Check out somewhere like www.netdania.com and just toggle the "view...show volume chart" option—that'll clear things up for you real quick. 😁
Oh, almost forgot.

STACK THE SMACK!!

Whenever those guys start saying things are looking up, that’s my cue to brace for impact—I’m pretty much certain everything is about to go south. 😍

So, I just stumbled onto this Bloomberg piece about how the economy’s been acting lately—specifically looking at that stretch from 2012 through 2015—and man, it really puts things into perspective, doesn't it? It’s one of those "hindsight is 20/20" situations where you look back at the data and realize how much we were all just collectively holding our breath. The whole vibe of the article is basically dissecting why the recovery felt so sluggish and weirdly inconsistent during those years. You know that feeling when the news says everything is "improving," but you look at your own bank account and think, *“Yeah, sure, buddy,”*? That was pretty much the consensus. There was this massive gap between what the big institutional numbers were telling us and what people were actually feeling on the ground in cities like Chicago or Philly. It talks about how the Fed was trying to play this delicate game of chicken with interest rates—trying to jumpstart growth without accidentally setting off an inflation firestorm. It’s kind of wild to read back and see how much uncertainty was driving the markets. Everything felt so tentative. We were moving from the wreckage of the Great Recession into this weird, tepid middle ground where nobody quite knew if the floor was solid or made of cardboard. Honestly, reading this makes me feel a little more cynical about the "recovery" narratives we get fed every single year. It’s easy to smooth out a graph to make it look like a steady climb, but the reality was way more jagged and frustrating for the average person just trying to pay rent. Just a lot of walking on eggshells while the big players in D.C. tried to figure out which lever to pull next. Typical.

Honestly, this whole setup with the Germans is pure genius. Now the Italians and Spaniards are stuck being the ones to pump that fund full of 30% capital—just so they can eventually turn around and try to grab a slice of the money themselves. Such a wild move. 😂Pure genius. Seriously. They hit you with one interest rate when you take out the loan, then just casually jack it up when they start charging you on the balance—it’s a total scam. Absolutely brilliant move on their part.

Ugh, this platinum stuff is driving me absolutely insane 🙂
Whether it’s QE3 or whatever, I’m putting my money on gold. Honestly, at this rate, I’ll probably end up finding a vein of it just sitting in my backyard in Ohio

here's a little something for you

I'm still weighing my options, honestly 🙂. I'm leaning towards picking up some Krugerrands and maybe a little silver—because let's be real, you can never have enough silver.

Anthony Evans78 said:I can smell the sarcasm from here 🙂

It’s not sarcasm, man, really. It’s just that years of dealing with this stuff have taught me to watch my back. Where’s that one guy acting like an expert buyer? He needs to step up and state his position. Once he does, I’ll be sure to take the exact opposite stance 😂
Could the Germans lose their AAA rating tomorrow? And if they did, would we see the Dollar hit 1.4 against the Euro? What do you think, quiettrucker12??

dustyheron5 said:Is that just pure pessimism—or are you actually looking to load up even more?😍

man, I'd probably buy a little 😍

Where do you guys think gold is heading this Thursday? I’m calling it at $1550-$1600!

rapidorca8 said:Yeah, fine, whatever. I’d have grabbed some bullion ages ago if it wasn't such a total mess to actually buy any of it here. Still, there are trends happening... we can see it jumped from 5.5 to over 6 in a really short window.

I don't know, maybe the US won't even make it through the fall looking like this. Feels like holding dollars is the safer bet, regardless of how much they drop.

If you actually want something, you just go out and grab it—rules and regulations be damned.😉

dustyheron5 said:I'm just teasing you... though, if you find yourself unable to offload that jewelry—say, because of some potential Federal Reserve ban on gold trading (and frankly, they don't even seem to grasp its utility 🙂)—just reach out. We can work out some kind of partial barter deal 😂.

Anyway, have you read the latest piece by M. A. yet? The one regarding stagflation... 😉

I did. It was actually pretty interesting. Though, honestly, I’m more fascinated by this other term for what we're seeing in the economy right now—biflation.

dustyheron5 said:Where exactly are you looking? On my end, I'm seeing an extreme spike...😂
It's manipulation—plain and simple—based on the Federal Reserve data.😉
Gold is sitting at $1,729/oz.

The reason:

RT @jamesgrickards: #Fed easing on Sept 13th is a done deal.

if there’s money being shuffled around, let 'em shuffle it.

On Sept 12, the German Federal Constitutional Court rejects the bailout fund ratification
On Sept 14, Spain asks for an official bailout

Honestly, I don't think any of these three scenarios are actually going to happen. Well, maybe that one on the 14th might go down. 🤣

Anthony Evans78 said:The tension between the Federal Reserve and the Fed's German counterparts has finally boiled over. Draghi is going to print money whenever he feels like it—effectively ignoring both his mandate and European Union agreements—while the opposition argues this path is a one-way ticket to ruin for Germany.
As for gold, I'm feeling incredibly bullish. 🙂
Regarding the European Union economy? We’re looking at a Greece-style meltdown within a year or two.

I’ve been keeping a close eye on that exact situation. Germany talked a big game and fought it tooth and nail, but in the end, they just folded. I'm feeling a little 😕

Ha, ha ha, look at us—officially branded as a cult by everyone else!

Apparently, every single central bank on the planet is running some kind of cult operation—except for ours, obviously.

It’s basically the same energy as when Vujčić tells Americans not to bother buying real estate 🤣 😂

Anthony Evans78 said:It doesn’t matter what they say; it’s about what they actually do.
The only thing they can really do is dump hundreds of billions of dollars into a plan to "save" Spain.
We all know how that ends—it’ll be just like the mess they made trying to "save" Greece.

So here’s the deal: they're saying they'll start buying up bonds. Did Germany even give them the green light yet?

I wonder what Mario is going to dish out today. 🙂🙂🙂

Man, we really should've pulled the trigger on platinum about a month ago. 🙂
