If anyone is wondering why the world is so screwed up, think about the MAJOR REVERSAL that took place after 5,000 years of men being the dominant power, and in only ONE Generation, TPTB ROTATED, or reversed the global situation to woman being the dominant power. They are generally leftist. My views are ONLY observations. Not meant to praise or hurt anyone, just bring to attention.
Mr. Copper
This is typical action prior to a Fed announcement.
The only thing that hasn’t happened yet is for the metals to get hit but it’s coming.
Shooter dead Steve T Hodgkinson
His FB is still up has a picture of B Sanders on profile. Someone said he asked if they were republicans or Democrats. Whenwe was told republicans he started shooting. Already gun control was hinted but republis there all said if it wasn’t peoplw with guns close by it could of been a slaughter.

Buygold @ 10:45 re limping shares
It may have something to do with fed head Janet Yellin’s rate hike announcement at 2:00 PM. People seem to lay low until afterward.
Here they come
Total raid on the shares.
Like clockwork
Glass batteries are not new
Variants have been around for a long while, They’re referred to as AGM batteries. I’m a car stereo buff and I’ve been using them for 25 years. They are very efficient and can take huge charges and discharges. A specialized division of Caterpillar also had a patented carbon fiber based battery that was conveniently shelves about 5 years ago. Puff, vaporized
Elon’s stock is at $380, 10X the value since I became interested. lol

I read that article about Musk’s car manufacturing operations. Didn’t sound like a lean or efficient operation. Do building electric cars require so many more workers than conventional cars?
I have a lot of respect for Elon Musk. People like that come along rarely. Having said that … his car company is massively overvalued and could take quite a stumble.
Is Tesla too big to fail?
Farmboy
A little surprised you aren’t taking on some JUST right here as well.
Looks like the shares are going to drift lower from here. No response at all from the silver shares to the move higher in silver.
Ipsofacto….oreef
What is v interesting on Glass battery, is Goodenough invented it, the same guy who invented the Lithium Ion one…so all claims have major credibility .
Can Musk change…he will have to, as it answers all his problems…is that what the mkt knows ?????/ Maybe. If he can’t then new reason he is screwed.
Re London Fire
Yes building was refurbed weeks ago and clad is some kind of new insulation as it was a v cold building originally…..of note most London Apartment blocks have no decent or ANY fire escapes…I lived in a 4 floor one for years…no way out other than jumping and that goes for most !!!!!
Morning Farmboy
Probably a good play with the DSLV at the open, as I expect the usual drift into the Fed announcement. I’d be cautious after that though and might sell into the drift beforehand. I could see a hike with dovish language smashing the USD, but what the he’ll do I know?
Not sure I agree that the shooting is why pm’s bounced. Think it had more to do with weak retail sales and inflation numbers. USD has been weak ever since.
As always We’ll see.

“glass battery”
Sounds like interesting technology. Now if we just keep hearing about it and it’s not buried and hidden from view as other new techs seem to have been.

LOL! First things first! 🙂
Ipso, Who Has Time For Stops?
I have to find some marinate for that watermelon. Leave it to Aquila to come up with that recipe ! lol

Looking forward to the day when the cupboard is bare. Pretty good price action in the PM shares lately. Hope it portends a nice run coming …
Just to be clear..My wife says I got too much time on my hands ..
I took he down to vote yesturday (she dont drive anymore) Her guy lost ..she keeps voting for losers ..I pointed that out to her ! She said “shut up ” ..I thought she said “stand up ” and thats when it hit me !

I hope you’ve got some stops Amigo! 🙂

There is an open interest bubble in COMEX silver right now, given it’s off the extremes.
That’s all that matters until somebody big stands for delivery.

“Bubble in comex silver”
Not sure how you are using “bubble?” You are perhaps talking about the number of shorts?
BTW Good to see you posting here! It’s been a long road since the Gold Eagle days.
@Ororeef re How can 90 million be on food stamps with 4 % unemployment !?
That’s a no brainer to me, possibly a no brainer for TPTB but there is a financial news black out on the reason…..
The entire workforce in under paid. Simply be cause TPTB (big business) refused since 1970 neglected to raise the minimum wage lock step with inflation. The lower low, lowers the highs too. Opposite of a rising tide raising all boats. Lower tide lowering all boats.
That was the businessman’s main objective starting in the 1970s. You could even blame their “partner” the United States labor Dept, for CONSTANTLY under reporting 7.5% inflation as 2% inflation.
The Ambassador to NORTH KOREA
Dennis Rodman is probably making the leader an offer he cant refuse …Step down and allow a unified Korea and get a personal guarantee of your security and a US citizenship or ?
Ororeef
Very interesting ideas! You may be onto to something. They may see Bitcoin as a bigger threat than gold. I’ve been struggling with who is behind the Bitcoin and what it’s true purpose is. The rise in Bitcoin popularity may cause TPTB to take some pressure off PM’s. Might also influence the need to raise interest rates. We’ll see.
Mr treefrog
Unfortunately with the size of the bubble in COMEX silver right now, it’s going to take a lot more than just a few Congressman shot to accomplish that. Don’t kid yourself.
Cheers
Good Morning Folks ! Here’s My Trade For Today
Will be buying DSLV at open. Here is my take. Pm’s shot up upon news of the GOP shooting. I guessing by end of day they will beat the PM’s back down. Kinda risky, but I think the ‘shooting’ story will not prop up the metals for very long. And then its back to normal business as far as the PM’s are concerned.
Worth noting is how folks dump the dollar and flee to metals in times of fear and uncertainity. As moggy says, have been for 5,000 years.
And buygold, I AGREE 100%. Willing to bet this shooting incident should be laid directly at the Demoncrats and media’s feet. Prepare for another onslaught on the Second Amendment.
