The miners did not follow the metal during Iran dress-rehearsal

The miners are following a bit during the rehearsal now

The eventual main show should be good, like the current palladium movie

Re <<Gold>> the consolation prize ... let us watch S Korea and Japan, and points further east, and watch New Delhi and points west

I think the clear & present danger, too enormous, cannot be taken in by the market, and so is not.priced-in

We watch the numbers, and should the sick start to pile into hospitals in NYC and Silicon Valley, London and New Delhi, and and and, then nothing is out of the question

It reminds me a bit of the night I was reading SI on-line before going to sleep, and someone interjected Message 16330144 , rudely, something about “World Trade Center collpased Pentagon ablaze and you are worrying about the 1930s?

The thing was that I just stepped into my hotel room Message 16330798 , but muted, thinking the CNN anchor was talking about some movie.

At the moment of the interruption it dawned on me, “no, not a movie. The World Trade Center just got crashed by a plane”

The mind does not take in big events, when too enormous, in an instant

In any case I just got a new iPad, and with it comes Apple TV+ for one year. My kids got notified on their iPads set to family sharing, and in an instant, “dada, click to accept”

I think tonight’s program shall be Resident Evil Apocalypse

This is what is driving gold (chart).

As to the virus: imo this has now become unstoppable - a global pandemic seems a near-apodictic certainty. I conclude this from the surge in new cases in S. Korea and Japan.

i am supposing just that.

the leaders such as they are are all acting just as they did in 2007.

no common purpose, no common rhetoric, no focused effective battle plan.

and the peepole are not being fooled, the real failure. fool them and they will buy stocks LOL.

Suppose for a second the virus spreads, and it is certainly doing that, but wide, far and deep,

And suppose for another moment that fate of empires at burning stakes, unless they can hold off the panic

Then what must happen?

gutsy given the 10 year chart and............ the straight up nature of the move.

so, tell me it is not so, there's a crash taking place.

and we're only six weeks into the pandemic.

at this rate the metal goes to 2500 in the next six weeks?

Forget about the virus for a moment. In terms of valuations and positioning, this market has never been in a more dangerous position than now. Charts from the past two to three weeks summarizing the situation. The last chart shows what can happen when things really go pear-shaped.

at some juncture folks may puke, but that possibility seems far off

should a puke take place now, it would not be because there are not enough factors to blame ...

- virus pandemic
- valuation
- trump
- bernie
- dollar
- china

for the typical person off shore of USA per Armstrong's 'the view outside of USA', I am guessing such person does not care for trump but cares less for Sanders

Trump offers the possibility of muddle through, whereas Sanders can be viewed to offer less than muddle-through should his programs gain traction

it is up to the proverbial for the people by the people

I met bernie Message 24795383 and spoke with him during a trip circa 2005 if memory serves
re gold Message 32563962 see here, and even I know negative yields supportive of gold especially when impelled by pathogen and compelled by pandemic, but going against Armstrong is anathema to me per repeated learning since early 1990s

I cannot remember how many times I have admonished self, "listen to Armstrong" and didn't, and then promised to do so 'next time'
