Re <<Gold>> and by implication, silver, platinum, and palladium, as well as BTC, i do not care a great deal what the physical pricing is until final (exam) redemption day. In the meantime I just like it better that they move, up or down, a lot, and admit that up is easier to play than down, but down can be played well as well. Right now, today, i no longer have to concern myself w/ SBSW as long as it does not breach 20 even though I own a lot of SBSW equity. I ledger the recent dividend, book today’s premium profit, and look forward same profit again next month as the time-decay takes hold and does wet work. Am also assessing what if anything to do about GLD and SLV positions, like take profit or wait, on the derivatives. I do not have either equities and am only positioned in derivatives. The profit goes to play another day or taken into physical cold storage wallet. The thought that gold can go to 300 sounds exciting even though might be too good to ever come true. Should it happen, buy, I am guessing. Yes, all possible, since paper oil can go to negative when it transforms into physical, so i guess paper gold can go to 300, then zero, on the day ‘they’ outlaw ownership of ‘make-belief gold’ and true gold. I wonder what the physical would be at on that exciting day. Maybe the day ‘they’ outlaw BTC ownership would provide us a preview.

"unless the Fed assumes yield curve control" I see evidence enough today that algos are controlling every trade... non-random chart patterns are what you are used to seeing now... but, there used to be a reality that most of the inputs were noise... making the patterns there were actually meaningful... and the rest of it just noise. Easy enough today to see it when some clever former physicist/software engineer... comes up with a new strategy that alters the chart patterns... or someone takes control of the market with a strategy intended to paint a particular pattern to tell investors what they're supposed to do next... Some are patterns you're supposed to see... every "chart school" makes sure you know them. Others you're not supposed to see, much less recognize... even when things are working as intended. Only the worse when someone drops the lug nuts... and man behind the screen makes a brief appearance... That's all about the stock market... that has a lot less $ in it than the bond market ? So, yeah, I'm sure there's nothing at all like that happening in the bond markets as a matter of routine ? /s Since the banks have been taken over by traders... every problem nail has the same solution hammer... and that involves trading... not aloof policy guildance... which mis-spelling I have decided should remain.
