Ps You really made a smart move retiring there. Being on the mainland making money isn’t everything in life and look what they did to it. They have a lot of people there who don’t make a lot of money but they have a better quality of life and community than many cities.

I’m glad you took care of that problem. I can’t remember the name of those tall trees that has a fragrance the filled the air but I wanted to bring them back with me. Last time I was a long time ago there it was 2000. I never got to Maui and Peahi..Jaws.
There people kept the gov out and hope they hold to that now. Apparently Biden’s giving them loans to rebuild. Hum Someone put a video out I saw today. If it’s the same Oprah they kept her out of buying up land too. You see what they did to Honolulu. I’m glad where you live it’s too much trouble for them I hope lol Keep up that victory garden, you’ll have your own Oasis.

Goldi – My Trees
The invasive species Albizia trees can grow huge, and are brittle and break in windstorms. My property had several and the wild lot next door also. Hurricane Iselle in 2014 dropped several in my lot and pierced a months-old new roof on the house. No insurance. The owners sold out cheap to a ‘flipper’ who fixed up the house and removed the trees. Then lava flows were threatening the nearby village and road access. Nobody was buying, many selling and trying to leave. When the lava flow stopped, I jumped in and got a real bargain on my freshly renovated house. It’s worth three times that now, but I’m not selling. This is my retirement home. 1/3 acre and stuff grows like crazy here. Self-sufficient ‘Victory’ gardening!
I had a tree guy go into the unmaintained jungle lot next door and remove the dangerous trees. (Hawaii law allows that if remote owners are unresponsive.) We poisoned several medium size trees and now only have to worry about the brittle branches breaking. So I have minimized the threat to my home. Our jungle subdivision is less than half built out, so there are many wild lots full of large trees yet that are a real pain for whomever buys a cheap lot to build on if they have not seen the trees. Removal can cost more than the original lot land.

$1900 gold is toast. Minimum $ 1875 and probable low well below that to come. $ 1900 has to come before we can hope to end this Int. down trend . Still need Patience but now finally getting bit closure.

Well said as sad as it is. The Repubs getting mad as a platform that doesn’t work isn’t doing it. By 2028 they would do the same but it will be too late. Why should the left care, they know the patriots are law abiding citizens and will look to the law they have control of anyways. They see their fellow patriots harassed, persecuted and jailed. They see their choice of president persecuted and would have him in jail because they know they cannot win fairly while still having no accountability. They stand by peacefully looking to the law to protect them that isn’t there. Only a civil war would bring us a new party.
Interesting, has to be someone outside the gov.
Dagen McDowell on Twitter: “AG Merrick Garland violates Dept. of Justice regulations by appointing David Weiss as Special Counsel. Weiss works for Biden’s DOJ and isn’t eligible. Here’s the relevant reg. Section 600.3. https://t.co/x49rDJIxUD” / X

Doing all they can to get below $1900
Probably so the deep pocket elites can maximize the bargains in PM’s while their petro$$$ still have purchasing power .
Getting into the $1800’s will flush out the last of the weak hands IMHO .

The dollar is rallying for one simple reason. The BRICS + 47 are dumping US Treasuries, creating an artificial demand for dollars, so it could go on for awhile. I don’t know. What I do know is that it is collapsing against real stuff, and is about to get worse. Gas here is now pushing $4, that’s from $3.29 a month ago. This wave of inflation won’t let up and the Fed won’t be able to stop it. They created it and have no intention of stopping it. Oh, they’ll raise rates, but it doesn’t matter, it is a controlled demolition that will be out of control. The spigots have been turned off and capital is drying up in the real economy.
Finally, gold and silver will matter. I have no idea what the shares will do, shorts have covered and only the weakest of hands are still selling. I’m not even sure if the stock market will still trade, but it is going to implode. I expect this in the next 12 months. The perfect excuse to implement martial law and cancel elections. Biden is a tool, Obama’s tool and is finishing what Obama started, the destruction of our country.
The funny thing is that all the useful idiots in the Gov’t. will have pensions denominated in dollars that will have no purchasing power. However, they are so stupid they’ll probably blame Trump.
Buygold
Short term the dollar could head down any time now and wondering if I should pull my shorts for now or wait it out since it’s not that much anyways. At the same time the PMs have to break through resistance they haven’t been able to do yet.
Did you see on the news when they asked Biden if he has anything to say to the people in Maui he smiled and said no comment while he gets off another vacation. Meanwhile the only way Maui got any money was if they agreed to give Ukraine even more money and some other country I didn’t catch. Not much different than the train derailment leaving their town with toxic chemicals making people sick.
Buygold
Yep they mismanaged and kicked the can down the road as far as they can but habits are habits are hard to break and got away with it so long they think they’re entitled so it won’t be their fault it will be some one else’s.
The dollar is in a down trend too despite the Fed hikes and in moved overbought while in down trend . I’m not talking about not day by day or long term but short term levels.
Goldie
The HUI has been in a downtrend since what 2011?
This is a complete, no volume washout, there aren’t any sellers left. The world’s currencies are all in trouble.
The final throes will be when the Fed has to raise rates like the Russians are doing now. 12% will look like a picnic. It’s over, the bond and dollar players just haven’t figured it out yet.

Re: We will never see prices like this again in our lifetimes.
I know you better get out while you can lol
I just scanned the Hui but didn’t do any pattern but still in a down trend and death cross on the 7 th where bounces could happen but until the dollar heads down which the SM will need to do the Dems can take the credit before the elections so guessing next year the Fed will be pressured by them so will try to get as much in while they can before then, They don’t rise the prices and gold doesn’t like interest rate hikes just the premiums behind the curtain.
its gonna be 106 here today and if like that everywhere I wonder if the market will be affected.
This is the mother of all bottoms
We will never see prices like this again in our lifetimes.
I shit you not.
everything is breaking.

I forgot your in a different time zone when you said “ going to be” a challenge to get that poor guy out from under the tree. I though what, are they going to leave him there all night? I hope your trees are away from your house.

Yes I know about DNA and referring to assessing the site getting evidence before they put them into bags because there may be no viable DNA to get. They didn’t handle preventing that that very well so I don’t expect them to with recovery I guess.
If they had traffic officers out there it may of helped get the people out faster.
I guess the best chance would be to have bikes that you could lift over any debris to get out of a off road bike.
I saw a picture of a women who found a live baby kitten in the debris amongst the ashes. Another story about a dog but question it because the story sounded suspicious. They were asking for donations and it wasn’t going to a Maui animal hospital or shelter.
I guess the scams have already started.
I do hope the BlackRocks of the world don’t come next. That they preserve the culture and history of Maui and their Gov puts the people of Maui first right now.
