When I used to run and hike in the mountain but mostly when I ran next to streams and rivers the crickets and birds were my eyes especially at sun down. Id have to be pretty hungry to eat them but maybe for fishing bait if I had to. They never failed to let me know if I was being followed. Come to think of it even in front of me to turn back. I went back one time to where I turned back to see what tracks I could find. What I found was a freshly killed donkey. I never seen anything like it. Only his head and spinal cord was still attacked was left whit a look of horror on its face. I wasn’t sure if it was human or animal when I turned back so guessing it was a pack of animals in but what takes all the animal like that leaving it’s spinal cord still attacked like a fish. Nothing left, not even the tail and in one night.
I’ll be darned
Someone told me after all this time Apmex is selling on eBay without all those fees. Have to tell the kids about it.
Seems like some of the PM stocks look like they are topping for now while others just starting to move. Bitcoin doing well and so far may be heading for a next move still a little volatile.
I guess the platinum have moved on expectation cars may start selling again when the real hitlers announced a delay in mandatory EVs by China only at the expense of US and EU manufacturing and interest rates falling.
So higher prices for cars housing etc all continue to rise unless they don’t take the bait yet till you will own nothing but be happy because why work for nothing when they turn around and give it to someone else. The government will provide tiny houses and public transportation as long as they got the money and permission so they know where they are at all times and provide climate friendly low carbon food like crickets and beetles.

The media is saying the left pinning agenda 2025 on Trump when it’s not him but partially more them has been effective in fooling many. So why don’t they open up on agenda 2030 and it’s true agenda run by the UN and WEF. Since it hard to pull a dictatorship in a healthy economy and where people own stuff they got this great idea to tear everything down so they can accept what ever dole they hand out that they stole from them in the first place for the price of their freedom and perpetual poverty or extermination. There already turning blue city’s into open air prisons with the inmates running it.

- It’s going to be harder for people to buy phyzz for a hedge from here on in the face of inflation on top of phyzz premiums. If they live in California even worse because they want to tax it. When buying smaller amounts it’s about not worth it. I told everyone no more metals gift for grandkids your on your own now lol They also make it cost more to buy fraction gold 1/2 1/4 1/10. I have been giving it for gifts and Calif has our of state rules on Taxing now. Like if you go to Apmex and buy something now they announce a tax California made, shipping cost and if you use a card a 4 % charge and not counting premiums they attach. I found since I have Amazon prime I could buy some things that only come from legit business in downturns plus avoid the shipping and 4 % charges for small or small orders. Until they find away to mess that up too. One of my grandsons is learning through having grandson by checking prices. At first it bothered him to see the volatility and years ago when younger gave some eagles away to a cousin and I held back on the gold for that reason. He learned the price goes back up and will likely continue. Now he sees the swiss francs too young before when cheaper but starting go from 300 to 400 to 500. Now they’re starting to get serious and quiet and putting it away from prying hands. They don’t totally understand the disaster we’re headed but are learning through the increase of PM and now everything what’s happening to the value of their dollar. I don’t mention stocks to them. That is just gambling.
Just a reminder !
Interest rates have been reverted for over 600 days. The FED has changed course even though they never came close to their inflation target. History tells us that after the yield curve returns to normal a recession/depression occurs. The longer the yield curve stays inverted, the deeper the recession/depression.
The current state of the world politics, economics, and warfare has resulted in the entire world being vulnerable to a severe depression. Historically, a significant popular war is at the bottom of the economic cycle. The Viet Nam war was the unpopular war at the top of the long term cycle.
If things get bad enough, all debt will be repudiated like the Jewish year of the Jubilee. I don’t have a clue how all this will unfold. Banks, insurance companies and retirement plans are full of stocks and bonds in their reserves.
I still have a few pieces to add to my doomsday list but I have the significant ones in place. I’m very closely watching platinum and palladium in relationship to gold and silver.
”Keep on stacking” !

Captain, SNG
Captain – I don’t know, it just seems like the dollar has resumed its’ downtrend, so that is sort of my thinking. If it reverses course hard off the upcoming double bottom then probably we see some selling for sure in the metals. Other than the COT reports, I don’t really keep an eye on the futures markets like you do, so I really don’t have any idea.
SNG – that appears to be the case for now, although a lot of the miners haven’t exactly helped themselves with earnings. You’d think at some level in the metals, Aladdin’s algo’s will be switched to buy mode. I don’t think the pm mining sector is big enough to matter all that much to BlackRock as long as their precious SM stays alive. Bitcoin is up 4% today, I’d sure like to see pm’s start to move like that. While CB’s are buying the metals up, US investors don’t even seem to have them on their radar. I get the feeling that we’ll wake up one day and all that will have changed and no one will be selling.

Yes sir ree Bob Jim Dandy.
It’s counting in fives higher too.

Between the commies blowing out the deficits with spending prior to the election, along with BRICs related buying right through October potentially – you could be right – any such pullbacks could be delayed.
Plus, silver should blow-off prior to what could be labelled an intermediate top.
Should have mentioned that.
A little tired this morning.

I will believe that when I see it.

No point in sending out draft instructions to ye mobile…..we will have dumped them all v soon…..after what the Israeli’s have just done…..
Captain and Buygold…IMO this time it’s PHYZ OR PHAILURE!
They cannot hold down the real thing, but I think BlackRock’s ALADDIN has the PM shares locked down…FWIW! IMO you’re gambling in their rigged casino! SnG
Captain
Everything changes with a stolen election and that’s the only way the baby killer wins.
CBDC’s should be an uphill battle for them as you say. Hopefully the governor’s of those states like mine stand firm, regardless of who is president.
I’m not seeing the correction you see but I’m wrong most of the time. We’ll see
Get ready to be drafted next year …

It’s for everybody’s good.
Buygold @ 10:38
Unfortunately, we are due for a pullback.
The commies will pull back on spending after the election and that must be discounted soon.
Because there is nothing left of the economy, such a pullback in currency debasement rates will not last long. So, correspondingly the correction in PMs should be mild but larger than what recency bias might have you think.
Like I said yesterday, about 300 clams worth of downside in gold.
Crack up boom after that though. (no later than Q2 2025)
The commies don’t have their CBDCs in place just yet … so they need to keep everybody happy and distracted until the fangs are right on the jugular. (they are vampires)
And there are about 30 states that are going to give them a hard time about it too … especially if they steal the election again.
Have a nice day.
Looks like just you and me Captain
Awful quiet here for such exciting times as these.
I know we lost a lot of folks along the way, some passed, some were smarter and left the circus early. I hope they come back in time to catch what’s coming, because if we still have a functioning world it will be a beautiful thing.
They’ve had NEM and most of the shares on the ropes all day. Won’t last, they’ll get their move in the coming weeks.
Like how we’ve come back in the metals though
Kamala bucks are coming …
… we will never get rid of the commies after that … you will be forced to vote properly or starve.

But hey … Kamala is for abortion right up to birth … or in other words … a woman’s rights … and the sale of baby body parts.
Morning all
They hit the sell button on the shares right out of the gates
Not sure what that means for the metals, but the shares suck at the moment.
Hopefully it’s a buying op, although if the dollar doesn’t square up, we’re probably in trouble. Complete B.S. especially the way the SM is trading.
Where’s Ipso?
Is he out for a bit? Anyone?
Dollar comes ripping back
rates now up 5 bips, as the weekly jobless report was “better than expected” so we get the 9 am treatment.
Funny how the SM and Bitcoin are completely unaffected by it though. That’s a pisser.
We’re still up nicely though, and probably lucky to be up at all considering the move up in rates. Just don’t know how much of these early gains we’ll end up being able to hold. We’ll see.
One thing they always confirm though, gold and silver are the biggest threats on the planet to their ponzi fiat empire.
Holy Moly
My hedges isn’t gonna cover that if it keeps going. Good thing is it’s to the upside.
I grabbed as much sales as I could yesterday on basics and adding more basic medical supplies before a prices start to change.
People are going to get more desperate than they already are.
My car insurance coincidence went up again yesterday for no particular reason than it’s California paying almost double now ,no tickets or accidents retired so low miles but keeps going up maybe hoping they can push us out of full coverage so a illegal can crash into you and your not covered.
Morning Maddog
The biggest surprise to me yesterday was how much they were able to turn the dollar. Course now it has given most of that back.
We are looking at an unbelievably strong open, pm’s and tech in particular. If we hold on, yesterday was a blip and actually gives us more room to run on the charts before getting overbought. $50 reversal yesterday and we’ve gotten $40 back as of now. $1.20 on silver and $1.14 back.
Beautiful. I actually think $3K by year end is a real possibility. I’m insane though.😳

If we had any honesty around in our ‘elders and betters’……someone would audit the scum trading and find a black hole in the bottom line, that would compare with the best ……ystdy they must have thrown billions at the mkts and yet as of now every cent spent is at a loss and a loss that is growing fast….
