Hope you’re doing OK these days.

Thanks for the COT Report, it seemed the action was a little light. The banksters sure made out like bandits adding so many shorts in silver, imagine that!? Really looking forward to next week’s report- especially in gold- want to see thaat the boyz covered a bunch after the Fed beating.

Good to have you back around, we went through some rough times together. Can’t even remember the name of the CEO you knew at one of those miners that went BK. That one really stung. GBG maybe? The slaughter happened fast.

Welcome back.

“As they turned away, the Chinese did come up on the radio and indicated they were returning to their own operations.

US oceanographic research vessels are often followed in the water under the assumption they are spying. In this case, however, the drone was simply measuring ocean conditions, the official said.
The Pentagon has not officially commented on the incident.

Although it’s unclear what the motivation was for the Chinese, the seizing of the drone comes on the heels of other provocative incidents that have happened since President-elect Donald Trump received a congratulatory call with Taiwan’s President, a violation of the US’s agreement with China’s “One China policy”. China publicly voiced their disapproval of that incident and contacted the White House at the time.”

Option One.

They anticipate a recession sparked by a real estate and or stock market correction, and wanted room (ammo) to drop rates later.

Option two.

Just like running out to buy a house before rates go up. They could have raised the dollar so the US retailers of whatever they like to retail, could fill their inventories on the cheap before the tariffs get started.

Option three.

The Federal Reserve, manager and dictator of the so called global commune-ity is going to shove it up, or rater show Trump and the masses that voted him in, who the REAL boss is.

Obamas may be buying ‘Magnum, P.I.’ home in Hawaii

I hope he’s not buying a house here!  I had heard Palm Springs, CA long ago, and latest I heard they were staying in DC until the girls could finish school there (and he was available to continue to cause trouble for Trump).

Frankly, the South Side of Chicago would be appropriate for him, I think!

Isn’t he buying a house there?

My, aren’t you lucky!

He’s trying to decide whether to blame China or Russia… and for what capers… confusion reigns

Obummer will respond with a golf club… here in Hawaii.

LOL!  The bird is in better shape than I am at this point.  I took him to the Ag Inspection station prior to shipping inter island to my friends.  Got him to say “Hello” to the girl inspecting him and he totally charmed her as she wrote “Passed Inspection” on the paperwork.  It was leaving the inspection station that the truck died.  I had to abandon the truck on the street and call a taxi to make it to air cargo with the bird on time.  He made the flight OK and is safe in some loving hands on the Big Island and charming them now.  (Their dog is jealous.)

Then I proceeded to run up over $100 in taxi bills to rescue the truck, get it to a repair shop, get parts, and get home.  I was lucky it wasn’t yet ‘Obama Day’ here, or the taxis would have been $500 in the traffic snarls.

That’s just great. I wonder how Obummer will respond?

Hard to understand how this could happen. Were the American sailors on a break while the drone was being stolen? Looks like negligence on the part of the captain.

Of course it’s a spy ship …. but so …

Sounds like you are having a run of bad luck today. The ole truck giving you problems and Obama snarling things up on the Island. Sending you a case of Red Bull. Pour a can into the trucks gas tank and watch her roar. Throw a can over to Buygold so he can get that DOW train pushed off the track and make way for the Silver Bullet. It makes a great additive to the coffee maker. And if you think only Hummingbirds can hover or fly backwards, add a can to the bird bath water and watch the fun.

Take care, and I hope you get things straightened out soon. Best, Farmboy

Gold is at risk of doing something it hasn’t since the early 1990s

The Great Richard Russell had a rule that said big round numbers in the Dow were huge resistance areas.

It took the Dow 20 years to break 100 and the same to take out 1000…..10,000 only took 12 years, if we have said goodbye to it……20 K….is no small number !!!!!

Some days ya just gotta get out and PUSH!

Thanks.  Yes, at least I have the Oasis with some friends.  The headlines of desperation from the political machine are truly frightening, and I dislike being this close to the lame duck on his last taxpayer funded hurrah in Hawaii.  He’s milking everything to the max, and the traffic disruptions here are horrendous.  When he moves, it’s like the entire island has to go on lockdown.
