On cue Mc Pain wants his news time to critize Trump on anything now Korea. He might as well invited what he calls the short fat kid to go ahead insinuating that Trump is all talk and Kim might be crazy enough to believe it. Trump is not all talk hes a doer. Mc Cain and others on the other hand better take a good look in the mirror. Where was the complaints of the red line Obama fizzled out on. Maybe they mistake Trump with their buddy Obama. The Green Eyed Monster. We got a lot of them popping up. If China is there which it is let them handle it. Let them take over the place and put another leader in there, free the labor camps which all those people will be greatful and their familys to China bring sid and jobs make a rule of law and disarm them for the better of everyone. I think better than death take Kim’s power away and make him work like he does all those innocent people in labor camps or hand him to them.

To let you know that the second address you posted for Wanka is also a failure…in today’s mail the card I sent the second time was also returned, this one marked “Return to sender – attempted – not known – unable to forward.”
No need to post another one as I will not be sending it again.
Korean Coup ..not so easy
Was reading a book on Mao and wondering why no-one shot him as he was a v nasty piece of work, way before he took over …Then got to a story about how he had his own private train and no other trains were allowed on the line if he was useing it.
He was so paranoid that the train went right into his house, which was already surrounded by two walls and covered by guards from two areas, that hated each other, so didn’t trust each other and they were constantly changed as well.
Maddog–yeah, a coup would do it-I dunno why he wasn’t killed a long time ago…the fact that
an entire nation is controlled by this clownish figure waddling and trundling along seems surreal.
I got the feeling-as u say–that there is no good solution–if war is avoided, that won’t be evident tomorrow or next Monday–this drama should have a run of at least a few weeks, causing high anxiety–that just may allow gold to go to a very modest target of 1400…
From Murph tonight and to my point about cryptos and gold….
Of all the gross distortions which exist in today’s financial markets probably the biggest one of all might be the 208/1 silver/Bitcoin ratio. Lordy is this financial system screwed up. Ephemeral cyber mining is now valued 208 times higher than REAL mining. Color me…… one clueless guy.
Much improved

NK is a huge problem for everyone
Chinese, Russians, South Koreans, Japanese….etc so the US should just ignore him. Let those guys fix him, except SK and Japan can’t do it without the US. The Russians are too heavy handed. Which leaves China to fix it. They have one of the largest standing armies in the world, put it to use China. Show the world how it’s done with grace. No can do

If the US/Trump is serious about N Korea, then war may well erupt, because unless a coup takes place, there is no way they back down.
Had a mate who was out there recently and met serious military types, they said the only way you beat a Korean is by clubbing repeatedly until they fall over, they are as hard as nails.
generally speaking my stocks are asleep
they don’t believe the move, although a $1,300 handle close would be great

I think the global powers (thru spokesman Trump) are creating a global diversion of attention. Plus they have been trying to promote profit and wage inflation for tax receipts.
Maybe traders–seeing Bitcoin over $3000–will–under the current conditions-begin to regard gold–
in it’s role as an alternative currency–with new eyes–cryptos–as every one knows–could all morph into Ponzi schemes-[they are already IMO].In short, maybe the “magic” of the crytos will rub off on PMs.
Maddog=mr copper–Like Gene Autrey, I’m back in the saddle again…
Is the a war bounce or something else?
VIX is starting to move up handily although the SM isn’t down all that much.
Silver popping, gold OK. My silver shares look weak, so I have to wonder if this is a one off move.
Tend to agree with Capt. Hook, if the commercials weren’t around we’d be seeing much bigger moves, and I guess it would be the commercials also selling the shares knowing full well that this move won’t last.
Same as it always was.
@Richey re 13:02 Interesting Stuff.
Fed reserve 1913 start, game one.
1934 start of game two.
1945 start game three.
1971 game number four, higher rates.
http://thebasispoint.com/mortgage-rate-chart-1971-to-present/
1981, start game 5 with 21% prime and 18% peak mortgage rates, rotated downward.
2000, March, dot come bust, new game six. Give loans out like candy.
2008, summer, game ended.
The whole world is changing, in a big major long term transition imo of course. Same ole same ole ain’t working anymore for them. They are faking everything in with these low rates.
Richard640 re No Vol
Just stepped away for an hour and nothing has changed…Au is still up 0.99 %, as the scum say screw u to the conspiracy crew and ‘eff u to the rules of Law and Chance!!!!!!!
Hempcrete
Hempcrete.
In the early ninety’s I wanted to build a concrete house and I looked into the hemp product. Going so far as the wilds of Humboldt County to check out the only source I could find. Quite interesting. Versions have been around since before the Romans. They called it Isochanvre. https://www.google.com/search?site=&source=hp&q=isochanvre&oq=isochan&gs_l=psy-ab.1.0.0l2j0i10i30k1l2.1482.6056.0.11139.7.7.0.0.0.0.275.846.4j2j1.7.0….0…1.1.64.psy-ab..0.7.845…46j0i131k1j0i46k1j0i10k1.Q0YQkoQlaAI
But at that time, I got nowhere with the hempcrete.
However, during the many twists and turns, I ran into the inventors of StableAire in Laguna Beach. To me, they had a revolutionary game changing product – Lightweight, structural concrete.
Long story, I did build with concrete, but didn’t get to use the StableAire (thanks Bldg. Dept.) Over the years I lost touch with the inventors. The posts today inspired me to check into it.
Thought you might find it interesting. http://cellularconcretetechnologies.com/
MADDOG–volume in G&S stocks and etfs is nothing of note…I doubt the filth can make gold go
negative today…but they can limit gains for the rest of the week…this just looks like business as usual–stocks could really explode to the upside if it looks like diplomacy/sanctions–not war–will be tried for a while
In 2000 just prior to the dotcom bust I was working in the brokerage industry. The company hired a chef for each floor to make gourmet lunch for the workers.
Maddog
Exactly….you would think this strength in silver today is positive….but the fact it’s churning right now means the commercials have their collective finger on the sell button….meaning next week’s COTs will look considerably worse.
Silver would be up a couple of dollars today without this ‘administered selling’.
Cheers
Re Hempcrete
I remember someone advocating useing Hemp stems like Glass in Glassfibre and saying that it was way stronger and lighter…but of course it go no-where.
All I can say is good on the US states for decriminalising it, it is a wonder material and only the Drug Co’s are stopping it.
