    I like Belkin because he thinks.

      Jun 27, 2015 27:09 AM

      Yes I really enjoyed the Michael Belkin section…..but I’ve enjoyed the last 3 or 4 interviews he’s done on weekend shows, and agree with him on Australian Gold, and base metals producers, Emerging Markets, and China. Sharp dude.

        Jun 27, 2015 27:16 AM

        Rick Rule is always good to hear speak, Avi is sharp (even if his technical views are controversial at times), and Craig (Turd Furguson) – has interesting thoughts in the PM space.

          Jun 27, 2015 27:30 AM

          The community Guidelines from the Craig Hemke (aka Turd Furguson) – TF Metals Report are funny and appropriate for this blog:

            TURD is quite the DUDE!

            Jun 27, 2015 27:17 AM

            No. 9…………might apply here……….. 🙂

            Turd is saying that whoever thinks gold could go to $1000 doesn’t understand markets.
            He is saying Gary is clueless no?

            Jun 27, 2015 27:45 AM

            And many others, bb.

            Well, it makes markets Mathew.
            Myself, I see gold could go to $1000 or lower, I still think if we do we will see Chinese purchases increase, over the years tho I think it will increase, doing what it has always done. We will see I guess.

            Jun 28, 2015 28:28 AM

            It’s funny. I posted these Guidelines from Turd earlier today when there were only 6 comments on the blog, hoping people would note the comments like (2) be nice (3) be helpful…….(8) Confine all controversial topics and discussions to their designated forum

            As I read over the comments tonight after there are tons of comments, so many people are still arguing about so many controversial topics and some are no longer being nice. It gets old reading through all the bickering over religion, politics, and watching people pick at one another’s beliefs.

            Jun 28, 2015 28:09 AM

            What? And give up on human nature?

            Jun 28, 2015 28:20 AM

            I am almost ready to give up on posting on this site because I’m here for investing ideas in commodities, energy, bonds, and the general markets. Very few comments on this entire blog actually relate to investing ideas in hard assets or even the topics covered by the speakers on the weekend show above. For the few that post relevant articles, charts, stock tips, or economic news – thank you immensely. The rest of the comments remind me more of a Yahoo rant board, and this blog has been becoming more and more like this since the beginning of this year in 2015, and degrades further each week.

            Birdman, I know you were only kidding, but let’s seriously consider “human nature” as it relates to blogging: I’ve never seen one example on any blog, where anybody converted another posters political or religious views to a new one. It’s never happened, yet people waste hours yelling at politicians in Europe or Russia or the US on an investing site. People spend hours debating and pontificating on the Trans Pacific Partnership, or Greek Exit, or Crimea, or Syria, as if they have any control over the situation, or in a need to be right. None of that crap makes anyone here any money, and is just pissing in the wind. These political and religious rants only lead to bickering, name calling, arguing, and it gets old very quickly.

            Personally, I think people should be able to post whatever they want, and am a big proponent of free speech. However, one would think just out of common sense or an interest in the topics above, that people on this particular forum would want to share investing ideas that could make us all money. There are other website and blogs for discussing politics and religion chock full of people to argue with if that’s your thing……a few on this site really do. Apparently most want to just pontificate on politics they can’t change and debate religion opinions (which polarizes an audience and people are Never going to agree on these topics).

            Jun 28, 2015 28:37 AM

            Take a moment and scan down the comments on the bottom 2/3 of this blog (the majority of it) and see if it has any information helpful for investing in hard assets.

            Jun 28, 2015 28:39 AM

            Politics and world affairs are half the show, Shad. Even religion has its place. Topics of all kind interest me. All I really object to is crazy people hijacking the threads and spewing emotional crap at everyone who comes near them.

            Jun 28, 2015 28:57 AM

            I wouldn’t say they’re half the show Birdman. If that was true, then why don’t all the show sponsors have political & religious banner adds up instead of Gold, Silver, Energy, (and for some reason bio-tech).

            If I was a show sponsor like Santa Cruz, Exeter, or Rye Patch, then I’d want to reach an audience of asset based investors, not political or religious pontificaters. If I was a speaker on this weekend’s show like Rick Rule, Trader Vic, Avi Gilburt or Michael Belkin and read 70 % of the comments on the bottom 2/3 of this blog, I’d seriously question whether I was reaching an audience of interested investors in the PM space, or if I was instead in a typical Yahoo editorial blog. Just sayin’……

            Jun 28, 2015 28:11 AM

            It’s ok Shad. Most of the gold and silver people who once populated this blog are gone because metals don’t resonate right now. And since their departure the empty space was filled in by a few weeds. Nature hates a void! But not much can be done until precious metals resurrect again. The freakish religious bile from HH gets on my nerves but what can you do?

            Jun 28, 2015 28:08 AM

            great set of rules.

        Jun 28, 2015 28:47 AM

        Yes he. Certainly does, Bill.

          Jun 28, 2015 28:17 AM

          Shad, a few comments on your comment on the blog and the “waste of time that you feel this site might be for sponsors.

          We actually watch the numbers pretty closely.

          We have found that there is a close correlation between the share volumes of our sponsor companies and the time that management is interviewed. Obviously, the collaboration has proven to be very positive for the sponsors.

          We have actually received many unsolicited comments from sponsors that tell us that the referrals from our site to theirs is one of the highest that they receive.

          That is very important to us because we believe that we must provide a valuable service as that is only honest.

          Secondly, we find the religious and political comments are absolutely fascinating.

          I will always maintain that there is a correlation between the markets and geopolitical events. I am sure that you would agree with that observation.

          I also feel that it is fascinating to get to know people based on their comments on the forum. It really gives us a “family feel”.

          What do you think about this?

            Jun 28, 2015 28:56 AM

            Big Al. I think you and Cory are true gentlemen, and I have enjoyed coming to your site for years, because it has always been a beacon of light in the precious metals and energy space. I have found and invested in some of the companies you have highlighted as sponsors over the years, and will always thank you for building awareness in these projects. I love when we get to hear from the CEOs and when they give us project updates (there weren’t any this weekend, and were only 3 all month and one was a biotech stock). This is why I first came to this site, because I was looking for investment ideas in the JR mining space – that was your niche.

            Having said that, this audience has changed a great deal over the years, and the discussions used to be focused on hard assets and energy, so this niche market you focused on was addressing and attracting listeners, and therefore sponsors. That is changing just as evidenced by the companies that have become recent sponsors on here like Miraculins, Theralase, and Snipp.

            Personally I don’t understand the bio-tech stocks like Theralaze or Miraculins being sponsors, or Snipp in technology as they are from a completely different sector of the markets, and there are other websites that cater to those markets exclusively. Personally I think it waters down the focus of the site, and surely there are other Jr miners that would get value being sponsors here from all the commodity shows that you and Cory attend. This will only be true, and new sponsors will only be attracted to being part of this blog if the audience on the KE Report (your marketing reach) is commodity and energy focused, and not wailing about politics and religion, which will always divide an audience, create hurt feelings, and rarely creates a “family feel.”

            I’m not the only one that felt this way once you started switching the focus from hard assets and energy to bio-tech either. Many of the wise commodity and energy focused posters have already vented those opinions about why the change in direction, or why the increased focus on politics that is straying further and further for any real economic tie in? Those posters questions generated no response, and as the dynamics became more and more negative, with posters attacking each other, scoffing at the PM or economic experts interviewed, or just getting on political and religious soap boxes, then the real investors left this blog last year or this year (taking their wisdom and experience in this investing space with them).

            A little blog etiquette and some general guidelines for this site (like what Craig Hemke has above), would have kept the blog more focused and attractive to people that invest versus those that just have opinions on global events they can’t change anyway.

            Again look at #8 on Turd’s list of guidelines:

            “8) Confine all controversial topics and discussions to their designated forum.”

            Nothing is more controversial than religion or politics. People get emotional, or offended, or worked up, or want to correct each other, or think they are spreading some kind of wisdom or God’s word. They aren’t. They’re just pissing other people off so that they want to go to another blog instead.

            If religious talks are so interesting, then why was Franky just recently banned, and why did everyone complain to you about how offended they were? Of course his posts were controversial, but if religious discussions are “fascinating” then shouldn’t his comments rank the same as someone preaching biblical quotes at everyone?

            The same rules should be upheld for limiting all the preaching, bible quotes, anti-jewish statements, anti-mormon statements, anti-muslim statements, or even anti-atheist posts as well. I just don’t see how religious quotes help a blog focused on commodities and energy, or the show sponsors, or the show editorial contributors.

            The same can be said for most of the news or political junk people spew on a daily basis on this blog. The current news of the day is gunmen killing unarmed people in a church, gay rights, the greece mess, the TPP, and confederate flags being taken down, and it is already covered in too much detail repeatedly on tons of other news sites. So how does everyone and their grandma weighing on their personal neuroses and beliefs help readers interested in investing in commodities and energy? (Answer – It doesn’t).

            How will the TPP, or AIIB, or gay rights, or confederate flags, or what the president says, or what the Fed says, do anything to make someone on this site any money? (Answer – It won’t). What will happen is a bunch of people that don’t offer any real information on investing in commodities or energy, get to unpack all their personal beliefs about the world, and it waters down the investing focus.

            Peoples views on politics and religion may be interesting to you, but they don’t relate to Jr mining or even economics in most cases, and are not offering information related to investing that the sponsors and speakers are focused on. I like getting off-topic as well sometimes, and like getting to know people in a “family feel”, but if you read the bottom 2/3 of this blog I’m not getting a real “family feel”. I see a great deal of arguing, insulting, name calling, or people just pontificating on politics that they can’t do anything to change, and it doesn’t make anyone here any money.

            Personally I agree that there is some correlation between markets and geopolitical events, but I believe I have heard you and every other commentator (Doc, Chris, Gary, and Rick) mention that the “Fundamentals don’t matter anymore” as the markets are controlled, or because they only use strictly technical analysis. You’ve made the point several times that you want to learn more about technical analysis because the geo-political events don’t seem to move the markets at all any more.

            My response to you that day was then if the fundamentals don’t matter, and only technical analysis is important then why do you continue to cover politics each week, and why do you ask technical traders like Rick or Doc or Gary about political events and how they may move the market? If fundamentals don’t matter, then who gives a flip about the TPP, or Fast track, or elections, or the Fed, or Iran, or Ukraine and Russia, or the AIIB, or any of it? Most of the questions you ask people about including supply demand metrics, company management, or updates on projects are all FUNDAMENTAL data points, and not technical analysis.

            If everyone has unanimously stated that fundamentals don’t matter, then let’s discuss technical indicators and chart analysis on the show instead (like the video session you did with Doc last week).

            Again, I want to thank you Al and Cory and Doc/Rick/Chris/Gary for all the work you all do to make this site possible. It just seems like a complete contradiction to say you’re focused on hard assets and energy when you have companies like Miraculins, Snipp, and Therelase as sponsors (totally unrelated sectors). It likewise is a complete contradiction to personally state and have every expert and many bloggers proclaim that Fundamentals don’t matter, and then spend most of the interviews and shows discussing Fundamental data points. Either fundamentals don’t matter, so the show migrates over to a technical analysis format, or Fundamentals do matter, and the data points should be focused on things that actually may move the economics in commodities and energy. It’s called Focus.

            Jun 28, 2015 28:57 AM

            Al – read through the bottom 2/3rds of this blog and see if you think it’s a “family feel”.

            Thanks LPG. Always good to hear your thoughts and you have always posted in a positive and constructive manner for all. You’re a class act and your input is appreciated!

            Cheers!

            Jun 28, 2015 28:42 PM

            I am thinking about talking with Cory about starting a second site related to political topics, etc.

            Any comments on this?

            Jun 28, 2015 28:09 PM

            That’s an interesting idea, because that would be a forum clearly focused on politics, so I’m sure there would likely be some very interested supporters. A political site would likely attract a different crowd that is not necessarily interested in investing or commodities/energy, but has opinions, news postings, and editorials related to those topics. It would also attract a different lineup of potential speakers, and potential sponsors (not related to mining or energy).

            In mining where you’re focused on Gold mining, but you lock into great properties with a base metals project, then rather than dilute the focus of the gold company, you create a “spin-off” company. People do spin-off companies to focus their energy and branding one concept, but recognize the value of another branding and concept, so they move that project out into a new life of its own. Of course you can link the two communities and get a little cross-pollination.

            Jun 28, 2015 28:09 PM

            Personally I still see value in certain fundamental news like what is happening in bond yields, company updates, new discoveries, new mines, mergers & acquisitions, supply demand fundamentals for spot versus paper, currency news in the Dollar/Euro/Yen/Loonie/Franc, base metals that are affected by PMI numbers in China or US or Europe, automobile sales figures that can affect PGMs, SouthAmerican mine strikes, Mexican tax laws changing towards miner, oil supply demand metrics, OPEC decisions, Solar companies, Uranium companies, Nat gas companies, Wind companies, etc…etc….

            There is so much news coming out that is very relevant to the metals, the miners or energy sector, and it isn’t nearly as controversial and is plenty to fill a show with that is still focused around the economics of this sector.

      Jun 27, 2015 27:17 AM

      Big Al,You did not comment on my prognostications yesterday about the logical consequences of the gay and lesbian marriage decision of the Supreme Court.
      The logical consequence of that is an attempt to destroy Christian doctrine in the US, if not Christianity itself.
      Even though I am not a Christian, I see this as the most important nail in the destruction of the U.S.

        Jun 27, 2015 27:50 PM

        Good call CFS. I agree with you completely. Its time for good people to stand up and fight if we must.

        bj
        Jun 28, 2015 28:26 AM

        The greatest consequence will be in the cost of government as same sex partners with chronic STDs, such as aids, will become spouses of many government workers at all levels government; and those spouses will be enrolled into government provided healthcare plans of their same sex spouses.

        This has always been the greatest issue ever ignored in this debate because it is measurable in real numbers that transcend all the emotional rhetoric and religious dogma–and you can bet these numbers will never be made public for the same obvious reasons they were ignore throughout the gay rights movement.

        BTW, CFS:

        My only object to gay marriages is as I’ve explained above, and I’m socially straight as an arrow,. As a Christian, I’ve been taught to abide in peace with my neighbor and let God be the judge. But no where in those teaching have I found anything requiring me to subsidize, suffer from, clean up after or be imposed upon by another’s life style.

        I suppose when the other shoe drops a lot it will be interesting to see what comes out of the closet at the Supreme Courts–conventional wisdom might suggest merely robes; while those who think outside the box might be less surprised.

          Jun 28, 2015 28:06 AM

          bj,

          I certainly agree with your third paragraph!

        Jun 28, 2015 28:58 AM

        Sorry Professor, I did not comment yesterday because our family was visiting, and still kind of is.

        I agree with you comment.

        I discussed this issue at length with my son-in-law whose comment was, “it is not correct for government to legislate issues like this. Should be a societal decision and I would agree with that.

        How about you?

        Jun 28, 2015 28:59 AM

        Sorry Professor, I did not comment yesterday because our family was visiting, and still kind of is.

        Jun 28, 2015 28:18 PM

        Shad,

        I want to thank you for your well thought out and well articulated comment.

        I will discuss this with Cory, Doc, Rick, Chris and Gary (among others) tomorrow.

        I have to say that I certainly do see your point.

        Best to you.

          Jun 28, 2015 28:55 PM

          Thanks for the response back Al. I am rooting for a forum of exchange where we can share great investing ideas as a group that will makes us all better investor in the commodities and energy sectors. The task of monitoring the content is very difficult, but it wouldn’t be if the posts are constructive and where they tie in to why we’re all here on an economic site focused on hard assets. All ideas are welcome, and nobody wants a policed site, but if a culture is built that is reinforced by the members of the community, then usually problem posters will weed themselves out. If comments on the blog are encouraged to stay somewhat related to commodities, energy, the general markets, bond markets, currency markets, and technical analysis, then the focus will be in place, and it will compliment the audio commentaries and attract even more show sponsors. Synergy.

          Again, I have the utmost respect for the show you and Cory produce all, our normal 4 commentators (Rick, Doc, Gary, and Chris), the sponsored companies, and the special guests during the week and on weekend shows.

          Hopefully the members of this blog will be excited to share ideas with this small group of intelligent investors, in the overwhelming sea of information in the world of investment websites & the blogosphere. It’s too much for any one person to watch and monitor it all, but as a team that shares tips and information, or technical analysis skills, or breaking news, or information that can assist in investment ideas, then we all win together. Less controversial ranting from bloggers, less arguing and personal attacks, and instead more investment ideas that can lead us all to prosperity.

            Jun 28, 2015 28:59 PM

            Sorry to disagree with you Shad but after reading your book length post and all the complaints what you are asking for in a nutshell is for the world to start dancing to your drummer.

            You have a complaint about almost everything! Sheesh man, you need more Reggae. (or a valium)
            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdB-8eLEW8g

            Jun 29, 2015 29:23 AM

            Birdman, I respect you position of disagreeing, but you probably don’t realize how many people have left due to the culture that has developed on this board (and some of them due to your antics in Feb, March, and April). Go back and read the blogs from Feb, March, and April of this year and see the effect you comments and conversational style have had on this blog.

            Do you think Original JJs constant bashing of anyone in the gold space, any pundit or economist mentioned was helpful? Was he winning friends and influencing people? Maybe you like fighting all day on a blog, but it gets old to everyone else Birdman. Let’s not forget that the reason Matthew’s name changed to “ignoring Birdman” was because you engaged in much the same behavior most of this year. The reason that Matthew originally left, and Glenfidish, and Andrew, and Jerry OOTB changed his name because of the personal attacks you were engaged in. I didn’t say anything then, because it wasn’t my fight, but it was annoying to everyone Birdman, and many other posters voiced their opinions about it and left. So I’m not sure you’ll understand the remarks I made above.

            Some of the suggestions above are just common sense on keeping the blog focused to Jr Mining explorers and Energy. If you think we should just cover everything in the investing universe, and politics, and religion, then there is no focus, no target audience and why would speakers and sponsors want to be part of group with no focus? It would be like a radio station that just plays every kind of music (rock, then jazz, then metal, then classical, the rap, then irish jig, then country, then reggae) , but does talk radio on unrelated topics in between. Who would tune in to schizo frantic channel like that?

            Do you really believe that featuring bio-tech stocks like Miraculins, Theralase, and tech companies like Snipp have anything to do with the target market of listeners here Birdman?

            Do you think tons of posts this weekend and most of this year where 70% of the blog is religious debates, posters attacking each other about their moral beliefs on the middle east, gay marriage, confederate flags, presidential election candidates, European politics, bashing Jewish people, bashing Muslim people, bashing Mormon people, bashing democrats, bashing republicans, etc…… has anything to do with investing in Jr. Explorers in the PM or Energy space?

            Again, I’m all for freedom of speech and expression, but if the freedom of speech is just attacking people on the blog, or everyone unloading their personal neuroses and limited beliefs on politics, religion, and gets down to name-calling and mocking then where is the value in that?

            If people share ideas from some of the top economists, pundits, and CEOs in the world and people come on to slam those “experts”, tear down all investing ideas in PMs as silly, and crap all over anyone’s ideas, then why would those people continue to post or share anything?

            No proselytizing please. Religion has ruined quite enough good lives already and turned more than a few ordinary people into dirty hairy monkeys…… Jerry, don’t you know that religion is just another way to tax you and keep you stupid and compliant? Look at the priesthood…just a bunch of perverts and pedophiles with one hand in their pants and the other asking for a handout. Nobody even knows how they can still type the liturgy at the same time their hands are so busy…….but its all for God of course!
            BB is right. We need less religion and less government too.

            Bird,
            This is s horrible comment regarding priest and the catholic faith. This attack is by far the worse I have seen. Uncalled for. Listen folks I’ve stated many times I don’t come here for the religion talk. It is a very sensitive topic but what bird just said attacks al, myself and many others. I have been good to the board and never attacked anyone else’s faith or religion because that’s personal and part of who you are. Your foundation. I respect all and personally don’t care what you study or preach. There will always be bad everywhere around you. My faith has been under attack for a very long time. People have left the church and many so called Christians have moved on to many other denominations. They have all branches of Catholic Church. When asked why they have left many have responded to boring for me. The priest are pedophiles etc etc. I ask them are you happy in your new place? They respond yes but quickly return to attacking my faith. I can see the hat in these people or Christians. All Christians who have left our church most I come across attack us. You don’t leave something because you loved it. So my response to everyone is evil is everywhere and around us. But evil lies on your tongue and actions. Because you have left a church for a better place continuing your hate and evil bias towards my faith makes you fat from salvation. I’m comfortable with my faith and my faith loves one another and does not hate others. I can assure you on my family my faith is about love and giving. There will always be evil everywhere. Don’t blow up a few priest for the sake of attacking. That is pure evil in itself. Many in here are pastors or reverend. I respect that but I known personally from friends of some who have taken and take 20 points a month from these people on a monthly base. Tax? That is a big lump of sum and these pastors drive around with bmw, Mercedes and own massive homes. My local priest comes to are special functions and is dedicated to his faith. Sleeps in a simple place and I need to taxi him around. Never once has he failed me. Look around evil is in the tongue. There is bad everywhere and it starts with each of our comments.

            Birdman says:

            I never mentioned Catholics. Go back and read the comment and don’t put words in my mouth. I merely expressed a personal opinion. EVERY comment on this site, (including yours) are personal opinions Glenfiddish, whether they be the racist garbage spewed by a few white supremacists who come here or the Israel haters or pro-gun lobby or the gay basher’s or the Fed haters or the anti-abortion crowd.

            Do you see censorship on this blog? So go and judge elsewhere unless you want to limit yourself to being politically correct and devoid of an opinion about the issues that surround us all. Who gives a damn if I don’t think much about organized religion anyway?….NOBODY!

            Anyway, this just proves my point. None of you people want to talk economics.
            You are all obsessed with personal slights and the characteristics of the people posting rather than the topics offered up.
            I invited you and others to discuss interest rates an inflation. Nobody spent a minute posting a single word. Instead I get treated to an essay from you about your own moral high ground and what is wrong with my opinion.

            Maybe you should be posting on religious forums.

        Jun 28, 2015 28:47 PM

        I am thinking about talking with Cory about starting a second site related to political topics, etc.

        Any comments on this?

          Jun 28, 2015 28:02 PM

          That’s an interesting idea, because that would be a forum clearly focused on politics, so I’m sure there would likely be some very interested supporters. A political site would likely attract a different crowd that is not necessarily interested in investing or commodities/energy, but has opinions, news postings, and editorials related to those topics. (ala Zero Hedge). It would also attract a different lineup of speakers, and potential sponsors (not related to mining or energy).

            Jun 28, 2015 28:06 PM

            In mining where you’re focused on Gold mining, but you lock into a great properties with base metals, then we’d call it a “spin-off” company. People do spin-off companies to focus their energy and branding one concept, but recognize the value of another branding and concept, so they move that project out into a new life of its own. Of course you can link the two communities and get a little cross pollination.

            Jun 28, 2015 28:08 PM

            Personally I still see value in certain fundamental news like what is happening in bond yields, company updates, new discoveries, new mines, mergers & acquisitions, supply demand fundamentals for spot versus paper, currency news in the Dollar/Euro/Yen/Loonie/Franc, base metals that are affected by PMI numbers in China or US or Europe, automobile sales figures that can affect PGMs, SouthAmerican mine strikes, Mexican tax laws changing towards miner, oil supply deman metrics, OPEC decisions, Solar companies, Uranium companies, Nat gas companies, Wind companies, etc…etc…. There is so much news coming out that is very relevant to the miners or energy sector, and it isn’t nearly as controversial and is plenty to fill a show with that is still focused around the economics of the sector.

          Jun 28, 2015 28:07 PM

          A second site? I bet Cory will be thrilled to hear that! He is probably just dying to increase the daily output and divide his energy into smaller and smaller parts until he ends up in a big fight with his wife about never having free time for a walk on the beach. Yup, great idea. Lets have 10 sites for Shad. One for each company that he likes. Hahahaha.

            Jun 29, 2015 29:08 AM

            I wasn’t the one that suggested the 2 sites, it was Al’s idea. I just responded it was and interesting idea that would attract different sponsors that may not be interested in commodities or energy or even investing. It would also bring in a different lineup of speakers, editorials, and likely a much different audience.

            Keeping one site is fine with me and way less work, but if so, isn’t what made this site great the focus it had on Jr mining and smaller energy companies? There used to be 2 pages of show sponsors in the Jr miners, small oil companies, and those make sense together as they are exploration and extraction businesses. Other commodities makes sense because they are exploration and extraction based businesses. Very similar business models.

            Do you really believe that featuring bio-tech stocks like Miraculins, Theralase, and tech companies like Snipp have anything to do with the target market of listeners here Birdman?

            Do you think tons of posts this weekend and most of this year where 70% of the blog is religious debates, posters attacking each other about their moral beliefs on the middle east, gay marriage, confederate flags, presidential election candidates, European politics, bashing Jewish people, bashing Muslim people, bashing Mormon people, bashing democrats, bashing republicans, etc…… has anything to do with investing in Jr. Explorers in the PM or Energy space?

            Many smart investors that had trading ideas, stock picks, chart analysis, etc… jumped to other sites when things started getting unfocused and ugly at the end of last year and this year in 2015. Go back and read the blog from Feb, March, and April and take a look at the hand you may have played in part of that.

            Again, I’m all for freedom of speech and expression, but if the freedom of speech is just attacking people on the blog, or everyone unloading their personal neuroses and limited beliefs on politics, religion, and gets down to name-calling and mocking then where is the value in that?

            If people share ideas from some of the top economists, pundits, and CEOs in the world and people come on to slam those “experts”, tear down all investing ideas in PMs as silly, and crap all over anyone’s ideas, then why would those people continue to post or share anything? (Original JJ and Bill come to mind)

            Other than the few gold expert haters that show up from time to time, most people don’t get into squabbles over the price of a silver miner, or a merger and acquisition in the Gold mining space. They almost always fight or people get offended when people pontificate on their moral code, their views for who should be president, their views on religion, or their views on politics. They are controversial topics, that don’t relate to hard asset investing and they are like a cancer spreading through the blog.

            If you want more weekend shows like this one with a bunch of adults arguing with each other like high school children then rock on. It’s not like skipping over a long article, it is hundreds of negative posts, that discourage others from jumping in to share, breeds contempt of certain posters, and doesn’t help anyone here make any money or become better investors. Do you think the way the blog has been going in 2015 with countless days of name-calling, arguing, one-up-mans ship, or trash-talking is beneficial for readers/listeners, show guests, or show sponsors?

            If this weekends show was the first time you had visited the site, and then read the child-like antics on the blog, you’d likely not post anything, and would probably leave and not come back.

            Marc Alan mentioned last week during the Franky scandal that he had referred 26 people over to the blog that were interested in investing , and all of them came, read the negative comments on religion and politics and left never to come back. Does that sound warm and welcoming to you?

            I don’t care if it’s one site or 2 sites, but things need to improve, and its easy to fix. Have everyone treat each other with respect, no name-calling, no bashing, and it’s fine to disagree with someone, but do it in a civil and professional manner, with facts and charts, not spewing negative opinions or heckling.

            Again look at #8 on Turd’s list of guidelines:

            “8) Confine all controversial topics and discussions to their designated forum.”

            Nothing is more controversial than religion or politics.

            People get emotional, or offended, or worked up, or want to correct each other, or think they are spreading some kind of wisdom or God’s word. They aren’t. They’re just pissing other people off so that they want to go to another blog instead.

            Jun 29, 2015 29:00 AM

            Ha! Yeah you are just an innocent bystander with a free keyboard and more time to kill than even I can imagine.

            It is not laziness Shad. Your attack was unprecedented, vicious and was issued almost without provocation. I just don’t care to read anything more from you and am seriously considering ending my time on this blog. You can take your attack forward without me, thank you very much.

      The actions of the Speaker of the House in support the Big Zero will destroy the Republican Party as we know it.

      For those interested in SILVER, Yi Cui’s group at Stanford U. Has made further nano-technology breakthroughs.
      Silver nanowire-coated cotton cloth traps and retains heat (due to infrared reflection)

      Details may be found at:
      bus.acs.org/10.1021/nl5036572
      Since the IEA estimates over a third of all energy is used in home heating and cooling, this new method of heating (retaining heat) and cooling (keeping out heat) has great potential.

          Heating consumes large amount of energy and is a primary source of greenhouse gas emission. Although energy-efficient buildings are developing quickly based on improving insulation and design, a large portion of energy continues to be wasted on heating empty space and nonhuman objects. Here, we demonstrate a system of personal thermal management using metallic nanowire-embedded cloth that can reduce this waste. The metallic nanowires form a conductive network that not only is highly thermal insulating because it reflects human body infrared radiation but also allows Joule heating to complement the passive insulation. The breathability and durability of the original cloth is not sacrificed because of the nanowires’ porous structure. This nanowire cloth can efficiently warm human bodies and save hundreds of watts per person as compared to traditional indoor heaters.

        I think that gold prices should be more strongly correlated with Treasury Inflation Protected Securities prices, since yields have been in the negative for some time. The entire TIPS yield curve can go negative, which means gold should be valued comparatively higher than this particular bond’s price. Should yields rise in Japanese bond markets, then the Yen will see a rally.

You can say Rothschild or Illuminati or Communists, but “they” started thinking about how to bring down the USA decades, if not a century ago, and we are just now seeing their plans carried out. Some of these actions are done by their physical and spiritual children, but some, like George Soros, are still alive.

    Jun 27, 2015 27:05 AM

    Although I was concerned about the market a couple of months ago, I disagree with Big Al’s concern at this moment in time. This is because I see the bond market going down before the stock market. There are still billions of dollars sitting in money market funds and CDs. As CDs mature this money has to go elsewhere for higher interest rates. As money markets break the buck, likewise, some of that money will also move into the only place where non-zero interest rates can be obtained; the stock market. Just my fundamental analysis conclusions! Also rotation between sectors can still be observed. Healthcare/pharma/biotech continues strongly. Consumer spending and financials are not weak at this time. Thus there are still areas in which it is reasonable to invest.
    I see some weakness in oil, but believe that to be range ($50-70) bound. Demand in the US is dropping, but Chindia increasing. (and dollar decreasing)
    Some relatively safe companies in the oil space still have good yields and dividends.
    There may also be increased M & A activity in this space.

        Thanks Shad. I think everyone should start with James Turk’s presentation.

          Jun 27, 2015 27:58 AM

          Matthew – THANKS FOR YOU CONTINUED contributions to this site..I REALLY look forward to your input when the great BULL markets resumes for the PMs!

          Yes, James Turk always has interesting points. There really is a ton of content on those video/slide presentations. I’ve spent hours watching different updates and talks from their conference in April. The data is 2 months old, but most of the content is just a relevant now, and the company updates were very helpful.

    Gold stocks and NOT the price of gold lead the price out of a bear markets. There are several gold stocks (not the majors) leading the way out of this bear. It is TOO easy to be a bear on gold right now. There are also way too many gold/silver shorts out there and bearish sentiment is extremely high. I wouldn’t discount a rally in gold that fleeces the bears right here. Mr market tends to counter “conventional wisdom” and that “wisdom” says gold is going down. It feels like it is too easy of a call for that to actually happen. Sure, I could be wrong but I would exercise caution if I was trying to short this bear right here.

      Jun 27, 2015 27:42 AM

      I agree completely. Even most bulls will find themselves price-chasing. The COT report is now more bullish than it was when Adam Hamilton wrote this article that came out yesterday (given the price action since the report cutoff on Tuesday, it should have improved further still):

    Here is an excellent appraisal of where we are now regarding Greece – going to be an interesting 7 to 10 days on the markets.

      Jun 27, 2015 27:35 AM

      The problem is that the Greek promises, like the Trojan horse are all hollow.
      The Greek idea of increased austerity is increased taxes. The IMF realized that increasing tax rates in Greece merely results in more tax evasion, not increased income for the Government.
      I.e. The IMF continues to demand the only thing which might have a chance of working in the long run: reduced spending.
      Since the existing government came to power by promising not to reduce government spending, we have a stand-off
      If somehow Greece does not default on June 30, they can have their referendum, save face, and then default.
      Be very assured:
      Without IMF help they will default.
      The IMF will not get Greek gold.
      The reason they used a loop-hole earlier this month to not pay interest, is to keep as many assets as possible if/ when they default.

        I disagree to some extent with Paul Craig Roberts at King World News.

        He is right that Greece dropping out of NATO might stop WWIII, but he fails to understand Greece is attempting a solution closer to that of Ireland or even Iceland.
        Greece wants to stay in the Euro, to avoid possible hyperinflation, which would follow if they were forced to fall back to the drachma.
        Italy and Spain are not in the same ball-park as Greece.

          He is also wrong about increased centralization in the EU at this. Further attempts at that really would result in break-up of the Eurozone. England would immediately hold a refendum and drop out, taking other member states with it, including possibly Germany, which is sick and tired of carrying the EU disproportionately.

            On an educational, historical note: do you know why/how democracy was first started in Greece?
            It happened because in about 600 B.C. the Greeks discovered silver, which made them rich enough to throw off the Persians and develop one off the first great monetary systems in history.

    Jun 27, 2015 27:45 AM

    Craig Hemke is spot on with his assessment of how gold is being priced. The paper game certainly trumps the physical. I got a good chuckle from the comment, ” the price would go down if there was a lot of physical gold to hit the market “. Which he thinks won’t happen.
    However, it is going to happen. And it’s going to happen soon ,when these countries repatriate their gold holdings.
    I see a big pop coming in gold to around 1225 to 1235 taking out the short positions. Then the drop, which could be the phyz hitting the market.

        Some random pieces of information gleaned from the Greek press:
        Car sales have hit the largest rate in years, as Greeks seek to put their assets into real things.

        A recent opinion pole reports:
        80% of Greeks want to stay in the Eurozone.
        80% of Greeks reject austerity.

        My comment is that those two possibilities are highly incompatible.
        (Also that the opinion pole question-writer is stupid)
        I do understand is this era of selfish humans why the Greeks vote the way they do.
        I do not understand why no politicians ever try to balance their books anymore.

          Greece to hold refendum on July 5th, over austerity.

          However, opinion poles in Germany are reporting that Frau Merkel will lose office if ahe gives Greece another dime. (Actually another euro)

          Meanwhile in Socialist, Keynsian France, it is reported that they have still only had one balanced budget since deGaule died in 1970.
          They must have made a mistake back in 1974 and balanced their books that year!
          Actually France has partly survived on farming subsidies given by the EU. Why do you think the UK is contemplating leaving? They have been paying more than their “fair” share.
          Another example of failure of socialism/Marxism.
          incidentally employment in France has declined 80 months in a row.

      Both GLD and SLV charts look really good for a big pop come next week…

        Jun 27, 2015 27:53 AM

        Something to ponder and chew on here.

        You got hundreds of thousand if shorts on gold and silver. GLD and SLV both are going up next week. You don’t have to be an expert in TA to see it either.

        You got the COMEX that has very little physical gold and silver to cover. Gold goes up next week taking out the shorts. What if, gold has a big pop ( like it looks like will happen ) then does a big reversal and drops?

        You got the Shanghai exchange pricing physical. You got the bank of China setting the London fix. Right now it looks like we are in the 12th round a heavyweight fight between the Shanghai exchange and the COMEX. The comex is on the the ropes and the knockout blow could very well be ” this coming week “!

        That’s what it looks like to me anyways….

          Jun 27, 2015 27:01 AM

          In the game rock, paper, scissors. The comex is throwing out scissors and Shanghai is about to throw out ” the rock “!

    Turd mentions the possibility of unexpected gold coming to market.
    20-30 years ago this was the reason I got away from investing in gold, there always was somebody selling each time the price went up dropping the price.

    We havnt heard for awhile whats happening with the Indian temple gold, nothing saying it isn’t moving onto the market now.

    I bought yesterday, no problems, no shortages.
    Altho, this and the last time I bought the coins were 2015 with no other choice, normally there are options of dates.

      Jun 27, 2015 27:22 AM

      It made sense to sell gold into rallies back then since stocks were in a secular bull and there was real (net of inflation) economic growth. When risk is being well-rewarded, the safest assets do poorly.

          Are you discounting previous atrocities?

          My point Chartster is merely that the U.S. has never been “moral” and to suggest that it ever was is in itself immoral. The arrogance of discounting all the damage it has done is, well, they are just no words for it.

          Obviously there has been and are good people, but as a whole? as a nation?
          Well, good men are ashamed of their government I suppose.

        BB

        Please allow me to interject. You have asked WHEN the moral decay began. In my opinion, that is like asking when exactly the economy started falling apart — there are far too many things to consider to simply answer the question with one precise statement — IT HAPPENED AT EXACTLY 2:31:56 on December 3rd, 1966 on a sunny afternoon. Your question is ridiculous!!!

        It makes no difference how or when the moral condition of the country fall apart, all that matters is that it did. The world is a gong show due to many contributing factors … one of which is society choosing to live for SELF. You point the finger at genocide, slavery, repeated invasions, the creation of world wars, etc., but what you fail to mention is that NONE OF THE ABOVE is the result of biblical Christianity. In truth, almost all genocides came at the hands of occultists (e.g. Freemasons) and/or atheists (e.g. Chairman Mao). The slave trade and the KKK were also a product(s) of occultists (Albert Pike – head Freemason in America helped head up the KKK). Invasions? Again, not the result of Christianity … the Bush family belongs to Skull & Bones, Freemasonry, and many more occult societies. The same is true of world wars … do your homework … those involved on ALL sides were occultists and/or atheists (Hitler CLAIMED to be a Catholic but he was a hard core occultist from day one).

        Do not try to link the bloodshed to the loving Christian wagon my friend. At least do your homework or you risk sounding like an ignorant and angry person. I give you the benefit of the doubt … you are just ignorant, not angry.

        Before you bring up the gay marriage issue or any other SEEMINGLY Christian issue, please do your homework to see who is/was behind all of these movements!!!

          Jun 27, 2015 27:36 PM

          Bentnail, Im not trying to be silly, obviously there can be no definitive answer.
          HH states the nation has fallen apart morally, my question is to the point, it never was moral, how are we getting worse? Are we not better morally now than we were with genocide and slavery?
          The morals of the nation are improving, not getting worse.

          As an example, when Thomas Jefferson was president, a torturing raping pedophile that would not keep his word the best that could be found to lead? In the entire nation, he was the best that could be found?

          Society has improved, we are not morally decaying.

          Bentnail, “the loving Christian wagon” sure there are christians that love, but my point, as a nation, when did they ever display these attributes?
          Individuals, groups of some churches, sure.

          Watch Twelve years a Slave and tell me they were loving Christians.

          WE, as what many people believe is a “Christian” nation, just murdered 500 thousand children, are we loving now?
          At a minimum religion has nothing to do with any of it
          But as you will see should you watch the 12 yrs a slave, religion sure as heck was a tool for torture.

          My argument is merely that we are better morally today, than we ever have been.
          We are not degenerating as HH claims.
          As a matter of fact, IF a loving god were concerned, he/she would probably be happy with our improvements. Where morals are concerned anyway.

            Bentnail, just reread your post.
            I will grant I am ignorant of many things.

            But I disagree with morality “fell apart” in the U.S.
            It never was moral therefore morality could not “fall apart”, except maybe the war of independence.

            Im not saying there has not been a lot of good to come out of it, Im talking overall.

            First, thank you for your kind-hearted response … I really appreciate it.

            You raised the question: “Are we not better morally now than we were with genocide and slavery?” Unfortunately, I cannot answer the question UNTIL you provide me with a definition of the word “morally.” The term is very subjective at best … my version of morality may not be equal to your version … we first must arrive at an agreement on the term before I can give you an answer.

            For example, if by “morally better” you mean that the slaughter of 60,000,000 babies in the wombs of mothers since the Roe v Wade judgment is “morally better” than the slaughter of 60,000,000 innocent Chinese under Chairman Mao, I fail to see how that is any “better.”

            I have watched 12 years a Slave. In fact, I own it. First problem with the film … it’s a MOVIE that has been created by HOLLYWOOD. The same HOLLYWOOD that is busy attacking JESUS, THE BIBLE, and CHRISTIANITY at every turn. I can name 5000 films (if I had the time) that bash Christ and/or Christianity, but you cannot name ONE that attacks the Buddha/Buddhism, Joseph Smith/Mormonism, etc. It is not a huge shocker that Hollywood is extremely anti-Christian and there is a huge reason for that (read some books by leading New Age (occult) authors and you may start to understand why they are doing this). I can assure you that everything is NOT as it seems. Even the propaganda that has been broadcast by so-called patriots via the alternative media is rubbish … Whether it’s Alex Jones, David Icke, Russell Brand (and countless others). All you have to do is think outside of the box and you will start to see a pattern … once you notice it you simply have to figure out why such a pattern exists … I will leave it at that.

            Bentnail, you make some good points, guess I am arrogant in thinking I have an idea what “moral “means, I guess I only can say “as I see it”.
            So your right, we would first need to determine the meaning of moral.

            All I can say is I get my definition from what I believe is the correct way to treat people. Do unto others I guess.

            Slavery/genocide to me are the most immoral acts imaginable, the nation has moved past that,(at least here) therefore we are not less moral today but improving.
            We are better people today, than we have been in the past.
            That’s something to rejoice, not get all doom and gloom, we gonna die cause we so bad about.

            No argument to your other points, we have a ways to go yet.

            Thanks for the nice discussion … it has been a pleasure.

          Jun 27, 2015 27:53 PM

          Bentnail,
          I totally agree !

            Jun 27, 2015 27:22 PM

            Sorry guys but I must fill in the blanks.

            Apostasy in the church is a major moral decay and decline.

            The gays just received all their rights is major moral decay and decline.

            God rejecting and mocking of God society is major moral decay and decline.

            Here’s what comes after : Complete destruction desolation and annihilation upon
            the land.

            Answer : Seek God immediately and repent and pray before its too late.

            Jun 27, 2015 27:07 PM

            Nothing has really changed morally HH. Gay people have lived with one another since forever. Only now they will have the legal rights that married people once enjoyed. For example a fair division of assets should their relationships fail, the rights to claims on each others pensions and tax treatment similar to any other married couple which includes benefits that only heterosexual couples previously enjoyed where child benefits were concerned, So the law to accept Gay marriage is really a way to bring the current body of law to bear on that small percentage of the population that has until now been in a legal no-mans land. It should improve the rights of children who live in those households where schools and programs are concerned but also custody issues which were settled in the past to nobodies satisfaction and without the rights normally associated with marriage contract law. In short, this recent judgement is really all about economic issues and has little or nothing to do with sex or moral decay as you suggest.

            Jun 27, 2015 27:22 PM

            Nice response Bird. Shows how spiritually disconnected you are.

            When the law of the land supercedes Gods law, then it becomes
            blasphemy against God.

            Judgment has now been entered and the wrath of God will be
            complete destruction upon the land.

            Jun 27, 2015 27:48 PM

            Must also inform you that same sex marriages are an
            abomination to God.

            Mans law superceding Gods law is major sad moment
            in that nations future when it comes to gay rights in this
            regard.

            Major annihilation and destruction is now set in motion.

            The whole world is going down.

            Stick that in your library and watch what happens.

            Time is short and the clock is ticking. ..

        Just curious about something. You preach Christianity and yet you tell others to go to hell and stay there. Not sure if I’ve ever heard a true Christian talk like that before. I’m certainly not judging you my friend, but there is a reason why people the world over view Christianity in bad light … it is not always a result of Hollywood and other propaganda outlets … it is often because of poor behavior from those who claim to be Christians. Iron sharpens iron my friend … take this as a lesson in growth. Cheers!!!

          Jun 27, 2015 27:43 PM

          Bentnail, the same applies to you.

          gay relationships and corrupting

          children. ..

            That is a bizarre assumption … not sure how you came up with the wild conclusion that I support same sex gay (redundancy) relationships. Wow … you are a piece of work. My guess is that you are a paid provocateur whose job is to stir up anti-Christian sentiments on the web. As for you being a Christian … I highly doubt it!!! After all, your fruit appears to be rotten to the core (foul mouthed … cursing those who disagree with you to hell … overly presumptuous … and I am sure there is a lot more Mr. Provocateur … QUESTION: Do you enjoy your job at the agency? Surely they could have hired a more convincing shill.

            “You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.”

            He is a Troll Bentnail. Been saying that all year. Harassing people here is his full time hobby. He seems to thrive by stirring it up, getting people angry and distracting from the topics with Fire and Brimstone nonsense. Most other sites would have ended the charade long ago but his brand of nonsense continues to be tolerated here because he so often invokes in the name of Jesus and God. If it were up to me I would excommunicate the guy from the site and I would have done it many months ago.

            I’m not here to please you Bentnail. Corrupting the minds of children
            is an atrocity. Yes, I will get upset.

            YOU DAMN RIGHT I WILL. Everyone celebrates gay marriages our
            families now are really being corrupted.

            Sorry, just every once in awhile …..

            I mean no offence to anyone or their religion if anything I said was taken that way.

            Jun 27, 2015 27:52 PM

            Best to just ignore him bb. Talk about him but don’t respond to him directly or you just get dragged into a swamp of twisted thinking and freakish end-of-times ideas. Its pretty repetitive stuff he pumps out anyway. I hardly notice the garbage rhetoric anymore except today you gave him so much attention.

      Ok HH, when did the moral decay start? wasn’t slavery,genocide the years of government and religious sanctioned torture and pedophilia?
      Was it gay marrage?
      Answer if you can HH, quit sidestepping.

        Jun 27, 2015 27:12 PM

        Oh bb, ….you poor thing. Still want to remain
        blind.

        How many times do I need repeat myself.

        We are a God rejecting world now and removed
        God from our government.

        ETC. ETC. ETC. quit harassing me and wasting my
        time.

        You like hell, then go for it !!! Have fun. You made
        that choice. STOP the B.S. That’s what this is coming

          bb
          Jun 27, 2015 27:36 PM

          Again, no answer.
          Just to remind you, the U.S. was never intended to be any specific religion.

          Ever occur why you cant answer HH?
          The U.S. was NEVER a “moral” nation HH, an occasional act here and there maybe, but we are no less morally deficient today than we ever have been.
          As a matter of fact it can be argued that today we are more moral than we ever have been.
          We begin to accept responsibility for our pedophilia/torture of children, we no longer accept slavery. Even the stars and bars becomes unpopular.
          We are not breaking down with moral decay, we actually grow a conscience.
          We have a ways to go obviously, but we are improving, there is more moral hope now for our society than there ever has been.

          Your opinion comes from misguided beliefs and ignorance, it is you that needs “open your eyes” HH. You have surrounded yourself in a fog of delusion.

          This is why you cant answer my points and keep asking me to go away, you have a hard time facing it.

          Things may need to be dealt with, a police state comes to mind, but morally? we improve not degenerate.

            Jun 27, 2015 27:47 PM

            Knock yourself out. ..bb.

            Ha..Ha….you really are unconscious.

            So ignorant you have no idea all the
            false teachings in the church.

            I get the context of what you are saying, and agree.
            Not talking about HH but the whole moral and spiritual thing.
            It’s been going on forever and I do think as a people we are getting better, in that long term context.

            Jun 27, 2015 27:37 PM

            Sorry Chartster we are suffering terribly in moral decay.

            Society has decided to make up their own rules and tell
            God to go take a hike.

            This is going to end in complete destruction and disaster.

            Its already here and by year end people will be jumping
            out of their shoes from fear.

            Only that will be just the beginning of sorrows.

            Jun 27, 2015 27:44 PM

            Thank you Chartster, I really don’t articulate well. So Im happy you see my point.
            As morally better than we were, watch that Sparticus movie, psychopaths rule and torture is almost mandatory. Mankind improves I think. Not just the religious amongst us.
            Not to say we don’t still have a lot of sick puppies around. lol

            I shouldn’t, but sometimes I lose patience with HH and the “we all gonna die” cause his god says so.

            Jun 27, 2015 27:54 PM

            bb…by year end if America still exists you will
            be frightened just thinking what unfolds next.

            Time will tell. However, I can tell you now if you
            would only listen.

            Like I have said thats your decision. What you think
            and do does not affect me.

        Jun 27, 2015 27:06 PM

        Thank you gregd. To be honest I’m perplexed how
        I can continue in these efforts. I’m not a good person
        and we all fall very short but God keeps inspiring me
        to get the message out before destruction comes and
        its too late. That door is going to close soon and thats
        why I keep pushing the message.

        God help us all and may we all come into a relationship
        with him and escape the terrible things coming upon
        this world. As the bible says few will be spared because
        they refused the truth. That terrible day is almost here.

        May God speak to all our hearts before its too late.

          Jun 27, 2015 27:38 PM

          I don’t know what waits for me but I’m ready to accept it right now. Like you, I can see the Bible’s truths unfolding right before my eyes. I’m really flabbergasted that others don’t see it too. Its sad to watch this great Country change so fast and so wrong. I now see how a guy like Hitler got away with it. Keep up the good fight and best of luck to you.

            Jun 27, 2015 27:55 PM

            The bible says they won’t brother, so you need to get on with
            it and take care of business with God Our Lord.

            They are all or mostly being deceived and you must now reslize
            this is the end of this age and judgment is now here.

            Do not waver or get caught in this snare. God Bless and stay in
            Gods Word so you have the armor of God on.

            After ww 1 Berlin was the place to go for debauchery, the streets were not safe.
            Hitler “cleaned it up” 1933 I believe. The people loved him for it.

            The greatest story never told u tube.

            A lot of interesting tidbits about Hitler, like one of his personal friends, his driver, was a Jew.
            He blamed the Zionist for getting the americans involved in the first war, which today we know is true.
            The transfer agreement beginning in 1933 transported all Jews that wanted to, to move to Palistine. That went on until the Japanese attacked Pearl.
            He took the most devastated economy in the world to the most economically successful economy on earth in about 5 years, that includes creating the most technologically advanced nation on earth as well as other achievements.
            Interesting stuff actually.
            A lot of things not generally known.
            But it does make clear how the people grew to love him so much.

            Jun 28, 2015 28:06 PM

            I’ll take your word for it bb. You do completely ignore what he really did to his people also. You say he turned the country around in 5 years. Where did he get the money for that? Do you think he stole the money and medals from the banks? Perhaps that’s why he chose the Jews , because they had the money and medals. And then he took his act to the other Countries. I don’t believe he built anything , he was not economically successful , he stole it.

            I wasn’t ignoring anything.
            Merely saying there is lots we are not generally told.
            Why people loved him so much and he commanded so much loyalty for so long.
            Ever see the films? His crowds are bigger than the popes
            , women break out in tears as he walks by, its amazing really.
            That didn’t happen again until the Beatles came along.

            But Im not ignoring anything, just saying there is lots most were not aware of.

    I’m beginning to understand why the TPP was passed in secret.

    I’ informed by a Midwestern politician who had access to the bill that it contains new copyright laws.
    Furthermore, it appears to give the government new powers for copyright violations.
    e.g. If a website illegally publishes copyright material, the government will have power of seizure of all assets, WITHOUT TRIAL. I.e. The computers can be seized first, and the website owner would have to go to court to seek the computers back.
    I.e. Similar treatment to a drug smuggler.
    That is scary.
    And the TPP is going to remain classified for 4 years!
    How on earth is the general public supposed to know what the law is?

    Jun 27, 2015 27:51 PM

    Like Nancy Poluzer said, we need to pass it to find out what’s in it.

    I really do think that they are testing the American people to see just how stupid they really are ( and they are ). There will be a breaking point and even the brainwashed are going to snap out of it.

    Any American that thinks congress is doing good for the people at this stage is, a glob, a blob, a mindless nothing bloop.
    There will be a revolution soon, based on the fact that the American people are getting the shaft daily. The BS 113th congress is the last if it’s sorts! They’ve gone wY too far! Watch and see!

      There will be a revolution soon, based on the fact that the American people are getting the shaft daily.

      You think so? I hope so but I sure don’t think so.

      The Amerikan people are sheep and will do what they are told by their rulers. They will waive their little flags and elect Killary or Jebby as their next dictator.

      Most are too ignorant to even know they are being shafted. You see the public youth indoctrination camps….er… I mean public schools are a roaring success. In the state I live in most tax increase and bond ballot measures pass. And voters voted down a measure to repeal Ahnode Schwarteneggers cap-n-trade scam.

        12 months AT THE VERY MOST or 24 months MAX.

        Now THAT is funny … you are a confused man indeed!!!

          Jun 27, 2015 27:48 PM

          Its range from maybe the most to the maximum.

          That’s confused ??? 12 -24….what so puzzling.

            Jun 27, 2015 27:02 PM

            HH

            What is confusing is the fact that the phrase “AT THE VERY MOST” is exactly the same as the word “MAXIMUM.” In other words, you are saying that it will be 12 months maximum (meaning not any longer than 12 months) … BUT … you then proceed to contradict yourself by saying it is 24 months maximum. If it is 12 months maximum, then is cannot be 13 months, 14 months, 15 months … or 24 months.

    Jun 27, 2015 27:48 PM

    Most of the comments this weekend… wholly shit.

      Jun 27, 2015 27:37 PM

      Pretty crazy. I agree. I was reluctant to post at all this morning.

      But how about this instead Matthew……you have probably already read that the Troika led by Frau Merkel will attempt to ram through a last minute deal with Greece that MUST be completed BEFORE Monday morning according to her schedule.

      David Stockman wrote an epic rant related to those comments that is a must-read if you had not already seen it. In it he demands to know what business it is of Merkel to do anything at all according to market hours and why is it she is concerned with what the investment world reaction to Greece might be. I will link that below. It is Stockman on steroids.

      Anyway, getting back to my post…..as you know it has long been my contention that what is taking place between Greece, Germany and the rest of Europe is no less than the Third World War but this time it is purely power, politics and economics this time. No guns or cannon are involved yet it is no less a war than any other with Germany at the helm and the future of its domination of the continents nations and people are the stakes.

      So tomorrow, Sunday the 28th of June must be a pretty important date. Mrs Merkel has said so and in effect drawn a line in the sand. A resolution must therefore be achieved on that precise date.

      But does it matter?

      You bet. Students of history know that is none other than the day 101 years ago when the Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie were murdered in Sarajevo, touching off the events that triggered the First World War and causing Germany to declare war on its neighbors.

      And since this current dispute is little less than an obvious attempt to destroy a socialist revival in Europe (AKA…those elected by the people on behalf of the people who lean against business, banking and higher authority of those currently in power) it seems fitting that Sundays last ditch attempt at resolution will end not in defeat of the Troika agenda but rather in the eventual ouster of Syriza itself along with its philosophy that favours its people over the demands from the financial world.

      It is therefore a symbolic assassination taking place but this time the target is idealism itself buttressed by the champions of fairness and equity who seek to achieve independence from the burdens of creditors under the shroud of Democracy.

      And it is an event intended to precipitate a win that will finally go in Germany’s favour. All Syriza needs do is refuse to sign and the deal is done if the Greek public refuse to give majority support to Tsipras rejection of the Troika demands in the upcoming referendum. In any event, Syriza and its leaders will wear the blame for whatever comes next for Greece and at this point it looks like they will lose even if they win.

      And that’s the lesson for all the other socialist upstarts who want to tangle with the real powers behind the throne. Don’t they know what they are up against yet?

        Jun 28, 2015 28:49 AM

        Howdy Bird,

        Dave Stockman does write some interesting stuff. But at the end of the day the Greek issue is far less complicated than talking heads make it out to be. The Euro Oligarchs want what the North American Oligarchs (US) want. Control, Power and Dominance over populations and land masses that is so wide-spread and profound it cannot be removed or shackled by any population.

        Everyone here knows Greece’s short and long-term reality is a debt servicing issue that under even the most optimistic prognostications will never be rectified. Greece will always be a nation that will try to live outside its means and run massive debts if allowed to remain in the EU or if they leave and reprint the Drachma.

        I know you know this but its all about the superficial debt service and the Socialist State Construct that they want to keep in place come hell or high water. The ramifications of Greece leaving the European Union is what terrifies the Euro Marxist Oligarchs so profoundly.

        A Greek exit for debt issues, although real and troublesome is the dangling misdirection carrot that the public at large is fed as the excuse. But the real 800 pound gorilla in the room that no one dare discuss is the set-back in time and years a Greek exit would inflict on the Orwellian One World Government project that in-fact started with this Euro project.

        Really this is about the clash of civilizations and the ultimate Marxist overlord construct transiting to the next stage of development. It pits the anointed ones who have deemed themselves the rulers of men and gods of the universe, against the common folks ability to every control their own future destiny. The debt is just a side show.

        V

          Jun 28, 2015 28:13 AM

          I agree with some of what you are saying. In fact you are correct that central powers want to reign in Greek spending and enforce that with disciplines. They are overplaying their cards though and pushing a little too hard while showing pretty much zero tolerance and flexibility. Who would not get their back up? I don’t know why they even bother using the word “negotiations” anymore since its anything but. Why even bother with that silly pretense when it is now clear that from the outset the central powers were unwilling to back down on even a single demand. Lets call it what it really is; a dictatorial approach that brokers no discussion or deviation. If the approach had been a little more collegial then the Greeks may have signed on given that more cooperation would lead them to believe they also had a win. Instead they got backed into a corner and left with no good options. I am tending to side with those who assert the Troika does not much care if Greece defaults since its the message that matters most. They are intractable.

        Jun 28, 2015 28:55 AM

        That was an interesting and scathing editorial from David Stockman. Thanks for posting it Birdman.

    SHIT! There I’ve said it for you bb, Matthew and any others who’ve got pissed off with HH. I have a love/hate relationship with this guy, bentnail and their like. But HH you simply CANNOT go on acting like God. You know ZERO of other peoples’ spiritual destiny. God knows I have enough trouble worrying about my own spiritual state, without clambering all over where others are at.
    As for all this talk of end times and ‘rapture’, you who think you know know nothing – FACT!!
    Of course the times we live in are perilous, and it’s obvious the U.S. is becoming a fascist country. Lies prevail everywhere as they do in Britain. Try helping a guy doing a 26 year sentence for a crime he didn’t commit, and he’s far from alone. The system will only advance the cause of someone who admits their guilt…give them more privileges on the inside, while hastening their parole date, etc. But, no if you say you’re innocent (and notwithstanding the evidence there to prove it) you’re toast. Orwell had got it so right, and Biblical ‘prophecy’ does indeed allude to times when speaking the truth becomes treasonable. But it was as true during the Roman era as it is during our own. Nor do any of us of us knows where this Greek thing will end up. Maybe they will do a Grexit and/or by doing a deal with Russia put the kibosh on NATO and thus America’s stranglehold over Europe. That might also just put an end to this WW 3 that HH keeps telling us is inevitable.
    HH you remind me of Birdman. sometimes you’re contrite (in a way), at others you’re completely OTT. At least BM hasn’t got religion!!
    I agree with Matthew that this weekend’s site has gone totally manic. Furthermore, this does a grave disservice to Al and Cory in their gallant efforts to provide a succession of programmes with their excellent guests.

    ………SHIT!

        You bet. Get away from the accuser like you Bird.

        And false prophets, believers and the heathen
        here that condone same sex marriage.

        All abominations against God and the worst
        part is corrupting the minds of our children
        and grand children.

      Jun 28, 2015 28:34 AM

      Believe me, it would be a great idea and extend it indefinitely.

      If same sex marriage is no big deal corrupting all our children’s
      and grand children’s minds because this is what the argument
      by me was opposing this Supreme Court decision promoting
      this lifestyle to children as that’s how this is going to transpire

      Now that its legal they will really be promoting this abomination
      against God in the schools etc. etc. poisoning and corrupting
      children’s minds.

      That lifestyle leads to eternal damnation. Not only that it leads
      to total destruction upon the land passing laws like this as God
      will pour out his wrath.

      If this is no big deal anyone who thinks so is a very sick person.

      Anyone here that condones this is nothing but a heathen.

      Includes all the corrupt criminals in public offices and otherwise.

      THIS IS AN ABOMINATION AND ATROCITY. Gods wrath will be poured out.

      I don’t want to have anything to do with people that are not upset.

      I will lose you, you don’t have to lose me. Its disgusting this new law.

      Its also going to lead to war in the streets. Actually much much worse.

      ANNIHILATION !!!!

        Jun 28, 2015 28:02 AM

        The truth hurts but just wait till Gods wrath is
        poured out with the great pain and physical
        suffering.

        This is what people asked for removing God
        from government and out of their lives.

        Now they pass laws that defies God and is
        out right blasphemy.

        This sin that God detests all civilization’s were
        destroyed and annihilated by God when man
        rebelled like this.

        To further it, childrens minds will be corrupted
        as they promote this sick evil sin. Like I said.

        We can expect compete destruction. Anyone
        who disagrees just has no knowledge of who
        God is. This will not be tolerated. God will not
        always strive with man. Not with these abominations
        taking place.

    Right now in this day in time is probably the most important and certainly the most fascinating I’ve ever seen. I actually know for certain the currencies are going to some type of gold standard. The writing is on the wall. It’s really a traders dream come true to actually have fundamentals and the charts!! Yes, when the currencies go gold or asset backed the world goes back to the fundamentals. It’s very exciting stuff! The next few weeks are going to be crazy, crazy good!

    On June 28, 2015 at 3:20 am,
    Shad says:
    I am almost ready to give up on posting on this site because I’m here for investing ideas in commodities, energy, bonds, and the general markets.

    I agree with you, the comments destroy the benefits.
    We talked about this awhile back. The issue is HH has support due to using Jesus/god in posts. From Al as well I believe.
    For my part I apologise.

    I believe Birdman is correct, the intent is to vandalize.

    Andrew, I have a friend that spent 6 years in jail unjustly. He is out now these past 2 years.
    Without going into the particulars about it, I would just like to say, you may not know just how much you mean to him, even when he tells you.
    I have an “inkling” of what you go thru.
    Strength and honour Andrew.
    And as he says ” Its a great life if you don’t weaken”

      Jun 28, 2015 28:49 AM

      Shad, your wrong. Its not to vandalize.

      The atheists and agnostic people cannot
      get away with defiling Gods Word.

      This is why our nation is going down the
      rat holes.

      I will defend the position that this wicked
      evil abominations taking place is leading
      us over the cliff to our demise.

      We discussed this a few weeks ago. Anything
      that affects our lives and mode of living we are
      allowed to comment on.

        Jun 28, 2015 28:05 PM

        HH I never said it was to vandalize those are bb’s coments. He should have used quotes because the only thing I said above was:

        “I am almost ready to give up on posting on this site because I’m here for investing ideas in commodities, energy, bonds, and the general markets.”

        If you want the rest of my thoughts, I typed a big response to Big Al up above, and was not just focused on your comments. I would include many posters comments in my discussion up above.

          Jun 28, 2015 28:19 PM

          Maybe understand Shad that our nation
          just crossed a major milestone and the
          reason for the disruption was not deliberate.

          So maybe bear with it this time. I never intended
          that the attacks would be so intense.

          Anyway, please understand. Our nation is in very
          serious trouble. Everyone, believe what they want.

          I’m just stating the obvious and defending Gods
          sacredness of devine institution of marriage.

          Our children and grand children will be poisoned
          and corrupted by this.

          This should greatly concerm people.

            Jun 28, 2015 28:30 PM

            HH I respect you as person, respect your right to have an opinion, and really like your sense of humor. I am just a fan of keeping the blog more focused on commodities, energy, and macro overview of the general markets, bond, and the currency markets on this site. There are other websites that cater to Politics and Religious viewpoints that are better suited for those kinds of discussions.

            Hey that is just my personal opinion though, and I respect your right to say whatever you feel is appropriate sir.

            Jun 28, 2015 28:37 PM

            Shad, the same to you as well.

            We discussed this weeks ago and someone
            will always be making mountains out of mole
            hills.

            Believe me Shad if I had of known, I would have
            refrained from posting.

            Too late. Once a thread is started and Gods Word
            gets defiled I must defend all my comments.

            Right now I will not be posting next week. Unless
            they continue to harrass me and defile Gods Word.

            I will not allow it !!!!!

          Jun 28, 2015 28:54 PM

          I don’t have to guess Andrew. You are a individual
          who is not opposed to same sex relationships and
          marriage. Futher poisoning and corrupting the minds
          of our children and grand children.

          That leads to the path of eternal destruction and
          damnation. Maintaining these lifestyles results in
          hell for eternity.

          Maybe, I don’t have to guess that you believe there
          is no hell.

          Nice Reverend, if that’s what your doing leading
          everyone to the pitts of hell.

      Jun 28, 2015 28:23 PM

      BB – Thanks for the response, but I want to make it clear to anyone reading this that I’m not picking sides.

      I’m not saying Birdman is right and HH is wrong, because the very claim Birdman is stating up above is the very thing he did to many other posters earlier this year.

      On June 28, 2015 at 3:39 am,
      Birdman says:

      “…All I really object to is crazy people hijacking the threads and spewing emotional crap at everyone who comes near them.”

      Go re-read the posts from January – April of this year and see if that comment isn’t ironic. Personally I like both HH and Birdman, but they’ve rubbed many people the wrong way that never came back. Again, I’ve never had a problem with either one of them. I actually got a kick out of Franky, but again, his posts got people all worked up in a similar manner. Honestly I think most of the heavy posters on here has upset somebody on some day or another or scrapped with other bloggers: James the lesser, Matthew, Chartster, Confused, CFS, Frank from Moscow, Original JJ, Bill, Glenfidish, Agatha, Irwin, Andrew, Matt, BB, LPG, Vortex, Stewie, Jason, Brian, Dan, Lawrence, Paul, Ebolan, Dick Tracy, Silver Dollar, Bill from Tokyo, Bob UK, Irishtony, Bob Moriarty, etc….. Everyone on here, me included, has been cranky one day or another, or become overly worked up. It is just blog after all, but we all take it a bit too serious sometimes. We’re all human.

      I love all the posters on this blog, but we all do best when we are working together to share good information in the spirit of helping refine our investment ideas. When it gets personal, when people start name calling, or crapping all over the content someone else shares, or tearing down any expert that someone brings up to share, then people that have good investing ideas leave and take their information and experience with them.

      I just wish we could share ideas on investing and leave out all the political and religious commentary. There are other websites for that kind of stuff.

        Jun 28, 2015 28:56 PM

        HH I guess I’m someone who can sort of stand upto you. for you that’s the scary bit ‘cos I see you as guy full of fear rather than full of holy spirituality. Almost for sure you’ve been listening to too many so-called experts, who cannot see the size of their monumental egos. Blind guides proliferate in every age, and for those with eyes to see they become recognisable through their conceits and certitude.

            BTW…I read the bible. That’s all I have been recommending.

            I don’t listen to man. Man twists the truth like you do..Andrew.

            I have never read anything here you posted from the bible.

            Its all about wealth and gold commentary.

            You have little or no fruits. Its all mostly comments in lust with the world.

            Judge yourself first. .Andrew.

            Your gold will not deliver you. Keep running from the truth.

            Jun 28, 2015 28:41 PM

            How many pages are still left in your bible..Andrew ???

            I know you criticize and denounce or completely omit
            anything to do with bible prophecy and Gods prophetic
            warnings.

            I must warn you. You walk in darkness through this
            behavior.

        Jun 28, 2015 28:58 PM

    Think you are having a bad day?

    Fire authorities in California found a corpse in a burned-out section of forest while assessing the damage done by a forest fire. The deceased male was dressed in a full wet suit, complete with scuba tanks on his back, flippers, and face mask.

    A post-mortem test revealed that the man died not from burns, but from massive internal injuries. Dental records provided a positive identification. Investigators then set about to determine how a fully clothed diver ended up in the middle of a forest fire.

    It was revealed that on the day of the fire, the man went diving off the coast, some 20 miles from the forest. The fire fighters, seeking to control the fire as quickly as possible, had called in a fleet of helicopters with very large dip buckets. Water was dipped from the ocean and emptied at the site of the forest fire.

    You guessed it. One minute our diver was making like Flipper in the Pacific, the next, he was doing the breast stroke in a fire dip bucket 300 feet in the air.

    Some days it just doesn’t pay to get out of bed. But keep reading….

    Still think you’re having a bad day?

    A man was working on his motorcycle on the patio, his wife nearby in the kitchen. While racing the engine, the motorcycle accidentally slipped into gear. The man, still holding onto the handlebars, was dragged along as it burst through the glass patio doors.

    His wife, hearing the crash, ran in the room to find her husband cut and bleeding, the motorcycle, and the shattered patio door. She called for an ambulance and, because the house sat on a fairly large hill, went down the several flights of stairs to meet the paramedics and escort them to her husband.

    While the attendants were loading her husband, the wife managed to right the motorcycle and push it outside. She also quickly blotted up the spilled gasoline with some paper towels and tossed them into the toilet.

    After being treated and released, the man returned home, looked at the shattered patio door and the damage done to his motorcycle. He went into the bathroom and consoled himself with a cigarette while attending to his business. About to stand, he flipped the butt between his legs.

    The wife, who was in the kitchen, heard a loud explosion and her husband screaming. Finding him lying on the bathroom floor with his trousers blown away and burns on his buttocks, legs and groin, she once again phoned for an ambulance.. The same paramedic crew was dispatched.

    As the paramedics carried the man down the stairs to the ambulance they asked the wife how he had come to burn himself. She told them. They started laughing so hard, one slipped, the stretcher dumping the husband out. He fell down the remaining stairs, breaking his arm.

    Still having a bad day ?

    Just remember, it could be worse..

    The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska was $80,000. At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively saved animals were being released back into the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers. A minute later, in full view, a killer whale ate them both.

    Still think you are ha ving a bad day ?

    A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen shaking frantically, almost in a dancing frenzy, with some kind of wire running from his waist towards the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the deadly current, she whacked him with a handy plank of wood, breaking his arm in two places. Up to that moment, he had been happily listening to his Walkman.

    STILL think you’re havi ng a bad day ?

    Two animal rights protesters were protesting at the cruelty of sending pigs to a slaughterhouse in Bonn, Germany. Suddenly, all two thousand pigs broke loose and escaped through a broken fence, stampeding madly. The two hapless protesters were trampled to death.

    What ?! STILL having a bad day ??

    Iraqi terrorist Khay Rahnajet didn’t pay enough postage on a letter bomb. It came back with ‘return to sender’ stamped on it. Forgetting it was the bomb, he opened it and was blown to bits.

    There now, feeling better?

    Silver Doc and zero hedge are saying Greek markets will be closed Monday.
    They wonder if bail ins have begun.

    I think if the Greek markets can close, the same thing could happen here.
    Not now of course, but if we had a similar debt event.

    This is a risk of having anything in the market, crazy maybe, but I think there is a possibility of losing 100%. Have for a long time actually. Possible some brokers shut done too, and not the entire market. Throw in a little capital control and we could be restricted in the amount allowed for withdraw. What difference it make how much we had if only allowed $200 a day?

    Geez, this is a good time for diversification.

      Jun 28, 2015 28:27 PM

      BB,

      That’s why having highly valuable paid off internationalized hard assets in various forms with zero debt feels so good. The feeling of waking up everyday knowing you took action to better your lott in life is incredibly empowering and supremely rewarding in many more way than just monetarily.

      There is no panacea in life or investments/assets anywhere in any area of the world that will provide 100% protection. But there damn sure are ways to help mitigate some of the destructive effects that will play out and that are unfolding today.

      I live in a certifiable, unquestionable third world s**thole in Asia and I feel, and actually am, in real terms far wealthier, far safer and am actually far freer than I ever felt or was while living in the US gulag of perpetual serfdom.

      You could plug-in any number of Western Nation State names and it would apply equally. Their all now completely bloated Socialist enclaves, over-taxed, over-regulated, bankrupt, over-immigrated and both politically and financially dysfunctional with criminality coursing through every vein in the system from the top politician all the way the lowest man on the street.

      Most of the people sitting around bitching about their life and the world in general, although there are many problems for sure, are simply people that never got off their lazy ass to change anything in it for the better. Why, because making excuses for life’s ill’s is far easier from an effort stand point than real product action.

        Jun 28, 2015 28:43 PM

        Man, I can relate to your comments Vortex. Don’t know what country you live in but if its anything like mine its a daily challenge to cope with. And yet it is far better on almost every level despite the deficiencies, shortages. The West has gotten to be so anal. Everyone is being pandered too such that the place is now unlivable for everyone.

          Jun 28, 2015 28:48 PM

          And sorry to say it but its because of the Shad’s in the world who keep trying to remake everything they come across in their own image that got us into this mess. Why the hell is it that every single crease in the sheets needs to be ironed flat anyway? There is zero tolerance for EVERYTHING these days. No room for anything different. Comb your hair as I command or its jail for you, my friend!!!

            Jun 29, 2015 29:48 AM

            Thanks for the personal attack Birdman. You are only making the case above for me.

            Jun 29, 2015 29:05 AM

            People like you are actually the problem. You need to loosen up and relax a little. Ever thought of joining a political party? You might fit right in. Just guessing of course but you seem the type.

      You enjoy the exploitation of trouble.

    Jun 28, 2015 28:21 PM

    Why do you give HH such a hard time? He said he’s trying to get the word out. He can’t do that at church because they already know. So he goes to where there are a lot of very smart people in certain areas and he tries to help. I guarantee all you people ask for help from GOD when your stocks crash or when you or someone in your family is very sick, but you only want to hear from him, or about him, when you need him.
    Hypocrite’s.
    Stop whining and skip to the next comment.

      Chartster,

      Even when reading all of that scary stuff, there is still things we can do as individuals to build our life raft for stormy seas.

      Case in point: Bitgold just became available for us American serfs to participate in. Our political overlords found a way to tax the serf’s and keep them in the system, so now its OK.

      What did I do? With in five minutes I had opened an account with Bitgold and made my first gold grams purchase. I’ve further internationalized more of my valuable hard assets and made my life raft even stronger even though I remain in the system I don’t like, I acknowledge my limitations.

      Life doesn’t just happen, you make it happen by taking action. And I’ll bet your one of those people.

      V

        Jun 28, 2015 28:22 PM

        Vortex,
        I’m glad you brought up Bitgold. I had no clue we could buy it here in the states. I will certainly check it out. I bought VIX,DWTI and DXD Wednesday morning. It looks to have been the right choice. I was a bit concerned about crude going up on me tonight, but I think I’m all good. I’m very excited about these markets, but concerned about the country.

        I am taking action my friend. Thank you for the kind words(-;

          Jun 28, 2015 28:42 PM

          Chartster,

          It’s amazing how easy it is to sign up. I’m a little disappointed that Americans don’t have all of the options yet. We still can’t transfer our gold for payments or have someone else transfer their gold to us from their Bitgold account as payment.

          Hopefully this area won’t take too long to get approved.

          I also think your going to do really well with the VIX. The volatility going forward is going to be off the charts. Oil is a roll of the dice to me. There’s just no way to get a firm trend with the Greece issue and bank closures happening.

          The additional derivative counter party insolvency risk generated by Greece is also a dicey issue confronting the markets to say the least. Be safe!

          Take Care

          V

            Jun 28, 2015 28:01 PM

            Vortex,
            The thing about Bitgold and anything PM related, is that IMO gold is going to go down for the next few months. I think gold is going up right here, but it will reverse and go down. So anything PM related I just have to wait a bit more.

            When the bottom is in, I hope to have my ducks in a row to purchase the right stuff. The discussions that Shad, Matthew and others have had about mining stocks is what we certainly need to continue moving towards the bottom of gold.

            Take care

            Jun 28, 2015 28:17 PM

            Yes, I agree. We are going to have some great opportunities in physical gold/silver and the miners going forward.

            Honestly, I’m not waiting or fretting over a PM down draft. 3-5 years from today none of this price action will matter because the phyz and the miners are very likely going to be orders of magnitude higher in value than today.

            But I’m like you, I always love a good deal and when things I want to own are on sale.

    Jun 28, 2015 28:47 PM

    Since 2007, I’ve never seen any countries debt go down.

      Chartster, think I mentioned the other day Bitgold has begun to move. It increased about 25% in 2 days.
      It began with the news americans can use it. Maybe americans have more interest in gold than we knew?
      As V says, it has its uses, I love the option of locations for storing gold.

        Jun 28, 2015 28:14 PM

        bb,
        I certainly need to check it out. I didn’t realize the different storage options. My gut tells me to wait until early fall or late summer. I’m just glad we can buy it now!

        Thanks for letting me know.

    Here’s an actual snippet about markets, I was bullish on the stock market last year and absolutely laughed my butt off at the crash call and a boom for gold….Nothing has changed. Commodities don’t have a hope in H E double hockey sticks::
    With a forward P/E multiple of almost 18x, the US stock market might seem high by historical standards. While many think that this valuation
    implies that the US market is near a peak, we are not so sure. The current low interest rate environment is an important positive factor to
    consider. We believe that as long as the economic situation remains stable and no crises develop, the US stock market could trade at even
    higher multiples. Remember the US market in 2000, or the Japanese market in 1989?
    We expect Emerging Market indices to underperform the US stock market going forward. Emerging markets are currently facing a triple
    whammy: 1) weak commodity prices, 2) large amounts of US debt – according to some estimates, they owe almost $9 trillion in US dollar denominated debt, 3) significant monetary outflows – over the past 12 months there has been close to $1 trillion in outflows from Emerging Markets.
    Based on this view, we continue to look for US stocks to own and we remain short several Emerging Market ETFs.

          Hell you maybe right about the end. The earth is dying and fast. Why sit here day after day yaking and gambling. How the hell do you know about my relationship with the creator. II’ve got more compassion for animals then humans. Many humans are so ignorant it’s not ever funny.

          Jun 28, 2015 28:17 PM

          Ya you are a real man of God. I’m going to see my cat. She much more intelligent.
          Drop your email and I’ll drop my address and we can have a face to face.

            Jun 28, 2015 28:25 PM

            I never claimed to be a man of God.

            I have just been telling you whats coming.

            Your head is always planted in the sand
            and you refuse to acknowledge the serious-
            ness of the current events.

            YOUR A BRAIN DEAD INDIVIDUAL !!!!!

            Jun 28, 2015 28:29 PM

            BTW…its not about loving animals.

            So you love Christ Jesus and do you
            appreciate what he did at Calvary
            dying for all our sins.

            THATS WHATS IMPORTANT.

            He’s our creator. Man…wake up !!!!

            Jun 28, 2015 28:10 PM

            Face to face at the boxing club. …Bill..the no brainer

            See how much hot air is left in ya !!!!!

            All you know how to do is run that big stupid mouth of yours.

            See what it looks like after a few rounds in the club.. LOL 🙂 LOL

    Life is a continuous karma account.
    “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

      Jun 28, 2015 28:25 PM

      Reject God and you will find yourself in hell for eternity.

      DO YOU UNDEESTAND THAT !!!! You better.

      Jun 29, 2015 29:02 AM

      PROBLEM……….WE are not under the LAW……for no man can fulfill the LAW…..

        Jun 29, 2015 29:44 PM

        Rejecting God and our savior Christ Jesus
        is the unforgivable sin.

        Your sins are not covered. Therefore you
        have sentenced yourself to…HELL !!!!!!!!!

          Jun 29, 2015 29:48 PM

          hope that was not for me……………..

            Jun 29, 2015 29:58 PM

            Its for anyone who believes that
            rejecting God is not a unforgivable
            sin. Unless that person was converted
            prior to death.

          Jun 29, 2015 29:55 PM

          BTW…Now that gay marriage is law all our
          children and grand children minds will be
          poisoned and corrupted.

          This is significant. Now they will be really
          promoting this lifesyle in the schools etc.

          This leads to eternal damnation and hell
          this lifestyle.

          Its prophetic and Gods judgment is now here.

          COMPLETE DESTRUCTION AND ANNIHILATION !!!!

            Jun 29, 2015 29:08 PM

            Better find a good home school………

            Jun 29, 2015 29:09 PM

            GOTS………….

            Jun 29, 2015 29:09 PM

            GET OUT OF THE SYSTEM……….and that is just not banking………

            Jun 29, 2015 29:12 PM

            Most adults have thrown the kids under the bus, to get the MCMANIONS…….

            Jun 29, 2015 29:14 PM

            No…too late.

            Gods prophetic judgment is here.

            Believing anything else is just total
            ignorance or Lack of knowledge.

            Jun 29, 2015 29:16 PM

            The saints need to get ready.

            ALL HELL IS NOW GOING TO BREAK LOOSE.

            Get ready.

            Jun 29, 2015 29:32 PM

            Having the full armor of God on
            and knowing Gods Word…its

            very easy to spot false teachers,
            believers and prophets including
            pastors or reverends.

            Its absolutely in a abundance out
            there and one more major sign
            Gods judgment is here.

            I want no part of it. Keep the apostasy
            and false doctrines.

            DOCTRINES OF DEMONS and they are

            ON THEIR WAY TO HELL WITH IT !!!!!

            Gods judgment is here !!!!!

            Seeking the world and now gay lifestyles
            to our children and grand children.

            ALL COMING TO A VERY BITTER END.

            enjoy it !!!!!!

            Jun 29, 2015 29:50 PM

            I can not disagree with you on many points.

            Jun 29, 2015 29:51 PM

            Seeking the world and living a lie
            thinking you have God.

            What you do have is your father..satan.

            That’s who you are listening too.

            Living for the world !! Souls are in
            great peril. One better be on their
            knees repenting and praying.

            Jun 29, 2015 29:53 PM

            This is the truth. Its all in the bible.

            Prepare for total destruction very soon.

            Jun 29, 2015 29:55 PM

            good advice ……….

            Jun 29, 2015 29:02 PM

            God Bless and we need to
            focus on Jesus.

            Its all going to be destroyed.

            Peace be with you. Its going to get ugly..

            REAL UGLY….No doubt in my mind.

            Jun 29, 2015 29:10 PM

            again, I have to agree with you……it is going to be ugly……

            Jun 29, 2015 29:12 PM

            Yep, and tune out the mockers and scoffers.

            AND GET READY… That’s what I’m doing.

            This ship is going down..Jerry.

            No use thinking about it anymore.

            This worlds fate is sealed.

            America goes and the rest goes with it.

            THAT DAY IS HERE.

            Some just do not understand what a great job you have done…………

            Jun 29, 2015 29:17 PM

            Just a dirty rag here. Thank you and
            many appreciations. You are a very
            kind soul.

            Lets make it to the finish line.

            We must now stay focused on Jesus.

            God Bless you brother Jerry. 🙂

            You said it too. This is not an easy job
            spreading the truth and Gods Word.

            We know many will perish.

    “There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores. The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried, and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. …

      Jun 28, 2015 28:28 PM

      Its the man who idols wealth who’s soul is in peril.

      You reject God…your going to hell no matter what .

      Up until the time you have passed on. WAKE UP !!!

    Jun 28, 2015 28:27 PM

    HH,
    Have you ever heard that old expression,, ” if ya ain’t got nothin good to say, don’t talk “. I’m thinking it would apply right about now!

      Jun 28, 2015 28:31 PM

      Chartster, these heathens will not get away with scoffing
      and mocking.

      Rejecting God comes with an eternal price to pay.

      THATS THE MESSAGE !!! Time is short

      Jun 28, 2015 28:19 PM

      Yes he’s making himself into the greatest fool. WOW

        Jun 28, 2015 28:32 PM

        Its you Bill……thats a fool in his heart
        believes there is no God.

        You reject Our Lord God and you will
        perish for eternity. If you continue in
        this foolishness.

    Jun 28, 2015 28:34 PM

    It’s an investment forum,HH.
    Damning others isn’t really welcome.
    Christ was a Bhuddist,anyways.

      Jun 28, 2015 28:37 PM

      Every recommendation I made is a winner
      except for one in over 6 months.

      You reject God you are on your way to hell.

      GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD !!!

        Jun 28, 2015 28:40 PM

        Christ was not a buddah…

        He’s our Great and Holy Savior.

        I resent that and I rebuke you in the
        name of The Lord.

    Our children and grand children now going
    to be influenced and taught gay lifestyles
    and same sex marriage is acceptable.

    ITS NOT ACCEPTABLE… and you people don’t
    give a damn.

    War is coming to the streets. WAKE UP !!!!

        I would like it more if I travelled.

    Jun 28, 2015 28:23 PM

    HH – I stand with you as the Bible says: Luke 18:8 – I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

    Luke 17:26 – “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man.

    God doesn’t condemn, he saves but people of wealthy nations/empires end up condemning themselves.

      Jun 28, 2015 28:30 PM

      God Bless you Samaki.

      May The Lord speak to all of our hearts.

      Judgment is here. We will see it in the
      months ahead. Thats if America lasts
      that long.

      We have entered a critical time in history.

      Great destruction will come upon the land

    Not a good idea to have all gold in the same shoebox.

    Jun 28, 2015 28:01 PM

    Dow futures recovering somewhat, only down 223. Gold only up about a half a percent.

    How do you think tomorrow and next week shapes up?

    Do you think the Greece can kicking is finally coming to an end and if so will that finally implode the Fed fueled crack cocaine market rally? And if so will it be like 2008 where gold went down, too? (Although not as much as the conventional markets.)

      Jun 28, 2015 28:11 PM

      People are so unprepared. Look at those Greeks, they only come out when announcement has been made and the lines are so orderly. The trust to the system will destroy most people. It will be to late for people to realize they are on their own. It is totally uncontrollable if poeple take action all at once

    bb
    Jun 28, 2015 28:07 PM

    I think Greece is not as big a deal as its made out to be.
    But I wonder about gold increasing because of Greece defaulting.
    Is tonights action in gold a clue?

      Jun 28, 2015 28:12 PM

      It is big deal for greeks

        bb
        Jun 28, 2015 28:25 PM

        It is Lawrence, what I ment is I doubt a greek default brings down the whole system as some claim.

          Jun 28, 2015 28:33 PM

          Not likely to bring down system. I heard ECB has taken on most of the Greek Debt in the last few years from the private holders. but the derivatives is still hard to say.

      Jun 28, 2015 28:15 PM

      I don’t think Greece is making any difference at all bb. Technically, gold is doing just as I expected even despite today’s gap up. I expect price to turn back down BEFORE it sees 1200 dollars so looking for a reversal down somewhere in the high 1190’s during this week.

        bb
        Jun 28, 2015 28:16 PM

        Thx Bird, Im still going with Garys/Docs thinking, down.
        Gary could be right, we see about $1000.
        That’s gonna be a scary point as far as Im concerned, I figure Chinese buying increases then. So, I will see that as a great buying opportunity for shares.

        But ya never know, Dent could be right.

        If he is, I shoulda listened to JJ. lol

    Jun 28, 2015 28:16 PM

    Ebolan,
    Thank God someone’s talking about the markets! I think oil is toast! It looks like gold will definitely go up right here. The dollar looks pretty strong right now too. I’m short the Dow, but I got a sneaky suspicion it will reverse and go up this week. To say it’s got exciting is an understatement given the news and things going on. Greece is just a sideshow or theater IMO of the whole euro condition. It’s going to be hard to sleep tonight with the volatility. Lol

      Jun 28, 2015 28:31 PM

      So the dollar goes up and gold goes up? Well, it has happened before.

      I just wonder if Greece is the domino that knocks down all the others. If Greece bails why wouldn’t Ireland, Spain, Portugal and Italy? And really, France and the UK are over their heads in debt, too. But so is Uncle Sucker. And Japan is insane. Could Greece be the domino that knocks all the others down? If Greece goes wouldn’t we finally see the bond vigilantes come out in force?

        Jun 28, 2015 28:35 PM

        That’s what I’m thinking too, Ebolan.

        Jun 28, 2015 28:42 PM

        Ebolan.
        I was buying gold and silver in 2000. I own nothing now.
        Gold works pretty well as an inflation hedge but does poorly in deflation. We have pleanty of deflation all you have to do is look at commodities. Gold had its day and I don’t think there’s any moonshot out front. 8 moths ago I posted that it will be lucky to move sideways. What’s as big and liquid as the USD? Nothing so it’s a go to place as others have far bigger issues. Best of luck.

          Jun 28, 2015 28:46 PM

      Its interesting to watch so far Chartster,
      I’m eating lunch here & watching the Aussie stock market lose 2% so far over these jitters.
      It’ll be interesting also to see the opening of the Dow later tonight (my time)
      Will it sell off somewhat also?
      Or will worldwide capital look to park there instead?
      I’ll have to wait & see….I honestly don’t know which way it will pan out?
      Cheers.

        Jun 28, 2015 28:22 PM

        As well as I can see Skeeta we are getting no more than a market knee-jerk action reaction thus far today, not a major directional change in anything of importance. Greece is not all that relevant. It is just a brief tradeable event but I would not hitch my wagons to any ideas that the world is about to come apart at the seams or we get a market crash or anything like that. Same with gold. The picture is still negative.

          Jun 28, 2015 28:52 PM

          Grains are taking quite a ride up though.

          Jun 28, 2015 28:52 PM

          Where do you come up with that theseis
          and your wagon theory.

          The wagons could burn. Forget about the

            You got nothing to back up your claims but
            a pile of dog duty.

            Guys like you are a dime a dozen. GET LOST !!!!!!

            Ha…what a joke…Bill…you got nothin to
            back up all your B.S. claims.

            All mine are backed up….time stamped

            AND GO POUND DIRT…BILL…

            You got squat and only a big mouth LOL 🙂 LOL

            You one scary dude man. I never mention god once ever. So what are you talking about I rejected God??
            Also if your valued guess speakers are wrong most of the time I’ll point it out all day long.
            Where’s your email? You’ve gotten nasty and I’ll take you on face to face. You don’t know who your dealing with…email? I’ll prove my trades to.

            Jun 28, 2015 28:31 PM

            Bill….your a discombobulated tossed fruit salad.

            All you do is knock anything that is said regarding
            God.

            You persecute and accuse. Thats what non believers
            do. Thats what you do to me.

            I don’t care about your trades and not going to trouble
            myself any further listening to all your B.S.

            Post it and time stamp it. Now you add truth and eliminate
            fraud here. There is overwhelming amounts of it here.

            You could have done it many moons ago. Still, you have
            an empty hand. You have 00000. NADA !!!! A dog pile of.. S

            Comprendo !!!!

            I , on the other hand have proved all my successful trades and
            market calls time stamping everything.

            SORRY, YOUR A CHUMP AND I’M STILL THE CHAMP.

            That’s how it is or go home !!!! Suckers are born everyday.

            No one wants to hear it in 20/20 hindsight.

            I guess you might find a few fools around.

            I’m not going to believe it and everyone here will doubt you.

            Start time stamping or go back to the brick pile.

            I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT !!!! Thats final.

          Jun 28, 2015 28:02 PM

          I do think the conventional markets still have a way to run up yet Bird,
          So yes, more than likely just a mere small hiccup in the big scheme of things.

            Jun 28, 2015 28:17 PM

            Just a blip on the weekly so far. Not that it can’t get worse but I would agree with those who have already noted Greece has long since been priced into the market.

            Jun 29, 2015 29:16 AM

            Notice gold has returned to where it closed on Friday? Big spike in overnight trading followed by a reversion to base. That was just a spec play and does not have legs in my opinion. We will see what happens during the day but I would not bank on fireworks for metals. Especially since that spike could not even exceed 1190……kind of limp if you want my opinion.

    Jun 28, 2015 28:59 PM

    Getting back to business…..I don’t think that Greece is even the real story despite the fact its getting all the headlines right now. If you want a real worry it is the shadows of a Puerto Rico default trapping a whole lot of people in bond funds that will soon have about zero market liquidity even at escalating rates. Governor Alejandro García Padilla has remarked the debt is unrepayable suggesting haircuts for everyone. In this case that may even mean you if you have money tied up in mutual’s who have exposure. And since that is still widespread there will be pain shared around for average pensioners and investors unlike the case for Greece where much of the debt has already been contained on ECB and European bank balance sheets.

    Jun 28, 2015 28:37 PM

    Not much in the American press about Puerto Rico the past days but there is this article from The Guardian that summarizes the issues. Zerohedge has picked up on it today with some recent alarming remarks made by the Governor….

    “Creditors must now share the sacrifices…..If they don’t come to the table, it will be bad for them,” said Mr. García Padilla, who plans to speak about the fiscal crisis in a televised address to Puerto Rico residents on Monday evening. “What will happen is that our economy will get into a worse situation and we’ll have less money to pay them. They will be shooting themselves in the foot…..My administration is doing everything not to default. But we have to make the economy grow…..If not, we will be in a death spiral.”

      Bird,

      Greece got the ball rolling and Puerto Rico will apply some additional fuel to really get this thing rolling. The world debt contagion and follow on effects have arrived. Even though PR is primarily a Municipality Bond issue, it matters not because there are layered derivatives contracts embedded throughout all of these debt obligations world wide.

      There will be no more talking, misdirection and hiding the debt saturation.

      It’s not the end of the world, but the gale force CAT-5 winds that are produced are going get every one wet. Now is the time that people need to take a step back, collect thier thoughts and make no hasty moves as this plays out.

      Jun 29, 2015 29:51 AM

      I was surprised that PR’s GDP was about 40% of Greece’s.

        Jun 29, 2015 29:14 AM

        Crikey…PR wasn’t even on my radar to be honest.

          Jun 29, 2015 29:01 AM

          That’s the beauty of how the media cloud effect works, Skeeta. They fixate you on a single story like Greece and then ram through Fast Track without most even being aware it happened outside the blogs. Meanwhile, PR goes to edge of bankruptcy without more than a fleeting mention. And remember that Malaysian flight that disappeared last year? That got 24/7 coverage for months to the exclusion of everything else. Same deal with threats of war and Ukraine. Red Herrings every one because they are all used to distract from what is actually important in your own back yard. And the effect works to erase big stories too. When Gaza was being bombed senseless and the blogosphere went into outrage mode we abruptly got an Ebola threat so scary the whole planet was about to become infected….and Gaza just faded into oblivion and has not gotten coverage since. We are all being led around like sheep dogs on a leash.

          Jun 29, 2015 29:03 AM

          Good time to check your funds Skeeta. Almost everyone has a little Puerto Rico as one of the line items.

    http://news.goldseek.com/GoldSeek/1435517613.php

      Jun 29, 2015 29:24 AM

      Holy crap batman! That is not god for anyone. Risk exposure will be off the charts and counterparty claims could turn the whole lot into a zoo in the end. So much for the safety of funds. why even bother reading the prospectus when they are just telling you upfront they are going to mix it all up together to ensure liquidity? That sure as hell is not what people signed on for. If I make a smart buy I want to be assured no undue risks and I sure as hell don’t want some loser in a bad fund to be siphoning off from mine just so he can escape the axe that is well deserved for stupidity and risky behavior. Basically, like most people here we want those who have excessively speculated to pay the price for their mistakes and not contaminate funds through capital dilution that were more conservative. What a shitty deal. Happily, I don’t own anything from them. Thanks for the tip-off Matthew.

            Andrew, you could have saved yourself
            much pain in the gold market if you
            would have listened to God.

            Right now forget about that lesson
            there is a much more tragic lesson
            coming.

            Its time to prepare with God by our
            sides and take our eyes off the things
            of this world and not covet.

            May God speak to all our hearts.

            Take our eyes off this world…NOW !!!

            Not when its too late. God forbid !!!

    Jun 29, 2015 29:11 AM

    Matthew,

    I find it amazing that after all the Greek people have been through over the months, millions of them waited until the last minute to withdraw funds from the banks.

    Humans are a strange breed and amazingly we never seem to change. Now its all tears as if none of them had not been given ample warning and awareness of what was unfolding.

      Jun 29, 2015 29:36 AM

      Buying gold in 1980, the dot coms in 2000 or running from a bear when it’s ten feet away, humans don’t act until it’s too late.

      Jun 29, 2015 29:42 AM

      Good point Vortex. I think they say it is the insanity of the herd. If we were skiing together and I said to you “Look out!!! Avalanche!!” I am sure you would not hesitate to take evasive maneuvers within a split second.

      That is what just happened in Greece.

      But if we were skiing together and before we set out I warned you of a cliff at the Black Peak turn you would probably ignore me and possibly ski right off the edge like a thousand others. Its because thee threat is distant and you cannot yet see it.

      We run away from Park Bears but we don’t run away from the threats that bears are nearby. Maybe that’s an act of faith…..or maybe we are really practical at heart so we don’t waste energy on threats that are not yet real.

      In either case most people have not learned from history or bothered to read up the odds of outcomes in such scenarios. In the investment world virtually everyone is aware and has already taken action unless they preferred the risk profile. But the citizenry and electorate is another kettle of fish altogether.

      They do not come to blogs like this….and they may not even be capable of adequately informing themselves of the alarming news they are reading each day so most of it just goes over their heads anyway.

      At the end I think the common belief was that governments would not let them down and it would all be OK in the end. Too bad for them.

    Jun 29, 2015 29:53 AM

    Yes Bird, all really good points as well.

    So often we humans become paralyzed by inaction just to remain within a make believe mainstream construct of a world that does not exist.

    Greeks not securing their money until this weekend, at the very time of the witching hour is so mystifying it truly defines the illogical actions of the herd mentality in grand form.

      Jun 29, 2015 29:56 AM

      In another article btw I did read that many of the people in the lines were actually Greek tourists and visiting business people who seem to have been caught off guard and cannot afford to run out of cash during their stay.

        and a coward.

        The great collapse will be much worse than
        even Bob predicted maybe prematurely but
        its on track.

        All your gains and referring to everyone incl.
        myself will be wiped out.

        God will be the only refuge not your cat or
        animals.

        Seek the true and living God of The Holy Bible

            Then you will cry out to God and he

            SEEK GOD OF THE LIVING BIBLE…

            Before its too late !!!!

            Jun 29, 2015 29:20 AM

    Gold price movement today demonstrates the degree of price control in gold. Two sovereign defaults in a day and gold wend down. It is getting absurd.

        I feel silver is what they are focusing on. Quarter end is here. They are stuck with silver shorts. They have to get silver price down regardless what happens. Using gold to drive silver is a standard technique.

Maybe Watson the IBM computer that whomped Ken Jennings and the other contestants on Jeopardy should be asked if it can solve some of the many infallible problems of humanity. Then we might finally get some straight forward and thinking answers, at least a computer can’t talk out of both sides of it’s mouth or can it. Just saying! DT

    Al & Cory,

    Rather that just make remarks, I think an example of the division than can be caused by a trouble poster, especially around the topics of religion and politics is better selected from your own blog from Jan – April of this year. Eventually even Birdman, who upsets nearly everyone he comes in contact with, realizes the need for moderation, (despite his comments above to the contrary).

    Al & Cory – Is this the “family feel” you want on this website?

Nobody even knows how they can still type the liturgy at the same time their hands are so busy…….but its all for God of course!

    Bird,
    This is s horrible comment regarding priest and the catholic faith. This attack is by far the worse I have seen. Uncalled for. Listen folks I’ve stated many times I don’t come here for the religion talk. It is a very sensitive topic but what bird just said attacks al, myself and many others. I have been good to the board and never attacked anyone else’s faith or religion because that’s personal and part of who you are. Your foundation. I respect all and personally don’t care what you study or preach. There will always be bad everywhere around you. My faith has been under attack for a very long time. People have left the church and many so called Cristians have moved on to many other denominations. They have all branches of Catholic Church. When asked why they have left many have responded to boring for me. The priest are pedophiles etc etc. I ask them are you happy in your new place? They respond yes but quickly return to attacking my faith. I can see the hat in these people or Christians. All Christians who have left our church most I come across attack us. You don’t leave something because you loved it. So my response to everyone is evil is everywhere and around us. But evil lies on your tongue and actions. Because you have left a church for a better place continuing your hate and evil bias towards my faith makes you fat from salvation. I’m comfortable with my faith and my faith loves one another and does not hate others. I can assure you on my family my faith is about love and giving. There will always be evil everywhere. Don’t blow up a few priest for the sake of attacking. That is pure evil in itself. Many in here are pastors or reverend. I respect that but I known personally from friends of some who have taken and take 20 points a month from these people on a monthly base. Tax? That is a big lump of sum and these pastors drive around with bmw, Mercedes and own massive homes. My local priest comes to are special functions and is dedicated to his faith. Sleeps in a simple place and I need to taxi him around. Never once has he failed me. Look around evil is in the tongue. There is bad everywhere and it starts with each of our comments.

    I never mentioned Catholics. Go back and read the comment and don’t put words in my mouth. I merely expressed a personal opinion. EVERY comment on this site, (including yours) are personal opinions Glenfiddish, whether they be the racist garbage spewed by a few white supremacists who come here or the Israel haters or pro-gun lobby or the gay basher’s or the Fed haters or the anti-abortion crowd. Do you see censorship on this blog? So go and judge elsewhere unless you want to limit yourself to being politically correct and devoid of an opinion about the issues that surround us all. Who gives a damn if I don’t think much about organized religion anyway?….NOBODY!
    Anyway, this just proves my point. None of you people want to talk economics. You are all obsessed with personal slights and the characteristics of the people posting rather than the topics offered up.
    I invited you and others to discuss interest rates an inflation. Nobody spent a minute posting a single word. Instead I get treated to an essay from you about your own moral high ground and what is wrong with my opinion.

    Yes bb, religious angles (attacks) are one of the favorite methods of forum disruption when they are heavily mixed with accusations and emotional hot button commentary. When it gets bad enough sites are completely destroyed as everyone stops reading and posting. In the past weeks his approach has revolved around the end of the world, Armageddon and nuclear holocaust. Before that it was badgering of individuals in a divide and conquer method. As long as everyone understands what is actually taking place it is easier to deal with. No, he is probably not literally a Bot but his technique is fairly sophisticated and it is effective in shutting down discussion and debate. Notice that when he attacks a thread that almost nobody adds a post after that? It is systematic bb. He is not a Christian in my view but rather one who uses Christianity as a weapon on public sites.

    Of course, according to goldbugs like you the dumb money was also selling at 1800. And then the more dumb money was selling at 1550 and the really idiotic money was selling at 1350…..so why should it be any different now that they are selling at current prices when there is a fair probability gold could fall below 1000? We are obviously in the midst of a commodity decline that is measured in historical terms due to its severity. Gold is a commodity. It behaves by falling with the group as a general rule. So when crude falls 50% in a matter of months and the major grains also turn down we need to maybe reassess what is taking place and not listen to fools who always pull the “dumb money” card at every new low.

      Where I live, amongst the bottom billion working poor on the planet, median incomes are a dollar or two each day. That means in point of fact that half the people earn LESS than that pathetic amount and half earn more. And those are incomes for working people!
      Do you think that is fair?
      Before you accuse me of being a socialist or a Marxist or a Communist you had best take a broader view of the kind of social inequity that is normal on this planet of ours. How can you square away that one person hoards a billion dollars or more of personal wealth while another survives quite literally on just pennies each day?
      It is not even enough to buy fresh vegetables to feed a family, never mind the expensive proteins like milk, meat, eggs and cheese. I understand what you are saying of course.

      Once a free content message board reaches the level of abrasive discourse and clear division that this one has, it’s very difficult for it ever to recover.
      At some point in the future it will simply become too undesirable and not worth anyone’s time to come here and wade through the divergent personalities and endless infighting.
      Unfortunately, I myself bare some responsibility in the big scheme of things as a longtime guest and contributor here. Often times I have been guilty of poor behavior and that was and is unfortunate on my part.
      Hopefully cooler heads, maturity and a more humble form of opinionated bravado can prevail (not censorship) and we can get back to making this a more civil self governing place that Big Al can once again be proud of as the owner and host and for all of us to enjoy a great dialog of globally diverse opinions.

Like his house, this site is Al’s private property. Banning bad behavior is hardly similar to banning certain content, don’t you think?
      While I’m at it, I consider it to be grade school behavior when presumably competent adults tolerate people that act, and interact with others, the way Birdman does.
      I also consider those who trust their politicians and the major media companies to be rather “grade school” as well.

      Ok genius and world class dirtball, I made 16 trades today and exchanged 28 emails with Glenfidish. If you check, you’ll see that there is a gap in my comments here.
      It’s funny how you DO notice such gaps when it suits your sociopathy. With that delusional 12 year old brain of yours, you accused me recently of “hiding” because you just knew that the market was going against me. Well Glen knows better because he and I were talking the markets constantly during the days in question.
      Why should I waste time dealing with your Daffy Duck ass when I can share info with someone who actually operates in the markets in real life as I do.
      Notice that this Birdman jackass didn’t let Al’s serious circumstances stop him from stroking his ego in his comment to above where he stated “I suspected worse to tell the truth. Guess I was right.” Then he makes a crack about Al sounding “loaded.” THEN he starts in with me. Typical of a sociopath, he just has to get the spotlight on himself.
      ——————————-
      Got that? The language used is totally over the top. It is no-holds barred and there is no restraint shown whatsoever. And is it any wonder the site is poisonous since the writer does this on almost every thread these days. I wish I could say the above abuse was the worst but it hardly comes close to all the other garbage the guy writes when the mood to abuse hits him. Yet people support him and take sides when he is his most venomous. I would not suggest blocking Matthew but you know what?….this site needs moderation to start catching some of this abusive nonsense before it gets posted and all our lives would be better for it. Can your program not handle flagging certain kinds of words and insults? Here is a summary of what was spewed at me without good cause last week

      Please read the preceding post (above) that YOU wrote Matthew and start to take a little more responsibility for your filthy daily comments. I actually attempted to make peace with you a few days back but you squandered the opportunity.
      So I have a suggestion. The library of prohibited words, insults, invective and cursing that can be controlled by this website should be substantially expanded to include the reams of insults the likes of you dish out at every opportunity.
      Secondly, Heavy hitter should be immediately blocked and make that permanent because of all the discord he brings that is wrecking this site. Jerry meanwhile should be given a two week Sabbatical ban so he can reconsider whether he wants to add an inflammatory, irritating post at every single opportunity afforded him.

NOT because I am without faults or not because I think I am better than anyone else, but because I hear comments relating to Christianity and Scripture, but I don’t see those same people acting “Christlike”. Yes, we are only human, but I think it is our duty to attempt to provide civil behavior and kindness, even when others are disrespectful and attempt to insult our intentions.
      May everyone on this site have a blessed Easter…even if they don’t agree with the occasion. Our lives change, whether thru the death of loved ones, lose of finances, loss of health.

All kidding aside DT it is essential at this stage that Greece and the EU avoid an actual default. And it is not necessary to create that kind of trauma for the European markets either with a triggering of CDS and related insurance contracts. What we really want is an accommodation that brings the parties closer together and sets up the precedents and conditions for a Fiscal Union. This crisis may conveniently provide the opportunity to do just that.

        Just a short note Al…..I am really unhappy about the show you hosted yesterday and the tone it expressed. I am indeed a supporter of Israel and will not apologize for my strong personal beliefs in respect of the real threats the country faces. In that regard I am unequivocal and will not back down. The whole region runs more on emotion than good common sense. Cool heads need to prevail. We cannot take sides when the stakes are so high nor pass judgement on any one country without appreciating that all our fates lie entwined in what is taking place there. I really fear for the future of the Middle East. I fear for all of us actually. I worry about the proliferation of dangerous weapons in unstable nations against a backdrop of past hatreds and misunderstandings. If anyone pushes the button here it is all our God Damned asses on the line. Do not misunderstand the consequences because at the end of the day these countries are just a proxy for a much larger conflict between East and West if one ever begins. So please be more responsible with your commentary. This is not just some excuse of a story to boost your daily ratings.

      Re: “Miners are being stupid as they act like gold has made higher high which it has not.”
      Stewie! Why are you upset that the miners are acting bullishly? The market is telling you that they are too cheap versus gold at anywhere near the current levels. The sellers are fixated only on the dollar price and don’t realize that the REAL price of gold is up substantially in recent months. Q1 results are going to prove it.
      The quality plays with comfortable margins will not enjoy the same gains as the ones that were just breaking even before oil and most currencies fell vs gold.
      If a miner was making $10 per ounce last summer and is now making $150, you can imagine what that would do for its share price. Not only is that a big jump in the profit margin, but it is a huge jump in the value of the previously nearly worthless reserves.
      In addition, markets are forward-looking and can see that gold has much more room to rise from here than to fall. So big money is using all dips to get positioned.

       On February 23, 2015 at 1:42 pm,
      Birdman says:
      Matthew is wrong Jthomas. The bubbles we are referring to above are all similar in their basic visual pattern showing how PRICE was impacted rather than by how many people participated. In fact, there is nothing whatsoever in any of those charts that indicates the extent of public participation. Matthew does not understand this simple point even though he sees himself as some kind of chart whiz.
       On February 23, 2015 at 1:56 pm,
      Birdman says:
      Actually I agree with you Thomas. There is no reason gold must retrace a 100%. I did say I was playing Devils Advocate above. A mean retracement tells us that price should revert to the long term average line though. The question to ask is probably “What is golds long term average price”. That’s not so easy to get an answer to because gold does reflect the loss in the dollars buying power over time so the average should also be rising if it is floating free. In other words, it cannot be fixed by just gathering at historical records and doing some fancy division. Its no wonder gold is baffling.

      So what? Are you kidding me Matthew? Who says EVERYONE needs to be buying gold in order that we get a valid mania? That’s ridiculous. You can have a mania in farmland amongst farmers for example. You could have a mania in music or dance crazes amongst a demographic segment. Punkrock was a mania but my Mother didn’t go out and join in! The discussion here is about a price pattern and a particular chart formation, NOT the quantity of buyers. No wonder you don’t get gold.
       On February 23, 2015 at 3:28 pm,
      Jthomas says:
      Sorry birdman, I cannot disagree with you more. Every mania has been overwhelmingly observed to have had massive public participation. We have yet to see that in gold. Even in 1980 during the gold bubble of that time, there was public participation, big time. I still remember the line ups out the doors of coin dealers.
       On February 23, 2015 at 3:43 pm,

      Jthomas says:
      Birdman. Learn to discern. Fads and bubbles are not the same. Even so, you argue against yourself. Cabbage patch dolls would be great example of how stupid people can get for anything. But a bubble/mania is a process of ever expanding euphoria. The internet bubble started in the year 1990 before it popped in 2000. The single most important factor is that the public in general was heavily invested. As stated before, we have not seen that kind of participation in gold. By the way, there are several books out on mania’s and bubble’s, you should read them.
       On February 23, 2015 at 10:35 am,
      Matthew says:
      There was no bubble in gold from a valuation standpoint. It just got ahead of itself. Quick big gains always result in selling. By the middle of 2011, the Dow had lost nearly 90% of its value vs gold in just over ten years.
       On February 23, 2015 at 10:44 am,
      Birdman says:
      Uh hunh…..just got ahead of itself, eh. We have a term for that in the investment world. It is called a mania when prices burst out of control to the upside. Nobody reflects later that it “just got ahead of itself”!
      Instead they just wish they had sold at the top.
       On February 23, 2015 at 11:33 am,
      Matthew says:
      Ridiculous. There was no mania. As gold was topping in 2011, maybe two or three people out of a hundred wanted to talk about gold in my experience (among people who actually have money). There was a vague increase in interest in it, but I know of very few people who actually cared about or even considered buying any.
      The mania is ahead, no doubt about it, but more people agree with you, no doubt about that either.

      That just doesn’t look like a bubble to me. Yes it was somewhat parabolic. But look at the Nasdaq and oil. Those were true bubbles.

      You are assuming that the declines have ended, Matthew. Bad call. We are still in a falling price pattern for gold and there is no assurance we cannot see much steeper losses. A 50% decline off the peak puts us below 1000 dollars. That should be expected at the very minimum don’t you think?

      No, I haven’t assumed anything. I just provided the facts. A lower low for gold won’t change the fact that the real bubbles lost more than twice as much value for the given time frames. Get it?
      Gold would have to go to $400 VERY soon in order to match the declines put in by the Nasdaq etc.

      Now you are getting it. You are right because 50% won’t do it if this is really a bubble that is popping. Even you admit that each bubble gave back about 80% so then what that suggests is a lot of tears between here and the final lows.

        This is one crazy sector that is filled with every kind of crackpot imaginable to be sure. What amazes me is the average Joe gold bug is fighting this clearing event that Rick is talking about tooth and nail.
        If you try to talk about this subject in a realistic and honest framework people just become angry and defensive. What they fail to realize is if this event does take place, it will make the entire PM mining sector a much more lucrative, stable environment and much easier atmosphere to conduct in-depth DD on your favorite little companies.
        An extreme market clearing event cleansing these crappy no resource, no future, no money junior mining companies off the board should be what every gold and silver bug mining aficionado should welcome.

        So true Vortex. I guess the problem with so many of them is that they became so committed to their gold philosophy they did never sell but rather held all the way down. So its in their interest to keep insisting gold is soon going to see a big recovery. They are shockingly tenacious in their views despite being wrong so many years in a row. I know I will bide my time. There is nothing happening here for long positions right now….just short term trades on the bounces and the predictable declines that follow. We will grind lower until the last of them throws in the towel and the gold bug sites go dark.

They were beyond poisonous, what I actually considered to be dangerous members of society with their extreme hatreds for all authority and government. I still find it utterly bizarre how nasty and vindictive they can be when anyone threatens or criticizes their little golden and silver treasures. So yes, I have no sympathy whatsoever for the nutcase crowd who are mostly anarchist, gun toting financial terrorists with greed in their hearts and no love at all for their fellow man. That’s why I get a kick out of golds price falling. Let the market teach those idiots and punish them for their lack of real beliefs as they follow their golden idol back to its intrinsic value.

    The dollar is massively overbought even on the monthly chart. Why no talk about selling into strength? Where are the contrarians? The dollar can (and I believe, will) retrace the entire move going back to July.
    You lock in your dollar gains by buying things that are now cheap.

    Let me tell you something. There was not a single person on this site who called the dollar top unequivocally except me. There was not a single person ANYWHERE to my knowledge that made that exact call. Period and end of story.
    And you know what else? That is the second time in the last 12 months because I also called the dollar bottom to the day. Then as now I was entirely alone. Doc, Al, Cory, Chris, Gary….none of them came close. They won’t even talk about it. Pride is all.

    Yes bb, religious angles (attacks) are one of the favorite methods of forum disruption when they are heavily mixed with accusations and emotional hot button commentary. When it gets bad enough sites are completely destroyed as everyone stops reading and posting. In the past weeks his approach has revolved around the end of the world, Armageddon and nuclear holocaust. Before that it was badgering of individuals in a divide and conquer method. As long as everyone understands what is actually taking place it is easier to deal with. No, he is probably not literally a Bot but his technique is fairly sophisticated and it is effective in shutting down discussion and debate. Notice that when he attacks a thread that almost nobody adds a post after that? It is systematic bb. He is not a Christian in my view but rather one who uses Christianity as a weapon on public sites.

    There are some great folks here that provide solid content to talk about and just in general hold friendly conversations back and forth, but a small faction or fringe element of the “hard money” folks who take all of the worlds Ill’s beyond the extreme with no balance usually takes the discussions and direction of the site right into the asylum of the absurd.

    Furthermore Bird, I’m not here to push my views on
    anyone. I respect the investors and traders who don’t
    want to be destracted with nuclear war etc.
    Some do want to discuss it and late hours or inactive
    forums is more appropriate.
    I want to make that clear. You came into a forum with
    all my threads the other day and no trader talk was active.
    Then you complain after you participated and you should
    have never posted to begin with. Was nothing to do with
    trading and Garys forum was filled with activity.
    You don’t have a case only to complain. Would be no one
    posting at all in these inactive forums.
    YOU NEED TO GET IT !!!!! AND STOP.

    Bird,
    There is no doubt that you are a very valuable piece to this group. You, Matt and many others. You have made many calls that myself have had to scratch my head. You leaving this site is no good for the sanity of all. We all sometimes get under eachothers skin as I have told matt the same. There may never be piece among all of us but that is why me,shad and others are here to neutralize things. Your summary is A+ and your calls as well as Matts have been mind blowing. I don’t need to toot your horn anymore as I’ve stated in the past you bring enormous value to here.
    Keep it honest, respectful and don’t get into the everyday scuffle and battles that are simply not worth it. Your wisdom is what many in here appreciate and may not come out and tell you but glen is speaking out for many of us. No arrogance my friend or attention seeking as you don’t need that one bit. We all recognize how you, matt and others are very important.

    For years he accused Matthew with thousands of posts
    and just a few days ago he said. ..Matthew is an asset
    to this site. Accused me too. All the time In his defense.
    Not mine.
    We have had hundreds of bad confrontations with Bird
    and I was leading the charge most of the time to stop
    Bird from his evil motivations harrassing consistently
    all the time.
    Then Bird threatens me to insist Big AL should have ” me ”
    blocked the other day and many times in the past.
    He even threatened J…, Mark and Franky a few days ago.
    Bird should have never threatened anything with his derogatory
    malicious vicious foul behavior all this time to posters including
    me.
    Glen, nothing but malice in here from Bird all these years.
    Like he is really somebody that can order the blocking of
    anyone he chooses.
    Been very cruel to lots of posters including Andrew in particular
    over the years.
    Bird is a monster and should be monitored. I’m speaking out
    because we should all know the truth and realize who he is.
    Bird is notorious for repeating his very derogatory harassment nature.
    Bird should just S.U. as he has no credibility and post respectfully.
    Thats all and realize he is a piece of sh%t. He once has never apologized
    and that makes this much much worse. Makes him a P.O.S.
    No apologies and no respect. Bird S.U. and continues respectfully.

    I don’t know you guys have much more history in here then I do and I guess I like to give people the benefit of doubt. The anger and fire in you is evident and at this point I don’t think me nor anyone else can put a stop to this other then you and bird putting peace and moving on.
    I tried and it’s unfortunate because I much rather live in peace and harmony then let anger get the better of me. Like I told matt once that i much rather give my enemy a smile and pretend for the peace then to let it eat me up inside cause stress is the silent killer.

    It’s funny how you DO notice such gaps when it suits your sociopathy. With that delusional 12 year old brain of yours, you accused me recently of “hiding” because you just knew that the market was going against me. Well Glen knows better because he and I were talking the markets constantly during the days in question.
    Why should I waste time dealing with your Daffy Duck ass when I can share info with someone who actually operates in the markets in real life as I do.
    Notice that this Birdman jackass didn’t let Al’s serious circumstances stop him from stroking his ego in his comment to above where he stated “I suspected worse to tell the truth. Guess I was right.” Then he makes a crack about Al sounding “loaded.” THEN he starts in with me. Typical of a sociopath, he just has to get the spotlight on himself.

Im speaking more on credibility/performance/track record. Chartsters has been very poor and no harm intended but his forecast is terrible. I question peoples motives on why they say things.

     On April 2, 2015 at 11:28 am,
    Birdman says:
    Correct. My chips are mine so I consider that personal. I’m not in a game with anyone else here anyway. Nobody is offended by that most of the time. Do you recall back when gold was rising though? And at that time there was a lot of people bragging about their multi-baggers and great stock choices etc etc…. I thought it was counterproductive because it just led to a lot of chest pounding ego trips between totally anonymous people. Some really smart guys would be totally discredited just for making a bad trade as if that signified how bright they were. It was ridiculous. Everyone makes a bad trade sometimes…no exceptions. So I don’t participate at that level. It turns childish too fast.

    How about this assumption. See the last chart in the series linked below. You tell me…was that a head and shoulders pattern at the end of a decline (and that did in fact break down like most H&S patterns do) or was it just a…ah…ummmm….a…… “shape”?
     By the way, that post of yours was uncalled for. It is also totally unsubstantiated. What’s funny is that Glen just accuse me of taking cheap shots and then you do exactly what he is talking about. Perhaps you would care to comment on my posts about interest rates and inflation instead? You can find those on Doc’s Wednesday thread.
     On April 3, 2015 at 12:09 am,
    Matthew says:
    I hate to tell you this Birdman, but unless the pattern you’re seeing activates AND delivers the measured target price, then it will have been just a shape. Shapes on charts that look like legitimate patterns are not unusual.
    As for your inflation and interest rates talk, I think it’s funny that you now accept many facts that you used to fight with me about two years ago. And it’s not just those subjects. You used to attack me and others for saying things that you now appear to agree with. I just haven’t pointed them out.

    Birdman says:
    Look at the chart I posted. It is not an assumption. It is a fact that a H&S formed and then broke down at the base of a long decline. You should not limit your technical viewpoint to the extent you cannot see what is obvious.
    That is called a bias based on preconceived notions and will limit your ability to think clearly when you encounter patterns that are slightly different yet potentially meaningful.
    In my case I have already acknowledged that this particular H&S on gold is problematic however I have not ruled out that it could still be significant. So this is a watch and see until we get more confirmation is all. What I have done is point out a possible break down is coming.

    Sorry Glen, but nobody here is obligated to discuss their trades so don’t waste energy being pissed off. It’s probably just as well that most here keep that part of their life private which is where it belongs. If you want to get into pissing contests about how great a trade you pulled and how much money you made (or lost) then there are plenty of sites for that. Of course you will quickly find out that most of the contributors that post never seem to lose! They just win-win-win because that’s the name of the pissing game.

    This is s horrible comment regarding priest and the catholic faith. This attack is by far the worse I have seen. Uncalled for. Listen folks I’ve stated many times I don’t come here for the religion talk. It is a very sensitive topic but what bird just said attacks al, myself and many others. I have been good to the board and never attacked anyone else’s faith or religion because that’s personal and part of who you are. Your foundation. I respect all and personally don’t care what you study or preach. There will always be bad everywhere around you. My faith has been under attack for a very long time. People have left the church and many so called Cristians have moved on to many other denominations. They have all branches of Catholic Church. When asked why they have left many have responded to boring for me. The priest are pedophiles etc etc. I ask them are you happy in your new place? They respond yes but quickly return to attacking my faith. I can see the hat in these people or Christians. All Christians who have left our church most I come across attack us. You don’t leave something because you loved it. So my response to everyone is evil is everywhere and around us. But evil lies on your tongue and actions. Because you have left a church for a better place continuing your hate and evil bias towards my faith makes you fat from salvation. I’m comfortable with my faith and my faith loves one another and does not hate others. I can assure you on my family my faith is about love and giving. There will always be evil everywhere. Don’t blow up a few priest for the sake of attacking. That is pure evil in itself. Many in here are pastors or reverend. I respect that but I knownpersonally from friends of some who have taken and take 20 points a month from these people on a monthly base. Tax? That is a big lump of sum and these pastors drive around with bmw, Mercedes and own massive homes. My local priest comes to are special functions and is dedicated to his faith. Sleeps in a simple place and I need to taxi him around. Never once has he failed me. Look around evil is in the tongue. There is bad everywhere and it starts with each of our comments.
    Just my thoughts and for the record I respect all and I was just giving an opinion in a small percent of what happens with others. Majority are good people.
    This world today is more screwed then 100 years back. Ask yourself why? The answer is there and in the news on why! I will leave it at that and will not respond to any comments regarding what I have just said.

    I never mentioned Catholics. Go back and read the comment and don’t put words in my mouth. I merely expressed a personal opinion. EVERY comment on this site, (including yours) are personal opinions Glenfiddish, whether they be the racist garbage spewed by a few white supremacists who come here or the Israel haters or pro-gun lobby or the gay basher’s or the Fed haters or the anti-abortion crowd. Do you see censorship on this blog? So go and judge elsewhere unless you want to limit yourself to being politically correct and devoid of an opinion about the issues that surround us all. Who gives a damn if I don’t think much about organized religion anyway?….NOBODY!
    Anyway, this just proves my point. None of you people want to talk economics. You are all obsessed with personal slights and the characteristics of the people posting rather than the topics offered up.
    I invited you and others to discuss interest rates an inflation. Nobody spent a minute posting a single word. Instead I get treated to an essay from you about your own moral high ground and what is wrong with my opinion.

    That is not my point. You, me and others don’t trade according to what others say but many followers and viewers come here and get advice. Im speaking more on credibility/performance/track record. Chartsters has been very poor and no harm intended but his forecast is terrible. I question peoples motives on why they say things. For the record your one who has never come out and said a trade forex or anything? You speak out but never make calls “meaning chips on table”. I guess you feel the need not to?

    Correct. My chips are mine so I consider that personal. I’m not in a game with anyone else here anyway. Nobody is offended by that most of the time. Do you recall back when gold was rising though? And at that time there was a lot of people bragging about their multi-baggers and great stock choices etc etc…. I thought it was counterproductive because it just led to a lot of chest pounding ego trips between totally anonymous people. Some really smart guys would be totally discredited just for making a bad trade as if that signified how bright they were. It was ridiculous. Everyone makes a bad trade sometimes…no exceptions. So I don’t participate at that level. It turns childish too fast.

    How about this assumption. See the last chart in the series linked below. You tell me…was that a head and shoulders pattern at the end of a decline (and that did in fact break down like most H&S patterns do) or was it just a…ah…ummmm….a…… “shape”?
     By the way, that post of yours was uncalled for. It is also totally unsubstantiated. What’s funny is that Glen just accuse me of taking cheap shots and then you do exactly what he is talking about. Perhaps you would care to comment on my posts about interest rates and inflation instead? You can find those on Doc’s Wednesday thread.

    I hate to tell you this Birdman, but unless the pattern you’re seeing activates AND delivers the measured target price, then it will have been just a shape. Shapes on charts that look like legitimate patterns are not unusual.
    As for your inflation and interest rates talk, I think it’s funny that you now accept many facts that you used to fight with me about two years ago. And it’s not just those subjects. You used to attack me and others for saying things that you now appear to agree with. I just haven’t pointed them out.

    Look at the chart I posted. It is not an assumption. It is a fact that a H&S formed and then broke down at the base of a long decline. You should not limit your technical viewpoint to the extent you cannot see what is obvious.
    That is called a bias based on preconceived notions and will limit your ability to think clearly when you encounter patterns that are slightly different yet potentially meaningful.
    In my case I have already acknowledged that this particular H&S on gold is problematic however I have not ruled out that it could still be significant. So this is a watch and see until we get more confirmation is all. What I have done is point out a possible break down is coming.

    I never mentioned Catholics. Go back and read the comment and don’t put words in my mouth. I merely expressed a personal opinion. EVERY comment on this site, (including yours) are personal opinions Glenfiddish, whether they be the racist garbage spewed by a few white supremacists who come here or the Israel haters or pro-gun lobby or the gay basher’s or the Fed haters or the anti-abortion crowd. Do you see censorship on this blog? So go and judge elsewhere unless you want to limit yourself to being politically correct and devoid of an opinion about the issues that surround us all. Who gives a damn if I don’t think much about organized religion anyway?….NOBODY!
    Anyway, this just proves my point. None of you people want to talk economics. You are all obsessed with personal slights and the characteristics of the people posting rather than the topics offered up.
    I invited you and others to discuss interest rates an inflation. Nobody spent a minute posting a single word. Instead I get treated to an essay from you about your own moral high ground and what is wrong with my opinion.

    I believe in Jesus 100% but the religious leaders have turned it into a business. Therefore I don’t go to a church. And I believe that any religion that calls for any killing of innocent people isn’t a religion, its more like a cult. If you want to talk Israel sometime I would be interested.

    Big Al & Cory – Please note that these are just 3 months of posts from your blog that are already up right now for the world to see. Again, is this the kind of environment you want to foster for your readers, contributing speakers or sponsors?

    I think it is painfully obvious who some of the problem children are and that moderation is needed moving forward – as much as I really hate that.

    We all asked Birdman to chill multiple times over 3 months and many people left due to his combative conversation style. Nothing was done about it earlier in the year. Next came Original JJ……You don’t even want to read the hostility in his posts, but he luckily removed himself.

    The question is: How many readers and listeners left because they didn’t want to be exposed to this kind of childish and rude dialogue from posters?

        Since Birdman is so wise and likes to take shots at everyone on this site, maybe he explain why he should be allowed to talk like he does, post hate speech against religions, and spew negativity freely. If it’s all good and acceptable, then maybe people can read these posts up for all to see on the blog and decide if they even want to communicate with trouble poster that has run off more people than any other poster on this site.

        Cheers!

          Despite his hatred toward religions, as anyone can read in the blog above, these are some of the most glaring contradictions from Birdman’s comments yesterday and today compared to how he felt 3 months ago. He was the one calling for moderation, to stay on topic, and stop with religious talks. Now he’s done a birdy flip-flop.

          Wow Birdman – I didn’t realize you had made all the points I made yesterday 3 months ago. Why the change of heart Mr. Positive?

          Seriously, you’re comments are so much more offensive to Catholics than anything Franky ever posted. Check out Glenfidish’s response to you below, that Big Al and Cory did nothing about back in April.

          Surely, the comments that Birdman has been making on the site all year are far worse than anything Franky posted. But hey, let’s not moderate them, let’s let his hate speech keep repelling new and old listeners alike.

          Big Al – do you have any idea how many people Birdman has run off over the last year? A few of them are mentioned down below.

          ****Also see Jody’s comments below – she was asking you to do something about Birdman in and the bickering in April, but he just kept on and continues to this day as his comments above reflect. Why am I now the bad guy for pointing out that the site has lost focus, and has become a breeding ground for the kinds of conversations reposted below from your blog?

          Once a free content message board reaches the level of abrasive discourse and clear division that this one has, it’s very difficult for it ever to recover.

          At some point in the future it will simply become too undesirable and not worth anyone’s time to come here and wade through the divergent personalities and endless infighting.

          Unfortunately, I myself bare some responsibility in the big scheme of things as a longtime guest and contributor here. Often times I have been guilty of poor behavior and that was and is unfortunate on my part.

          Hopefully cooler heads, maturity and a more humble form of opinionated bravado can prevail (not censorship) and we can get back to making this a more civil self governing place that Big Al can once again be proud of as the owner and host and for all of us to enjoy a great dialog of globally diverse opinions.

I didn’t think people would realize the magnitude of the problem unless they could see 3 months worth of the nonsense we’ve all had to endure.

            Is it really necessary to post this entire story in multiple threads ?
            Surely you can get your very own personal point across by only posting it once in one particular thread ?
            Its a real pain in the @rse trying to scroll all the way through it on a smart phone just to get to the hard asset comments that I come here for.
            Please…enough is enough mate !

            Jun 29, 2015 29:09 PM

            Agreed Skeeta. I was being purposely dramatic to make a point that is a real pain in the arse and has been all year to scroll through all the negative comments and bickering from many posters. I’ve been coming here for about 3 years and have always tried to be positive, share investing charts, articles, stock picks and valid comments.

            I am in complete agreement with you about wanting to just focus on Investing ideas for hard assets. That was my point to Big Al and Cory yesterday. Instead Birdman (one of the most negative posters on here for years) mocked it, and said he liked talking about religion and politics and didn’t want any moderating. Big Al said he found the topics of religion and politics “Fascinating”. I haven’t found posts like this fascinating. I am here for investing ideas, and don’t mind having fun, but think the majority of the blog has been diverging from hard assets comments.

            That was the point.

            Jun 29, 2015 29:21 PM

            Shad,
            I enjoy the comments of many posters here (yours included).
            I do not enjoy scrolling through needless, constant, regurgitated spam on many threads to get to them though.
            I’m well aware that you are intelligent enough to make your point without needing to do that.
            So why do it on so many threads ?
            It only comes across as attention seeking & childish…..it also p*sses me off trying to get past it on a smart phone screen.
            Your better than that imo….but not today.

            Jun 29, 2015 29:32 PM

            Well thanks for your thoughts Skeeta…. Again, it was meant to make a point about why the free-for-all bickering in the blog had become tiresome for many bloggers. It gets old wading through all the negative comments, and many have left this site as a result. I mentioned it was an issue and everyone just brushed it off. It’s hard to brush off the negative passages of the blog for 3 months.

            I am personally sorry to anyone is inconvenienced by those KER comments, but that was the point – to address the problem by illustrating the problem.

            It’s hard to ignore it – just like we all have to deal with every day.

            Jun 29, 2015 29:51 PM

            Uh no….that was a personal attack aimed at shutting down the conversation you don’t approve of and it is being veiled now as an educational piece to enlighten everyone about your political correctness. Maybe you think nobody can see through it?

            You seem obsessive. Have you considered a holiday? I hear Greece is quite affordable.

            A Listener

            I responded to you on the other blog that I just was reading 1984 and am a huge fan of both George Orwell and free speech. However, there are things like manners, professional conduct, and trying to create a welcome environment. No, I’m not a fan of endless bickering, negative comments, and all the religious and political discussions that often divide the blog not unify it. If you like reading arguments then rock on, but I’m here for investing only (maybe a little humor).

            I also spent quite a great deal of time making sure Franky didn’t get banned the first time, and was sad to see him get banned the second time. However, he never posted anything as negative as the comments above towards multiple people on this site. Check out the comments I was making to Mark Alan (in a friendly discussion) about just skimming over the trouble spots and on all comments being welcome a few weeks ago.

            I do agree in free speech and expression (I’m a techno DJ that hangs out at Burning Man each year) I also work for a technology company… So attorney or clerk as professions is hilarious to me 🙂

            Having said that the Turd Furguson “GUIDELINES” seemed fitting this weekend, and you seem to have missed the point, that on private site posting is not a Right but a Privilege, and if someone is going to attack the other posters like Birdman, Orignal JJ, or James the lesser did recently, then Al & Cory don’t have to leave those negative comments up now do they?

            11) Have fun and be respectful. Share quality information. This site is about and for you, not The Turd. To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin: The Turd has given you the site you deserve. Now, can you keep it?”

    so I have tried very much to post when the blogs are
    inactive. However, I have got caught in these catch 22’s
    and its been very painful for me to walk away from my
    responsibility to defend my beliefs as others do read this
    board. I want people to know the truth.

    I can assure you I will not be posting any longer. Has absolutely
    nothing to do with this incident. In fact, I made the mistake of
    posting one time over the weekend that started this outrageous
    vicious exchanging of posts.

    Your a great guy and gentleman Shad. I complete understand
    your concerns and apologize deeply for my oversights when
    posting. This site needs your great contribution. You deserve
    a lot of praise.

    Take good care and my very best to you always !!!

      Jun 29, 2015 29:16 PM

      Thanks HH. I appreciate it and appreciate that you felt compelled to stick up for what you believe in.

      As mentioned above, I posted this thread to make a dramatic point, that sometimes there is so much of the back and forth in certain debates, that it gets overwhelming in a post. I am just here for an investing focus, and made the point at the beginning of the weekend show encouraging people to be nice, not so controversial, and encouraged a free exchange of investing and economic ideas. I mentioned that discussions around faith and politics can get heated up, but Al thought they were fascinating. I am a fan of free speech as much as anyone on here, but don’t think Big A and Cory had really looked at what many people were posting on the site. I am not sure the comments from this very blog in Jan-April were the family feel, or image that they’d want broadcast to the investing universe.

      Maybe some people will be upset that this blog is inconvenient, but that is how many of us feel every day watching all the bickering; so I made my point by demonstrating the point.

        Jun 29, 2015 29:29 PM

        Sorry for all your efforts..Shad.

        I could comment much further
        but it wouldn’t do any good.

        Been there and done that !!!!

          Jun 29, 2015 29:35 PM

          Understood. I think the point was made in general and appreciate you thoughts. I hope the people that post on the blog in the future at least consider the impact they have when posting and that other people have to wade through all the comments. Cheers and have a good evening.

            Jun 29, 2015 29:39 PM

            Shad, thanks. Hang in there !!!!

            Best always OK !!!!!

            Jun 29, 2015 29:31 PM

            Best to you as well sir!

      voice.

      To go email redundant because it doesn’t accomplish
      anymore than here.

      Your foolish idea and even talking about all your cowardly

            Good morning…Bill…

            Did you wake up on the right side of the bed today.

            I will now apologize and say I’m sorry for the words
            we exchanged. Most, if not all of it was joking around.

            Your a fun guy.

            Cool is the way. Peace be with you.

    Jun 30, 2015 30:44 AM

    .

    Jul 01, 2015 01:26 AM

    Final analysys. You need a friend. One that will put up with you or seek Counseling.
    Wrong side of the bed ? Nope $8700.00 2 days work. Nope

      Jul 01, 2015 01:50 AM

      Bill…please….its good money makes no comparison
      to my earnings. Actually, its bread crumbs and your
      way out of league.

      Thats okay. You can continue to believe your bread
      crumbs is a lot of money.

      Dreeeee..eeem…dream..dream…dream….

      You really are…a funny guy.. you really are.

      Haaaaa..Haaaaa…. hilarious. .. LOL 🙂 LOL

      I’m sorry, I can’t stop laughin. !!! Thanks man for
      the big big laughs.

        Jul 01, 2015 01:05 AM

        Whats coming down the pike ..Bill.

        Forget 2009.

        Its going to wipe the floor with everyone.

        BUCKLE UP…COWBOY. !!!!

        North America especially is going to burn.

        ANNIHILATION AND COMPLETE DISTRUCTION.

        I’ll be in N.Z…..have fun !!!!!!

          Jul 01, 2015 01:17 AM

          Nope
          It ain’t going to happen. I know personally 2 of the best fund managers and they say NOPE….They turned 200 million to cash in 2009. They are better than I. Your dreaming.
          Were is your factual analysis on why?! Its just a guess right? How the hell do you invest in a guess? Call Bob he will help you with that….

            Jul 01, 2015 01:31 AM

            Bill…you have my blessings. Your going to lose
            everything but that’s entirely not your fault.

            Past performance is not indicative of future results.

            WE ARE ENTERING A NEW PARADIGM.

            You either realize it or not.

            That new paradigm will crush everything in sight.

            HAVE FUN !!!!

            Jul 01, 2015 01:35 AM

            No guess btw. Those funds managers must
            sell their service and product.

            No one is going to tell you and most likely
            they don’t know.

            WHY. ?? ..ITS A…BIG BIG SURPRISE. Like a fatal car accident.

            Funny how you gloss over everything. Best of luck. !!

    Jul 01, 2015 01:15 AM

    People on this board are completely comatose
    to the truth and the major destruction thats
    assured to happen soon.

    Their still sitting on the couch while the house
    has caught blaze.

    No more warning from me. Good news for those
    that love to stay unconscious.

    I’M DONE HERE. Time to leave Babylon.

    Jul 01, 2015 01:51 AM

    HH
    If you want to call me names and a liar that Im full of Sht Ill post my earnings or trades…Hell Ill email ya them.

      Jul 01, 2015 01:04 AM

      Bill…I thought today was a new day.

      I don’t live in the past. Post your trades
      if you want to be a real legitimate champ
      because no one is going to believe you.

      BTW….I do not need the inconveniences
      going through your trades.

      Its real simple to post and time stamp it.

      Those that don’t should not have any
      credibility. Too much deceit on these
      boards. All fraud !!!!!

        Jul 01, 2015 01:10 AM

        Also, it doesn’t matter to me
        anymore..Bill.

        I got better plans and posting
        here does me no favors.

        Hopefully those that heed the
        warning are now doing something
        about it.

        I’m not sitting on this board any longer.

        On a new mission like I said.

    Jul 01, 2015 01:10 AM

    Nut man..wasn’t going to send you all my trades. Ya $9000 is chump eh? LOL Liar

      Jul 01, 2015 01:19 AM

      Bill, your out of your mind.

      I have no use for your behavior.

      Full of arrogance and extremely ignorant.

      BTW…what the hell you telling me for.

      Goes to prove your a loonie tune..braggin
      to me.

      Still…your a chump because nothing
      has been time stamped and posted.

      Ha….all mine are.

      Truth hurts…I’m the true champion.

      All you are is a FRAUD !!!!

    Jul 01, 2015 01:20 AM

    HA…HA….MR. BILL FRAUD !!!!! LOL 🙂 LOL

      Jul 01, 2015 01:27 AM

      One more thing….are you consistent.

      You do that every day you… drawf..

      Sitting behind your computer.

      If not, is micro crumbs… Ha .Ha….

      Your such a..FRAUD !!!! and a dwarf….

    Jul 01, 2015 01:35 AM

    Whats wrong ….Bill..

    Did you step in some more dog duty.

    You must be up to your eye balls by now.

    LOL 🙂 LOL

    Jul 01, 2015 01:59 AM

    Maybe God can help you LOL…Do you have a computer implant?

      Jul 01, 2015 01:13 PM

      That’s why I pray every day.

      Need all the help I can get.

      At least I admit it.

      Unlike most who just think
      they are good.

      So, get on your knees before the
      Almighty God and repent before
      it’s too late.

      Hell is for eternity..Bill.

      Our money will not buy us
      deliverance from the Almighty
      God.

      Tread carefully. May you realize
      what your doing ..before its too
      late.

    Jul 01, 2015 01:06 PM

    Your the gut CAAAAACHING $$$$$ all the time LOL Everytime you post it seems your talking about yourself….
    Flying this baby next week.

      Jul 01, 2015 01:21 PM

      That’s funny..Bill.

      You couldn’t pay me enough to
      get in that big noisy flying pig.

      I do understand though. Your like
      a 3 year old first time to fly on a
      airplane.

      Make sure you get a diaper change
      before boarding.

      Mr. Poopie Pants… will stink it up.

      LOL 🙂 LOL

    Jul 01, 2015 01:29 PM

    You know…Bill…

    I was dead on about you.

    JUST A …..BIG..BIG..BAG OF WIND !!!!

    Ha..Ha… LOL 🙂 LOL

    Jul 01, 2015 01:29 PM

    Enjoy Ground Hog Day here. Same shit different day. Wow fun…
    Id rather roll in my own poop. Pooh signing off…

    Jul 01, 2015 01:07 PM

    Bipolar are we?

      Jul 01, 2015 01:37 PM

      Bill…just can’t behave…

      The warped comments and
      his evil heresy continues.

        Jul 01, 2015 01:05 PM

        So..Bill..when you finally reach
        that day and God tells you that
        you have sinned against him.
        God says your sins are not
        covered because you have
        refused the truth.

        Anyway, something to consider
        and the sooner the better.

        Eternal damnation is eternal and
        forever.

    Jul 02, 2015 02:44 AM

    Hahaha. Do you see the comments from other annoyed guests on this blog.
    Your a waist of air.

      Jul 02, 2015 02:04 AM

      Too bad Bill….I’ve been right about everything.

      The truth hurts. Doesn’t it.

      Your loss !!!!!

        Jul 02, 2015 02:11 AM

        FYI…I said the stock market was a pig over 6 months
        ago.

        I said the metals wouldn’t go anywhere over 6 months ago.
        Both the bears and the bulls have been wrong.

        Economic calamity is now a foregone conclusion like I said
        6 months ago.

        All my trades are bulls eyes except one in over 12 months.

        Yes, the truth hurts….I’m the true champion !!!!!

          Jul 02, 2015 02:19 AM

          You listen to people here its the best way to
          lose your money.

          Ha….dreamers and Harvey Organ….Jim Willie

          All wanabes. !!! True failures

            Jul 02, 2015 02:19 AM

            KWN..these people live by this garage.

    Jul 02, 2015 02:20 AM

    Garbage.

    Jul 02, 2015 02:25 AM

    And oil is sitting at 50 and these people
    here are still dreaming about 2000 or
    even 50,000 gold.

    NOW THATS FUNNY AS HELL.

    Here we are over 6 months later.

    I was ridiculed for my analysis.

      Jul 02, 2015 02:30 AM

      My warning are now over. If people can’t
      see this calamity coming now then its
      hopeless.

      Only reason I was posting. Thats over now.

        Jul 02, 2015 02:00 AM

        Ha…the whole world is preparing for war.

        But….Bill is as blind as a bat with everyone
        in here.

        All they know is what they learn here and
        KWN types.

        This place is not a learning center.

        We are going into a complete cardiac arrest
        and you would never know it coming in
        here.

          Jul 02, 2015 02:05 AM

          Then you have Sprott who will sell everyone
          down the river.

          Thats their goal. They take their cut and could
          give a hoot. Lining their own pockets.

          ALL THEY CARE ABOUT.

    Jul 02, 2015 02:21 AM

    Funny I agree with you. Sprott, KWN all goof balls. I read a couple people and their bang on. I emailed Eric King and said his site was an absolute joke 3 years ago..He responded with massive profanity. I emailed Sprott as well I never heard back LOL
    I SAID the DOW would rally 3 years ago to Moriarty and he said gold would go to the moon then….HAHAHA Its done nothing but been in a bear phase..
    War maybe in the Cards. The Chinnese are invading country’s right now….

      Jul 02, 2015 02:57 AM

      Thats why I’m done in here too.

      As you know the BS is more than knee high in
      here. Not your fault but since I have been here
      you have no idea all the fraud that goes on.

      Hope you understand my position, as I do yours.

      In fact, its precisely what your eluding to. Regarding
      the Chinese invading. They are retro fitting all their
      shipping vessels for war. All of them. Its law now.

      Either N. America gets nuked (not what they want )
      or the most common way to take over a nation by
      the enemy is to invade and enslave all of its citizens.

      History is clear on this. Guess what…there is no mercy.
      Posters here are cheering China and new financial system.

      China will not help us. They will walk in here with armies
      and enslave us.

      I know we are headed for a complete disaster just don’t
      know how it all unfolds. We are now entering the new
      paradigm. Its already started.

      America has already been invaded by the enemy.

      Now its a physical take over and to over throw
      everything. Most likely scenario you will see anarchy
      next year. Not this year. However, it will ensue no
      later than this time next year.

      People can believe what they want like all these
      gold pumpers.

      They are in here stroking their dreams. Thats all
      coming to an end soon. Time to get real.

      We are faced now with a life threatening crisis.

        Jul 02, 2015 02:15 AM

        You will not hear this anywhere because
        its business as usual. The gold propaganda
        people who merchandise, the fund managers,
        and most must be level headed to insure the
        masses keep doing business with them.

        All have a method to their madness. To sell,
        merchandise or however they line their own
        pockets.

        So, don’t expect anyone to tell us whats next.

        So, when things were to get critical it never
        happened. Now, when it goes critical no one
        is going to tell us.

        Thats how it always is. We must be a leaders
        not followers. This board is the same BS.

          Jul 02, 2015 02:17 AM

          Level headed meaning…they can’t cross
          certain thresholds because people will
          think their crazy and won’t do business
          with them.

            Jul 02, 2015 02:23 AM

            Conventional Wisdom or the status quo
            never made anyone highly successful.

            Its always been the thinkers that go, where
            no one could ever imagine.

          Jul 02, 2015 02:12 PM

          Looks like you guys are having fun………glad to see all is working out. Funny how disagreements can come around when there is meeting of the minds and some common interest.
          HH……….if you get to N.Z. remember to write……..
          As I have stated before., just a trade and a cycle with gold….everything changes, all dogs(investments) have their day…….nothing new under the sun

            Jul 02, 2015 02:22 PM

            Thanks Jerry, unfortunately you are way overly
            optimistic than I am.

            This is not the America I grew up in. God Bless America
            is over. Not going to celebrate the 4th either.

            O..has destroyed it and its only just begun.

            We are falling and now its all going to burn.

            Jul 02, 2015 02:27 PM

            We are not celebrating the 4th either……kind of a joke at this point. Optimistic , only to the point we have a heads up on the outcome.

            Jul 02, 2015 02:41 PM

            I may a comment to a guy that I may never repeat the Pledge of Allegiance again, but, you know, what will that really accomplish? I will simply continue to be outspoken because in many other countries we could not be doing what we are doing on this site.

            Jul 02, 2015 02:36 PM

            The outcome is going to be horrible.

            You can’t raise a family here anymore
            without corrupting all our childrens minds
            and poisoning them.

            With an abomination that God absolutely
            despises.

            America is done. The papers are signed
            for judgment. IMHO

            Jul 02, 2015 02:37 PM

            I am probably going to make a lot of folks angry, Heavy, but I agree to a large extent and I hope that I am wrong, my friend.

            Jul 02, 2015 02:54 PM

            Big AL…coming from you and highly respect your
            excellent judgment brings tears to my eyes.

            Its a sad time for our nation. .Big AL…it makes me
            so sick you have no idea.

            I’m so sorry and apologize. I know the situation you
            are in too. With the business and you can’t just rant
            on regarding this matter.

            In needs to be kept in the back office here off the
            active boards.

            Jul 02, 2015 02:55 PM

            Al………..Like Ricky Nelson said in his song Garden Party……..”can’t please everyone, may as well please yourself”

            Jul 02, 2015 02:57 PM

            great comments by Both you guys……..Al, and HH……..

            Jul 02, 2015 02:00 PM

            Owl.has a great site…..as I have said for years……hope it holds together, for as long as necessary…………..jootb

            Jul 02, 2015 02:09 PM

            Jerry, I agree.

            He’s a very good man…that Big AL.

            or OWL .. lol

            Jul 02, 2015 02:17 PM

            ROMANS 5 : 1-7 ……….

            Jul 02, 2015 02:50 PM

            I think what Big AL is missing here everything is
            about to change radically in the next 12 months.

            We are now just about to enter the storm.

            All are freedom’s will be thown out the window soon.

            Lets not assume everything will not change.

            That’s coming !!!! Like day going into night.

    Gold is one of the biggest con games going.
    I can’t stand gold bugs. Golds not going anywhere…posted that last year.
    The whole system is Fukd for the middle class..
    There is trouble but maybe we just see a gradual invasion from the Chinese as whats happening here. They own food production, manufacturing, Resources all the local businesses are being bought. They may not ave to fire a shot…they are the Borg. Can’t stand most of them….I’m married to a Flip and she use to call me prejudice until they stared invading the Philippines.

      Jul 02, 2015 02:52 PM

      Yep, your right. People get sucked into the hype.

      I really believe there’s a profound difference of
      someone who worships gold and one who has
      gold because it doesn’t hurt to have some.

      You get nauseous because they dwell on it.

      Then they believe they will become rich. Its
      a lotto ticket right now. The Western World
      wants to dispose of it in our monetary system.

      Laws are forthcoming I believe too. It doesn’t
      look good. Have to see how it all plays out.

      China may not have to fire a shot. I totally agree.

      You can’t trust the Chinese like you said.

      However, this crisis looks likely to unfold much
      quicker than you imply. I guess we will all find
      out soon.

      Anyway, looks very serious to me because lots
      of time is spent researching. IMHO…this is it
      and the tragedy kicks in this fall. Most likely
      scenario crash from that point until next fall.
      Shredding to pieces mostly everything. One
      full year of panic. Anarchy etc.

      IMHO…the rest is a pipe dream. In fact, I have
      no reservations its not going to happen.

      The only mystery is, does everything implode
      much sooner. IMHO

      Thats what I don’t know !!!

    Jul 02, 2015 02:19 PM

    Bigold is moving but its a tiny market…Bullion will struggle as the USD stays strong.

      Jul 02, 2015 02:00 PM

      I saw that but how much capital can one risk
      on a crap shoot. I’m not missing anything.

      Its not in my investment philosophy.

        Jul 02, 2015 02:10 PM

        Agree with all your comments….

          Jul 02, 2015 02:38 PM

          We agree…no bueno…crap shoot.

    Jul 02, 2015 02:43 PM
      Jul 02, 2015 02:06 PM

      True and they won’t majority of the time.

      The whole world is going to get a wake up
      call regarding who’s running things.

      The 99 percenters are not part of the plan.

      Ha…guess what..our animals on the planet
      including sea life are going extinct next 10
      years.

      Its no joke. In 10 years we will not have much
      left.

      So, tell me the future looks bright. Pollutants
      are killing the planet.

        Jul 02, 2015 02:13 PM

        HH……left you a note above………

          Jul 02, 2015 02:15 PM

          I might have to refine my note, after reading the 10 yr. plan………

            Jul 02, 2015 02:29 PM

            Yes, Jerry..thanks a million

            Left you a message above.

            Appreciate your input and comments.

            Jerry, you know I’m set in my ways now.

            IMHO…hells .bells…America is…finished.

            Ha..Ha..brother Jerry. .cased closed..over here yonder.

            Jul 02, 2015 02:39 PM

            Where there i life there is hope, Heavy.

            I am starting to wonder just how much good this pessimism is doing.

            Jul 02, 2015 02:33 PM

            ditto on the great comments….appreciate your botherhood………jootb.

            Jul 02, 2015 02:52 PM

            There can always be hope. I don’t worry about all the issues everyday as it way to big.
            HH just gets HEAVY sometimes that’s why he drives me nuts but he is not wrong of the facts. If people become aware and then mountains can be moved…We better get on it though…

            Jul 02, 2015 02:03 PM

            Well Big AL, you can’t throw your middle finger up
            at God like we are doing.

            It won’t work, its not going to be a blessing and its
            going to end in complete tragedy.

            Anyone who believes any differently is turning from
            the truth.

            Judgment is here and its going to be a disaster.

            Jul 02, 2015 02:19 PM

            Here’s what everyone needs to realize.

            America is now occupied by the enemy.

            To believe we have government who represents
            the people is a complete lie.

            What we have is the enemy who plans on ripping
            and dismantling this once great loved nation into
            pieces.

            Make no mistake about this. Please !!!!

            Jul 02, 2015 02:24 PM

            I would have to agree……HH…..

            Jul 02, 2015 02:14 PM

            O…is much worse than your worst
            imagination.

            He’s no lame duck. He has the powers
            now to a accomplish his goals

            People have been taken in by him.

            Even the doomers are going to be shocked.

            America is finish. Believe me..I know !!!

            Jul 02, 2015 02:26 PM

            Now they will really rub everyone’s noses
            in the gay lifestyle. Like I said all the schools
            will be sticking the kids noses in it and trying
            to make it stick. It will be in all the private schools
            and no way to overcome this abomination.

            There’s no escaping the sexual perversion
            that will come out of this either.

            Then again people want to believe everything
            will be OK, are completely unconscious.

        Jul 02, 2015 02:15 PM

        Yup the seas are dying…I live beside the Ocean…Now the Chinchins are moving in and vacuuming up whats left..Our scum bag drug dealing mayor is in China inviting them over now their building schools for them only in this small town…

          Jul 02, 2015 02:25 PM

          Oh ya..Bill. This is a take over.

          Keep your eyes open. Going to be tragic soon.

            Jul 02, 2015 02:32 PM

            Tower 7 was blown for a reason…

            Jul 02, 2015 02:38 PM

            Bill…..I think you are on the right track…………j

          Jul 02, 2015 02:55 PM

          And comments about our mayor are true. Know his family for 40 years and now he owns half the town lining sweet heart deals for himself. My buddy is a cop and they tried to investigate him but he sicked his lawyers on the RCMP…Walking conflict of interest. This is how things a rolling EVERY where..

            Jul 02, 2015 02:13 PM

            We have major lawlessness.

            The criminals are in charge.

            Excellent info..Bill

    Jul 02, 2015 02:16 PM

    If you connect all the moving parts and
    pieces to this puzzle you will discover
    we are on our last breaths facing globalists
    who actually own this planet so they believe
    they must act now to save it/preserve it.

    This is only one fraction of all the moving
    pieces in this puzzle.

    So no, it’s here. Its going to get real ugly.

      Jul 02, 2015 02:30 PM

      It may just be the new norm? Canada’s gov can’t wait to have the Chinese move in and boost the tax base. Burning fossil fuels is bad so they carbon tax us then push the Olympics through (HUGE CARBON FOOT PRINT) and we need to build more house’s to keep the economy going. So burning fuel = economy but not environmentally friendly.. Hypocrites…I want them all to hang..

    Jul 02, 2015 02:34 PM

    Their killing the loonie and retirees are going broke with no yield..I bought $100K USD last week to get some out of this Toilet paper currency..

    Great comments Bill. Thanks for the info.

    Very informative! !!

    Like or not hes pretty bang on…Put the kids to bed if your going to listen.
    I know the Sprott group ads on this site. I use to have loot directly at their firm. I frequently sent James Fox research and when they were small and NOT resource nuts the Hedge / equity fund pused 20-30% a year…Now they are a disaster…Blew them off years ago..

      Jul 02, 2015 02:59 PM

      Good info.

      Then again, Ha…..I only listen to me.

      Towin the line !!!

    Jul 02, 2015 02:16 PM

    If you provide research professionally then you do it independently. Not like most read others and copy crap them. Their just repeaters and usless.

      Jul 02, 2015 02:39 PM

      Couldn’t agree more. Lots of fraud out there.

      Here’s my philosophy. If I don’t know all the
      protocols and investment risk reward and
      need someone else to instruct me based
      on what they believe I should keep my money
      parked in the bank.

      Ha…now we have a new paradigm kicking in
      IMHO and major fortunes will be lost.

      We are going into uncharted waters. 500 year
      cycle. Time will prove it and we are now entering
      this unwelcomed dark age. Gold most likely, will
      not deliver those who think it will.

      Right now, I’m not keen on listening to anyone
      out there. Brutal times ahead.

    Jul 02, 2015 02:58 PM

    Also, gentleman. We are in a ..Butt F…major
    war cycle.

    Like TNT …shoved up someones arse….

    IS A COMPLETE GAME CHANGER…..UNPREDICTABLE !!!

      Jul 02, 2015 02:03 PM

      MAJOR COLLATERAL DAMAGE AHEAD.

      Things can change without one moments
      notice.

      Hello….major war cycle..we are in it.

      All the way till 2022.

        Jul 02, 2015 02:12 PM

        This is not fear mongering, this
        is the true state of affairs.

        All these major cycles are all
        converging at the same time.

        HA….ITS NO…B.S. EITHER.

        The bubble heads don’t have a clue.

        ALL HELL IS GOING TO BREAK LOOSE.

        You have the news before it happens.

        ODDS…Because I’m an odds guy…

      Then ..Beddie Bye !!!!

    Big AL…if your out there. .

    Thanks for the memories
    AL’S Insights on Thursdays
    board.

    Thats all they are now Big AL.

    Unfortunately, we have a major
    tragedy in this nation. Very very
    sad as our great nation falls from
    grace. IMHO.

    The family is under severe attack
    now. America has already been
    judged and now being sentenced.

    We have a date with punishment.

    God is not going to strive with this
    attack on the family and abominations.
