A little rational thinking in a world of fear.

“It’s been insane,” said Jay Wallace, who owns Adventure Outdoors in Smyrna, Georgia, adding that his ammunition sales are up more than five times the usual numbers. “This is like a Rod Serling ‘Twilight Zone’ episode.”

Sales spiked in a matter of days, industry experts say. Some of the purchases are made by people buying their first firearm. Others are existing gun owners adding to their collection or stocking up on ammunition after seeing grocery stores depleted, schools closed and big events canceled, including the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting.

Also potentially driving the sales are concerns that elected officials may try to restrict access to firearms. A mayor in Illinois recently signed an executive order that would give her the right to ban the sale of guns or ammunition, as did the mayor of New Orleans.

Sorry it scared you but true. This isn’t the Spanish flu that did the EXACT same thing. Even in other countries like Canada, put up signs about shelter, closing things down including schools and places with no more than a few people.
Then you can’t trust people like the ones who knew they were exposed and took a cruise to Hawaii.
Spanish flu killed everyone but mostly the young adults and older teens due to mostly cytokine storm and other ages pneumonia. Highly contagious but look back then. No isolation in hospitals, cramped together and visitors were allowed to come and go being exposed getting sick themselves spreading it to their community and family. This one is predominantly as far older people and those with health risk. Otherwise just a cold. They should focus on those at risk and health care workers at risk with general precautions for everyone else including masks but so far not enough to go around. Hospitals are concerned. Our politicians of past allowed too much to be outsourced.
There are a lot of people “ and their children” are in trouble right now with all these places closing down.
The restaurant business is big business and wide spread for instance. They don’t work full time as is because businesses can’t afford health insurance. Probably one third of their income or more is tips and live paycheck to paycheck. If they’re making less than 2000 a month without tips they would probably only get 800 or so on unemployment where in Calif their rent is more than that.
With that sector alike that’s a lot of people and many with kids.
I know a nurse who’s son is a chef in Vegas. Before this last move they cut a day from them and he has a car payment and it’s not like they can get more work.
Sales in other sectors will be hit.
BUT you can go to the store where in some places there lines before they opened.
Those workers are at risk too not to mention shoppers.
If you look at the news especially lefty they are pathetic! Panic, finger pointing, hysterical, or politicalizing. Can you imaging being broken down or stuck somewhere in a disaster with these people yelling, screaming blaming others, totally useless in this situation. Same thing. They just cause stress and interfere with things and affect people’s immune system and blood pressure. Will there be mandatory vaccinations next??? Even though if it worked why would those taking them be worried about it if they didn’t?

They’ve only got one play book and it’s all they know….Print, buy bonds, SM, Dollar and smash PM’s….that’s it.

See my other posts…there maybe a cheap and simple cure…if so they have to mop up all this money they have printed …by ….errrrrr ……raising rates….i don’t think so.

With the Gold / Silver Ratio now at 130, the only way to characterize what they are doing to silver now is ‘financial repression’.

Silver investors, producers, benefactors of any kind are being expected to ‘suck it up’ and ‘take it up the butt’ so that all the parasites of the world, with bankers and gov’t bureaucrats at the front of the line, can continue to receive their ‘free stuff’.

Thing is, they are going to lose whether the Gold / Silver Ratio goes to 200 or not.

Mother nature will win in the end no matter.

These morons will never figure that out however.

Can’t produce silver at these prices.

Cheers

Kind of a bummer. I thought the paper silver market might have turned the corner.

Note Texas Metals was recommended by our beloved WANKA on 6/5/13, I sure miss him, I guess like we all do.

but the scum have the SM running here, so now they will probably try and stop/crush PM’s….can’t have them reacting like this to no limit printing.

When will the bail out my punting ?????/

SENTIMENT IS CHANGING   Stocks are raising Testosterone levels …Government and FED  Counterfeiting like crazy  ….A Trillion here and  Trillion there before you know it ,it adds up to real money ! Real Money = “Gold, all else is credit JP Morgan)..

Hoping this is the intraday reversal we’ve been looking for.

$100 up day would probably confirm ?

PM shares leading again…for 2nd day, as SM falls…..

I knew by 1975 that Globalization was a bad idea from the start. And the country’s living standards as a whole have been degraded gradually ever since. In reality nothing is free or cheap without an artificial or diabolical reason.

And the country has paid and is paying now again, an enormous price to enjoy allegedly cheaper consumer products, artificially cheap airline tickets, and allegedly cheap cruises to spend money in non American places. Add gold and silver and base metals to artificially cheap due to diabolical manipulators of price.

No pain no gain. So all this near term pain may pay off if each country gradually become more independent and self reliant. Like it was when Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue. 🙂

According to Nenner if the Dow closes below 20k you are looking at 1929.

Exactly what that means I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure it’s not good.

Physical is looking very good here.

Bank stocks look like crap — even if they are Scottish (think Mike Myers).

Chuckle

it isn’t good, but is it a screaming, apocalyptic, end of the world as we know it disaster?   well, no.

13 minutes in. Reminds me of every rally in pm’s over the last 8 years.

PM shares looking OK. Hopefully the metals will follow and move higher.

OK, so in the time it took me to type this they’ve managed to get the DOW back up a 100

reporting that the credit markets are not functioning well. Problems all over the place.

Expects Fed to step in today – again. Funny, Phyzz has no counterparty risk.

Does Any Of This Look Like The Fed Has Anything Under Control?

“Something is very wrong… this is a 2008 redux… counterparty risk concerns are spooking the interbank markets…”
