Chris Temple recaps the retails sales data released this morning and the IMF lowering Chinese GDP growth to under 6% by 2020. We are seeing the US dollar fall and precious metals move up. We are still not breaking out on any of the charts so all investors need to take note of the longer term trends in place when looking to invest.

    I don’t know, but my gut tells me they run out of physical gold before hitting $1300.
    If they choose only to knock down when physical markets are closed, they have time problems. It is going to be interesting.

    I think there is about a 100 year supply of gold above ground now, and from what I have been reading we are awash in silver as well.
    Just me but I think it will take something psychological to drive gold up significantly.
    The election? war?

    The amount of buy triggers south of $1308 would probably blow our collective minds right now. The market seems to be calling the Feds and their propagandists hands right now. They sense something large is going to occur in the next few months. Of the 30+ darkly tinted swans circling…what might it be? EVERYONE is PRAYING sub $1300 gold right now!!!!

    Yeah, what the h@ll does the uncertainty of the election have to do with going out and getting a frosty???

    And make America great again???

    Heck, I’d settle for making America mediocre again!

    How about you Mr. Big Al Korelin or Mr. T???

    “Make america great again” not that I would agree it was ever great, other than a short period of time around the war of independence. (maybe)

    But Hillory is a neocon, they are pressing China and Russia for war, Trump wants to do business with China and Russia, whatever the deals he makes (he figures he can make good ones) its not war he is talkin about.

    I could be wrong, but my gues his make america great again means he intends to create employment.
    He also stated he figures he can eliminate the debt, which he could if the fed stopped producing the currency.

      Well, B, how about if we make America good enough so people will want to go out and by a frosty and a chili? 🙂

            Frank and Snowden are in Siberia with Putin,playing putt putt golf,…they are waiting for Dumbo to leave office,and plan on getting a real job at Trump’s golf and resort,where they plan on having the KER family outing.
