A lot of people don’t have the patience and why things never change for them.

and it was only months ago that copper was touted to double in price yadayadayada but now everything’s on the dung heap. (well, not gold. Second highest close in history today in Aussie dollars). More wealth destroying pumps from the Experts.

Now Trump announces a $1tn defence budget. Tells the world that China WILL come to the negotiating table. Starting to diss Putin because he won’t give up on his non-negotiables; I don’t think Trump understands what that phrase means. Trump is setting himself up for some big losses and in my experience when egos of that size are cut down the other side of the world is a good place to be.

Navarro and Musk are at odds, with Navarro calling Musk a car assembler because even the ‘most American made’ cars have between 25% to 40% foreign content. GM is 71%. You can’t turn that manufacturing deficit around in months, especially amongst all this uncertainty. Who will invest, and I don’t mean which company because the amounts are far too big to come out of companies’ reserves, no, which investors, equity and debt, are going to give/lend money for expansion during an equity market crash or a corporate debt bust?

What are popcorn futs looking like?

It’s ALADDIN, programmed by BlackRock, who uses your on-line brokers portfolio containing your shares  for control. IMO FWIW!

Cracks me up, I  guess my 18 yr old grandson was watching me closer than I thought. I got a picture of him today sitting next to his computer and made his first money today.

Couldn’t even mount a one day bounce after a huge open.

I look at stocks like AG & HL, they are trading at $25 silver, if that. The only thing that matters is what the SM does.

talk about lazy dumb trading….they may as well close all other mkts and just leave the SM open…..

Maybe we get some traction if the miners start to show some heavy duty dividends…..because $ 3000 gold has to be producing big earnings……..

Its also starting to look like the one day bounce today in the stock market, or the indices may be rolling over.

Base metals are all down – nickel, zinc, copper leading the way. The big dog miners RIO & BHP have been pretty ugly the whole way down.

At the drop of a hat, we’ve gone from inflation to deflation. Oil back under $60. Even Bitcoin is down $3K. Rates should be falling but who in the hell wants US Treasuries, or any western treasuries for that matter.

PM’s have somehow gone from shortages to abundance in under a week. No help from a weaker dollar. PM prices solely depend on what the SM does.

Sub $1 miners/explorers have been beaten like baby seals, new 52-week lows on several I watch. Dolly Varden being one, I’ve never seen a reverse split bear fruit for a stock price. WTF are they thinking? They’ll probably turn around now and offer some shares in a private placement to some investor in exchange for a shitty note.

Wow … I thought I was negative.

I guess the hawk tua girl will be back soon.

Are sh*t coins about to turn into a bad case of diarrhea?

Sure looks that way.

Depends sales should explode however.

Chuckle

Same as it always is. Decent starts turn into slow death.

Back to suckitude for a while.

… selling books and new manufactured disease … calling Donald Trump or RFK Jr … where are you?

How is this possible?

We started the slow drift lower in the shares about 10 minutes ago. I’d be really surprised if we held any real gains, especially if the SM starts to give up the ghost.

… pathetic and corrupt green policies for the grift that it is … exposing Mark Carney as the lying huckster he is.

Unbelievable

… sold heavily in the futures market yesterday. (especially silver)

Expect more weakness when the bounce in stocks runs out.

Don’t know if they’ll dump em’ at the open as they are prone to do, but it looks nice at the moment.

I am in amazement of all these countries so interested in our politics and even on their media selectively bias to outright propaganda. What’s all the fixation?

On the other hand they think people like Biden are great and the opposite of what is great for us.  Especially considering most citizens are too busy to worry about what other counties are doing and no media keeping up on their elections or politics or telling  them to ban Volkswagen’s and the owner because they’re promoting war by making tanks instead or vandalizing them. Things like that. I haven’t heard tourist of Europe being questioned about their politicians although some news is starting to get out but not much.

Well, just about everything. Oil and Bitcoin are lagging just below the flatline. SM futures are up about 2%, bonds up, rates down 4 bips. Didn’t realize how big a move that was in the bond market yesterday. Rates went from under 4 to 4.18% The dollar is weaker.

PM’s look good, so do pm shares. GLD and SLV up 1.25% respectively. GDX and GDXJ up over 3% at this very early hour.

Hard to know what this will look like 4 hours from now when the Crimex opens. They seem to be taking the reigns again.

It seems that he’s used to getting his own way, either because he can bully his way to a settlement or because he is in such a strong position. He has a strong personality and total self-belief. Does anyone know of any situations where he had to back down, and how he reacted? For instance, there is no acceptance that his fast tracking of the vaccine was a disaster. He’s still blaming every aspect of the covid debacle on Biden, even though Trump appointed Fauci.

So now he is up against Putin, and also against Trump are the EU, NATO and Zlinky. He’s failed to end the war on day one, week one, month one or in the first quarter and truth be told, all he has achieved is to highlight the various players’ positions. Only a combined US/Russia operation can enforce anything, an unthinkable alliance; so how will Trump react to failure?

And he is up against Xi who, like Putin, has been there forever and again like Putin, is there for life. Trump has been and gone once and the Chinese made hay whilst Biden shone, and in a few years Trump will be gone again. Xi knows that the US needs imports for so many things right now, because he knows it takes years to rebuild a manufacturing base and train staff. And some things, like rare earths, are pretty much only available from China and Xi is already talking about export bans. What does China really need from the US? Nothing. All the blustering from Trump isn’t going to short cut building assembly lines. It’s not like speeding up the completion of a new tower block. Higher tariffs will hurt Americans much more than they will hurt Chinese. So how will Trump react to higher inflation, caused by his tariffs?

So much winning in the first few weeks. The low hanging fruit have been picked. Let’s hope he’s got strategies in place that are certainly not obvious at the moment. Otherwise he will need humility.

LP and I used to do them like that, ‘cept we would cut up immediately, vacuum pack and mature for four weeks in the fridge before freezing – didn’t have a cold room. Maybe the need for speed rules more supremely in the USA? Mass producers turning the product too quickly to minimise holding costs?
