I am down to bitcoin, gold, silver, platinum and the miners. I have no tech or healthcare stocks.

If I was going to buy stocks they would be PLTR, PLTU, BMNR & MAGY

FWIW

You can watch the China holdings of Treasuries (on a monthly basis) yourself as they are published by the US Treasury here:

That data doesn't show weekly flow though. Not sure where "Russian Market" is getting their data, but I suppose it is possible.

~~~

Both gold and silver hold the line - down ever so slightly from yesterday's close in overnight trading in China. The SFE silver vault reports a tiny outflow and the SGE silver vault reports a large inflow over the previous week. The SGE silver vault report suggests that silver may have indeed been flowing from west to east last week as the SGE premium over LBMA spot would imply.

Mr honorable speaks today and they have the FOMC rate decision. Prices are nearly completely controlled. Just keep that in mind.

Dollar strengthening. If it makes a run to the 101 range look for lower metal and stock prices.

Armstrong says the dollar is king when war happens.

War drums are happening in the EU.

They (NATO) want to hit Russia before Russia doesn't hit them.

"For what?" would be the question...

There's nothing but debt and migrant fatigue in the EU which is why Putin wouldn't.

NATO has tried many times and will try even more to get Putin to react so they can use Article 5 to foment WWIII.

So far he's smart like a fox.

That would be dumb for him to get involved now, more than just Ukraine. He's got China on his side (likely). And they don't have any of the economic or immigration problems that the West has. Just let them implode from debt and broken promises.

He knows they badly need a war to cover up all the shit they've caused.
