The whole system is a square peg in a round hole. All values are distorted. Including moral values. All the ETFs are also screwing things up.

They were very rigid and strong. Unibody was next. Like an aircraft fuselage. When the modern cars, get rear ended, the body shrinks and jam up the doors, and can’t be opened. Near by a Toyota Rave 4 was real ended, family of 4, parents and two kids. The wife got out just in time and could not open the other doors and watched her family burn up in that car.
I’ve seen many others that went up in flames, and NOTHING in the news, or from Ralph Nader to bash these modern, gas miser, imported, environmentally friendly cars. They OFTEN end on on their sides or upside down. I saw one on its tail up against a tree, and another time one up on its nose against a tree.
Also often I read the cause was “Loss of control”. My opinion is these stupid looking low profile tires. Two inches of sidewall. Rim to road. Not engineeringly correct. No flexibility. Long ago a Corvette owner tried them and told me they are no good. He said, “On a fast exit ramp, you get no squealing or screeching to WARN you. They break loose or lose traction suddenly and you slide sideways, out of control.
C’mon folks, everyone in this room is smarter than I am.
Tell me why the USD is down with commodities!
What does it portend for the future?
Talking to a Monex dealer today, very interesting. The physical buyers that take delivery, are buying, the speculators are selling like crazy. He said the speculators always buy like crazy on highs, and sell like crazy on lows. Seems they store the speculators bullion for them, or something like that.
The central planners are simply barking up the wrong tree. They obviously don’t know whats wrong, or they DO know what’s wrong, and fixing it goes against their special interests, or are too proud to admit everything they mandated in the past was a mistake.
Like for ONE, objective was getting general wages lower in the USA, allegedly to cool the so called inflation of the 1970s. But truth was big business wanted more profit, and soon after started out sourcing jobs for profit.
1979 news:
Ford Pinto blows up when rear ended.
GMC or Chevy Pick Up blows up on T-Bone hits.
Chevy Corvair, “unsafe at any speed”.
“We don’t want those dirty air polluting factory jobs”
“The US consumer will glean cheaper high quality consumer products.”
“Free Trade will create more jobs for Americans”
Before all that, car companies to compete, and encourage buying imports, they stared building US cars with lesser quality, and used imported recycled steel, to make more profit, and make sure they rust out so you never buy another USA made car.
They NEVER gave an honest CPI, constantly under reported cost of living index, to keep pay raises low, social security minimum wage etc.
And now these BOZOS running things, think low rates, lower taxes, and mass psychology will fix the lack of consumer spending.
what a joke
Have the idiot scum set off a commodity collapse, with their crushing of AG, that may spill over into a general collapse….
Someone was long a boat load of AG recently, hence the record OI, they have probably been kicked out and may well have dumped loads of other commodities, due to margin losses, thus setting off a cascade.
The Chinese I know use commodities as collateral and then leverage/ponzi up on them…..that is possibly what is going wrong. All set off by the scum’s mindless devotion/obsession with weak PM’s and a Strong SM/Dollar.
Remember last year the scum had to stop crushing Oil, when they realised how big a part of the economy it is and they were in danger of setting off a major world wide recession….they ain’t that smart.
so I guess it could be worse, although I doubt many oil shares are down 5-10%
So is weaker oil/weaker USD a result of the petrodollar?
Something is simmering under the surface, we just don’t know what it is yet. The big boys do though.
Arm’s reach? Could I stand the smell? 🙂
So the House passes the Trumpcare bill, which if the Freedom Caucus endorsed is a good victory for Trump, course it will likely be obliterated and changed by something more similar to Obamacare by the most corrupt body in the world – the Senate.
Good for DJT though, he needed a victory.
Of course, the SM rallies…same old.
I’m still waiting for someone here to explain why the USD is falling with commodities…..
And yes, am picking up a few shares of some overly beaten down miners such as MUX. Saving what little reserves I have in the trading account for signs of a reversal tomorrow. Never been good at calling tops or bottoms, but think we are close to a low here and now.
Hanging in and hanging on. Screw the banksters ! 🙂
You will have to scroll down the web page and look for the article title.
Yes,he is selling something. But I think his views on gold are something to keep in mind. If you do not agree with his premise, than Apple or Telsa are our best bet. 🙂
Best to all, and Buygold, its good to see you back ! And BG, trying to dump that Admin title off on me….just be happy I am not standing within arms reach of you.
Yeah, I read that article and there’s definitely some confusing cross currents going on. I still can’t really understand the correlation with the USD as it seems to be falling with the commodities.
Maybe Farmboy and drb2 are onto something and a lot of this pm selling is contrived. Either that or the commodities are all just being dumped in one big basket – seems more likely.
At the end of the day, if the world goes into a deflationary spiral like the article would seem to suggest, the CB’s will have to pull out the stops to reflate. Doesn’t do much to ease the pain of the carnage now, but might help us down the road?
Let’s count our blessings we weren’t born there!
I agree it’s tough to control the internet. The truth is out there … and undermining the NK govvy.
North Korea is a country of idiots. North Korean helpful tip: You don’t need guns to fight. I think it’s a country of wimps. A bunch of men that are soft. I call it the country of short wood. No one has any guts. Surely there are people that are hiding behind vpns that know what’s going on around the world. Fat boy Kim can’t stop people on the internet any longer
“Someone Is Blowing Up”: RBC Warns China-Induced Unwinds Are Escalating
Skip ahead a few chapters and there’s the USA!
I can grokk on that. The average NK citizen just doesn’t realize what a crappy system they’re in. (except for those eating grass to stay alive or slaving in a work camp)
Show them what they’re missing and Kim would be in big trouble!
Le Pen simply needs to ask the public “are you better off now” than your parents were ” your Parents didnt vote for communists and Globalists …maybe they were right ! Do what they did !. Even the former communists in China looked at what the leader in Singapore did and said “We will do what he did” and look what happened !
This is what happens when its more profitable to work for the “GUBBERMENT” than the private sector ..too many chiefs ,not enough Indians .!
A “Gold Digger” ? hehe
The only way to avoid that is from withen….send radios, computers, free tv to them and advertise to all the women about how easy it is to wash clothes with a washing machine made in a capitalistic society. It will become a Guns or Butter situation ! Advertise to the Women !
today, may the fourth be with you
tomorrow, chinga de mayo
saturday’s world naked gardening day,
then, on sunday, the french election.
“He appeals to people’s false hopes and not their realistic fears,” he said. “And he is committed to a better future for the ruling elite and not the French people. He has stood up for liberal misguided values. He put forward a fantasy vision for the important role that France will never play in Europe and around the world unless LePen is elected .”
“The US DOD best case scenario for a conflict in North Korea is for 1,000,000 dead in South Korea and that is if we preemptively strike.” ~ Kyle Bass
I’ll assume that the manipulators have access to the real Google searches. I read somewhere that these revealed Trump was going to win, while all other polls showed him impossibly behind.
I wonder – could the same be true for La Pen (or something else)
They know something is going to happen soon – and will be positioned to profit. having beaten the shares & oz. out of even the true believers.
In any case, they seem very serious about getting every last share/oz…. and doing it quickly.
