Loading ...Putin will get his guys out. Obama will golf his troubles away. Disgusting.
Looks like our morning pm gains are just about gone. Unbelievable.
Consumer Confidence
yeah, just another reason to put boots on the neck of pm’s, why not? It just never ends.
Mr. Copper – they only poll federal workers and 1% ers
Consumer confidence numbers come out high
What “CONSUMERS” are they polling?? Gov’t employees? Gov’t vendors? Gov’t supported industries?? They can’t be polling private sector.
Gaza conflict: Hamas says long-term truce agreed with Israel
Egypt has brokered an agreement on a long-term ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza, senior Palestinian officials have said.
Hamas negotiator Moussa Abu Marzouk said the deal to end seven weeks of fighting that has left more than 2,200 people dead would be announced shortly.
The Palestinians said Israel had agreed to ease its blockade of Gaza to allow in aid supplies and building materials.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli government.
Consumer confidence numbers come out high and gold gets bopped
as good an excuse as any …

I’m figuring Hitler’s invasion of Russia was accidental too, just a wrong turn on the hiway. 
Oh … and I’ll take that bet. The Ukranians will hold on to them for a while. JMO
Newmont abandons mining arbitration case against Indonesia
US-based mining giant Newmont (NYSE:NEM) has withdrawn an international arbitration filing against the Indonesian government, signalling an imminent end to its seven-month dispute that forced it to stop copper exports.
The Colorado-based miner requested arbitration in early July, seeking interim, injunctive relief to resume exports of red metal concentrate. Indonesia responded by asking Newmont to withdraw the lawsuit or risk losing its mining license.
The parts, reports Reuters, have reached a “constructive solution” over new mining rules with Newmont’s Indonesian CEO Martiono Hadianto saying he expects to “soon” resume operations at Batu Hijau copper mine, halted since early June.

You guys are acting like that Russian soldier didn’t accidentally make a wrong turn, like he got himself captured on purpose! 🙂
Putin meets with Porushenko today, you can bet Putin will have that soldier back by tonight.
Durable Goods a one off
Durables Goods, Excluding Bumper Boeing Orders, Suffer Biggest Drop Of 2014
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/26/2014 08:40 -0400
The headline print of a record-breaking 22.6% gain – smashing the 8.0% expectation – hides the extremely obvious factor of the largest civilian aircraft orders (an entirely one-off non-repeatable factor). Durables ex Transportation collapsed from a 3% gain to a 0.8% drop – the biggest drop in 2014, missing expectations by the most in 8 months. Perhaps even more concerning, non-defense ex-aircraft new orders dropped 0.5% (missing expectations of a 0.2% gain).

Morning Oasis
a little pop this am for which I can find no rhyme or reason. Durable Goods for July came in at 22.6% which is the highest I’ve ever seen and must be some kind of funky mistake and surely would be a great reason to spank pm’s but….nyet
Go figure.
Coffee’s on
Floridagold needs his prescription increased.
If that don’t work, bring out the big guns…

Looks like maybe CMHC will stand for Canada Mansions Have Crashed. Well in Calif. when of if they run out of water even the frog pond RE will suffer but usually what comes next is the floods when the rains do come and the runoff from the drought conditions. Those in flood zones or cliff dwellers always have problems after a drought not to mention quakes and fires in many of the same areas. Here you need all sorts of insurance.

The Chain is under pressure
Regarding RE.. In my immediate vicinity crickets on anything 1 mil + and a lot of product is lanquishing for months with buyers still thinking HAM will come to the rescue so holding on to high list prices. Not gonna happen with the cancellation of the IIP back in Feb of this year.. Sure tell is the 888’s in the price. I laugh every time I see a new listing plastered with 8’s which might have worked in the heyday but that boat has long sailed. . Some pockets under 1 mil which has CMHC backing still have activity. But all in all , I’d say the market is transitioning to a downward bias .Has been a long time coming. Much longer than I ever could have imagined.

Cannot publish PICS ,only choice after I upload is to delete….!the icon “publish”disappears .
Have a important chart about crash to publish!
AuGirl, how are your RE prices holding up?
We got stupid money flooding us again. Next door neighbor flies his float plane in from Fort Mac to check on his house build.
Lake is getting quiet now tho, freeze up is happening so it’s North to Al…
Farmboy @ 22:50
farmboy thanks and a picture on another post to boot lol
I appreciate the remarks and the home grown insights that you fully share .
Yep it is crazy how some come out of the woodwork to heave a rock ..
I am really going to not engage some posters tit for tat.. it is a losing battle with nothing settled……
.but again thanks
for the nod in the ments direction
puptent @ 21:24
yes I rember salscandle .. like the good gold bug guy .. I think we both advised sals not to trust those candle sticks.. but he had invested years of working on that TA model.. like all stock analysis they work until they don’t… and the large banks and trading people know this and can adjust those lines on the charts ..to there advantage // these banks do wash trades in and out .. .. and the little people doing the charts will soon learn a lesson of the charts in my opinion .
the cycle of the march of gold will happen ..
AuGirl, I hope you see Mac in Van…I will be very envious
And I’ll pay up to a Seahawk price..like there was a contest.
Funny what experience is worth…will you be able to remember anyone’s name on that field 20 years from now? And will it matter?
Now I can’t help myself, a goldbug song with Lindsay licks and Stevie backup…
Even Fully’s Kingston Trio connection..http://youtu.be/2-CJji921gM
Thanks for that AuGirl but I gata trump you. I went for the 1979 version but very grainy, so I went for the more polished version. Lindsey is my most under rated axeman. Harrison, Clapton, Knopfler, Keith, Bucky had it going just as well
There’s a Farmfrog lyric in here somewhere…

A little gold dust for you

Buygold,
Yeah, that’s me taking the high road. lol
But say, let’s not be too hasty. I think it would be prudent of me to negotiate some
” Irritating Frog” pay and lord knows what’s his face has been one very large ribbiting irritant 
Wanka,
That only took 4.5 business days to get from one corner of N.A to another corner.
I’d say pretty impressive for snail mail.
FarmFrog
Mercy , for a frog, you surely know how to wail up a storm..Oh cry me a river but
it is well documented the how’s and why’s of the pond predicament you are in.
And is that song supposed to be another quasi peace offering like the frog tape.?
Kind of a slick Willie you are but I told you before, ain’t no flies in my eyes.
