Stocks and Precious Metals Charts - Vanities

 

 “We fear men so much, because we fear God so little.” 

 G. K. Chesterton 

 

“A true opium of the people is a belief in nothingness after death - the huge solace of thinking that for our betrayals, greed, cowardice, and even murders that we are not going to be held to account.” 

Czesław Miłosz 

 

What a difference a day makes in these fickle, financialized markets.

Stocks managed to rally again today.  

Gold held its ground while silver managed to rally back from the engineered takedown on Monday.

The Dollar chopped sideways. 

We have so little shame, or sense and respect for what really matters.

But for what?  What? 

Most forfeit their souls for some passing vanity, in the long run is little or nothing, shameless and defiant.

And that willfulness is the real tragedy.

Have a pleasant evening.
