Stocks and Precious Metals Charts - Metals Hold Their Gains into the Non-Farm Payrolls Report

 

"Most of them became wealthy by being well connected and crooked. And they are creating a society in which they can commit hugely damaging economic crimes with impunity, and in which only children of the wealthy have the opportunity to become successful.  That’s what I have a problem with.  And I think most people agree with me." 

Charles Ferguson, Predator Nation 

 

"Those among the rich who are not, in the rigorous sense, damned, can understand poverty, because they are poor themselves, after a fashion; they cannot understand destitution.  Capable of giving alms, perhaps, but incapable of stripping themselves bare, they will be moved, to the sound of beautiful music, at Jesus’s sufferings, but His Cross, the reality of His Cross, will horrify them.  They want it all out of gold, bathed in light, costly and of little weight; pleasant to see, hanging from a woman’s beautiful throat." 

 Léon Bloy

Gold and silver moved a bit higher today.

The Dollar edged lower and gave up the 91 handle.

Stocks made a strong attempt to rally, but gave up their gains in the afternoon.

Tomorrow will be the Non-Farm Payrolls repot for November.

Today was a good day to put up the Christmas lights, and give the yard a going over before the rains come this weekend.

Have a pleasant evening.
