Early morning thoughts on the passing parade

Posted by Buygold @ 4:25 on October 25, 2024  

Sort of dawned on me that the BRICS meeting has been somewhat of a non-event for pm’s this week. I guess it has been a bit of a “sell the news” conference, but no big currency announcements from them and I haven’t heard anything about when they’ll be up and running. I suppose the point is that pm’s haven’t been affected as much as I thought they might be. We are having a pullback, but it seems pretty normal for the moves up we’ve experienced.

I suppose now that I’ve said something we’ll get waterfalled. We’re down 1% in silver tonight and $9 in gold, off the lows and nothing too crazy yet. Dollar looks flat and rates down a little to 4.195% SM up a little. Oil flat, Bitcoin down 1%

Hopefully we’ll end the week with a whimper.

My wife and I voted early yesterday, and the place was packed. Judging by the amount of Republican voting guides in the trash just outside the voting room, I’d say that Republicans were probably voting at a 3-1 clip – at least. People are pretty serious about this and intense, one guy saying to a poll worker after putting his vote in the tabulation machine that “my vote better count, this machine better not screw it up.” People are stretched, stressed, and pissed about it. Pissed about all the lying and B.S. cheating and inflation squeezing them. Could just see it in their faces. There were a couple Demonrat women holding Harris/Walz signs outside the building and asking if we wanted a Demonrat voting guide. I said “we’re good” and didn’t see anyone else running toward them. Another Dem woman was outside lobbying people for her vote for County Commissioner, shoving cards at us. Only women were out there for the Demons, quite telling. I can’t imagine they were feeling all that great about things after the reactions they were getting. Somehow, I think they’re so aloof that they don’t have a clue that this is not a normal election, this is for all the marbles, and most people want nothing to do with them.

My two cents.
