      What a load of BS, Ithought zerohedge was better than that.
      There was no panic!

      It was just standard procedure for the bullion banks. If you weren’t expecting the Friday takedown from the commercials, you should not be in the bullion market.

      Not much of a take down for $5billion dump.

    96% Of Clinton Donations Went To The Clinton Foundation

    Moments ago, when we showed the newly released Clinton 2015 tax return, we posted a rhetorical question: “how much of the Clinton charity donations went to the Clinton Foundation? Taking a deduction for contributing to the employer of your daughter and expense payer of your husband is awesome.”

    We now know the answer: as page 29 of the tax return reveals, of the $1,042,000 in charitable cash contributions, exactly $1 million went to, you guessed it, the Clinton Family Foundation, whose expenses pay among others those Clinton family members and friends employed by the foundation, like Chelsea Clinton who happens to be the foundation’s Vice Chair. Is this the ultimate Clinton reacharound?

        Uranium One, Wheaton River, Silver Wheaton, Gold Corp all have things in common?

        Frank Giustra, right, a mining financier, has donated $31.3 million to the foundation run by former President Bill Clinton, left

        Frank Giustra is president and chief executive officer of Fiore Financial Corporation, a private firm managing a broad portfolio of private equity investments. Frank has an established track record of building natural resource companies through access to capital and creative deal-making. As president and later chairman and chief executive officer of Yorkton Securities in the 1990s, he grew the firm into a leading natural resource investment bank. As chairman of Endeavour Financial from 2001 to 2007, his vision and leadership led to the successful launch of numerous resource companies, including Wheaton River Minerals (acquired by Goldcorp), Silver Wheaton, and Pacific Rubiales Energy. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/24/us/cash-flowed-to-clinton-foundation-as-russians-pressed-for-control-of-uranium-company.html?_r=0

        Hacked DNC File: Fears over Hidden Clinton Foundation Donations from Former Russian Uranium Exec

        On Tuesday, hacked Democratic National Committee (DNC) files released by the Guccifer 2.0 hacker reveal circulated talking points intended to combat the Clinton Cash revelation that the former head of the Russian uranium company UraniumOne, Ian Telfer, made four undisclosed Clinton Foundation donations totaling $2.35 million—a clear violation of Hillary Clinton’s ethics agreement with the Obama administration to disclose all donations.

        In an April 29, 2015 memo titled “Friends and Allies Talking Points—Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership (CGEP),” Clinton surrogates were instructed to respond to questions about undisclosed foreign donations by Ian Telfer, a Canadian, accordingly:

        This is hardly an effort on the Foundation’s part to avoid transparency. In fact, the main donor noted in the Post article as contributing to CGEP (Canada) — Canadian businessman Ian Telfer — was also disclosed as a Foundation donor. So the fact of his status as a Foundation contributor was not at all a secret.

    Metals bulls don’t want to see a big drop next week. If / when it starts, it’s going to be a biggie. And crude oil is suspect too. It’s amazing so many are bullish metals given the technicals on the daily and weekly charts. The monthly still looks good, for now.

      Aug 12, 2016 12:47 PM

      Wrong since January – that is 8 months. Sure, when the metals and PM stocks SEEM to drop, you show up and SEEM to be correct. Convenient?

      Could you possibly spend your negative energy somewhere else?

        Aug 12, 2016 12:06 PM

        Just cause they “might” drop, does not make it negative. It’s a buying opportunity.

          Aug 12, 2016 12:12 PM

          Oh, and Brian, I will remind you about January 20th, where I called the bottom of many commodities and emerging markets ” On That Day”! And had a lot of upside since.

    Hillary PAC Spends $1 Million to ‘Correct’ Commenters on Reddit and Facebook

    Citing “lessons learned from online engagement with ‘Bernie Bros,’” a pro-Hillary Clinton Super PAC is pledging to spend $1 million to “push back against” users on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit and Instagram.

    Correct the Record’s “Barrier Breakers” project boasts in a press release that it has already “addressed more than 5,000 people that have personally attacked Hillary Clinton on Twitter.” The PAC released this on Thursday.
