Hillary and Bill, they make Bonnie and Clyde look like amatures. They’re not just a crook they’re a syndicate.
How about a new poll?
Where will Gold end up at the end of this year. I know we did it already but I think quite a few of us have had a change of heart on the prediction. Lots of lofty estimates on that poll. How low can she go is the question. I think it goes up some soon but not too far till mid Jan 17.

What you say makes sense, but it would be cheaper for taxpayers to put them on welfare imo. Normally a county state or country builds roads etc AFTER prosperity. For example, originally we had dirt roads and three cops in this town.
After excess surplus tax receipts, we build roads and add street lights. The whole country has a $19 trillion national debt. The whole country creating all those jobs in China India etc.
The USA created “a days work for a days pay” in foreign nations, and took all their welfare bums off their streets, and eliminate THEIR food stamp and handouts….and at the same time we rebuilt the OTHER country’s infrastructure instead of ours.
We can’t afford to tax the masses anymore. Its time for foreign nations to rebuild the USA. Not ourselves. And pay for NATO.
Buygold @ 20:32…I agree!!
Almost lost my lunch when I read that one. America is teetering on the edge of the abyss, nowhere near a strong economy IMO. Do people really believe what he says??
Mr.Copper @ 19:41….I agree, more govt jobs!! However,
If it will create “a days work for a days pay” and take all the welfare bums off the street and eliminate the food stamp handouts….and at the same time rebuild the country’s infrastructure instead of giving the money to our enemies and using it to create more wars…..then I’d say it is money well spent. America can never be great again if all a person has to do is sit on their ass and hold out their hand. There should NEVER have been a “free lunch”!
Maya @ 20:42 Yep, From That Xray That Is Defintely A Fracture of My Butt
Good thing it already had a crack in it. Maybe it wont hurt so much by the morning.
Good thing my 9th grade football coach spent a lot of time using that wooden paddle to ‘strengthen ‘ my glutes. Memories of the good ole days when teachers had the right to hand out attitude adjustments as they deemed necessary.
Guess its up to you to make the coffee in the morning and straighten out that little track problem on your own. I’ll probably be a slow walker for the next few days. And yet, I still say, Bull Feathers !!!

It must be Farmboy’s fault. The market is more irrational than he is insane.
And that Two Bit Railroad? That’s an Irish Peat Bog. They lay temporary tracks in the muck, so they can harvest the muck.
Mark Zandi is a joke
“Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, told CNBC. “Mr. Trump is inheriting a very strong economy.”
He has always been a Democratic hack economist like Austin Goolsby. Every jobs report – good or bad- for the last 8 years has been great according Mark Zandi.
Smoke And Mirrors Private Sector Jobs Report Preview B/S
I see TONS of phony private sector jobs all around me. Widening bridges, resurfacing roads, new roof tops on school buildings etc etc etc. They are all paid for with TAXES taken from other people. Or added to debt levels.
They are all welfare type jobs. They also give big tax breaks for people to rehab and or build multi level apartment buildings near rail road stations, assuming people with no cars will rent and go to work by train.
They can be CALLED private sector jobs, but in reality they are gov’t VENDOR jobs which are the exact same as MORE gov’t employment hiring.
Jobs report preview
US private sector created 216,000 jobs in Nov, vs 165,000 jobs expected
Jeff Cox
November saw a big surprise in politics and a major jump in job creation, according to a report Wednesday from ADP and Moody’s Analytics.
Private companies added a net 216,000 positions during the month, smashing the 165,000 estimate from economists surveyed by Reuters and marking the best month since June. The number was nearly double the 119,000 in October, which was revised lower from the originally reported 147,000.
The spike in hiring came amid Donald’s Trump’s shocking upset in the presidential race and against expectations that the U.S. job market was reaching a full employment condition that would cause payroll growth to slow.
Get the market reaction here.
“The labor market feels very good,” Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, told CNBC. “Mr. Trump is inheriting a very strong economy.”

a fairly strong jobs report on Friday is factored in mostly–cause chances of a FED hike in December are 90%…a weakish report may not rocket gold but should keep it from plunging especially ahead of the weekend I-talian vote.
Florida G. , gold heist
I stopped by the liquor store to grab some coffee on the way home. Some woman was outside came walking up while I was going to buy it and started arguing to the owner that wasn’t her in the picture after she already did over stealing something. During which a line of people came behind me. She finally left all was quiet.
I said did you hear about the gold heist worth about a million and.. Then he and the guys behind me started laughing. One of the guys said yeah, if your gonna steal something make it worth while not a pack of ciggs I said yeah that’s what I was thinking lol I I bet he was watching TV finding out how much it was worth. Lol
Seems kinda fishy though the guys left it open walked away with all that gold in the back.
But then just before thanksgiving some guy did that with his shopping cart and some little old lady with a little dog walked off with it. I’m thinking from stealing cans of tuna with the last SS crisis they’ve upgraded to shopping cart- jacking.
They wanna be tough on crime start with them stealing everybody’s money and then the people do the same.
Floridagold @ 17:12 They sure got a clear shot of his face…..
Blowing the picture up it appears he is wearing a guards uniform, Kaki (sp) shirt with a flack vest and maybe a weapon on his left hip? Also looks like he has insignias on his sleeves…..and that lady in the left of the picture looks to be running with an arm load of shoes and boots(?) and maybe more, so she may be with him?? Just some wild speculations. Maybe she robbed the shoe store while he robbed the Armored vehicle? Anybody know where AUGal was when this happened????? LOLOL!!
SNG @ 17:36
Thank You.
Floridagold @ 17:12
I think the ranks of the unemployed just increased by two. 🙂
Samb…Nice to see your smiling face and good reasoning
I’m still a Trump believer!! Don’t be a stranger my friend. All the best from Silverngold!
Farmboy @ 16:26
Copy that classic Farmboy writing. I know what you mean. Re weird abrupt surprising prices for Oil and other “things” quoted on the COMEX, 6th brach of gov’t.
I also would love to be face to face with you, and a few others I admire in the tent. I’m also sitting on some NUGT, similar to your JUNG. Like they say, buy when nobody wants it, and sell when everybody wants it.
The market values are totally distorted, and currency market volatility it totally off the charts. China syndrome? So this huge economic transition from bad to good that started in 2009…
is going to be very confusing, unpredictable, painful for some, profitable for others and or just confounding and surprising in many ways for many people, including the buffoon powers that be themselves.
I still say, 9/11 threw TPTB totally off stride. A’holes. Making them the tail of the dog, and being wagged by the dog for a change. There is no way in HELL, they wanted to drop rates and hand out lair loans like candy on Halloween after 9/11 to abort a depression that started anyway after their stupid real estate loans went bad.
Mr.Copper @ 14:38 Your POV Is Taken, But I Want You To Know You Are Trying To Sway A Crazy Man.
Listen, you and I go back a long ways on the Trail. You will always be one of those Oasis dwellers that I hope one day we can sit around a table and enjoy a cup of coffee. I like it that we both see a brighter vision for our Country, and I am not sure it matters who is right on how we get there.
But in all fairness, I should tell you that you are trying to make your case of ‘what makes sense’ with a certified crazy man. Here, quickly let me put forth the case against my sanity.
I read where Opec agreed on oil production and a cough immediately rose from deep within me that sounded a lot like Bull Feathers ! I had another similar, but louder this time coughing spell, when oil jumped up 8%.
Then I seen where the Dow was raising up from an already hefty height on the news, and I coughed again.
Then everyone, or at least a lot of traders, where throwing their gold and silver in the streets and declaring it worthless. Coughed until I had tears in my eyes on that one.
So with 3 minutes before 4:00, my insanity took complete control of any reasoning ability I might have had as the 8 second bull ride of the Dow ended up barely green with five stinking to high heaven points for the day. And I cried BULL FEATHERS has my emotional trading finger hit the buy and send for more JUNG.
Now how crazy is that ?? I’m giving Silver 48 hours to tell the markets, Bull Feathers !
My only hope may be in something I read at the Oasis today, something about a new PTSD treatment involving ‘ecstasy’. I have given up on therapists. The last two were not of much help. Rather than curing my disease of Diehard Goldbug (DG) in the end, I won them over to our way of thinking. Last I heard of em was they had sold their successful therapy practice and headed out west muttering something about a gold mine.
On second thought, give the ‘extasy’ to the ones on Wall St, their gonna need it more than I do.
Just wanted you to know. 🙂
Clink of the coffee cup to you as we share in a brighter tomorrow.
Trump Taps Hollywood’s Mnuchin for Treasury and Dines With Romney
Parts:
“Mr. Mnuchin, 53, with deep roots on Wall Street and in Hollywood. He began his career at Goldman Sachs, where he became a partner, before creating his own hedge fund, moving to the West Coast and entering the first rank of movie financiers by bankrolling hits”
“Mr. Mnuchin would play a critical role in carrying out Mr. Trump’s promised economic policy changes, including the enactment of a large package of tax cuts, and the fulfillment of a huge new infrastructure spending program.”
“In Ms. Chao, Mr. Trump is turning to a former secretary of labor under President George W. Bush. Her experience on Capitol Hill will be necessary to take on what will have to be a bipartisan infrastructure effort in Congress.”
Comment:
Hollywood is the 5th branch of gov’t. We all know how Wall Street SUCKS. And a dept. of LABOR buffoon from Bush Jr? That’s another thing Trump FAILED to bash…..The freakin Dept Of Labor that CONSTANTLY under reported the CPI, Cost Of Living index.
I kept waiting during his campaign. When will he expose the phony NUMBERS??? CPI GDP etc etc. I heard two analysts say they researched the GDP number and found it is was ONE big shipment of Soy Beans to China.
Nothing is a coincidence.
Farmboy @ 12:21 re My Skepticism
Farmboy, you know you are one of my favorite writers from way way back. I do think the USA going forward will be better off. I assumed that after the ’08 meltdown. No matter who the next spokesperson is in. Being nothing left to take, and all the artificial life support (no doc liar loans) simply ran out.
I see more than ONE powers that be involved. The new battles these days are survival of the fittest Powers That Be. Money or wealth has been spread too thin globally. The few various wealthy and big elites ultimately get their riches from the masses, who have less to “share” or “give” these days for the upper class to “get”.
Its not been historically imo, the other way around, masses getting wealth FROM the elite. When you said….
“The silent majority in this country finally woke up, walked up, and bitch slapped the Elitists. And we put our outsider Trump into the Oval Office,” that’s where I don’t agree, because the silent pissed off majority was always there. But never had anyone to vote for until Trump entered the game.
Before Trump the Tea Party outsiders got in, and refused to cooperate with the insider republicans and or democrats. So “change” was already unfolding, in a way TPTB did not like.
Austerity. Less money for…..Environmental, less for space and defense, less for Israel and others. Do you remember the Gov’t media complaining about “Obama” throwing Israel
under the bus?
And Trump saying or implying, that a UN peace deal has no business being negotiated 1,200 miles away. That the meetings or peace deals should be negotiated face to face in the middle east? Not decided by outsiders. Israel and the Military establishment were gradually losing power, or money in a natural evolution.
The few existing powers that be don’t like natural market forces, or natural emotional forces. Using Trump and his WORDS would be a good method to attain retain or funnel shiny new voters and votes from the masses of the pissed off silent majority.
Portugeezer @ 13:43 Always A Pleasure To Hear Your Take On Things
One of the best parts of the Oasis as far as I am concerned is hearing from you folks outside our borders. I most often feel you have a better observation seat and look at America with objective eyes.
The Democrats are done for the foreseeable future. They simply don’t have the juice no more. But you are 100% in that the Masters of the Puppet show still have their most valuable tool, the one to instill their agenda and values upon us all, The Media. Trump gave em a good talking to the other day if we are to believe the reports of the ‘off record’ meeting. I doubt any of those in attendance took it to heart or are ready to repent of their misguided ways and shoot straight from now on. If anything, I think they are going to go after Trump and Republicans like never before.
But there is some hope yet. It would seem that many are not as stupid as the media thinks they are. Not all drink the Cool Aid from the water coolers at New York Times or CNN.
So we will see what happens. I am ready to get the first 100 days under Trump’s belt and adjust for effect after that.
Take care Rich, and thanks for your views.
On news Somali refugee turned terrorist.
Back in 2012 they had Somali refugees rioting for subsidized housing in Ohio. Now we have one of them complaining about not getting enough hand outs I guess so goes off on a rampage. This guy as well as others shouldn’t be here anyways.
They need to stop sensationalizing these nuts and criminals. It’s just feeding into it. Now they got ISIS taking credit. Know I shouldn’t bother asking but where’s Obama take on this?
Buygold, Today Sucks, But I Have Good News, It’s NOT Your Fault,
