Bernie Sanders on BBC Show Hardtalk


Updates will be sporadic this week.

The queen is in hospital for treatment of dehydration, observation and testing.

The interviewer in the video below is Stephen Sackur.

I thought Bernie handled him brilliantly.





Stocks and Precious Metals Charts - Blues en Mineur 1940


"Man has places in his heart which do not yet exist, and into them enters suffering, in order that they may have life."

Léon Bloy

There was a stock option expiration for June on this Friday past as noted on the option calendar below.

There will be a Comex option expiration for the precious metals on June 27th which is the Tuesday after next.

The economic news still indicates an economy that is faltering on the edge of a sustainable recovery. The biggest problem is still the lack of real income (wage) growth among the breadth of the participants in the real economy.

I am afraid that the deck is still stacked pretty much against the 99% because of financial, regulatory, and political distortions in favor of the wealthiest few at the expense of the many.

Next week is a bit light on economic news. That calendar is also included below as well as the results of economic announcements for this week past.

See you next week.

A Few Select Charts


The Lord is my light and my salvation—
       whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
       of whom shall I be afraid?

Psalm 27

I will most likely update the regular charts into the weekend.  It may be on Saturday.  We have tests and a doctor appointment tomorrow.

Have a pleasant evening.
