if it’s a joke, it’s a great joke.
I have no clue what the machines are doing at any given moment. It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if the machines were controlled by the PPT, which IMHO is just a conglomerate of the big banks and treasury.
I’m not sure how long they can keep it going but if we could print unlimited fiat we could probably keep thing afloat for a decade as well.
Still, I’m really surprised by the SM comeback today. Pretty amazing.
Re SM
the major question is have the machines gone bearish and if so will they turn them off, before zero !!!!
re Why Stocks Are Soaring? I don’t believe that at all. My guess is they started right away. Why would the Plunge Protection Team wait too long to do their job?? Makes no sense at all. And “Somebody bought $64 billion in equities” So that sounds fishy too, because for every buyer of $64 billion there had to be a seller for $64 billion. I think “Tyler Durden” is full of crap to be blunt about it.
Winedoc – at least we didn’t get crushed as the DOW came back. Silver still near the highs. PM shares not real strong but could be worse.
R640 – yeah funny they must put it all to work in the last half hour
Genius
Seems like they have some $64 billion to deploy-with 11 minutes to go, the best they can do is get the DOW green by 114 pts!!
That’s bear mkt action…they got tomorrow to try again…this mkts going down hard when it opens on Wednesday next week
…and. gold to da moon
**********************************************************************
Chart below, look at the late 2015 final bottom, at $1,050. Six months after that, Gold was$1,350, $300 up in SIX months by summer 2016, then Trump and the new rhetoric or “plan” convinced everyone “the economy is going to boom, we’re going to bring the jobs back, we’re going to lower everybody’s taxes, we’re going to increase military spending, interest rates are going higher, and we LOVE guns and love the second amendment. We’ going to build a wall and block immigrants also. Open the coal mines, defang the EPA. We’re not going to take it anymore.” Lately the bad mouthing the Fed, that’s another big reversal.
So right off that bat, the people thought, forget about Gold, don’t need it, everything’s going to be fine. So Gold and Silver started crashing but bottomed with a higher low. Sell your Smith & Wesson and Ruger stocks, gun sales will fall off a cliff without Obama. And both stocks dropped hard. So, about three months ago gold made a THIRD higher low point around $1175, so add $300 to that, ($1475) and that’s what I think is the minimum of what can happen, in six months or less, because this is a continuation of the prior gold breakout that started in late 2015 at $1,050 A REDICULOUSLY low price for an ounce pure Gold.

Never underestimate the power of printed fiat
These aren’t markets they’re manipulations
Its early happy hour today with holiday hours in the office !
Hey Buygold et al …….
Still checking in daily 🙂
I think today is the last session for tax loss selling on Canadian Exchanges. Hope to see Venture Exchange (CDNX) bust a good move in 2019 ……
Meanwhile gold in Canadian dollars is a mere $75 dollars from ATH
“No One” said this would be easy ……..
Winedoc
Looks like the top of the channel is about $1295-$1300. We might correct from there but trend is still up!
rno
and basically talking to myself (and you too Goldie) 🙂
FWIW – Joe Terranova of CNBS Fast Money said he thought money would migrate to gold and it would have a good start to 2019 and a good year.
Not a fan of old Joe but I actually agree with him…
although pm’s and shares moved up and down from mid August until the beginning of December.
They’ve been moving higher for the month of December although nothing spectacular
I wonder if there is still some tax loss selling, but if that’s the case why hasn’t there been a lot of tax loss selling in GLD and especially SLV?
I’m sticking to my prediction (predicament) 🙂 that pm’s go up through January and then pause.
I think you’re right about DOW 17K or even lower. With all the noise of the last three days, the DOW is just flat. That’s not good for the bulls IMHO.
Continued: Nope Dow hasn’t pulled out yet.
I think PMs are gonna move up and down for awhile.
I mentioned they probably will but not so sure if they hold after next month right now. If it continues inverse like they are as of the other day that would be bullish because of the bearish Dow that could go as low as 17k
Haven’t checked after this bounce or a dead cat for now bounce what it’s doing to see if it pulled out or not.
USD down a bit, might have to keep my can closed unless pm’s start to pick up the pace.
One thing seems sure, pm’s are going inverse to the sm.
Not liking the action enough just yet to bring out my can.
Looks like we might be contending with a little more tax loss selling.
Well I got the bandages incase you cut yourself opening it. Hanging in there so far.
The only S&P stock that is up according to CNBS
Go figure
