Ororeef – let’s hope Lassonde is right and gold explodes. Now that crypto, or most crypto, has shown it is vulnerable, maybe we’ll see the money flow into pm’s.

Mr. Copper – I don’t follow the energy complex as closely as you, but gas here was at $2.71 a gallon today in the next town over. It seems demand is crashing in a lot of things.

Looking at the charts, our biggest moves came at this time last year from Jan. to mid-March. The USD moved sideways, and we started from about where we are now in gold and the shares. Both the shares and metals are bumping up against their 200 dma, while the USD is testing it.

Seems we could start a pretty significant move if they break the 200 day. They should and if so, we could get back to $2100.

Re Silver

Tks for that….I know from the past yr instincts can be v good…cheers.

just as Lassonde  predicted !

Along comes DeSantis & MUSK  …God does have a sense of humor  ..Trump was Gods catalyst ..the disrupt er modern day Patrick Henry  !

Its just a gut feeling or instinct. Combined with the collapse of Crypto Crap that sucked the little guys money away from Silver into a cesspool that TPTB probably created on purpose to sop up excess printed money. They don’t need excess money flowing into Monetary Metals.

That’s cute. Did your grandchild name you that?
Speaking of which grandkids can be a blessing. This might sound crazy but there’s another form of medical because the physical. As far as children they don’t need training to wedge themselves between this world and the next and their protected holy spirit can preform exorcisms only trained adults could do with just the power of love.
For instance everyone said grandma was going to die and the doctors give up hope. Then according to a story by my great grandmother a grandchild walks in said grandma don’t die. Grandma didn’t die. Not that’s how it always is but just saying.
Sometime the wrong kind of spirits got a hold of people sucking the life out of them. There not good spirits. Sometimes you can tell which kinds and things like family from the other side shows up when there ready and sometimes it’s hard but could be other signs like there no reason for them to give up. Sometimes another life form person is sucking the life out of them. Other times it’s spiritual, the wrong spirits.
Right now a friend is going to go to battle with one of these bad spirits who’s got a hold of her husband after his illness has passed and it’s gonna be a battle. A grandchild would help but they don’t have one available.
Kinda like the poltergeist somethings got a hold of them and if you don’t fight back make them wake up or get up and away from them there gonna win.
I think that’s why evil is out to get children. They have a power of all their own against evil but need protection from it.
There’s so many dying now from hopelessness, despair, reaching for drugs to cope and suicide.
Family should stay together best they can and avoid these inclinations and warn the children about them.

Fortunately men tend to have one tract minds so there will be a base of gold bugs staying in course. We’re others like me although would help I guess it’s not their main focus in life.

Part:

“Orders are definitely down. Volumes are way down,” said Joe Monaghan, CEO of Worldwide Logistics Group. “Overall vessel utilization is down even with the large number of blank (canceled) sailings.”

According to Freightos, despite the increase in canceled sailings which has cut vessel capacity, the hemorrhaging of ocean freight prices continues:

Comment: Falling Oil prices? Google reversal of globalization, or deglobalization. Lots of stories. If you guys remember, on 9/11/01 I stated that was the end and beginning of a reversal of the prior decades. It was a no brainer for me.

It was a big Sucker Punch to world trade and Western countries pissing off other countries, and they torpedoed the World Trade Center. That torpedo led to Torpedo #2 with the global financial crisis in 2008.

And if the Bozo Master planners still didn’t get the message, the hint of reversal needs and Trend we got a reversal President Trump. Then as they stumble, punch drunk, the next Torpedo was Covid 19. I knew what was coming in 1969 when Yoko Ono and John Lenin promoted “a world that lives as one” it was a dream, a big mistake.

The Fantasy is always better than the reality. We always get what we try to resist. I’m glad I lived long enough to see I was right. I also predicted China would replace USSR for another fake rivalry to promote justify more defense spending on both sides, probably to replace lost jobs as the economies slow down or fail.

Thanks goldielocks. Very good advice. My wife and I have been blessed with good health. Our family is close with lots of family gatherings and lots of pictures.

I would like to say that  you have been one of my favorite posters. Keep it up. Your wisdom and knowledge is most appreciated.

scum….say so what, we’ll sell every ounce they want and 1000 times more….from our magic pile.

They don’t hide the fact their for sale anymore.
Then he can fire 75 percent of them too.

Elections over, no thanks to the GOP.
Now they’ll band together against Trump so it’s businesses as usual, nothing good gets done and they’ll just talk us to death about issues we care about while they start their special interest back door deals while the UN and unelected green eyed monsters continue to destroy this country from from the sidelines.

Don’t forget to get a family picture today as your also a roll model. A family picture for the great grandkids. A opportunity missed by one of my grandparents after their 70 th anniversary but then time that seem to be infinite began to unravel and as they lived they died together days apart. My grandfather checked himself out of the hospital that would end his life where he would of been okay but not without her. So I’d say take that picture and include your story.
This is not about them now though but a time before you decades past now and imprinted in the survivors memory’s as people like to change the subject. It’s your day now, so congratulations.

De-baba thats close enough, congratulations to and your wife.

but our metals are holding up nicely. Shares a little dry but still holding small gains. I’ll take it.

10 yr. back below 3.5% to 3.46%

I have no idea what any of this means!

but silver still holding strong with the SM.

Hard to know how this is going to end up.

Tailwind hopefully. Don’t have a beat on rates but SM trying to rally back.

Whatever works.

Re Zoltan

like most Bugs, we don’t get the premium in the dumpster, we call home……but if he thinks paper banks have to worry about margin calls on PM shorts…then he ain’t too well versed on scum activities in PM’s…..but he does know the Treasury mkt and under normal circumstances he would be right……but these thieves liars and cheats…..couldn’t care less about rules or norms.

Zoltan the magnificent? It’s premium…

USD down a bit, gold up a few beans, and the standout silver is up 1% or so.

SM down a tad, Bitcoin down a hundred fiffy. Looks like a mild start.

As always, it IS early.

That is a wonderful accomplishment in these times .

I live in a retirement community and had friends who had a BIG party at the clubhouse to celebrate her 90 th birthday and their 70th anniversary , simultaneously . One of my ‘treasures’ is a video capture I made of them speaking of their lives , his WWII Navy experiences , and her coming from Connecticut to Long Beach to marry him while his ship was in port there . She worked for an aircraft company and her colleagues put up the money to send her by train . He was an early radar operator , and while ashore was reassigned to another ship. The ship he left later took a direct Kamikase hit to the radar room where he would have been killed . As it was , he died peacefully just short of their 75th anniversary . It was known in the park that you did not go calling at their door on Sunday afternoons – that was hanky-panky time for them , LOL !

Just got a chance to catch up.

Congrats Ororeef!

Ipso – that’s an interesting piece of data from Tavi Ocasta about the miners buying back shares. Can only think that large investors and board members are encouraging that to protect their investments. No way the companies thought to do it on their own! 🙂

I hope that is a sign of good things to come.

Mr. Copper – yes, so far, a two day blip up in the USD. Interesting it is up with rates coming down pretty hard yesterday. We’ve kind of held our own in the face of a down SM and haven’t gotten big follow-thru from the beating on Monday.

Fed meeting is a week from today.
