Yeah we have crazy weather but as one of my grandfathers said once it doesn’t matter the dept of the water if it is over your nose it can still drown you. You seem quite competent to take care of yourself but thought I’d mention it.
We’re having a lot of wind and rain but once electricity went underground lessens the power outs.

The shares I have left are staying just not adding any.

I read from Murphy that Powell has a murky derivative past and that Procter & Gamble sued his bank over dodgy derivative deals and all that has been erased from the Net….

Plus he has no economic background…just a dodgy bankster….I feel so much better !!!!!!

If Powell turns anything back up it will be the stock market

They are going in for the kill in the metals, trying to wipe out everyone already in and keep anyone from ever thinking about going in again.

Stagflation Red Flags Fly As Orders/Output Slow, Prices Spike

Following weak EU and Asian (and Canada) PMIs, US also disappointed with Markit Manufacturing dropping to 55.3 in February flashing signs of stagflation (prices rising at 4 yr highs as output growth slows). While ISM showed the same stagflationary signs, the headline soared to its highest since May 2004.

We no longer have real mkts.

The Rig says, Ray Dalio and Paul Tudor Jones are idiots…..I wonder how they feel.

Tks…we are waiting for it to hit…but in comparison to yr weather, it is a baby, so we keep quite about it….

What may well happen is we run out of gas/electricity, as the idiot Mellons have caused us to close down lots of coal fired power stations, which gave us plenty of excess, now we are running close to zero excess and demand is through the roof…..Industry is already being asked to power down, to drop demand etc….

I have lots of coal still…just in case.

Copper futures trading on the Comex market in New York fell for the fourth straight session on Wednesday on fresh doubts about the strength of the economy in top consumer China.

Copper for delivery in May slumped 1.8% to a low of $3.1295 a pound ($6,900 a tonne) in early afternoon trade, down more than 5% so far this year.

Chinese manufacturing data suffered its biggest fall in five years in February with Beijing’s official manufacturing PMI down to 50.3. The slowdown is being blamed on Chinese New Year disruptions, the impact of the government’s clampdown on pollution and a cooling property sector.

While a reading above still 50 indicates expansion, operating conditions for the country’s factories are now the worst in one-and-a-half years. The breakdown shows a widespread deterioration in demand with the subindices for output, new orders and imports all dropping. New export orders contracted for a second month, dropping to 49.

Re Commodities…it’s the amount of money printed all round the world, that says Tangibles will go way up. The ECB is still printing Euro’s 30 Billion/Month, plus whatever China is throwing in.

Money printing has only ever caused inflation, the only reason we don’t see more inflation is the Rig….they seem to think they can fly in the face of all history, tks to the Rig.

So far they have done OK…but more and more are comming to the same conclusion and your talking huge money….

Did you hear about this worst storm ever to hit the U.K.?

We should thank our Lucky Stars we weren’t born there! Headed down hill as far as I can tell.

Next we’ll see even more poor starving Africans on boats to shores everywhere creating havoc like they are in Italy. Hope Italy chooses wisely in their elections because it’s about to get worse and save their own men. Same old same old they want what other people worked for that wasn’t even given to them so they will make their living by just hand to mouth stealing it. Same thing that brought Rome down when they told the soldiers after running out of money to just Sac the city. It wasn’t because of bad water or other theories. The people walked soilders not getting paid quit, their borders fell.
Maybe some communist country will be taking it after the starvation starts to take place and make a new constitution with new leaders then its over for them. Hey if that’s what they want.

Check out the crazy moves in the energy sector. Way up, way down way back up. Look at gasoline. $1.95 and $1.65 and $2.00 in Feb, and what’s with that huge gap $1.75 to $2.00 in one DAY??

That post is sounding like 2000 again. Commodities were at a 20 year low after the highs of 1980. Papa Bush had to put a tariff on steel and lumber. Until their lowered dollar kicked in to raise the prices. Remember? This time its Trump and tariffs.

Funny thing. If commodities go up because of a shortage that’s good. Natural market forces. But if they just make the prices “mathematically” higher, that’s bad because its NOT natural, and producers will over invest and over produce, some people will use less, and bingo, a surplus and falling prices again.

I REALLY think they, TPTB need to give capitalism a CHANCE, and stop playing games, stop thinking they know better than the Invisible Hand of capitalism. They always interfere, and screw things up, distortions.

Also if commodities go higher, leading to consumer products going higher, together with flat wages, could net a slowdown in consumer spending.

Re PTJ

So that makes another heavy hitter about to discover that the scum won’t allow him to make any money being logical, if he goes into PM’s……eg Dalio is watching his Gold possy sink by the day, tks to the scum…which is all that stands between PM’s going way up.

At some point one or more of these guys is gonna, ask the question publicly….and it will make for a huge gain v fast, so the temptation has to be growing.

“Time For Reconciliation Is Over” – South Africa Votes To Confiscate White-Owned Land

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-02-28/time-reconciliation-over-south-africa-votes-confiscate-white-owned-land

Now people are getting RVs but come with costs. If left out in the sun affects the roof, up keeps plus paces to store them of they’re big plus you have to hitch them and drive them with small area turn around on and on. So that’s the way to go. I thought about that interesting to see how it’s done. Only problem I see is generally you keep food in the car or van bears smell it a mile away and now visiting your car tent. lol I’ve heard bears outside at night walk right past the tent sniff around the fireplace away from the tent then head to the car sniffing around and heard one jump up hearing him or her putting his claws on the window then headed off to the lake thank goodness. I was younger then and just caught a bunch of fish for everyone we cooked that night so guessing that’s what they picked up on.
Good thing if they do try to get into the tent you can climb in the car Jeep the keys around it take off.
I remember one family had a camper were in the camper they tore the back door off the camper but they could climb through to the front and drive off minus a door.
Did you ever see that video of that guy fishing was dealing one in and this bear walked up to him stat next to him watching him. When he pulled it in he handed the bear a fish and the bear walked off. I’m thinking they’re getting smart. They wait for you to do the fishing for them.
