This might could be a problem...?


The difference i believe is NVDA's buyers are mainly the wealthiest companies in the US with tons of cash flow. Not the start ups that died that CISCO sold to. Not saying NVDA stock couldnt take a big hit, but I do think this is different.

Price of silver in China continues creeping up towards $35.
 
Blackrock can buy them all then get a government program to house all the illegals. Problem solved.
 
and we all know this to be reality...

It's why they 'adjust' (aka fudge) the economic numbers 3 months later... usually downward.
 
Be interested to hear what amount of discretionary spending is actually in the budget. Things like foreign aid, and all the programs the politicians use to get rich. Also no talk about the billions all the illegals are costing us?

Do you know when that hearing was. I'd like to listen to the entire thing.
 
Remember back in the beginning of the year when everyone was bitching about the miners doing nothing? Here we are a few months later and exk has gone from 1.42 to a new 52 week high today at 4.60.

I was hoping to buy a lot more at 1.00 a share. Obviously never got that low.
 
Miners had a real good day today which was kinda odd. No real news to attribute it to. Other than, they seem to be a day early so perhaps expect a very weak CPI and PM's to explode tomorrow.
 
Did you even know about a 25,000 grant for a downpayment if you r parents didn't own a home? Hmm, I wonder who this is heard towards.

 
It looks like we are finally into the next phase with miners actually beliving in a longer term run. They have already set a new high before either Gold or Silver. Hence, the breakout in the ratio here the last 2 days.

 

Here something about the accuracy of the chart:

“A” Periods (Economic Panics)

•1927: Correct (Pre-Great Depression)
•1945: Incorrect (Post-WWII boom)
•1965: Incorrect (Minor downturn, not significant)
•1981: Correct (Early 1980s recession)
•1999: Correct (Dot-com bubble)
•2019: Correct (Pre-2020 pandemic recession)
•2035, 2053: Future predictions (excluded from accuracy calculation)

Total Predictions: 6
Correct Predictions: 4

Accuracy: 4/6 = 66.67%

“B” Periods (Good Times)

•1926: Correct (Before Great Depression)
•1935: Correct (Recovery period)

Total Predictions: 10
Correct Predictions: 8

Accuracy: 8/10 = 80.00%

Overall Accuracy:

Combining the predictions for “A,” “B,” and “C” periods:

Total Predictions: 6 (A) + 11 (B) + 10 (C) = 27
Correct Predictions: 4 (A) + 8 (B) + 8 (C) = 20

Overall Accuracy: 20/27 = 74.07%
 
I'm going to short NVDA and XHB and RCL here soon. I just don't know with what capital. Also, really REALLY like the miner action today. After two very strong days and them smacking the metals today they are hardly down. It's go time.
 
I'm somewhat surprised that Monday morning trading isn't a bit more volatile in the wake of the Trump assassination attempt.

I've been watching the SFE/SGE price of silver in China and it looks like the price is meeting resistance at USD $35. It got to $34.99 on Thursday (July 11) and then dropped to $34.46 on the 15th (yesterday) and closed $34.69 this morning. Seems to be trading in a narrow range over the last week or so.
 
Just before TSHTF


BREAKING NEWS:
