The formatting of the polls doesn’t support a poll like that, which is actually a poll for every poster.

I don’t invest in the larger cap stocks. Stocks like EXK, MUX, FSM, KLDX, SAND, are about as big as I go.

Sprayed on to act like stucco? Maybe this is what we should be investing in?

Which miner would you put $$$$$$ into?

Royalty play?

I don’t care about smallcaps and micros

to apply it, not bricks like they are showing here. I think it has to do with construction timing and costs

Scant oversight, corporate secrecy preceded U.S. weed killer crisis

NEW YORK (Reuters) – As the U.S. growing season entered its peak this summer, farmers began posting startling pictures on social media: fields of beans, peach orchards and vegetable gardens withering away.

The photographs served as early warnings of a crisis that has damaged millions of acres of farmland. New versions of the herbicide dicamba developed by Monsanto and BASF, according to farmers, have drifted across fields to crops unable to withstand it, a charge authorities are investigating.

As the crisis intensifies, new details provided to Reuters by independent researchers and regulators, and previously unreported testimony by a company employee, demonstrate the unusual way Monsanto introduced its product. The approach, in which Monsanto prevented key independent testing of its product, went unchallenged by the Environmental Protection Agency and nearly every state regulator.

Sounds to me like hempcrete has a lot of advantages over concrete. The elasticity of it is great for earthquake zones. Maybe they’ll start making siding out of it. “Hempboard”

I know the builders, I met them at a Hemp Expo a few years back. Lots of alternative earthship type homes down in Crestone, CO and other places too. It has a bright future and people are growing hemp on pretty large scales here in CO. It’s all about how to process and mill the final product and lots of people are hustling and jockeying for positions here

Hempcrete Could Change the Way We Build Everything

Why Is the Gov’t Still Anti-Hemp?

I was just looking at the Mint stats, 37M Silver Eagles minted already this year. I think we’re going to break another record this year at the rate it’s going. August is purple. I just quickly modeled this year for grins. No year can compare. Use the Mint as a proxy of what might be happening in the world

If anyone has other options for the poll then lets hear em.

Re: The Gold and Silver Mining Stocks

I’m still holding a big position in the mining stocks (71%, 45 Votes)

I sold most of my mining stocks (14%, 9 Votes)

I sold all my mining stocks (8%, 5 Votes)

I sold some of my mining stocks (5%, 3 Votes)

I have never owned the mining stocks (2%, 1 Votes)

All the games and fat heads in the sector that keep people from depriving the moneychangers from what they need most in the end is why this nightmare continues.

While I may have a good grasp on TA, first we must be grounded in the larger picture.

Do yourself a favor. Buy bullion and deprive the bastards of their power.

Cheers

a strong opening has transformed into everything trading on lows so far, after 30 mins. and Au never really got past plus 1 %.

scum rule!!!!

I hope u washed yr mouth out with hydrochloric acid after saying

This is why stacking (passive bullion accumulation) will likely prove a wise strategy in the end.

That’s no way for a master of TA to talk !!!!!!

Just as precious metals have been ‘administered lower’ all these years, when it’s time, they will also be ‘administered higher’ as well – perhaps at unexpected intervals.

Traditional metrics will no longer apply and keep many out of the market.

Shares are coiled for explosion……but they may look across and see that the 1 % cap is in place, as per scum orders…so sell shiite out of the PM shares and buy the SM with all hands.

But I see a slight diff in the scum tactics here, or they are being overwhelmed…as each minute or hr passes, the next one does not start with selling, it has buying !!!!!

Ps 20 mins later we are stuck at plus 1 %….hellooooo CFTC…..any other mkts do that ????

Clear TA break out…no reason at all to sell here…lets see.

Hard to see any meaningful rally without the shares participating. JMHO

Looks like scum selling everything @ 1270….like NK doesn’t exist ?????

 

That enormous confidence in Coolidge Prosperity which had lifted the businessman to a new preeminence in American life and had persuaded innumerable men and women to gamble their savings away in Florida real estate had also carried the prices of common stocks far upward since 1924, until they had reached what many hard-headed financiers considered alarming levels.

 

The speculative fever had been intensified by the action of the Federal Reserve System in lowering the rediscount rate from 4 per cent to 3’/2 per cent in August, 1927, and purchasing Government securities in the open market……… Furthermore, American business was beginning to lose headway; the lowering of money rates might stimulate it. But the lowering of money rates also stimulated the stock market. The bull party in Wall Street had been still further encouraged by the remarkable solicitude of President Coolidge and Secretary Mellon, who whenever confidence showed signs of waning came out with opportunely reassuring statements which at once sent prices upward again. In January 1928, the President had actually taken the altogether unprecedented step of publicly stating that he did not consider brokers’ loans too high, thus apparently giving White House sponsorship to the very inflation which was worrying the sober minds of the financial community

 

What on earth was happening? Wasn’t business bad, and credit inflated, and the stock-price level dangerously high? Was the market going crazy? Suppose all these madmen who insisted on buying stocks at advancing prices tried to sell at the same moment! Canny investors, reading of the wild advance in Radio, felt much as did the forecasters of Moody’s Investors Service a few days later: the practical question, they said, was “how long the opportunity to sell at the top will remain.”

 

What was actually happening was that a group of powerful speculators with fortunes made in the automobile business and in the grain markets and in the earlier days of the bull market in stocks-men like W. C. Durant and Arthur Cutten and the Fisher Brothers and John J. Raskobwere buying in unparalleled volume. They thought that business was due to come out of its doldrums. They knew that with Ford production delayed, the General Motors Corporation was likely to have a big year. They knew that the Radio Corporation had been consolidating its position and was now ready to make more money than it had ever made before, and that as scientific discovery followed discovery, the future possibilities of the biggest radio company were exciting. Automobiles and radios-these were the two most characteristic products of the decade of confident mass production, the brightest flowers of Coolidge Prosper- ity: they held a ready-made appeal to the speculative imagination. The big bull operators knew, too, that thousands of speculators had been selling stocks short in the expectation of a collapse in the market, would continue to sell short, and could be forced to repurchase if prices were driven relentlessly up. And finally, they knew their American public. It could not resist the appeal of a surging market. It had an altogether normal desire to get rich quick, and it was ready to believe anything about the golden future of American business. If stocks started upward the public would buy, no matter what the forecasters said, no matter how obscure was the business prospect. They were right. The public bought.

we’ll see if this time is different…the stock indexes are grudgingly giving up a few points but look like they want to explode higher as soon as the all clear siren sounds. On  the other hand, stock market corrections often start as routine pullbacks that cause no alarm bells to ring…let’s see if any of this N. Korea business  has legs.

…….. Still here friends

Would be nice to see a “meaningful” rally in gold and silver,  not just a “puff” ’cause of  Korea
