March 7, 2018

Cohn’s resignation has captured a lot of the headlights today and Chris Temple and I comment on the news but there is a bigger story to consider. This story is the potential of escalating trade wars. We heard from the Bank Of Canada that they are concerned about as well so they held off on a further rate hike. We comment on what this could mean for the bigger picture.

    Chris, you do realize that Cohn was in favor of the Paris accord on Climate change.

      One of the key Democrats behind the Trump-Russia push has been Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), who recently admitted on The View that no evidence of Russian collusion exists.

    Wow, if Trump hadn’t won, this country would’ve been dead meat.

      It’s terrifying to even consider where The US would be with Ma Barker running The White House. DT

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump’s plan to impose tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum .
    President Donald Trump’s trade and manufacturing adviser says the president’s planned tariffs for steel and aluminum imports would not immediately apply to Canada and Mexico.
    The adviser, Peter Navarro, tells Fox Business that Trump intends to sign a proclamation including such a clause favoring the U.S. neighbors.
    Navarro says the tariffs would go into effect within 15 to 30 days.
    While the White House signaled earlier that an announcement from Trump was expected Thursday afternoon, official are now saying it should come by the end of the week.

      Good interview…………

        Mar 08, 2018 08:13 AM

        Early is correct……better early than late…….. 🙂

          Mar 08, 2018 08:58 AM

          Agreed. The early bird gets the worm.

            Mar 08, 2018 08:28 AM

            On the other hand, the early worm gets the bird. Perspective. 😉

            Mar 08, 2018 08:37 AM

            That would be a pretty big worm to take down a bird (lol)

            Mar 08, 2018 08:33 AM

            Not if the bird is dead…………

            Mar 08, 2018 08:08 PM

            Gotcha. Well since by early bird = investor and the worm = meal of low priced commodities before they take off in price, then I sincerely hope the bird is not dead.

            haha!

            Mar 08, 2018 08:48 PM

            Playing devils advocate, I’m saying that the early investor could end up like the worm if he’s too early and leveraged and/or easily scared. This is what makes trend investing so appealing to so many.
            I’m happy to break Stan Weinstein’s rules when buying thinly traded tiny caps but his approach is a very good one.

    2018/03/07 (Jiji Press)

    “Kansai Electric Power Co. plans to restart the No. 3 reactor at its Oi nuclear plant in Fukui Prefecture on March 14, company officials said Wednesday.”

    “The reactor went offline in September 2013 for routine inspections and has since been idle.”

    “Meanwhile, the power utility, based in Osaka, aims to resume operations of the No. 4 reactor at the same plant in the central Japan prefecture in mid-May after loading fuel into the unit in early April, also according to the officials.”

    No time just scanning these days….But Bobs right http://www.321gold.com/editorials/moriarty/moriarty030618.html
    These guys are idiots. I called them out and I mean called them about their stupid calls and putting investors at risk. The mulilti million dollar hedge fund I owned at Sprott I had dumped collapsed shortly after. Dont believe me James Fox head of sales at the time ( a very honest and conservative guy) got many calls from me with the discussion of the dangers that lay ahead…he was not the fund manager. I left that shit pile last ng ago. I use too repect John way back as he was RBC gold fund manager and was the best…..Whathappened to his brain???
    Today charts of oil, gold dope still look like crap….wow some oil stocks I jettisoned collapse 50% ish!! Commodities shit the bed in general and I did warn 6 weeks ago….so far all looks risky still. Good luk with your perpetual gold boom call Bob…When it does start Ill let you know. No broken clock calls from me…
