Probably more than any other commercial technology company in the world, Palantir, due to it’s access to US Government data and other Governments’ data around the world, that could show patterns, shifts, and potential risks in the future political and economic landscape.
So when Palantir buys a large quantity of physical gold bars and states that it has bought physical gold as a hedge against black swan risk events, then you better sit up and take notice, because this is no ordinary corporate treasury investment and no ordinary company."

"Down in a crap game, I've been losing at roulette
Cards are bound to break me but I ain't busted yet,
'Cause I've been called a natural lover by that lady over there
Honey, I'm just a natural gambler but I try to do my share
Go down gamblin'".
Blood, Sweat and Tears, Go Down Gambling
Stocks tried again to rally, and then ended reversing in the afternoon, going out near the lows at support.

The VIX rose higher.
There will be a quad witching stock option expiration next week.
We may already be in the Shenanigans Zone, down at Wall and Broad.
Our crooks are more dishonest than your crooks.
Our crooks are bolder than yours.
Our crooks are brazen because we embrace deregulation
Our crooks are less honest than yours.
Have a pleasant weekend.
