Stocks and Precious Metals Charts - In the Garden of the Exceptional - Stock Option Expiration on Friday

 

"In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future.  We are ripping the foundations of justice from beneath future generations.” 

Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn 

 

“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” 

Voltaire 

 

"Hatred can be nurtured anywhere, idealism can be perverted into sadism anywhere.  The inferno could erupt anew anywhere.  The history of man is the history of crimes, and history can repeat.  So information is a defense.  Through this we can build, we must build, a defense against repetition.” 

Simon Wiesenthal

 

"Take a stand for that which is right, and the world may misunderstand you, and criticize you, but you never go alone.  Walk with him this morning, and believe in Him, and do what is right, and he'll be with you even until the consummation of the ages.  I will not bow, and God grant that we will never bow, before the gods of evil." 

Martin Luther King, But If Not, 5 November 1967

 

Stocks were giving it up today, led lower by the big cap tech stocks. 

Gold and silver finished a bit higher from the Friday close, although they had opened this morning even higher. Silver did take back and hold the 25 handle. 

I remain somewhat optimistic about silver, moreso gold. 

But let's see how this plays. 

The miners were hit again. I suspect we are seeing a 'technical trade' for the benefit of those specs holding leveraged and options positions. 

It's funny, but when the metals are in turmoil, the site receives a number of infrequent or largely absent visitors coming back to see what is going on. 

And often they are upset at the efforts made here to discharge my conscience, especially with regard to warning my brothers and sisters about contemporary events.

 We are upset because you don't like Trump.   You are not nice to the Bankers.  Gold and silver are not manipulated.  You talk too much about God.  Don't talk about Covid 19.  Don't say negative things about MMT or Bitcoin.   yada yada 

And what really upsets them is that they cannot threaten financial consequences because there are no subscription fees, and no monetary benefit from any traffic, tips, or donations. 

If Le Cafe is not to your tastes, don't visit here.  This is the internet, and there are all too many places where you can hear support for whatever fetish of untruths and range of legitimate interests in which you may wish to believe. 

Together we have seen all of this coming for some time now, and have warned about it, step by step.  It is the madness that serves none but itself.    It is the nest of the unspeakable.

And we will not be silent. 

Men do go mad in herds, but come back to their senses but one at a time.   And it is for those that we try to lift up a light, as badly and as weakly shining as it may seem, in comparison to the growing darkness.

Have a pleasant evening.
