Loading ...It’s similar to thinking about picking a street fight with an ex-MMA cage fighter. Be prepared to get beat on.
Mr.Copper
I agree we shouldn’t make this squabble ours … even though we probably instigated it in the first place.
Not sure we want another Ukraine poll so soon. Maybe we should see what happens there in the near future and then decide.
@ipso facto re Poll, I Voted No, I Don’t Think Russia Will Attack.
There is just so much exaggerated “hot air” out there it’s pathetic. How about a new poll? “Do we really care or not care if Russia attacks Ukraine?” Concerned, or not concerned? LOL. I suspect Europe is concerned, and should not get the USA involved. I think we’ve done more than our share of helping out Europe.

I respect the fact that they’re able to change course. The restrictions have buggered up people’s lives for quite some time.
Seems like the rest of the world shouldn’t be too far behind.
Australia is a very sad case. I hope they vote out the bastards that are running the show there!
Great day for us in the market! Now that’s a candle!
“Fattaturk” LOL!
ipsofacto
Re England mandates etc
Fattaturk is fighting for his political life, so it’s a case of ‘eff u Gates…..I’m in deep shiite and need every vote I can find…but interesting to see that a political pro sees lifting restrictions is the way to go, unlike in say Australia, where they think the opposite gets votes.
and poof it’s gone
England Ends All COVID Passports, Mask Mandates, Work Restrictions

Maddog @ 13:49 re Air Spread Germs? Even so, I’m not comfortable touching door handles at stores etc
To me its like the whole system is relearning, why everything was the way it was, before 1913. And the economic advantages or the advanced prosperity from lending out paper money, and integrating all the countries and financial systems created a cocaine high. For cheap high and low quality products. And the all bad habits that were great from the start, caught up with the addicts, in 2008, and the whole fundamentally flawed oxycodone global system is going thru withdrawal pains.

I have a feeling the Olympics are going to be a real screw up.
Just hoping that we don’t see athletes keel over on account of the jab!
ipso facto Mr Copper
Rev infections packaging
If there were any truth in that then the Super Markets and Courier business would have run out of employees ages ago.
It’s air spread and u have to be near a contact for quite a while…..sounds like Xi is bullying his people to stay low key, so the Olympics don’t get hit…..it’ll serve the bar steward right, if Omicron swamps the Olympics, as no-one will die, but loads will have to isolate/not compete.
That’s a lot of gold
Eskay Mining Receives Long High-Grade Assay Results from TV

Mr.Copper @ 12:02
I’ve heard of those fears of getting infected from mail before but eventually it didn’t seem to be a factor. What’s going on in China is sure going to affect the supply chain.
… and I hope our Canadian friends are stocked up on groceries!
treefrog
Yes and the HUI blew right through 260. Large caps all up on Heavy Volume!
We haven’t seen this kind of move in the shares for years. Are they finally telling us that gold is going higher in a hurry?
ipso facto @ 10:27 re Unvaccinated Truckers Blocked At Canadian Border
Plus China cites coronavirus on incoming packaging:
parts: BEIJING — Chinese state media say parcels mailed from overseas may have spread the omicron variant of the coronavirus in Beijing and elsewhere, despite doubts among overseas health experts that the virus can be transmitted via packaging.
China has repeatedly emphasized what it calls the danger of infections from packaging, despite only trace amounts of the virus being found on such items, and has boosted testing of frozen food and other items shipped from overseas.

COMMENT: John Lenin’s and Yoko Ono’s dream come true, from 1970, of a world that lives as one, has turned into a whole world going down the toilet as one.
Also I read Biden is going to give everybody free N95 masks. I guess they are realizing the regular ones are not so good re continued spreading. Next thing we might find out is the virus is floating in the air like dust, until it lands on a moist area to bloom. This is worse than Chernobyl times 1,000.
HUI over 260…
…let’s go, brandon !!!
eeos
Re GS monkeys.
unfortunately they are probably too busy counting their bonus’….which were monstrous, again !!!!
All those kids on floor after floor of computer terminals at Goldman’s NYC skyscraper must be sick at home with Rona
and not able to control the PM’s today. It would be nice to see $2000+
US 10 Year rate .56% to 1.85% is 230% higher. US Dollar Index 90 to 95 is 6% higher, and Gold is holding over $1800
If we didn’t see those huge anti gold numbers, we could say, Gold today is really around $2200-$2500 adjusted for the headwinds. The Mining Shares charts and account balances look like they both got read ended by TPTB’s latest inflation news. So they are at fault. Ya know? My neck hurts a little. LOL
Buygold @ 10:47
As long as no one posts the Rall* Monk**! 
out for a bit
Ipso, Maddog
This is one of those very rare days where the shares explode higher and you have to be in for it.
We break $1850 and HUI 260 and you might even hear me say the dreaded words…
THIS IS IT!!!!!
Maddog
… but it’s a nice kind of shock.
Ipsofacto
Half a decent day…..stunned shock so far.
We’ll see if Trudeau blinks …
