Looking at some currency charts, it appears some governments are stepping in to defend their currencies. Oil is traded in US$ and the exchange rate is really wreaking havoc on gasoline and diesel prices in some countries. These interventions only work for a few weeks but usually have a political motive. The dollar has run so far it should be about peaked even with interest rates going up.

It seems cattle herds are still in the liquidation phase but recent rains have helped pastures considerably. There isn’t enough time for the grass to grow significantly, but herd liquidations will slow considerably until the farmers are forced to feed high dollar hay.

Pay attention to the worldwide economies. Most wars start because of financial and food stress.

Wheat prices have become extremely volatile while going nowhere.

Covid is a non event in Oklahoma. Masked are only required in government buildings now.

You have to show your shot record before you can go to work.
The sociopaths have free reign.

This really boggles my mind when I see people voting for people that not only make living unaffordable, violent crime running amuck , cause them to lose their jobs or take mandatory jab that don’t work even if recovered, and sickening and killing people while these sociopaths who voted they don’t have to take it , want people to vote for them to keep there’s to cause them more pain. Did they ever find the cause of the mysterious virus?
Just amazing,

Is Justin getting a dime per jab? Talk about lining the pockets of big pharma!

The Biden administration hopes to make getting a COVID-19 booster as routine as going in for the yearly flu shot.

That’s at the heart of its campaign to sell the newly authorized shot to an American public that has widely rejected COVID-19 boosters since they first became available last fall.

Shots of the updated boosters, specifically designed by Pfizer and Moderna to respond to the omicron strain, could begin within days. U.S. health advisers recommended today that most Americans get the modified doses and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is expected to adopt those recommendations. The U.S. government has already begun shipping some of the 170 million shots it purchased and is emphasizing that everyone will have free access to the booster.

White House COVID-19 coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha said this latest round of shots will offer protection during the busy cold and flu season, with the hope of transitioning people to get the vaccine yearly. Typically, at least half of U.S. adults get a flu shot.

“We expect them to provide more durable protection over time,” Jha said in an interview Wednesday with The Associated Press. “The goal very much is to get to a point where people get their COVID shot on a regular basis, the way they do their flu shot.”

Canada’s “leaders” have ordered 384 MILLION Covid  “vaccines”; more than enough for the next 10 jabbs for each man, woman, and child in Canada!

In this episode of the Liberty Dispatch, Matty and Andrew are joined by Dr. Mike Thiessen for a Firing Squad about Canada’s continued vaccine insanity, and the boys look at the WEF working with the CBC to gaslight Canadians, as well as our governments plan to re-up COVID quarantine facilities.

IMHO, there’s no sane reason why oil should be going down ( unless it’s 60 days out from the midterms……).

Here’s one traders take:

Elevated volatility is the story here,” said Rebecca Babin, a senior energy trader at CIBC Private Wealth Management.

“There is no way to have conviction and want to place bets when the market trades in huge ranges with limited liquidity. The risk reward is just not there.”

Perhaps the government just doesn’t care if they lose or make money trading oil (or any other commodity for that matter). I just think they realize that big volatile moves takes some traders out of the picture, and it’s easier for them to take it where they want it to go….

maybe nobody wanted to spook this little rally we’ve got going?

That’s my theory anyway.

Nice to see some green today.

We own the page!!!!

Not sure that’s a good thing though.

down 5%

Why would that be? NYMEX games in the paper arena? OR are they bailing out or crushing some long and making them puke.

Would be a nice little gift to the Demonrats if the can get gas in the $2 range.

Really good day today. No question rates and the USD rule pm’s and we’re getting a nice break with what I think is some pretty strong buying/short covering.

Ipso – Hope SilverChartist is on the mark.

you’re getting your shot to buy the dip you were hoping for.

UVXY just seems to go down a lot faster than it goes up.

Maddog’s two blue chippers RIO & BHP are yielding around 13% and still falling. Think those dividends will hold?

“Cantaloupe for $300”

We’re in the wrong business!

Drove past a roadside stand yesterday with watermelons for $10. Seems a lot more reasonable.

Captain Hook used to say that gold would turn higher six months before the SM bottoms – I think that’s what he said.

So, from the SM bottom in June, it’s been 4 months are we going to have to wait for 2 more months assuming the bottom was made in June? That’s also assuming that the USD and Rates will behave or pm’s completely decouple from all assets. Never seen that before though.

Hope that $1680-$1700 holds.

I just looked at the chart of UVXY, I’m a little surprised it’s near its 52 week low considering that the SM has fallen now 7 days in a row.

Honestly, I think you could make money on those 2-3x funds if you own both the NUGT/DUST. They always go down over time.

UVXY –

SMR – NuScale Power – no matter what they say about nuclear, it will be the go-to energy source. I think NuScale is going to lead with their small modular reactors. Not as overbought as the next one.

CFVI – this is the company, Trumps network at Rumble. RSI is at 80 so I’ll wait a bit until it corrects itself. 50 dma might be a good place to add. $11.29.

I guess it went below 99 for the first time in 20 years? Funny, I don’t remember ever seeing it below 99…

Hence, the ever-rising dollar against every other fiat currency – except the Ruble.

USD up again, but rates down about 4 bips. Maybe they’ll pull the USD down?

And yet…we’re up a little now at least. Despite the weak day yesterday, we didn’t get hit too bad. Maybe we’re trying to bottom out?

Curiously Bitcoin is getting hit again, going back to the recent lows around 18K. Won’t bode well for stocks.

Trining off the air conditioner to cool down till tomorrow doesn’t help sleep when it’s still too hot.

I don’t know if he’s a acquaintance or a friend but can be a bit harder if they are a friend. I have a married couple friends who were first to take the vaccine when it was introduced to those over a certain age first.
Luckily neither of them have yet got Covid but both retired and have been taking precautions. I don’t try to argue with them about it that was their decision. I know it was based on psych ops. First all those people dying in China. No one knew just how contagious it was. It was reasonable to take precautions the best you could until we had a better handle on it.
I was already suspicious. Then the whistle blowers working in the hospitals that were treating the respiratory stages in NY came out.
More psych ops scare tactics. If you go to the hospital, there gonna put you on a ventilator give you the wrong medicine maybe even the wrong pressure of the vent and your going to die.

How do you stop that stage, they blocked that. First Hydroxy then doctors discovered Ivermectin. I knew they were going to do the same thing so I looked how to get it without prescription and tried it first before getting the word out. Now through word of mouth people I don’t even know are still asking me how to get it.
More psych opts. Take their options away so they have to take the jab.
It caused fear and rightly so which can interfere with rational thought.
Rightly so because it was calculated by a few sociopaths who actually worked together.
The part of their brain that feels compassion or guilt doesn’t work. That’s a long story in itself. So they can be all calm and enjoying this while leading them right to their death without any guilt.
If they got caught they would only fear getting caught or likely angry they got caught but no remorse. They probably got a good rush or high out of it. The sense of power over it.
So there’s the sheep and it’s politically bipartisan as my married friends are republicans.
But there’s also the illiterate, the elderly also victims and hard to pass that information on in the mix.
Then there’s also the psychopaths “ the ones that will try to attack or threaten you” because their know it all’s including those media parrots. “ Part of the psych ops was using guilt or duty to mask duty to vaccinate.” in the mix.
So with the last group in particular I’m at the point it doesn’t matter to me at all how many jabs they get. They’re more likely the type that won’t admit they were wrong. Not saying know it all’s are all psychopaths but they don’t attack people just rationalize. Not limited but more likely. The ones following the brain washing might learn something from it,
There’s a saying, most anti vaxers were once pro vaxers.
As far as my two friends I just text them info as the side effects evolve so there aware of them. They are good people, they were only concerned for me as far as not taking the jab as I was for them taking it. I did have to explain to them how Ivermectin helps prevent the respiratory stage. It’s up to them. You can’t to their homework for them. Like they say, you can lead them to water.
I’d bet some of the panic I don’t want to die type would freak out if they learned there finding Covid not only in the GI tract long after they had it with long Covid but the skin of people.

Once a Kool-Aide sipping sheep…. always a sheep.  Fully vaxxed ham friend here also has a home in Yap, Micronesia with a lot of adopted kids he helps out. He is the country’s school technology man and installed shortwave radios at the schools on the far flung islands of Micronesia.  He was trapped here in Hawaii during the pandemic when FSM closed the borders.  The islands were good for almost two years.   Then a large funeral for a priest there attracted boatloads of locals.   Supposedly no foreign entry, but the crowd became the source of their covid outbreak.  The borders have opened and now they are trying to get enough Paxlovid for the population.  Vaxx status unknown, but I suspect quite low.

My friend arrived to his adopted home to find one person sick.  Then the whole house… him included.   He sounded awful on the shortwave radio last night.   I told him this would happen before he left, but… “It’s all right.  I’m vaccinated!”    Not working out real well right now.   I tried to mention Ivermectin to him, but he wouldn’t listen.   Knows it all…. from the propaganda.

You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink.  If people were stupid enough to accept the ‘experiment’ without reading the fine print, they will not backtrack and admit the mistake now.   Line up for another booster shot, sheep!

I am proudly NOT a ‘mudblood’.

We grow lots here.  Melons are an expensive luxury in Japan.  I saw a cantaloupe there offered for $300.   I saw Japanese tourists in our big grocery store come upon two large tubs of watermelons.  They looked at the price and calculated it to something familiar.  Great exclamations later, upon finding them dirt cheap, they were filling two shopping carts with watermelons!  They must have thought they could take them back to Japan with them.  Unfortunately, Japan will not let them in.   I hope they enjoyed some watermelon on the beach for a day or two, though.
