in the meantime, on another front, the impetus for equity melt-up is still strong if Armstrong is correct, that interest rate heads up, would imagine the FED would be right at the breach and mull down the rates. Cannot fathom that the FED has run dry of ammo. Too soon.

Hmmmnn ... Re << Message 32488417 My belief is that there would be no outright war between teams USA and Iran ... My belief is premised on take that team Iran in truth was planning some play, and that Trump in fact tried to hiccup same play. IOW, just an on-going attritional Great Game playing out in fully absorbing way since the 13th century, and one that does not forgive hurried / careless moves. The Iranian general was careless. Let us see if Trump was in too much of a hurry. If take is correct, the question we shall get answer to would be “is a gold-pricing step-up due to war-scare durable ?”. My guess is “no”.>> (1) Looks like there would not be war as all players counselling self-restraint (2) Looks like the Iranian guy was on a diplomatic mission, according to Iraq independent.co.uk , and if confirmed by Saudi Arabia, would not be a good precedent for the game. If not confirmed by Saudi Arabia, semblance of peace would be torn had there actually been a diplomacy meeting planned. Would mean <<The Iranian general was careless. Let us see if Trump was in too much of a hurry.>> (3) Should (1) and (2) turn out to be true, longterm bullish for gold but immediately bearish
