Our Federal government, which has ” Tomahawk” cruise missiles and “Apache,” “Blackhawk,” ‘Kiowa” and “Lakota” helicopters, and used the code name “Geronimo” in the attack that killed Osama bin Laden, officially objects to the name of the Washington Redskins.

making new daily lows now after being significantly higher. Gold still green. I would like o see gold sell off into the triangle then come back out the top.

rno

Yeah I remember but they couldn’t argue that with me cuz I kept my figure while they didn’t and out worked them. It’s just a excuse to justify what they done. Yes very aware of it. It’s also a excuse for now multinationals to profit and forgetting not just where they came from a basement or whatever that their spoiled and  trying to prevent newcomers to do the same by influencing Polititians to squash them one way or another. Instead of accusing them of trying to micromanage or monopolise for profit they go along with them. It’s a conflict of interest.

Good luck!

I am loaded up @ 100% and just won’t sell the mining stocks at these low prices. That leaves me with put and call options to play these Intermediate swings. This swing is still good to go, imho. However, its beginning to show some age spots.

Russia To Increase ‘Combat Capabilities’ In Crimea, Sees Ukraine Conflict Worsening

Tyler Durden’s pictureSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 01/13/2015 11:49 -0500

Following the adoption of its new military doctrine signed by President Vladimir Putin in December which identifies NATO expansion as an external risk, it is perhaps hardly surprising that, as Reuters reports, Russia’s top general, Valery Garesimov stated that the “Defence Ministry will focus its efforts on increasing the combat capabilities of its units and increasing combat strength.. with special attention will be given to the groups in Crimea.” Amid renewed heavy shelling in Donetsk, NATO’s top military commander noted they will be stepping up exercises in the Baltic Sea region as Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin warns, “the situation in eastern Ukraine is deteriorating.”

We’ll see … it’s not like calling the market is a slam dunk, no one really knows what’s going to happen …

I’d rather just stay put for now and I’m sure you still have some PM investments as well.

Comment: I DON’T own any. Just got a news pop-up here. 52 cents, was $5.60 Jan 2012.

Today’s clubbing is tomorrow’s drubbing!

Looks like some of that long gold-short PM shares business going on.

PS Argentina sucks as a place to be a miner!

Big money is often stupid money. This cycle is stretched already, yet could go on for another week or so. Shorts are getting tagged but, once they panick out…look out below! Last cycle high was $1,340…fat chance of bettering that right now. All one can hope for is that when the cycle changes that we make a higher low. Waiting patiently to buy Puts. Despite the inordinate time lapse in breaking thru $1,200 my calls are profitable.( just my two cents.)

It evolved gradually like bacteria that gradually got used to tolerating the anti-biotic drugs. At this point its looking like the Vietnam war. Decades of fighting (with one arm tied behind our backs) and then not winning.

By the way. I just bought a new pair of shoes, look inside and see “made in Vietnam”.

Copy that Goldie, thanks for the comeback. Detroit also had a lot of history. Re your

“The things they’ve done should not be forgotten as how many have suffered due to politics or selling people out for profit or just not thinking of the consequences to others.”

Comment:
Think globally. Many Americans have suffered, and inverse, how many people around the world, third world nations, developing nations etc…

have PROSPERED due to global politics and the selling out and hollowing out of American manufacturing industries for profit and global humanitarian reasons and just not caring of the consequences to the USA.

And think about it. Who ever globally ever cared globally about the USA?? The world always said we were fat and spoiled, and did not deserve the high living standards we had between 1945 and ’75.

They even said we were global pigs that we ate too much meat, and burned 90% of the fossil fuel etc. Anybody remember those days??

Out law encryption will solve it. Their answer for letting terrorists in, is it as an excuse to spy on the citizens. that’s a lame answer. Wonder how did they managed before that, apparently a lot better and with less people.

David Cameron. PM of Britain, wants to block WhatsApp and Snapchat if he wins the next election, as part of his plans for new surveillance. Britain will lead the charge to outlaw encryption altogether when Britain has been walking hand-in-hand with the NSA. They are using this latest event precisely as they used 911 to strip us of all rights. The rumblings I am getting from behind the curtain is they are looking to use this as a new push to gather all taxes they stupidly think will keep them operating. They are BRAIN-DEAD and cannot see that what they are doing is destroying everything. Armstrong

Tks very much for passing the GG write down news ystdy……I see they are clubing it mercilessly tdy.

Cheers.

Octafinance reports a trader made a massive bullish bet on the price of gold during the last trading session on Monday.

The trader – “someone with a big pocket, for sure a professional” says the Chicago-based website that monitors hedge funds trading activity – will make a substantial profits if the gold price rises by at least $130 an ounce.

The call option – a contract to acquire a security at a future time at a set price – on the top physical gold-backed ETF SPDR Gold Shares (NYSEARCA: GLD) requires a more than 10% jump from today’s price of $1,232 an ounce.

It’s a big bet on a market bottom in GLD, the world’s largest gold ETF holding more than 40% of the total: holdings have fallen to levels last seen September 2008 at the time of the collapse of Lehman Brothers.

Octafinance reckons the bold move could net the trader as much as $50 million in net gains.

“The trader purchased 40,000 Mar 2015 GLD or SPDR Gold Trust (ETF) (NYSEARCA:GLD) gold call options. The strike of the call options was $120, which is not very far from the current price of about $117, so the premium paid was huge.

“Still due to the limited time until March 2015, it’s obvious that the option trade was a bold, directional bet expressing the view that Gold might appreciate up to $130-$135. The amount committed to the trade was $10+ million.

“If the price of GLD reaches the range $130-$135 before expiration, this pro trader, probably working at a desk in a big bank or a hedge fund, will make between 300% and 600% of his investment or $20-$50 million net profit

ie.

At current prices Eur/USD and GBP/USD are 7 months dn and outside monthly bollingers, with oil an even worse case, in terms of it’s Bollingers…..these are not small mkts.

but back to reality today……PM’s are the bottom of the Scum ordered pile, worthless garbage in a world where mkts go to where they are pushed/taken.

Just what caused all that, other than the Scum Algo’s going mental at being thwarted.

Notice NEM getting blatted way worse than others, as Scum target individual stox.

Update.

As I guessed nothing but a Scum attack behind this action……

Daily Bell: We’re going to ask you some questions based in part on feedbacks we recently received regarding some of our inflation articles. Please feel free to comment for as long as you want, but please try to keep your answers simple and comprehensible from a layman’s perspective so people can gain as much as possible from your insights. We appreciate your patience, as we know you’ve answered some of these questions before, but with such subject matter, repetition can be a good thing.

Antal Fekete: “Repetitio est mater studiorum,” says the Latin proverb – repetition is the mother of all learning.

Daily Bell: Please define deflation and disinflation from both a monetary and price standpoint.

Antal Fekete: Deflation is clearly not the same as a falling price level. Technological improvements in production cause a gently falling price level under sound money that is no deflation. Defining deflation as a contraction of the stock of money is plainly wrong. We have a vastly expanding money supply, yet a lot of economists (including myself) hold that we are in the midst of deflation. I prefer the definition of deflation as a pathological slowing in the velocity of money.

Daily Bell: We think monetary deflation over a long period of time is difficult to accomplish in a central bank, money-printing economy. Comments?

Antal Fekete: “Accomplish” is not the word. No one wants deflation any more than wanting a pathological condition in one’s own body. “Occur” may be a better word. I disagree with your assumption that central banks’ money printing is antithetical to deflation. I am in a minority of one in suggesting that just the opposite is the case: expansion of the money supply through open market purchases of government bonds by the central bank is the direct cause of deflation. I know this is counter-intuitive, yet true nevertheless. Please consider that bond speculators chime in and preempt the Fed. They buy the bonds first, only to dump them on the Fed at a hefty mark-up later. The current expression is “front-running the Fed.” Speculators are in the driver’s seat, not the Fed. It is amazing that smart speculators like John M. Keynes did not realize that there was a fly in their ointment for deflation, namely, risk free profits. The opportunity to reap them defeats the Quantity Theory of Money. “Propensity to consume” is eclipsed by the “propensity to pocket risk free profits.”

Why is this deflationary? Well, because it slows down the velocity of money. No matter how fast the Fed is printing, its output is siphoned off by profit-hungry bond speculators even faster. So fast indeed that commodity speculators, who may otherwise be tempted to buy goods with the freshly printed money in anticipation of inflation, make a volte-face and march to the bond market where the fun is – unless they stay and short commodities like crude oil, to mention but one recent example.

Daily Bell: Along with Rothbard, as we understand it, asset inflation itself leads to what seems to be deflation and disinflation. Money volume must go up to go down. Truth to this?
