Stocks and Precious Metals Charts - A Pause, But Does it Refresh

 

"It is very easy to get drunk with hate.  Hate is like the glass of whisky which is given to the soldiers before a bayonet charge.  Whisky stimulates but does not nourish.   Hate is not creative, only love is creative.   These sufferings will not cause us to crumble but will help us, more and more, to become stronger.  They are necessary—together with the sacrifices of others—so that the ones who come after us may be happy.” 

Maximilian Kolbe, Auschwitz 

 

 "You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father.  He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him.  Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies." 

John 8:44

 

Stocks managed to rally back to about unchanged, despite a dip intraday.

The dollar did the same.

Gold managed to gain a bit, while silver fell back to the start of the week.

The behaviour of too many Americans has become increasingly foolish, hateful, fantastical and shameful,  hysterical, and nuts.

Not here.

Have a pleasant evening.
