There’s lots of variables with PMs and uses plus people still use it as a safe haven. Armstrong has even mentioned that but arguing not for same reasons. So if it is still a safe haven it’s not just a commodity. Since we are not on the gold standard anymore it can be manipulated but then again EVERYTHING in the market is manipulated. They even put futures on Bitcoin for heavens sake. They’re scandalous lol
@ Ipso – Turkey’s Gold
Yep – now it makes sense for why gold took a 2×2 upside the head today
More school walkouts
Schools indoctrinating children to surrender to the criminals and nwo and don’t even know it. They think getting rid of guns will create a fantasy land that all is cool safe and secure.

Yeah I can’t understand that giant blind spot of Armstrong’s either … I guess it could have been part of his “deal.”
I don’t think gold and silver are gone as money forever. When the paper money fails as it seems always happens then they come right back.
Ipso
On Turkey Armstrong was right economically. Would you let a cab driver perform brain surgery on you and that it’s like what’s going on economically with these politicians. They have no clue what they’re doing. I’ll add what they’ll do for tips like sell us out and take money from those who would do the same like Soros.
Ever since we went off the gold standard it’s just a commodity to them to be manipulated when they need money which seems to be more so than not.
What I disagree with Armstrong is saying it’s not manipulated then says it’s just another commodity .. that’s manipulated.
Turkey Will Repatriate All Gold From The US In Attempt To Ditch The Dollar
After Venezuela, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands prudently repatriated a substantial portion (if not all) of their physical gold held at the NY Fed or other western central banks in recent years, this morning Turkey also announced that it has decided to repatriate all its gold stored in the US Federal Reserve and deliver it to the Istanbul Stock Exchange, according to reports in Turkey’s Yeni Safak. It won’t be the first time Turkey has asked the NY Fed to ship the country’s gold back: in recent years, Turkey repatriated 220 tons of gold from abroad, of which 28.7 tons was brought back from the US last year.

PS I’m finicky about vaccines due to toxic adjuvants but don’t know what vaccines they give dogs there but sometimes that are dangerous I give like parvo vaccine which can also cause those symptoms. Reward greater than risk and others depending if your dog is outside or inside dog.
If you have a lot of mosquitos they need heart worm meds or regular tests. Meds cheaper than treatment.

I think we grew up in a time where we believed giving dogs bones except splintering chicken bones was okay and that bone marrow was nutritional. But as time went on I learned there is much more risk than any benefit. These bones can get stuck anywhere from the upper palate to throat to the intestine and cause obstruction chocking internal bleeding on and on. One woman who never took her dog to the vet starved to death because one bone was lodged in upper part of his her mouth and she he couldn’t swallow. It be sign of obstruction in not being able to hold food down.
Another issue with giving them food we eat is not just not getting enough nutrition as they need protein and don’t need all the fat carbs that go with our diets.
Pancreatic inflmatiom can also occurs because their system is different and they can’t handle spices. These spices in our food can cause “pancreatitis.” Some of these spices can also be toxic to dogs.
Many don’t do well with gluten either.
Ipso had a good idea with the baby food but you can purée your own in a blender but “no spices” just specifically made for your dog.
I would feed baby birds thickened water and watered down baby food meat by a eye dropper till I could get them to a wildlife rescue to take over. Because they had to stay warm that was a 24/7 job with feedings and heating pad.
Cheaper to by good quality grain free dog food and blend it. Hope you can find a better vet.

I’ve got a good feeling about G & S too.
Oh wait, it was just a bad case of gas…
.
Maddog-FYI-i am very impressed with G&S today-especially silver!-what with the $ up [but off its high]-stocks down hard-+ OP-EX-and the 130K SLV calls expiring today, -I just got a hunch…
G&S are amazingly resilient-also I like a sale and the merchandise I bought is 40%-50% off yesterdays price…plus there’s a weekend to worry about and I’m playing with the houses’ money…
Sales of guns surge in US, student activists calling for restrictions on gun sales
parts:
“The expectation of new regulations has sent gun owners worried about potential restrictions to shops to stock up — benefiting gun makers.
The upcoming midterm elections could boost them further, as candidates at federal and state government levels call for restrictions on the sale of AR-15s and other assault-style rifles used in recent massacres.”
“Democrats may take the House and the Senate, that certainly could swing the industry toward higher sales because of fears of potential gun control legislation,”
March’s background checks were the highest for any March since at least 2000

U can see why the dollar was rammed here, as the scum tried to head off the Dollar selling that is coming now the SM is tanking…and of course Au is only now being bid from $1335…not 1350 plus.
Somewhere there are millions and millions of positions in a bottom draw, that no-one dare look at…..just utter madness.
SM looks a little shaky
Silver trying to claw it’s way back – maybe there’s hope for silver after all.

“Word here is that the Russkies ain’t gonna retaliate with force, but with salacious/embarrassing info on the politicians involved, what they call Kompromat !!!!”
LOL I’m looking forward to it! The Pols society seems to have a surfeit of dirty laundry in their closet. I think I can safely say that Hubris will get it’s comeuppance.
RE: Putin … I’m sure glad that there’s at least one adult involved!
Ipsofacto
There was always something about these last two CW events, Salisbury and Skripal…good to se more facts.
Word here is that the Russkies ain’t gonna retaliate with force, but with salacious/embarrassing info on the politicians involved, what they call Kompromat !!!!
Should be some pretty horrible stuff, as most of our pols are truly vile.
P.S.–SLV- normally I wouldn’t touch a stock that has such a huge preponderance of calls to puts
but SLV seems to trade normally in spite of that…
drb2–I like your trade-for a buck a put it’s worth it just for fun–I would buy some G&S now but the $
being up .420 gives me pause…but ya never know–the $ could just be another “hook” to keep gold bulls off the bull mkt express as it leaves the station…gold and the dollar have gone up before along with rising rates and stocks…
*************************************
That G&S are resilient and there are a crowd of drooling bargain hunters buying every pullback tells me that G&S markets are currently bullish configured…resilience is Ducky,,,but doesn’t pay the bookie…we need impulsive upside.
Strike halts gold output at two Randgold mines in Mali — union
A strike has halted gold production at two mines in Mali run by Randgold Resources since Wednesday, two senior union officials told Reuters on Thursday.
The strike at the company’s Loulo and Gounkoto mines was related to the payment of bonuses and would continue until the issue was resolved, said Mamadou N’Daou, the administrative secretary of the industry and mines union SECNAMI.
Randgold, which owns three gold mines in Mali, was not immediately available for comment.
The Loulo and Gountoko mines are located in Mali’s gold-rich south, far from the unrest caused by Islamist insurgents in the north. They produced over 20 tonnes of gold last year.

All is not well in scumland
Bonds are selling off/rates riseing again tdy, despite the SM doing badly….
Maddog, Ipso
Maddog – hard to believe GDX has gone nowhere for months now. Flatlined
Ipso – I am too. Seems to me the Russians were given a big heads up on the missile strike a couple of weeks ago that killed no one over a fake chemical weapons attack. I really do believe that Trump wants good relations with Putin, hoping he can keep a leash on the likes of Bolton and the neocons in Congress and elsewhere.
Hi Richard640 – Re: SLV
Hi Richard – I very rarely touch the Silver ETFs for moral reasons, but your post the other day inspired me to watch the SLV action.
Interesting – Silver is putting up a fight here today. the SLV $16 Puts that expire today are selling for $.01 – $.02 !!
I couldn’t resist and had to buy a couple. I know they will expire worthless, but through this selfless purchase I will guarantee that SLV will stay above $16 🙂
if this means that silver stays above $17 – very strange. Silver may have the power
Buygold @ 9:41
I like it that the US and Russian military leaders are talking. What we don’t need is an accidental war with the Russians. In fact I’ll be happier still when Trump and Putin meet and iron out some of the mess.
Morning Buygold
Yup scum new that there is a lot of SM selling around, which there is, so made sure scum world looked just great.
Aussie/Dlr has been under the cosh for two days now, just brutal ….GDX is now down on the week….it’s all about painting pictures.
