If you could see me now, you wouldn't shed a tear,
Though you may not understand, I am no longer there.
Beyond the gates of pearl, I have walked on golden streets,
I have touched the walls of jasper, and dipped my foot in crystal seas.
The beauty is past words, and nothing could compare,
I have even seen your mansion, and someday I'll meet you there.

Gold caught a bit of a bid today on Dollar weakness. Silver finished a bit lower.
Stocks were mixed with tech showing weakness on results that have been a bit disappointing given the hype for their growth.
Bucking that trend was amazon, which was up a little over 6 percent after the bell.
Tomorrow will be a Non-Farm Payrolls report. I suspect that the FOMC-NFP this week has been holding back the precious metals a bit. I would not be surprised to see the recent rally continue again next week.
But the Dollar is oversold, and the markets seem to lack all conviction, drifting higher on hot money and shallow greed.
Because of the increase in wickedness the love of most will grow cold. And many of the faithful will dry up and fall away. Beware the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy, self-love, and pride.
In the end, the only real tragedy is not to be among the saints.
Have a pleasant evening.
