    Surprise! Surprise!

    Looks like the US economy is't as strong as they thought, so they need to kick the can down the road a few more years.

    I watched the full speech Powell gave this morning. He didn't sound very up beat, also it sounded like the FED was getting ready for QE4.

    I think i can wrap up the entire speech with a few lines;
    -things don't look good in the world.
    -interest rates are very low so that tool can't be used to boost economy.
    -they are happy to expand the FED's balance sheet to dump money into the system.
    -everything else he just says he doesn't know or can't talk about it.

    I think the real reason is because the market shouldn't crash until October 2020.

    Somebody on Silver Doctors (in the comments section) said that tomorrow is CRIMEX Futures Contract Expiry day so Get your Precious Metals while TPTB smack it down. _JLG.
