      Doesn’t matter what The Fed does gold will yawn, miners will trend lower, and the Stock Market will pump.

        Jun 25, 2020 25:54 PM

        Nope Jason……….U is wrong………gold going higher……

          Jun 25, 2020 25:56 PM

          I will agree with you on the stock market….pump and dump….Fed is going along with Donald, and the stealing will continue…..

            Hello to all on the ker!

            First and foremost I want to tap on an earlier blogger or messenger who felt the ker is saturated with politics..

            My answer is I agree but there ain’t a dam thing you or me can do about it because that’s what diversity is and al wants.. imo some of the same bloggers like cfs, Jerry, Irish, and many more not only contribute to politics but metals and miners. Actually I’m not sure if cfs ever participates in that he can speak for himself. I will tell you that from time to time out guru Matt has even chimes in on discussion! I think that’s why this site imo gets an 7/8 out of 10.

            So why are we not 10/10 imo, because we have an old school mentality that does not invite new minds and has many observers worries and scared of coming in and speaking there thoughts. Without a doubt this site has high intellectual people who on a daily write opinions that are well stated and written thus making people second guess themselves in participating.

            I’m sorry Al and Cory but for a very long time you are not getting to audience that is younger and opinionated differently. Does not mean it’s a bad thing but I can’t imagine a site like ours that has 4-8 heavy weights in miner and precious metals if not more and 6-12 on políticas if not more getting more interest!

            The fact is this.. we have audience but they watch, learn, make money from opinions and don’t participate which really upsets me.

            Anyhoo I feel once again the need to post this!

            Something know one commented on or said thanks..I know for a fact many are making money from Matt’s calls, ex, Jerry, Tracy and myself I’m last place regardless of nailing the last three weeks in price action.

            It would be nice if some of you out there reading and following chime in and say hey thanks! Because at some point you feel the need that what you do is not appreciated..

            Jun 25, 2020 25:38 PM

            Glenfidish……great comments…..on wanting new participation….all are WELCOME….

        Jun 25, 2020 25:20 PM

        Gold is up 35% year-over-year while the S&P 500 is up 12% yoy. Since their respective March lows, the S&P is up 40% while the XAU and HUI are up 95% and SILJ is up 132%.
        Since the stock market and GDP made their REAL all-time highs 20 years ago, the S&P 500 is down 69% vs gold (gold has more than tripled vs the S&P 500).

        Priced in real money, stocks look miserable:

          those are some impressive numbers………..some people should wake up and smell the roses…….. 🙂
          Yawn before dawn….. 🙂

            Jun 25, 2020 25:38 PM

            Jerry,

            Exactly! Jerry I officially name you the grandfather of ker! Not that your old but you are the voice of reason.. cfs is passionate and I agree with many things.. Matt is genius for charts knowledge and helping people make money.. ex gives you many choices of companies that many can’t do and that deserves many persists. Tracy is hard cold in his voice but like Donald is voice of reason lol..

            Jun 25, 2020 25:41 PM

            Matt i meant in posting while you are investing and buying lol.

            Jun 25, 2020 25:41 PM

            Glenfidish……Well, ….thank you….. 🙂 Appreciate the thought…

            Jun 25, 2020 25:42 PM

        Priced in gold miners, the S&P 500 topped 18 months ago and still doesn’t look good at all. It was all over more than a year before the covid scapegoat:

    Hey guys sorry for my spelling and grammar once again. You must be saying wtf glen!
    Matt thanks again for all your charts and hard work in posting while you are reading it’s just plain insane!

    Chartser I sent you a friendly message to your bearish call and you never responded.. dialogue is always key

    To the boys! Gold will break through $1800 and chartser will have to wait for his move. We are going higher even Gary, bob and Jordan will all have to wait and climb the walk of worry..

    I’ve said this once and I will say it again.. we have some young heavy weights in here that have been calling the precious metals market to the point.. we need people to appreciate it your going to lose these bloggers. I can’t state enough how valuable Matt is!

    One day we are here the next we are gone. Folks say hi and thanks we don’t run for profit website or newsletters..

      Jun 25, 2020 25:45 PM

      Hi Glen,
      I still think we are due for a pullback. Look at all those double tops. Look at the MAs on some of this stuff.
      I’m not going to argue. I’m just stating what “I think”.
      By the way, the folks that don’t have pause with all these double tops,, are gonna learn a lesson. (Just sayin)

        Jun 25, 2020 25:52 PM

        Glen,
        I just put it out there for you to look at. You do your own analysis. What I sent was a “ heads up “ (IMO).
        We all look at all sides. I just gave you a different perspective.

        Jun 25, 2020 25:54 PM

        Chartster…..I THINK…..you better look at the big cup and handle……stop looking at short term.charts…., this is a big cycle move……jmo

          Jun 25, 2020 25:02 PM

          I agree with the cup and handle. However, I still think we are not done with the big wash.
          It has to happen, just like all other assets.

          We are in a bull market. We are just going to see another wash.
          And we ain’t seen ‘ the big one ‘ yet.

            Jun 25, 2020 25:07 PM

            There are not enough people left to be washed out..that bought from $1750 to $1923..most of the overhead resistance has been taken out….in the last 8 to 9 years…..jmo….

            Jun 25, 2020 25:51 PM

            I understand your thoughts about ‘not enough people’ .
            Consider that, the commercials haven’t entered yet. And why is that? The commercials are the smart money. The retail guys don’t mean squat. Yes, it’s a little bump here and there), but the real money is sitting tight. [ there is a reason for that ].

            Jun 26, 2020 26:30 AM

            Chartster………good thoughts as always…..thanks….

            Jun 26, 2020 26:35 AM

            Chartster………question…..?????????………..
            “there is a reason for that ]”…….you wrote,…..
            I am kind of dumb,…..but, give me a few reasons…( I am not trying to be smart), just want to make sure , I am not assuming anything. Thanks……

      Jun 25, 2020 25:50 PM

      Ditto………Matt…..is under appreciated…….and complemented….along with EX…man these guys do a lot of work, for free……People should give some appreciation notes….
      Give a little appreciation for the hard work…..

        Thanks OOTB. Right back at you sir!

        Not only does Matt, Ex, DT , OOTB and others that post and give interviews give outstanding and timely information on a daily basis, but for those of us still learning , their contributions provide an educational experience unmatched on the interweb. Thanks to all. I think separating politics and investing is a good thing.

    Thanks for your kind words as always! Ditto on your views of the short term bs long term charts. You have a very good sense of gold! You are way smarter then you portray yourself!

    Jun 25, 2020 25:55 PM

    Chartser,

    I don’t completely disagree with what you are saying! I just disagree with your timing.. the washout you claim is just going to be a buying opportunity of a lifetime. Yes could happen soon but not quite yet!

    $1800 will be broken and you will have to wait another 3 weeks if not more..

      Jun 26, 2020 26:42 AM

      Ditto……….I agree……….with buying opportunity of a lifetime…..
      Since I am the “Grandfather of the Ker”…. I hope my timing is right… 🙂

    Galway Metals drills 0.6 m of 186.5 g/t Au at Clarence

    2020-06-24 07:18 ET – News Release

    Mr. Robert Hinchcliffe reports

    GALWAY METALS INTERSECTS 186.5 G/T AU OVER 0.6M IN NEW DISCOVERY, 950M WEST OF THE JUBILEE ZONE; INCREASING DRILLS FROM 3 TO 5

    Galway Metals Inc. has released assay results from wildcat exploration drilling located 950 metres southwest and along strike of the westernmost intersection of the Jubilee zone at the company’s Clarence Stream project in southwestern New Brunswick, Canada. That intersection had returned 1.9 grams per tonne (g/t) Au over 43.3 metres (m) (35.7 m true width (TW), including 21.2 g/t Au over 2.35 m), starting at a vertical depth of 36 m below surface (Sept. 5, 2019). The new discovery returned 186.5 g/t Au over 0.6 m from a 35-centimetre quartz vein that contains very fine sulphides, including arsenopyrite. Another similar vein located 13 m farther downhole returned 2.2 g/t Au over 0.7 m. The closest drill holes are located 270 m to the southwest and 560 m to the northeast. The one to the northeast intersected 4.4 g/t Au over 1.0 m and also contained 4,050 parts per million bismuth and 344 ppm tungsten (Sept. 5, 2019). These results appear to be along the Jubilee-Richard-George Murphy zone trend that Galway believes is part of the same 2.5 km long mineralized system.

    After consultation with local mayors:
    Aurania’s exploration teams re-entered the field in mid-June to commence mapping and soil sampling on a number of priority targets for gold-silver, copper-gold and copper in Ecuador. The company has also requested quotes from several geophysical service companies for a heliborne mobile MT survey as a means of identifying sulphides related to porphyries and epithermal gold-silver systems, as well as resistive zones that may represent silica-enriched areas linked with epithermals.

      Hi Jerry:
      To much time has passed.
      This is fitting as 9/11 is just another documentary. And people wonder why were in the mess were in.
      I wrote a book about the Deep State connection to 9/11 and I decided not to publish when my daughter and son in law leased their helicopter and entities named in the book were clients.
      Unfortunately in my book, everything that is coming we all deserve.

        Jun 26, 2020 26:59 AM

        I will add to Jerry that when I was a volunteer with A&E strange things started happening with my trading account. I wish I could chock it up to coincidence but I know better.
