That’s an easy 4 Bagger by next Friday
I no longer have the guts or money for the 3Â x’s plays.
I still stand by my call though, gold is going ballistic at some point next week, hopefully silver too. The USD should get smashed and the bond market rally like crazy – unless it’s broken as Maddog suggests.
The virus news is getting worse as we all knew it would. Panic among the public is just starting to set in. They are going to start restricting domestic travel which will wipe out the airlines and hotels.
This shit was all planned. Drink beer, smoke cigars, eat junk food while it’s still available, and you’ll be fine. 🙂

There is something else unemployment needs to address. Those getting their hours reduced. Heard from someone her son was put on 4 days a week but needs 5 to pay his bills. Hope unemployment is able to supplement reduced hours, not just plain laid off.

It was speculated that miso and other sea weed foods helped protect the thyroid of people after the atomic bomb. But not everyone can have iodine either allergic or hyper-thyroid issues and should have a warning on it. Besides fermented tofu seaweed and vegetables it has potassium which may be a reason it helps flush out the sodium.

shocked to see JNUG down 73% on the day…with an RSI of 20…and this was what? a 3rd day of plunging for PMs like in 2013–gold was down about 70 and silver down 1.50…I was Johnny-on-the-Spot

Noticed that in the AH yesterday GLD closed with a bid of $144.70, ask of $145 – after closing the regular session at $143.28
All the large cap shares that traded AH were also up. Even NUGT which closed @ $6.76 was bid $8.01, ask $9.49. Even the worst pig of all JNUG closed @ $4.47 and bid $5.90 by $6.92
So, I guess if our local trader R640 or anyone else out there picked off the bottom in NUGT. They could make some serious bank.

- Miso is typically considered to be a high-sodium food, since one teaspoon of miso often contains 200-300 milligrams of sodium. However, recent research has shown that in spite of its high-sodium content, miso does not appear to affect our cardiovascular system in the way that other high-sodium foods sometimes can. In recent animal studies, for example, identical concentrations of salt (sodium chloride) obtained from miso versus table salt were discovered to have very different impacts on blood pressure. High-salt diets that derived their high salt level from table salt raised blood pressure in these animal studies, but high-salt diets that derived their high salt from miso did not. Recent human studies on miso intake among Japanese adults have also shown that miso-containing diets tend to lower risk of cardiovascular problems, despite the high-salt content of miso. Reasons for this unique relationship between miso and our cardiovascular system are not yet clear. However, some researchers have speculated that the unique soy protein composition of miso (including peptide building-blocks of protein that get formed from soy proteins when the beans are fermented) is one of the key reasons for the cardiovascular support provided by miso. Since miso is seldom eaten alone, other cardio-supportive foods in miso soups and miso stir-fries might also play an important role in these research findings.
- Â
- Some of the health benefits provided by soy foods depend on the ability of bacteria or other micro-organisms to break down two of the soy’s isoflavones – daidzein and genistein—into related compounds (for example, equol). Interestingly, recent research has shown that many different strains of the fungus Aspergillus oryzae—by far the most widely-used fungus in the fermentation of miso—are capable of breaking down both daidzein and genistein. This finding is great news for anyone who already enjoys miso, or is considering adding miso to their diet. If micro-organisms used in miso fermentation don’t break down some of the daidzein and genistein into other compounds like equol, it’s up to the micro-organisms in our digestive tract to do so. While it is fantastic when we have the right balance of micro-organisms in our digestive tract to help us get optimal nourishment and health benefits from our food, those conditions don’t always hold true. So it can be very helpful when a miso-fermenting fungus like Aspergillus oryzae helps breaks down the daidzein and genistein before the miso ever reaches our digestive tract!
- Â
- The list of research-documented antioxidants in miso is growing! In addition to conventional antioxidants like the minerals zinc and manganese, miso is now known to contain phytonutrient antioxidants including phenolic acids like ferulic, coumaric, syringic, vanillic, and kojic acid. Particularly interesting are new additions to the list of miso antioxidants that are related to its fermentation. In several recent studies, the amount of some specific antioxidants in miso appears to increase when fermentation is carried out for a longer period of time. DDPH (2,2,-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) antioxidants appear to be one category of miso antioxidants that increases with prolonged fermentation. These particular free radical scavengers may be more plentiful in miso that has been fermented for many months—or even several years—in comparison to miso that has only been fermented for one to three months. While the jury is still out on the overall antioxidant benefits of miso pastes with varying lengths of fermentation time, the jury is not out on the impressive antioxidant benefits that are provided by this widely enjoyed food.

Nutritional highlights
- Miso is a source of copper, manganese, vitamin K, protein, and zinc.
- The fermentation process means that miso is rich in enzymes. Fermentation enhances the number of beneficial bacteria in the food. These bacteria are known as probiotics and are thought to help a wide range of health issues, especially for digestion, absorption and assimilation of nutrients.Â
- By consuming fermented foods you are adding beneficial bacteria (known as probiotics) and enzymes to your overall intestinal flora, increasing the health of your gut microbiome and digestive system and enhancing the immune system.
- Studies in 1997 and 2013 have shown that beneficial bacteria synthesise vitamins in the gut, primarily vitamin K and vitamin B12, as a by-product of their metabolism.
- There is much research on the benefits of including soy products in the diet. Although miso is made from soy beans, the quantity consumed is quite small and unlikely to have a profound oestrogenic effect.
- Soy products are widely produced from genetically modified (GM) soybeans. To make sure miso is made from organically grown, not genetically modified soy beans, make sure to read the label. The label will also indicate if the miso is gluten free.Â

This result earns shiitake mushrooms the right to be called a health-supportive food. But perhaps more importantly, beta-glucans also provide support for a wide variety of body systems, including our immune system, antioxidant system, and our endocrine system. Because beta-glucans can bind onto certain receptors on our immune cells, they can help support immune system function. These polysaccharides can also function as antioxidants and have been shown to have free radical scavenging activity. In addition, beta-glucan intake has been linked to better regulation of our blood sugar and insulin levels. What we are left with here is a category of nutrient intake—polysaccharides—that we don’t usually associate with such a wide range of potential health benefits. But research on shiitake mushrooms is convincing us to pay more attention to this carb-related group in shiitake and othe mushrooms.

BTW—notice that no discussion is allowed about building up ones resistance and immune system through proper diet, herbs like echinacea, astragulus or elderberry extract—vit C-selenium—zinc—b-complex—colloidal silver—green tea extract-despite 100s of articles from PEER REVIEW journals showing their efficacy
Â
I have all of the foregoing at home—I also have 2 cups of simple soup made from organic shitake mushrooms and water—which I blend after cooking for 5 minutes then allowing to cool down-
Â
I add organic miso [I like sweet white or mellow white miso causa its mild taste]–never boil the miso—add after cooking when u blend—when reheating only bring to a simmer soze not to kill the beneficial bacteria]

What’s New and Beneficial about Shiitake Mushrooms
Â
- New research has shown that a relatively small daily amount of dried shiitake mushroom (5 grams of dried mushroom, which is the equivalent of 1-ounce fresh mushroom or less than one large shiitake mushroom) can provide measurable anti-inflammatory benefits. This finding is great news for anyone who is interested in bringing small amounts of shiitake mushrooms into his or her diet, without necessarily making it any sort of dietary focus. Consumption of these small amounts of shiitake mushroom by 50 study participants lowered blood levels of the inflammatory messaging molecule MIP-1alpha (macrophage inflammatory protein 1alpha) and increased blood levels of anti-inflammatory molecules including interleukins 4, 10, and 1alpha (IL-4, IL-10, and IL-1a). This study outcome is not surprising since shiitake mushrooms have an extensive track record as an anti-inflammatory food. But it is great to see these benefits coming from dietary intake of shiitake mushrooms in a whole food form, and more importantly, in a very “do-able” intake amount. Just how easy would it be to consume this amount of shiitake mushrooms? In our World’s Healthiest Foods Meal Plan, we include 3/4 cup of fresh sliced and sautĂ©ed shiitake mushrooms in our Day 3 dinner alone. All by itself, this amount comes close to matching the shiitake mushroom intake that provided participants with these anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Researchers are getting closer and closer to understanding the biotin content of shiitake mushrooms, and this advance in understanding should eventually pay real dividends for our health. At WHFoods, we don’t provide any data values for biotin in shiitake mushrooms (or in crimini mushrooms) due to the scientific difficulties in measuring biotin levels. However, we are confident that shiitake and most other commonly eaten mushrooms provide very valuable amounts of biotin! So we are excited to see new studies about proteins in shiitake mushrooms called lentiavidins. You might recognize the “avidins” part of this name from research on egg whites. Avidins are egg-white proteins that can bind together with biotin. In the case of shiitake, researchers have added the designation “lenti”—from the shiitake genus Lentinula—to come up with the new protein name, “lentiavidins.” Thanks to recent research, we now know that lentiavidins are unique proteins in shiitake mushrooms that can bind together with biotin. What we don’t know is how these lentiavidins affect the retention of biotin in shiitake or the bioavailability of biotin from shiitake. But researchers are getting closer to answers here, and we view this research as providing additional evidence about the role of shiitake mushrooms are likely to play in providing us with important amounts of this B-complex vitamin.
- At WHFoods, shiitake mushrooms are our 4th best source of copper. (Our top three sources for this antioxidant mineral are sesame seeds, cashew nuts, and soybeans.) Researchers now know that a key enzyme found in shiitake mushrooms—called laccase—requires four atoms of copper to function properly. As a result of its laccase enzyme content, shiitake provides us with 650 micrograms of copper (0.65 milligrams) in a serving size of ½ cup cooked. Since our WHFoods recommended daily intake level for copper is 900 micrograms (0.9 milligrams), about 72% of daily copper intake can be obtained from a single serving of shiitake mushrooms.
- We are seeing an increasing level of research interest in one unique alkaloid found in shiitake mushrooms, namely, eritadenine. When compared to commonly eaten mushrooms like crimini and reishi, shiitake mushrooms appears to contain significantly higher amounts of eritadenine. Much of the interest in this phytonutrient has been focused on its ability to inhibit activity of an enzyme called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Because ACE activity results in a constricting of our blood vessels, inhibition of ACE can help prevent unwanted blood vessel constriction. By preventing unwanted constriction, our blood vessels can keep a wider diameter and this wider diameter allows the pressure on our blood to stay within a normal range. In short: what we are looking at here is a unique nutrient in shiitake mushrooms that appears to increase our chances for better blood pressure regulation.
- A variety of different studies on the health benefits of shiitake mushrooms have converged on a special group of carbohydrate-related molecules called glucans. Glucans are polysaccharides (structures comprised of linked sugars) that are found in many different foods. However, shiitake mushrooms are unusual in containing not only a large amount of total glucans but also a large amount of one specific glucan called beta-glucan. Because these glucans cannot be broken down by enzymes in our digestive tract, they pass undigested all the way through to our large intestine where they help support growth of desirable bacteria in our digestive tract. This result earns shiitake mushrooms the right to be called a health-supportive food. But perhaps more importantly, beta-glucans also provide support for a wide variety of body systems, including our immune system, antioxidant system, and our endocrine system. Because beta-glucans can bind onto certain receptors on our immune cells, they can help support immune system function. These polysaccharides can also function as antioxidants and have been shown to have free radical scavenging activity. In addition, beta-glucan intake has been linked to better regulation of our blood sugar and insulin levels. What we are left with here is a category of nutrient intake—polysaccharides—that we don’t usually associate with such a wide range of potential health benefits. But research on shiitake mushrooms is convincing us to pay more attention to this carb-related group in shiitake and othe mushrooms.

each yr the flu virus has varied and unique features
where were the quarantines all these years? The toilet paper bereft shelves?
I don’t know who is promoting this or why but-as Armstrong says–this is “Corona Gate”
While the impact of flu varies, it places a substantial burden on the health of people in the United States each year.Â
Â
CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths annually since 2010.
Imagine if terminal cancer patients or heart attack patients were on the news 24/7 with lurid fotos from hospital wards

“We are at the stage where central banks need to provide exceptional liquidity into the market to make sure that basic markets can function.”
But the real question is whether central banks can even do that: after a catastrophic ECB press conference which led to the biggest European market crash in history, and two days of unprecedented Fed interventions, stocks barely noticed, and it wasn’t until Trump made some vague promises on Friday afternoon that risk finally found a bid. This backdrop means that Fed policy makers when they meet next week have to not only cut rates but take additional action to shore up liquidity in the financial system, said Alex Li, head of U.S. rates strategy at Credit Agricole. That could include a special liquidity program, such as efforts undertaken during the financial crisis, he said, echoing Credit Suisse’s Zoltan Pozsar who now expects the Fed effectively launch every liquidity bailout operation  possible, save for purchasing stocks outrght.
“The Fed just cutting rates again at this stage is really not the right medicine,” Li said.”‘The Treasury market is broken — with it being very illiquid. There’s very wide spreads between on- and off-the-run spreads,” and other signs of dislocation.
Let’s just hope Jerome Powell, who first diagnosed the real problem with the US capital markets back in 2012, knows how to fix them.

Currently there are no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Nova Scotia.
In a
news release earlier today, the Government of Nova Scotia announced that public sector employees who travel outside of Canada, including the United States, will be required to self-isolate upon their return. Government introduced the travel protocols today, March 13, to reduce the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in the province.
Health-care workers, teachers, civil servants and other public sector employees who travel anywhere outside Canada will have to stay at home/self-isolate away from the public for 14 days after returning to the country. These measures also apply to students of Nova Scotia public schools and children in regulated child care centres who have travelled with their families, even if their parents or caregivers are not public sector employees.
The chief medical officer of health is also encouraging individuals, employers and community organizations to limit social gatherings to no more than 150 people to limit spread.

If MUX happens to get as low as $.45, it’s worth buying 20K share for at least a 3 bagger. That’s ridiculously cheap. The 2009 low was around $.70 cents with gold a lot lower and oil higher. Their costs should be falling, other than wages.
So many of these shares are cheap – uber cheap.
We may have a couple of more days of pain before loading the boat, but I do believe the Fed will cut to zero and do QE5, and while the scum will probably hit gold and silver on the announcement, that should be about it.
Crazy shit.

I wonder if these markets will eventually reflect reality.
If someone has some serious nads they’d be buying JNUG, NUGT, USLV, etc. prior to the Fed announcement on Wednesday. C’mon R640, step up to the plate!

Based on the way the funds were dumping PM stocks today you might be right. A bounce at a minimum is certainly in order.
I am using MUX as my sector signal, where I’ve got it going as low as .45 before it bottoms, so Monday could be interesting.
At some point even the stupid hedge funds will need to start buying again.
Hopefully sooner rather than later.
They are bound to wash out of the PM stock selling soon now based on the way they were panicking today.
GDX down 20% at one point but recovered.
Unfortunately that doesn’t mean a damn thing these days.

Going in the right direction but still a long way to go although the real action has been in the last two days.
https://cftc.gov/dea/futures/deacmxlf.htm
The fact that the DOW was up 2K today IMHO is not a great thing because if the world’s central banks and particularly the Fed doesn’t come out with a strong plan come Sunday night/Monday morning, this SM is going to go right back down.
The news is going to get a lot worse this weekend.
What a joke.
