see millions of people vanish and know they are Christians, then we’ll know that the Bible is true. We’ll also know where to look to figure out what’s coming next. The good news is that during the tribulation there will be more people saved than any period in history and the Lord will still be around to help. The bad news is that we will have to suffer in a world that will be really ugly and being Christian is a death sentence.
The government will never tell us the truth about what happened, they’ll blame aliens or something else, but it won’t be the truth.
The tricky part is there will be a lot of people left behind that thought they were the faithful, including pastors and probably the Pope. Many churches will still be full. Some will agree that it couldn’t have been the rapture and side with the official story. Others will know right away what happened and drop to their knees.
OK, so that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. At least if the interpretation is correct and it takes place, you’ll know the truth. I’m just looking at the world around me and I no longer recognize it. I can’t remember a time with so much upheaval on the earth. Politicians no longer hide their corruption, and AI is making it really tough to discern reality. We can no longer rely on our own eyes. At the same time, it’s an amazing time to be alive to watch my children and grandchildren grow and prosper in a very difficult world.
If I’m wrong about all this, you are free to save the email, print it out, and read it at my eulogy while having a good laugh.
I love you all more than you could ever imagine. I am so grateful that I have been blessed to have such wonderfully successful and genuinely good people for kids.
Thanks for letting me get this off my shoulders, the spirit has been heavy on me to do this for a long time now. I just haven’t had the courage.

I can’t see anything that would drive this.
Dollar, rates and oil are all flat. SM getting a nice bump with the QQQ futures up more than 1%
Maybe just a very oversold bounce. Hope it can sustain itself when the US markets open.

Sorry to see Australia head down that road. People just won’t see it until certain locales in their own country are suddenly subject to Sharia Law. Intolerant and violent towards people who don’t believe exactly what they do. If they didn’t bother people of other creeds and morality then no one would mind them much. But that’s not the case, they are aggressive and often criminals as well.
Any at all coming in is too many.
ipso, Alex, and yet in Australia that little conversation is now probably criminalised.
Because our beloved leader Albanese has decreed that any hatred towards islam is now a criminal offence. Galloping headlong down the European road towards national suicide. Once again, words are bastardised to mean something different – islamophobia literally means ‘fear of islam’, not hatred of islam. But, who cares about meanings, and what does ‘hatred’ mean anyway?
So I figured I’d better start to see what this islam, apparently the religion of peace, is all about, starting by reading the quran. I just started from the beginning, and in book two, The Cow (yes, that is what it is titled), verse 217 says
“They ask you ˹O Prophet˺ about fighting in the sacred months. Say, “Fighting during these months is a great sin. But hindering ˹others˺ from the Path of God, rejecting Him, and expelling the worshippers from the Sacred Mosque is ˹a˺ greater ˹sin˺ in the sight of God. For persecution is far worse than killing. And they will not stop fighting you until they turn you away from your faith—if they can. And whoever among you renounces their own faith and dies a disbeliever, their deeds will become void in this life and in the Hereafter. It is they who will be the residents of the Fire. They will be there forever.”
So it is better to kill, than to be persecuted. Verse 218 says:
“Surely those who have believed, emigrated, and struggled in the Way of God—they can hope for God’s mercy. And God is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
Anyway, we’ll see where this journey goes. But here is a fundamental difference – Allah says kill the persecutors, Jesus says, rejoice in persecution for His sake, and bless your enemies. Seems clear so far which is the religion of peace …..
