Looking past the geopolitical issues for US markets, gold, bonds, and the USD

Chris Temple joins me to wrap up the markets for today. We look past the short term moves on the back of war fears to determine the overall trends for a wide range of markets. We can not ignore the trade wars and central bank policies but there are some other factors that will take hold this year.

    Why has the quality of the audio on the conversations with Chris been so bad lately. I can hardly understand him. Cory is coming in fine.

      Jan 07, 2020 07:25 PM

      I concur… sounds like he’s on the trendmill with some classic iPhone headphones moving close and then away =)

      The neocons and trumpy may just get what they want…a shooting war with Iran…watch the sheeple rally around the flag…Hope all you boys held the MIC stocks…

    Jan 07, 2020 07:37 PM

    Don’t worry boys…Communist News Network reporting 1 minute ago that Pompeo just arrived at the White House…

      Jan 07, 2020 07:00 PM

      Pelosi and Schrimer get invited…………..

        Jan 07, 2020 07:04 PM

        It’s turning into a real criminal convention…all of them hopping on that War Train.

          Jan 07, 2020 07:10 PM

          Wonder when the sheepl will wake up………
          All I heard at the beach today , was real estate talk…..

    I guess a lot of people said ‘For F**Ks sake’ in 1914 as well

    Jan 07, 2020 07:42 PM

    Supposedly more than a dozen missiles fired from Iran hit the Empire’s bases in Iraq…now you now Trumpy’s going to go ballistic. Looks like the neocons got their war with Iran…you can bet Booboo Nuttyyahoo and the rest of those jew jackles are dancing in the streets. Remember the Dancing Israeliars on 9/11?

    Jan 07, 2020 07:45 PM

    Jimmy better dust off his uniform…we’re at war, boys…Jimmy could be called up, right?

      Jan 07, 2020 07:54 PM

      Jimmy’s intel should have warned him…….

        Jan 07, 2020 07:58 PM

        Maybe Trumpy makes Bobby M come back to fly that F4….who better to fight the Iranians who still fly F4s?

          Jan 07, 2020 07:04 PM

          Bobby was flying Mustang Sallys… upside down underneath the Eiffel Tower…..

        Jan 07, 2020 07:01 PM

        Supposedly ballistic missiles launched from inside Iran…those would be big boy missiles…would think lots of casualties if they hit their mark…so the Empire takes it in the shorts…just what the neocons wanted to start a real shooting war with Iran.

          Jan 07, 2020 07:02 PM

          Just like Pearl Harbor when Roosievelt knew the attack was coming and used the fleet as bait.

            Jan 07, 2020 07:11 PM

            And more than knew it was coming…set it all up so the Japs would attack.

            Jan 07, 2020 07:13 PM

            The clueless sheeple have let 9/11 go………time for another venture in war profits…

          Jan 07, 2020 07:08 PM

          They have been after Iran…….in the bag of seven in five yrs. plan..Petriass …..(traitor)
          Lot of traitors in the bunch of generals for profit….

            Jan 07, 2020 07:14 PM

            Now CNN is reporting that Iran is threatening to attack the US mainland if the US retaliates for those missile strikes…AND CNN just announced the goooberment is increasing security around the White House… It would be a neocon wet dream come true if Iran made good on that promise and a bunch of American civilians got killed…MIC and “security” state would love it, too.

            We are disposable pawns in their game.

            Jan 07, 2020 07:31 PM

            Weird…that attack happened at least two or three hours ago and CNN is reporting no casualties…now why would Iran launch an attack that produced no casualties? They have to know an attack with missiles coming from within Iran is going to open them up to a full-on attack from Uncle Sugar. Seems to me if they were going to risk that they’d let lose with a devastating attack.

            Jan 07, 2020 07:35 PM

            No one killed, then Trump does not have to respond………
            Just target practice……..

            Jan 07, 2020 07:38 PM

            Faux News also saying no casualties.

        Jan 07, 2020 07:16 PM

        Jimmy’s intel should have warned him…….

        Yeah, what happened?

        And his uniform sure has lots of pretty decorations on it…dang, if he gets called up the war may be over by the time he gets all them pretty decorations dusted off.

      Jan 07, 2020 07:31 PM

      My uniform shrank in the cupboard, doesn’t fit now

        Jan 07, 2020 07:34 PM

        Well, at least it has no moth holes…so your rulers may call you up anyway.

        Jan 07, 2020 07:36 PM

        You are safe Nigel………we do not have the money to outfit you……. 🙂

    Jan 07, 2020 07:40 PM

    US F-35s just seen taking of from UAE…it’s on, boys. The Iranians were idiots if they didn’t stock up on S-300s and S-400S.

    Jan 07, 2020 07:43 PM

    Faux News reporting Orange Man remaining mum…”President Trump is not intending to address the situation tonight.”

    Maybe, it’s all a false alarm…we now return you to your regularly scheduled propaganda…

    Jan 07, 2020 07:45 PM

    With no casualties and Trump not bothering to talk the sheeple can go back to sleep…at least for tonight…

    Jan 07, 2020 07:59 PM

    Jan 07, 2020 07:16 PM

    Escalations continue in the mid-east. Not good! This certainly has the potential to deteroriate into a global conflict of sorts. No surprise in golds reaction on this news. $1650-$1700 is certainly possible if things continue to escalate. In saying that, the bulls would become very exhausted and thus the correction could be quite severe in the short term once geopolitical tensions die down.

    Jan 07, 2020 07:24 PM

    I say we bring in Guy Cabellero to mediate peace deal. Keep your stick on the ice.

    Jan 07, 2020 07:50 PM

    Orange Man says, “All is well.” No casualties…so far.

      There are many u.s. bases in Iraq. From memory (and this could be wrong) at least 8, with varying numbers of U.S. troops and Iraqi troops.
      Iran has attacked two bases with rockets so far, NEITHER of which have high concentrations of U.S. troops.
      I read into that Iran wanted to retaliate, but did NOT want to cause many casualties, fearing a further escalation with serious damage from U.S.

        Jan 08, 2020 08:18 AM

        Turned out to be a big nothing burger.

        The Iranians either lost their nerve or their missiles are not effective.

        Signals their weakness and will only encourage the neocons and other warmongers to be more aggressive.

    A Boeing 737 jetliner carrying 180 people crashed early Wednesday, local time, in Tehran, Iran, according to Iranian news agencies. The Fars News Agency reported a Ukrainian plane crashed due to technical problems soon after takeoff from Imam Khomeini airport.

      Jan 08, 2020 08:55 AM

      I bet more to the story…………I have posted my ideas in other sections…..since Ukraine has been in the news……….
      Possible cia ……arms pay for play….etc.
      Might even have something to do with Club K……

        Much more likely confusion of war, and some peon got scared he might be bombed and fired off a shoulder to air rocket.
        Plane was downed from 8,000 feet.
