“Tesla, Without Any Doubt, Is On The Verge Of Bankruptcy…”

As a reality check, Tesla is worth twice as much as Ford* yet Ford made 6 million cars last year at a $7.6 billion profit while Tesla made 100,000 cars at a $2 billion loss.

Further, Ford has $12 billion in cash held for “a rainy day” while Tesla will likely run out of money in the next 3 months.

. . . I have never seen anything so absurd in my career.

So that is FB and TSLA facing ruin…..this mkt is on it’s last legs.

Frank Abagnale Sr.:

“Two little mice fell in a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned. The second mouse, wouldn’t quit. He struggled so hard that eventually he churned that cream into butter and crawled out. Gentlemen, as of this moment, I am that second mouse. ”

Re-stated by Mr. Copper:

The 2008 crash, was the bucket of “cream” that TPTB and Obama mice fell into. They struggled as good as they could, but eventually, too little and not enough lost the election and drowned.

The second mouse, the Trump group, took over and won’t quit. They are struggling harder and faster than ever, with exaggerated actions and exaggerated positive economic predictions, with the HOPE that eventually the hi-speed churning will turn the economic crash, “cream” the bankruptcy of the US Gov’t and humbled US consumer/taxpayers, turn the liquid cream into “thickened cream”…

Into prosperity and crawl out of the increased US poverty and huge trade deficits, turn the $21 trillion National debt, into a surplus restore the humbled American middle class, and create a surplus of tax revenue. Gentlemen, as of this moment, Trump is that second mouse.

And this prosperity will come, but there are problems coming first, and who knows how long it will take going through the withdrawal transition period from bad results of the past, to good results in the future after “change”.  And I don’t mean idiotic gun control.

It sounds like the invisible gov’t, deep state, PTB, or whatever you want to call these pro-global anti-American Bozos behind the scenes is…….If they are promoting and getting ready for war, it means they think the economy might, or is going to collapse.

That’s how they weaseled out of the Great Depression, 1929 to 1934. Confiscated the Gold in ’34, up-valued it from $19 to $34, and spent it all (with leverag) on getting ready for, and engaging in WW II. Add Boulder Dam, Mount Rushmore, the Korean War, the moon landing and the Vietnam war.

A spending binge beyond compare, that led to a loss of half our Gold reserves between ’34 and ’71, and the USA had to renege, or stop giving our gold away to foreigners at $34 when it was selling at $140 by 1971.

I never knew anything about Bolton. I never even ever heard his name mentioned anywhere, until one night I was reading the NRA magazine – The American Rifleman.  There was a very long multi-page interview with him.

I was very impressed with him. He sides with gun owners, is very patriotic, and sounded very practical. Everything he said made sense. But he and Kudlow always were pro  establishment so who really knows what they’re really up to.

On account of that action, I got the shakes with my 250 SLV April 6th $16 calls and dumped them about 1-1/2 hours ago–looking to buy 100 JNUG $14 April 13th calls in the 1.35 to 1.55 range or the April 6th call in the .95 range, as it looks like G&S  are starting to decline…usually I wouldn’t participate with the gold tape looking like it does today…but the dollar is down 3.90–and the gold stocks aren’t giving up much as gold drifts down…so we could get a delayed surge tomorrow…

Israeli ex-defense minister says Trump’s new NSC adviser Bolton was pushing him to strike Iran

The newly appointed US National Security Adviser, John Bolton, tried to persuade Israel to conduct a pre-emptive strike against Iran before it achieved nuclear weapons capability, Israel’s ex-Defense Minister has revealed.

“I got to know John Bolton when he was the US ambassador to the United Nations,” Shaul Mofaz said at a conference of former IDF chiefs. “He tried to convince me that Israel should attack Iran.”

Mofaz, an Iranian-born Israeli who served as the defense minister at the time when Bolton headed the US mission at the UN, in turn advised the ultra-hawkish Republican against attacking Tehran. The former defense chief explained that he did not believe that a military strike on Iran would be a “wise” decision, for either Tel Aviv or Washington DC.

Conclusion=it’s a standoff and G&S are in lockdown for the rest of the day-it looks like if stocks  recover, then G&S recover–we can’t have them going up with falling stocks–then they might be viewed as a safe haven or alternative.

As one of the “stupid” call buyers of 250 SLV $16 April 6th calls @.09 or $2200…I note my account is up $1100 on em.

“Fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.”

I doubled my TZA small cap short today from 200 to 400 shares.

Gold is a no brainer. I’ve been bullish since late Dec 2015 when Gold hit $1,060/oz a REDICULOUS low price for a rare metal.

Late 2016 low was $1130, $1354 today. Bon apatite. Happy mining. 🙂

(Kitco News) – The only investment traders can safely bet on going up is gold, said Eric Sprott, billionaire precious metals investor and founder of Sprott Inc.

“What’s going up? One thing — gold. And silver. That’s what we would expect to happen. It’s impossible to tighten monetary policy with the situation the [Fed] left us in,” Eric Sprott said during Sprott Money’s Weekly Wrap-Up on Friday.

“Everything points to gold. We are within the spitting distance of a new high here. We are very close to setting the record straight that gold’s gone up for two years and we might start launching into much higher and loftier regions as the stock market unfolds,” Sprott said.

And it’s not just about physical gold for Sprott, who noted that there is leverage in gold stocks. “A $100 increase in the price of gold would add 25%-50% to their profits. The stocks are basically at their lowest. The stocks [will] rally very quickly when they go. I’m positive,” he said.

Thanks. I’ll be keeping my eyes open.

Gold a bit perky this morning …

AMT don’t give a damn about service, they just want ur brokerage dlrs.

I used a great Data/Chart service called Prophet, that ended up being bought by AMT…..very quickly unless u signed up for a brokerage account, they shut you out.

To add to my insult they won’t deal with anyone in the UK, so even if I wanted to signup, I couldn’t.

The last crew that operated like that, that I knew of, buying client lists, because no-one will willingly trade with them, was MF Global….so be carefull.

Isn’t life grand? if you are attempting to maintain your sensibilities?

And just think of all the greedy bastards out there right now contemplating ‘loading the boat’ with SLV calls again — which will do nothing but help the price managers keep silver in the shitter forever.

Again — Isn’t life grand?

By the way if this is right then changing browsers won’t help….Anyway Brave is based off Chrome, which is made by Google, who wrote the book on intrusive web spying…..

‘Brave browser or even TOR will not save you. Your FB and Google accounts are verified with your real phone number upon first day of use revealing your true identity. Their servers don’t store cookies locally in your computer, they read your device’s unique fingerprints and remembers it in their database stores in their own servers. These unique fingerprints are generated by reading fine details of your web access device your using such as your screen reso, time zone, color bit depth, plugin variation, driver information, hardware info combing them all into a unique identity with accuracy of over 95% just as everyone has a unique fingerprint and face biometric identity.

Once they remember your device fingerprint and associating it with your verified FB/Google account(stored in their server’s databases), your tracks all over the internet registered with that fingerprint detected by their plugins will identify who you are wherever you go.You can avoid this, unless you bury your device or smash it for good.’

But wait! There’s more….. Hiawatha locomotive #1

Awesome, thanks for sharing.

It’s 1935… the age of Art Deco and streamlining. Almost hard
to believe this is a steam engine leading the Milwaukee Road
“Hiawatha” out of Chicago, heading for Minneapolis.
http://www.railpictures.net/photo/652655/

There exists… somewhere I cannot find right now… a picture that was universally acclaimed by railfans as the ‘Luckiest Ever’ picture of two Hiawathas meeting (Passing on separate tracks) at a country road crossing in central Wisconsin at 90 mph.  The trains just happened to meet at this crossing and the lucky photographer just happened to be at the right place at the right time to capture the nose of both trains framed by the crossbuck signs.

The Milwaukee Road and the Chicago & Northwestern, although taking different routes to Minneapolis, cooperated so that both trains adhered to a 400-minute schedule between Chicago and the Twin Cities.  As a result, the C&NW named their streamliner “The 400′

… could this be a picture of Neanderthal Diplomacy
