OASIS FORUM Post by the Golden Rule. GoldTent Oasis is not responsible for content or accuracy of posts. DYODD.

Saw last night that top forcasters say that the Fed Reserve is about to go on rapid Fire with interest rates boosting them in the second half of this year and every quarter of 2018 possibly driving gold down to the 1000 area.

Followed by other news… Go figure.and first maybe be a reaction to the rest. The US central bank is seen raising borrowing costs later this year given the fiscally expansive policies by President Trump and the new Presidents agenda that will help raise wages in 2018 hosting labor costs the bank said in Jan. 25 report. Gold may yet find support in the first half of 2017.

That’s  kinda what I worried about what was down will be up and vise versa. They don’t mention costs including rents and mortgage will be on the sidelines waiting to strip any wage increases and the fed to gold. Looks like they will be battling supposed inflation as well as interest rates putting pressure on home and auto sales after the first half of 2017 that will get worse if it plays out.

BlackRock: Inflation Is Surging, So Buy Some Gold

January 26, 2017 6:44am NYSE:GLD

From BlackRock: Russ Koesterich discusses the signs that inflation is rising faster than many expect, and what that means for your portfolio

Like the proverbial frog that does not notice the rise in water temperature until it’s too late, investors seem to be experiencing a similarly stealthy rise in inflation. Changes in headline inflation measures suggest a gentle firming in prices. However, underneath the surface there is evidence that inflation may continue to rise past the steady 2% nirvana that central banks prefer. Consider the following:

Housing costs are now rising at the fastest pace in nearly a decade.

Housing is a major component of core inflation, i.e. inflation without volatile food and energy prices. The main housing component in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is Owners’ Equivalents Rent (OER). As overall housing costs make up over 40% of core inflation, this is a key metric to watch. Last December OER rose over 3.5% from the previous year, the quickest pace in nearly 10 years (see the accompanying chart).

Rick’s Pick for Friday

$SIH17 – March Silver (Last:16.765)
Posted Thursday, January 26, at 7:41 p.m. EST
The futures appear headed to the the 16.580 target shown. I posted this Hidden Pivot support in the chat room Thursday morning, but it was probably of little help to traders because of the downtrend’s rabid demeanor. I am not suggesting bottom-fishing with the usual penny-ante stop-loss, since the target closely coincides with some important lows from mid-January. Our main concern should be whether sellers take out both of those lows without a visually distinctive correction. Were that to occur, I’d infer a test of support is imminent at 16.260, equal to an important low recorded on January 5. Alternatively, I’d need to see a pop on Friday above 17.075 to persuade me that buyers are serious.

I see that you like to participate in Field Day.

Lol your getting creative. That sounds like a good idea on your preparation and since your talking about soft tissue it will be safe although no oil type barriers for preventing too much moisture which might be the culprit.

Keep up your immune system. As we get older why we might not bounce back too well.

Keep in mind stores, shopping carts, public bathrooms, resturants and fast food.. Who are handling ” your food” despite your own precautions.

In the meantime taking one of my daughter out to red lobster for her Bday. Hope I don’t get her sick as currently not practicing what I preach. If epidemic around I would though. Just stay in. For instance yearaago a cook gave a bunch of people hepatitis before he knew he was sick. .

I’ve been following Goldielocks advice, too.  Clorox wipes on everything I touch,  wash hands, and alcohol sanitizer before I even think about touching food.

I would also like to recommend ASAP Silver Gel (colloidal silver gel) as an alternative to a certain ‘H’ Preparation marketed for the nether regions.  The silver gel is more soothing and allows faster healing than the other ‘H’ stuff.

something will have to give.

same stupid selling in GDX…min of 5 times the bid size on the offer, to make sure no top tick close etc.

scum fully active still…….but what can they do when the Donald wants a weaker dollar….which is a no brainer, if he wants a jobs lead recovery, that even the hedge funds will realise soon…..and start to cover.

Yep. Very clear and just as old as it has been for the last six years.

Indeed. I used to post this list during the election. Afterwards, I added the story you mention. But I’ve read many more stories that I never got around to adding:

(1) In 1986, Trump prevented the foreclosure of Annabell Hill’s family farm after her husband committed suicide on the day of the auction. He personally called to stop the sale and gave Hill $77,000.00 to pay off the mortgage. Trump decided to do this after seeing her pleas for help in the news. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new…

(2) In 1988, a commercial airline refused to fly Andrew Ten, a sick Orthodox Jewish child with a rare illness, cross-country for medical care because he had to travel with an elaborate life-support system. His grief stricken parents contacted Trump for help and he didn’t hesitate to send his own plane to take the child from L.A. to New York so he could get treatment. http://citizenanalyst.net/meet…

(3) In 1990, Ryan White (18), died of AIDS. Trump called his family at home after his death. http://www.nytimes.com/1990/04…

(4) In 1991, 200 Marines who served in Operation Desert Storm spent time at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina before they were scheduled to return home to their families. However, the Marines were told that a mistake had been made and an aircraft would not be able to take them home on their scheduled departure date. When Trump got wind of this, he sent his plane to make two trips from North Carolina to Miami to safely return the Marines to their families. http://www.hannity.com/onair/t…

(5) In 1991 Trump saved a man from a mugging. He told his limo driver to pull over and he confronted the mugger, who was beating the other man with a baseball bat. After that, the mugger recognized Trump and ran away. http://www.thegatewaypundit.co…

(6) In 1995, a motorist stopped to help Trump after the limo he was traveling in got a flat tire. Trump asked the Good Samaritan how he could repay him for his help. All the man asked for was a bouquet of flowers for his wife. A few weeks later Trump sent the flowers with a note that read: “We’ve paid off your mortgage.” http://www.thepoliticalinsider…

(7) In 1996, Trump filed a lawsuit against the city of Palm Beach, Florida accusing the town of discriminating against his Mar-a-Lago resort club because it allowed Jews and blacks. Abraham Foxman, who was the Anti-Defamation League Director at the time, said Trump “put the light on Palm Beach – not on the beauty and the glitter, but on its seamier side of discrimination.” Foxman also noted that Trump’s charge had a trickle-down effect because other clubs followed his lead and began admitting Jews and blacks. http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB…

(8) In 1997, Trump & Mel Farr teamed up to help young Detroit artists appear at Carnegie Hall. http://www.prnewswire.com/news…

(9) In 2000, Maury Povich featured a little girl named Megan who struggled with Brittle Bone Disease on his show and Trump happened to be watching. Trump said the little girl’s story and positive attitude touched his heart. So he contacted Maury and gifted the little girl and her family with a very generous check. (YouTube Video: “Donald Trump Shows Kindness To A Little Girl With Bone Disease #Must Watch #MakeAmericaGreatAgain”).

(10) After 9/11, Trump sent over 200 of his own people to look for survivors in the wreckage. (YouTube Video: “Donald Trump TV Interview at Ground Zero on 9-11-01 (FULL VIDEO)”).

(11) After 9/11, Trump “learned about Clyde Frazier Jr., who ran the Harlem Hoops tournament in the inner city and was killed in the 9/11 attacks” and “searched down the family and donated the money to keep that tournament going.” http://conservativetribune.com…,

(12) In 2007, Trump sued the city of Palm Beach for fining him for having a tall flagpole w/ the American Flag. The case settled. Trump donated the $100,000 settlement proceeds he received to Iraqi War Veterans and his local VA hospital. [Trump also let military members use his Mar-a-Lago resort for free every Monday]. https://news.google.com/newspa…

(13) In 2008, after Jennifer Hudson’s family members were tragically murdered in Chicago, Trump put the Oscar-winning actress and her family up at his Chicago hotel for free. He even hired extra security for her – he said: “She’s a great girl. And we’re protecting them well. They are very safe.”

(14) In 2008, Ed McMahon’s house went into foreclosure. Trump purchased it and allowed Ed to continue living there. http://www.businessinsider.com…

(15) In 2011, Trump & his siblings gifted $1 million to a hospital that treated their parents. https://www.hss.edu/newsroom_h…

(16) In 2013, New York African-American bus driver Darnell Barton spotted a woman close to the edge of a bridge staring at traffic below as he drove by. He stopped the bus, got out and put his arm around the woman and saved her life by convincing her to not jump. When Trump heard about this story, he sent the bus driver a $10,000 check simply because he believed his good deed deserved to be rewarded. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013…

(17) In 2014, Trump gave $25,000 to Sgt. Andrew Tamoressi after he spent 7 months in a Mexican jail for accidentally crossing the US-Mexico border. President Obama couldn’t even be bothered to make one phone call to assist with the Marine’s release; however, Trump opened his pocketbook to help this serviceman get back on his feet. http://www.thepoliticalinsider…

(18) In 2016, Melissa Consin Young attended a Trump rally and tearfully thanked Trump for changing her life. She said she proudly stood on stage with Trump as Miss Wisconsin USA in 2005. However, years later she found herself struggling with an incurable illness and during her darkest days she explained that she received a handwritten letter from Trump telling her she’s the “bravest woman, I know.” She said the opportunities that she got from Trump and his organizations ultimately provided her Mexican-American son with a full-ride to college. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new…

(19) Lynne Patton, a black female executive for the Trump Organization, released a statement in 2016 defending Trump against accusations that he’s a racist/bigot. She tearfully revealed how she struggled with substance abuse/addiction for years. She said Trump and his entire family loyally stood by her through “immensely difficult times” and helped her keep her job. http://www.breitbart.com/2016-…

(20) Trump has allowed a homeless black woman to live in Trump Tower for free for 8+ years. http://www.naturalnews.com/201…

Additionally:

– Trump helped Maytag keep some of its stores in the U.S. by buying items from them that could be used in his hotels. http://conservativetribune.com…

– Trump saved an ice skating rink in Central Park by taking over the project, and finishing the rink by Christmas time for free. He was two months ahead of schedule, and $750,000 under budget. He also operated the rink for a year, and donated all profits to charity. https://regated.com/2016/05/gr…

– Barbara Res, at 33 years old, became the first women to ever be put in charge of supervising the construction of a skyscraper, when Trump hired her in 1980. http://www.nydailynews.com/opi…

– Trump donated $100,000 to a large Christian ministry after Jerry Falwell Jr. told Trump the ministry needed help. http://citizenanalyst.net/meet…

– Trump has donated his money to several health organizations including the American Cancer Society, American Diabetes Association, Alliance for Lupus Research, Autism Speaks, Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America, and many more. http://www.insidephilanthropy…

Freeport stock dives on threatening Indonesian mine cuts, lower guidance

VANCOUVER (miningweekly.com) – The NYSE-listed stock of US diversified miner Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) on Wednesday nosedived after the company threatened to reduce output and cut staff at its Grasberg mine, in Indonesia.

The Phoenix, Arizona-based miner said that if it had not obtained approval to export concentrate by mid-February, it would be forced to implement measures that would see production at the massive Grasberg operation throttled to about 40% of capacity, reduce its workforce, lower costs and suspend future investments on its underground development projects and new smelter.

Don’t know if that’s good or bad but they’re approaching half on normal volume in the first half hour of trading.

“Notification on Market Risk Control”  

Ha-ha,  they got that part figured out

Actually standing firm with Trump. Going to build that wall.

Going to follow his lead. Never seen these guys act so tough with the media and their idiotic questions.

Trump should start his own “growing a spine” company, this is the first time I’ve ever seen Ryan and McConnell showing some back bone.

at least we can blame the USD?

Funny how that works though, no traction with the USD down yesterday, but you can bet today gold will get hammered because the USD is up.

I guess we’ll see if the HUI can manage to hold 200

This crap is older than dirt

but I think it’s from looking at the Gold Chart. Best to you my friend !

Any problems with the stomach… just come over…

NEMO

But I think Maya is right, probably will not be allowed in the U.S. without a lot of expensive modifications, ie:and air pollution, safety devices, etc. However, for a farm work vehicle ( no tag, no driving on the highways) this would be a really useful truck.

and no offense intended, but you still sound a little germy to me this morning, so I’m going to sterilize my cup of coffee.  🙂

Good to se you are feeling better and have ‘things’ under control.
