Please let me know if you have success getting people to think your way, Brett. Because if you do, I need to buy Alcoa and Reynolds Aluminum, just for the hat business.
I'm working on a tasteful tinfoil fedora, with band and feather. The bowler just doesn't quite do it for me.
Currencies are also not fluctuating as much as they used to earlier this year. At least the ones I've been buying lately.
The only thing that causes me to wonder about the chart is why THAT particular time was chosen to "unwind" the post-Brexit run-up in PM prices. Were there surprising EU and UK stats showing robust economies then? That would make total sense, if so. I didn't closely follow the EU/UK news around then.
Ah Brexit. Yes, that's the conspiracy, now it all makes sense. With the upcoming release of UK's two new aircraft carriers they must be on the midst of creating world domination like they had in the 18th Century. And since the UK money is based on the Silver pound, they'll end up cornering the market in Silver and force the entire world to go back to the Gold or Silver standard. It all makes sense now as my music ends .. Prince .. 1999.
You'll find that the recall will probably happen in Mexico and China - where the products all come from, regardless of brand. Just listen for the "giant sucking sound" we were warned of in 1992.
Labels are endorsed by the population for many reasons. To the status quo, labels help simplify things when they won't take the time to evaluate it for themselves and make a judgement call on knowledge - or when they don't know how and take it on blind assumption and buy the slab, merely relying on the label to be correct - and not what's under it or who labeled it. The educated use it as a second opinion and re-enforcement of their own, but always take the time to evaluate and decide whether they agree or not. As for putting it on the right or left - that is purely a philosophical question deeply rooted with political innuendo which should probably get your post pulled. But I digress. One thing we do know - some that don't want you to see the truth and judge for yourself - they insist on using the labels, and generally put the label in the front and center - so you can't see what is behind it - thereby insisting that you blindly trust their label. So when buying any coin, always resort to your gut instinct - and trust, but verify.
Looks like the Dow closed up 370 points today, not even waiting for the votes for its relief rally. No, I wasn't a buyer today but used it to "relieve" myself of an underperforming stock at a price it didn't deserve. Just hope Mr. Street hasn't put the cart ahead of the horse, which it has had an irritating propensity to do in recent years.
So..., question is, ... do you think American polling firms are more accurate than British polling firms? The science of drawing accurate samples has become more difficult in a world with people with and without land line phones, and candidates who sort of shake up the usual demographic trends. Are there more "hidden" votes for one versus the other? Stay tuned 'til tomorrow. Same Bat-time. Same Bat-channel.
The polls are totally meaningless. What counts now is the Electoral College tally. For reasons you cited above, Kurt, I have read the poll stories with interest -- then forgotten about them. And, as an aside, I am NOT chasing today's stock rally. If Mr. Street is wrong about the election, there will be a REAL buying opportunity, probably more of one that most investors want--especially those who went hog wild today.
I just checked the national weather map. Most swing states are okay. Decent amount of rain in some solidly blue or solidly red states. Perhaps the diciest weather in a swing state are Wisconsin and Michigan. Do not plan on getting to bed early if you're watching the returns tomorrow night.
I wonder how much of it was shorts covering for impending doom? Fools have been led down the golden path time and time again, only to be crushed.
Well, I was expecting a bump in silver from the election. From what I am gathering tomorrow will let us know where it is going to go. Is that the general consensus here? I dumped all my silver in October at $19.15 because I needed some cash for home improvement. Turned into a Silver Bear overnight, actually hoping it would go down some and join the poker table again in January 2017.
Well if you've waited this long, wait at least one more day. Remember what happened when the stock market incorrectly predicted the Brexit vote. Like I said, I was a stock seller today, not a buyer.
I will wait. Surprisingly Provident and JM Bullion are running some pretty good deals for silver. $0.59 over spot is tempting: https://www.providentmetals.com/provident-metals-10-oz-silver-bar.html https://www.jmbullion.com/on-sale/
You really feelin' an upset, then? I hope you're right, but I'm not seeing it. Both camps beating us over the head in PA says something, but I can't say here what I think it may be. But for both camps, it's fear. They sure aren't each running all these million$ in ad$ here because they think it's in the bag. Hey, what do car ads and prescription drug ads look like? I've forgotten.
