Stocks and Precious Metals Charts - Deceiving and Being Deceived

 

"Not everyone who calls out to me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven."

Matt 7:21

"This is the message that we heard from him and that we now give to you.  God is light, and there is no darkness in him.  If we say we have fellowship with him but continue to live in darkness, we are lying, and do not live in the truth."

1 John 1:5-6

"Beware the leaven of the Pharisees, which is a pious hypocrisy."

Luke 12:1

They do not see the image of Almighty God before them, and ask themselves what He wishes.  And, for the same reason that they do not please Him, they succeed in pleasing themselves. For that which falls so short of God’s law is just what they can fulfill; or rather they choose it, and keep to it, because they can fulfill it.  They rate their merit very high, and have no fear at all of any future scrutiny into their conduct which may befall them.

In the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, traitors, heady, high-minded having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof. Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived."

John Henry Newman

"The kings of the world joined in her harlotry, and those who dwell in their lands are intoxicated by the the wine of her immorality.”

Revelation 7:2


Stocks wobbled around.

The spokesmodels had their 'new highs' pom-poms out today.  

Maybe tomorrow or next week.

We have another Non-Farm Payrolls report with all its attendant drama coming up.

Yeah we're turning the page on this month, quarter, and the year.

I thought I would include a longer term US Dollar DX chart for those talking heads who expressed dismay that the Buck was reduced to nearly the 100 handle.

The Street people have the contextual awareness of goldfish.

Gold set a new all time high in London overnight.

Otherwise just more of the same.  

The volume is so light and regulation so lax they can pretty much do what they want.

Among the numerous repugnant offenses of empire this year is the continuing persecution of the journalist, Julian Assange.  

It reads like a bad movie script.  

And the deprivation and murder of innocents in the name of peace and freedom. 

Are you not entertained?

Have a pleasant evening.
