I wonder who writes Aisiaguy's script...?

If what he's saying is factual... "What could go wrong?" comes to mind....

Do you want peace, or do you want to light the match?

Anyone complaining about diesel prices while supporting Zelensky after Ukraine bombs Russian energy infrastructure needs to explain that contradiction. You cannot complain about higher fuel prices while cheering attacks on infrastructure that affects global energy supply.

President Trump asked Zelensky to stop bombing energy infrastructure that is vital to the world economy. Instead, the NATO-backed Ukrainian government launched some of the largest attacks of this nearly five-year war.

Pentagon satellites are being used by the Ukrainian military to carry out attacks that Trump has ordered to STOP.

Ukrainian forces struck the Samara LVDS oil hub overnight in a repeat attack on a vital node that blends export Urals crude and supplies fuel to the Russian military. An earlier October 7 strike destroyed four massive crude-storage tanks.

And now Zelensky is demanding that Washington stop pursuing economic deals with Russia while also demanding continued access to Starlink.

Who does he think he is? The U.S. should be pursuing peace and its own economic interests, not allowing Zelensky to dictate American policy.

If people want lower diesel prices and peace, stop supporting actions that push in the opposite direction. You cannot light the match and then complain about the fire.

Now let’s watch the ones who hate America scream that Trump is Putin’s puppet. 🤡🤣

Speaking of which, I've seen a chart floating around that seems to imply GLD shenanigan's here lately.

That chart isn't implying shenanigans. It's showing that GLD investment has generally tracked price, but we are now seeing a divergence. People are BTFD now.
 
I mean that's possible. I would like to see that farther back. Could also be an indication of the AP's just creating shares in order to sell gold that they don't have.
 
You have a point there. GLD shares and vault stock have an incomprehensible relationship and often move in opposite directions. It's a stark contrast from SLV.
 
I sure hope you are right. I been eating Chef-boy-ardee instead of lobster tail and stone crab claws.
 
of course it was on Friday... it's always on a Friday!

PM Sector Downside Targets after Serious Break Lower on Friday​

The Precious Metals sector suffered a serious breakdown on Friday, October 30, with gold, silver, and mining stocks falling sharply through important support levels.

In this video, I examine the latest technical developments, identify key downside targets, and assess whether Friday’s dramatic selloff marks the beginning of another major decline or a potential capitulation event ahead of a powerful recovery.

 
Was just looking around and looking at Palladium. That's really been crushed then ran it on a ratio with Gold. Interesting. Certainly points to a coming economic crash. It it was easier to find and i can find some Gold I might try and trade some for Palladium.

Japan's stock market is crashing HARD.
Mass unemployment, bankruptcies, and suicides will likely follow.

Americans often ask what they should be careful about when visiting Japan.

The most important thing:
Hide the fact that you're a Democrat.

The second most important thing:
Hide the fact that you're a Democrat.

And above all, the single most important thing:
HIDE THE FACT THAT YOU'RE A DEMOCRAT.

This is sincere advice.

Post in thread 'No banks are safe (bail ins, FDIC limits, systemic risks)'

Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem has designated the Real-Time Rail (RTR), operated by Payments Canada, as a prominent payment system under the Payment Clearing and Settlement Act, effective November 8, 2026.

The designation brings the RTR under formal Bank oversight and requires Payments Canada to ensure that the RTR adheres to the Bank’s risk-management standards, including maintaining controls that support the RTR’s safety and resilience. As a designated domestic clearing and settlement system, the RTR will also fall within the Bank’s resolution regime, which supports the...

They are broke. BMO had a massive move after hours that appears "glitchy". They are all involved in MASSIVE leveraged derivative bets, many against silver, some against Gamestop, some against god knows what else.
