SP 500 and NDX Futures Daily Charts - The Gracelessness of the Greedy


"Love is the crowning grace of humanity, the holiest right of the soul, the golden link which binds us to duty and truth, the redeeming principle that chiefly reconciles the heart to life, and is prophetic of eternal good."

Petrarch

Stocks were in a swoon today after the much worse than expected ADP employment data, as shown below.

The Fed's Yellen also noted that the valuations of US equities were 'high.' And they are, but this fact does not please Wall Street.

Volumes were light, and so the money and stock manipulation crowd were able to get stocks at least back off their lows.

Non-Farm Payrolls may reflect nothing of the ADP report. They will be adding plenty of imaginary jobs, and seasonalizing the harsh realities.

One thing of which we may be sure, that the grift will continue while there is any strength left in their manipulative hands. The chance of reform from within is almost nil. There is no reasoning with such self-absorbed irrationality.

Have a pleasant evening.

Gold Daily and Silver Weekly Charts - Para Los Amigos de Todo el Mundo


There was little 'delivery' action in the Bucket Shop yesterday.

Gold and silver are being held in place here as we have discussed, with gold around 1200 and silver between 16 and 17.   This too shall pass.
 
All the metals bulls are fearful of the US Non-Farm Payrolls on Friday.  This is the tyranny of the Fed and the Bucket Shop.
 
I bought some silver today.  Plata para México, y el mundo.
 
No hay mal que por bien no venga.
 

Have a pleasant evening.

 













SP 500 and NDX Futures Daily Charts - First Quarter GDP Will Be Revised Negative


The US showed an unusually wide trade gap this morning for March.

Welcome to the economy of the strong dollar in which exports are dampened and imports are cheap.

There is now more belief that the 1Q GDP was negative.

Stocks fell today, as did Treasuries, reflected a general decline in stocks in Europe.

Geopolitical events are weighing on the hot money crowd.

Non-Farm Payrolls on Friday. Perhaps the Fed can give us another weekend at Bernie's.

Have a pleasant evening.

 
 

NAV Premiums of Certain Precious Metal Trusts and Funds


Gold / Silver ratio is historically high at 72.

And Sprott Silver has a bigger discount to NAV than Sprott Gold?   You don't see something like that every day.
