What was the premium gold stock in the US in the 70's?
[In recent podcast, Bret and Heather were contrasting simple informal shaming vs. introducing actual laws. One example given is those who use the public toilet and then don't wash their hands. No, we don't really want to make that illegal, but still. Eww...]
Homestake became Barrick I believe, for which I have no data going back beyond the early 80s. I was just wondering how the blue chips faired as opposed to the rest of the market against gold. I'm supposing that the conservative thing to do was buy Homestake and that it would have faired much better against gold as opposed to the smaller miners.Homestake Mining
Bret is always making me think. Is there an inconsistency here, or is there not?

Nor do most Americans who profess "My Rights!" under the Constitution....ChatGPT obviously doesn't know the real reason central banks buy gold:
Tradition!
Posting for reference for those who haven't seen it (because I reference it all the time): :gold: Tradition! :gold:www.pmbug.com
I agree with you and with Bret's explanation which I only heard after I had posted.Yes, but it is a matter of degree. Coercion implies significantly more pressure than shame. The question becomes at what point do you consider yourself free? We're never free to behave exactly as we want while others are involved.
I dunno?!?!
Bret is not there
If govt is strong enough to regulate, then it is too strong for you to stop it. By definition even.
Simply fascinating. His heart is to the left, but his brain/mind limit it to the reasonable. I give them a lot of credit because I see them change their minds about things in real time based upon new facts and understandings. I will check that box any day.He was campus left until it went to far and started to attack him, after that event he seems to be shifting further right over time. It's been interesting to watch.
Who shall enforce becomes the issue. I haven't solved it.Some is needed but ironically we need to regulate the limitations of government to regulate!

Well you can't barter for everything. They can turn off the heat among other things. I get the feeling they will not leave us alone.Off the grid barter will be the workaround for CBDC. It will be inconvenient, but it is what humans have always done when faced with crappy and destructive centralized money.

COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, Now with Switzerland outlawing a cashless society, I understand your point that cryptocurrency is really a dead end. Without power, itwww.armstrongeconomics.com

I liked this Silver chart from Steve Penny and WSS. A potential small pull-back to $21.50 or 200 dMA. Would be very good time to load up.

The economy grew a touch slower at the end of 2022 than originally reported — at a 2.7% annual pace, revised government figures show, largely because consumers cut back on spending.
The increase in gross domestic product, the official scorecard of the economy, was reduced from an initial 2.9% growth rate.
...
The initial weekly jobless claims decreased by 3,000 to 192,000 in the week to Saturday, surprising the markets with another slight drop.
Economists’ consensus calls projected the initial claims to rise to 200,000 from the previous week’s revised level of 195,000.

Theodore Roosevelt quote: Men can never escape being governed. Either they must govern themselves or they must submit to being governed by othersI like this quote:
And as James Madison put it:
“If Men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and the next place, oblige it to control itself.”

Corruption and COVID: We Are Not ‘All In This Together’

One of China's largest brokerages asked ChatGPT to write a research report on the 2023 global market outlook. And the country's top broker was somewhat impressed by its assessment and top investment picks.
...
For 2023, ChatGPT was more optimistic on equities and gold, Bloomberg reported CICC's analysts Zhao Li and Xiaoqing Yang as saying in a note. "It is more bullish on equities and gold while more cautious on bonds and commodities," the analysts wrote.
ChatGPT's report was "relatively well structured" and analyzed several key themes, including the lingering effects of the pandemic and tighter global monetary policies, the note added.
...
Later when I'm at my computer. You have to keep in mind that chat gpt isn't trained on the current text set it's a few years old.How about asking you guys and ChatGPT, what is the best Gold Miner in the world right now? I probably would have looked to AEM or NEM lately but those results from Newmont were not great. What say you?
