"If at the start this cancerous growth in the nation was not particularly noticeable, it was only because there were still enough forces at work that operated for the good, so that it was kept under control. As it grew larger, however, and finally in an ultimate spurt of growth attained ruling power, the tumor broke open, as it were, and infected the whole body." The White Rose, Munich 1942
Gold and silver paused today, consolidating their recent gains.
Stocks seem to be doing the same thing, and even gaining a bit of ground.
But some selling crept in during the late afternoon.
And the selling started to accelerate in the last hour, with stocks going out on the lows.
Stock option expiration on Friday.
Have a pleasant evening.
