Cute song, never heard it before. Wow on Bitcoin. That’s one thing I shouldn’t of listened to MA about but guessimg he didn’t know too much about it. Was thinking of buying a hundred or so shares years ago but would of had to find a person who knew how to buy them and secure them. If it was easier to buy probably would have anyways. Looks like PMs still in bearish channel.

I’m with Farmboy. Good on ya for making an investment in Bitcoin and reaping the fruits!

No doubt it is somewhat of a rejection on fiat currency as are pm’s -just performs better!

GOOD FOR YOU!!!

Your post about rain reminded me of a song my friend Tony wrote not long ago. He is still battling in his fight with cancer. I have known a few tough men, Tony ranks up with the best of em.

They have started pouring the foundation for the Obama library in Kenya.

Have no idea what tomorrow may bring. Zip, nada, none. Seems the banksters are not quite through with us. Although, as Buygold pointed out, the miners mostly came through again today. Counting that one as a plus.

Pretty much keeping the ‘Neutral’ stance for now.

Silver looks soooo overdone !

Perhaps when/if the banksters can administer as much pain to the Gold as they have silver, we can get down to business ?

In the meantime, best to hunker down and protect what we got.

Appreciate your thoughts. I can fully trust your opinion since you are in the mix and on the ground fighting.

Seems to me de-throning the boys in Brussels would be the best thing in Europe. The fear for a lot of folks must be off the charts.

Thanks as always for your insight!

Sanctions loom for Barrick Gold in Argentina after third cyanide spill in 18 months, judge says

SAN JUAN, Argentina — Barrick Gold Corp failed to complete improvements to the Veladero mine in Argentina that could have prevented the third spill of cyanide solution in 18 months, leading to eventual sanctions for the world’s biggest gold miner, a judge told Reuters.

Barrick appears to have missed deadlines on three orders from local authorities, including replacing pipes, before the March 28 spill, said Pablo Oritja, the judge overseeing cases related to Veladero in the nearby town of Jachal, where “Barrick out” graffiti lines the streets.

“If they had changed pipes as ordered, the decoupling (of pipes) would not have occurred,” Oritja told Reuters on Friday, the day after meeting the head of the mining police in western Argentina’s San Juan province, where Veladero and Jachal are located.

Yes I do.

The Italians are practical, as well as emotional. They now realise they have been sold a pup in the EU..No growth since the Euro formed in 2000. The French have a much stronger elite and have a deluded belief that the EU is “their” baby and they run it, while the Germans pay for it. 40 % of the EU farm budget goes to Farmers and the French take a huge cut of that, way beyond what is fair.

So their belief that the EU is their baby is not so crazy…the Italians meanwhile have no such beliefs and saw the EU as a means of cutting back on domestic corruption, instead they have kept domestic corruption and inserted a new one above it and simultaneously killed their economy.

When was the last time anyone eulogized an Italian for fidelity, have they ever ???

They will cut and run happily….The Greeks meanwhile just want to be paid to sit in the sun and drink ouzo….the Italians on the other hand will work, love their luxury and if it means divorce then bring it on.

All things considered with the USD as strong as it was, the metals and especially the shares performed pretty well.

I’ll chalk this up as a win.

Farmboy – Looks like you’re going to stay on the flat side of things – which is good. FLAT BEATS DOWN! 🙂

Maddog – do you really think the Italian elections will matter? I only ask that because it seems to me the money powers are pretty much bullet proof. I mean, they can paper over any Italian debt problems should they choose to do so. Course, they can also bring the Italian people to their knees if they want to as they’ve done with the Greeks.

I guess I’m just trying to figure out what actually matters – if anything… 🙂

Here comes a nice little smackdown in the last 10 minutes. Always comedy, always the same.

Hui up 0.43 %….GDX up 0.12 % GDXJ dn 0.03 %

Why no arbitrage !!!!!!

Thanks for the heads up, sounds like a silver play, I’ll add it to my watch list.

18 hours ago, parts;

Panic over nuclear North Korea, a sudden military about-face in Syria, soaring Asian demand and recession talk is positioning gold for a major bull run, and Fiore Exploration has acquired one of the most attractive exploration packages in Chile—the hottest metals venue in the world.

Fiore has scooped up almost all the best exploration territory surrounding the world-class El Penon gold mine owned by major player Yamana Gold (NYSE:AUY). In a deal that a junior explorer could only manage if backed by heavy hitters, Fiore acquired a massive land package of three separate blocks.

The champagne must be flowing at the tables of the Elites this morning.

U can barely imagine the crowing, utterly nauseating to see and hear.

Still it has only bought time, the one they have to see off is Italy and that cannot be so easily fixed as Grillo’s 5 Star and the Northern League are ahead in the polls, big time.

Neither has the fascist past Le Pen carried and in Grillo, u have a politician who slaughters the elites with gay abandon.

What’s the verdict? Doesn’t look bulish to me.

@Chart Readers,

Does this 10 yr bond interest rate chart look bullish or bearish? To me it looks toppy.

Yeah HL has been off my radar for a while too. Maybe they’re getting things lined up. Profits count these days, maybe more than the Pie in the Sky!

Frogs are good at detecting rain, wonder if there’s money in that lol Macron is not going to save the Euro just destroy France. Mathew 24/24 abound.

long term short Euro long gold. As Euro falls Im sure other currencies will rise not just ours like Sterling but won’t omit gold as safe haven tangables will come to play In the meantime don’t get your fingers burnt and keep a eye on future splits with those crooks.

U.S. Government institutes Phase I price controls. Invoking the powers granted to the president by the Economic Stabilization Act of 1970, President Nixon orders 90-day nationwide freeze on all wages, prices, salaries and rents.

Gold purposely not mentioned anywhere in entire link.

Ipso, those HL earnings looked pretty good. They’ve been off my radar for awhile.

Farmboy – hard to see us winning the battle with the USD as strong as it is today. Probably should be counting our blessings that we aren’t getting hammered even worse.

Simmons was motivated by the 1973 energy crisis to create an investment banking firm catering to oil companies.

Comment:

There was NO ENERGY CRISIS. In was a falling dollar crisis, after the de-coupling of gold backing on the US Dollar in 1971. Plain and simple. Currency values are UNSTABLE, therefore PRICES are unstable. If prices are unstable, supply and demand becomes unstable. THAT’S the problem. Instability. So it natural for TPTB to CONSTANTLY re-direct our attentions in the wrong directions.

I remember $2/bbl to $42/bbl 1970 to 1980.

Oil 1970 $2.00 /bbl

Oil $1980 $42.00 /bbl

A whopping 2,000% increase. After gold backing removed.
