Stocks and Precious Metals Charts - Global Market Cap Larger Now Than Global Economy


No merger Monday today. Just a slight upward drift in small caps and the SP, with the techs giving up some ground.

The dollar had a bounce. Just a bounce, so far.

Gold gave up a little bit of its recent gains, but silver managed to take back 29 and hold it.

Trading is very light, and so it does not take much to push the indices and certain stocks around, whether it be Robinhood key-pounders, or the PPT.

Let's see how the week progresses.

The markets are extra vulnerable to any adverse news, so proceed with caution.

I tangled with an underground nest of wasps last week when I was clearing storm debris from my yard.

The antihistamines make me sleepy. But with ibuprofen and vinegar wash and an ice pack my poor ankle seems to be slowly getting better. Wasp stings are fairly painful. Multiple stings in one area even more so. Their days are numbered. lol.

The swelling was fairly impressive. But it also slowly receding. No other effects, except some seriously annoying itching that also seems to be lessening.

Thanks be to God, always, for his loving kindness and tender mercies.

Have a pleasant evening.
