I hope he stays healthy, he’s fun to watch!

Don’t go counting your playoff games … 🙂

Good for Ted……but he should also copy in Janet Yellen and the originator Greenspan.

It all stops at the Fed.

That is HUGE NEWS!!!

Raiders odds to get to the Super Bowl especially if Derek Carr is healthy go up exponentially!

I’ve got to call Farmboy’s bookie! 🙂

This may be the best thing I have ever read from Ted Butler

A Secret and Illegal Agreement

 There has to be a good reason why the CFTC won’t openly address the clear evidence of a COMEX silver manipulation, as well as why JPMorgan and the CME Group would turn away from direct accusations of wrongdoing that would constitute slander and libel if such allegations weren’t true. Something has to be holding the CFTC back from addressing that which should and must be addressed……

Interesting close. Of course they hit the shares as pretty much always. As you know can’t depend on any reversals in pm’s no matter how juicy they look because the scum loves to suck in and spit out potential pm’s investors.

OTOH, gold close was solid so hope is always on the horizon.

NoKo briefing, USD weakness, who the he’ll knows?

faith that we are in able hands when David Emerson has been given a role in Canada’s  softwood negotiations up against  the lumber producers lobby from the U.S.   I do not know Mr. Emerson personally, but my forestry classmate from the 1950’s gave me various assurances that Emerson, formerly head of CANFOR, is a respected, experienced  and knowledgeable person on this subject.  My classmate, who died last year at his retirement home in Summerland, was a former hockey player, as was David Emerson.  They were also both trained as resource economists and both had long experience in the forest industry of western Canada.  Hence my faith that Emerson will bring some sense to this long-standing softwood spat between Canada and the U.S.  The other day on British Columbia TV news I also heard Stockwell Day speaking some common sense with respect to the renewed softwood wrangle.   I hope common sense will prevail in this irritating bilateral spat.

Best wishes from the coastal portion of our resource-rich jurisdiction , if we can just keep  the Avi Lewis/Naomi Klein  crowd  away from the management and control of the resource riches.   Cheers.   Equiz

usual scum games into close tapping prices back all over…….but large Reversal everywhere….Candle stick analysts are going to have warm feelings in their nether regions, all over the Globe.

No doubt the scum will re-group and hit hard overnight…..as this action was very tasty, if you are not a scum moron and short way beyond your means.

is this the dramatic turnaround bo polny was talking about?  well, wow…

Not suggesting nukes weren’t real as I’m quite sure they are. Lawrence Livermore is one of my customers as are several of the other national labs.

What I am suggesting is that there may be military technology now available that is capable of disabling/disarming the ICBM’s that render the nukes useless.

I kind of feel like North Korea is a false flag for more fear, but like Syria may be just a pawn in a chess game that has already been decided, i.e. Trump to Putin-you can have Syria, Trump to Xi – you can have NoKo. Maybe a bigger NWO plan to segment the world into Global Regions….

Like I always say, I know nothing.

Now that Farmboy, he knows a lot… 🙂

Seems he ain’t fooling everyone……but Amiens is in Northern France, a big Le Pen area…just like the South.

Re Thinkorswim currencies…use cash quotes….eur/usd…usd/jpy….gbp/usd etc

They come with the package and are free.

Plus there is Netdania, which is totally free.

Meanwhile summ’ats up…gotta check it out.

The poor sap probably had to hold his nose while signing off on this.

Part:

TODAY I am signing H.R. 11970, the Trade Expansion Act of 1962.

This is the most important international piece of legislation, I think, affecting economics since the passage of the Marshall plan. It marks a decisive point for the future of our economy, for our relations with our friends and allies, and for the prospects of free institutions and free societies everywhere.

This act recognizes, fully and completely, that we cannot protect our economy by stagnating behind tariff walls, but that the best protection possible is a mutual lowering of tariff barriers among friendly nations so that all may benefit from a free flow of goods. Increased economic activity resulting from increased trade will provide more job opportunities for our workers. Our industry, our agriculture, our mining will benefit from increased export opportunities as other nations agree to lower their tariffs.

Comment: I knew by 1975, I’m in manufacturing, that living standards and the USA were getting fleeced. Nobody did a thing about it, until the USA THREW UP in the summer of 2008. Now they are afraid they took too much, and the goose that lays golden eggs for global consumption, was sick and dying, anemic. Trust me, these wealth sharing of US wealth BOZOS, are in panic mode using words and some actions, to revive the place in a New York minute. Good effin luck. 🙂

Trade Expansion Act. Under the Trade Expansion Acts of 1965 (Pub.L. 87–794, 76 Stat. 872, enacted October 11, 1962, 19 U.S.C. § 1801), the United States Congress granted the White House unprecedented authority to negotiate tariff reductions of up to 80%.

Comment: The start of the gang banging of the US economy. They all took turns. Europe, Japan, Taiwan, S Korea, Bangladesh, Shi Lanka, Mexico, China the latest after 1980-89 to climb on and have fun. Americans imo were STUPID to gleefully buy imports.

has stopped all charts on the US dollar since March 13th. ICE now wants $110 a month data fee to see it.  I hear it’s going to be free again in a few months but an eye opener for me

It sure is annoying when two of your positions, SBGL and SAND, decide to invest money in some other miner, (SWC and MRLDF respectively) and your stock goes down, and the under dog goes up, all automatically.

It sounds logical to me. A constant artificial headwind on gold is normal.

The Trump administration is considering an executive order on withdrawing the U.S. from NAFTA, according to two White House officials.

A draft order has been submitted for the final stages of review and could be unveiled late this week or early next week, the officials said. The effort, which still could change in the coming days as more officials weigh in, would indicate the administration’s intent to withdraw from the sweeping pact by triggering the timeline set forth in the deal.

NAFTA, a trade deal signed in 1994 by former President Bill Clinton that removes tariffs and allows for the free flow of goods and services between the three countries in North America. Trump in recent weeks has stepped up his rhetoric vowing to terminate the agreement altogether.

“NAFTA’s been very, very bad for our country,” he said in a speech last week in Kenosha, Wisconsin. “It’s been very, very bad for our companies and for our workers, and we’re going to make some very big changes or we are going to get rid of NAFTA once and for all.”

Comment:

Like Ron Reagan ’81-’89, he threw millions off welfare, calling it welfare to workfare. Trump is doing the same on a global scale, with countries. No more sponging off the USA. When Reagan did welfare to workfare in the USA, they didn’t tell anybody, but the welfare folks all got Gov’t jobs with the EPA DEC Dept of agriculture, etc etc.

They are sinking gold and the yen b/c as soon as the US attacks NK’s fatboy the metal will top $190o again. That way there’s no new high in gold and everything is okay
