    They are starting to lock us down again here in the US.
    Will be interesting to see what happens this time!

    We don't have this issue because if anyone is caught having the virus, the whole company will need to shutdown for 2 weeks. If it's a large company or factory, only the entire floor will be shutdown.

    YES!

    That's how this is working. I noticed this back around 2015-2016 by watching the charts.

    They are just moving from asset to asset. Right now I think gold is going lower. Dealers have started selling at "Black Friday" discounts (just a bit above spot) and they have plenty of stocks, as I see. Last year they had low stocks and prices were too high above spot.

    Either president becomes the next president of the USA, there will be turmoil in the US, which will keep gold at a decent price level. But if gold's price sinks sub-1,800 $, then the correction ain't over yet.

    Throughout the plague, locally there was only a small spike in gold premium of maybe 1% or so, with the exception of BS, but BS is ripping off buyers from the West. A couple months ago, I noticed that gold sellers on Chinese ecommerce sites were selling 100g gold bars for like 2% over spot price. If you consider the commission that the ecommerce sites charge, the merchants are getting way below spot.

    People who bought at high premiums a couple months ago, be it gold or silver maybe dumping their bullion to put into Bitcoin. As usual buy high, sell low. But at the same time, Asian buyers come out whenever gold drops to $1850 level. At some point, an equilibrium will be reached, be it $1700 or $1800. Barring the possibility of another geopolitical event or some new virus, which is almost guaranteed if Biden or Kamala becomes President because he needs a crisis to divert attention and hatred they created to target Trump. Even if Trump is no longer around, the hate remains.

    My mom said yesterday that she was going out to clean up leaves around her yard and there was cars lined up for blocks and blocks for a free food giveaway.
    She said every week they use the parking lot of a church to unload the trucks and people wait hours and hours for free food.

    Looking at the local forums, everyone now talking about the "Dominate software".

    If they can't afford a Tesla, they should be riding a bicycle instead of driving a car. The billionaire in your country deserves clean air and no "climate fires".

    It's a pity the war on common sense and decency was lost a long time ago, all these other "wars" are just scams manufactured for the blind sheeple.

    The precious metals seem to be still stuck in the rut, so lets talk about something more exciting like the stock market.

    I wonder when the Dow will hit the magical 30,000 will it be tonight (only 180 points to go) or will they delay the climax for another day?

    I just sold all my stocks for a nice profit a few minutes ago. I'm out of that for now. Getting a little crazy for me and I'm taking my beans off the table while I'm ahead.

    Looks like Topeka Kansas, my home sweet home.
    Also known as "a great place to grow potatoes" or the armpit of Kansas.
    Things not so good there I hear.

    This is a paradox, I've always found the USA a bit schizophrenic:
    - they have no money for food, but they can drive their way to get the free food give-away (unlike in Europe: if you have no money, you certainly have no car!)
    - the economy is going bad, "no problem: we'll print stimulus give-away money" (unlike in Europe: if you have no money, you end up on the streets!)
    - in American soap-operas if someone gets mad and moves out of the family home, they just move to an expensive apart-hotel and stay there for months (even if they have no job)
    - countless American bloggers and vloggers "go bankrupt", have no money, but no problem: they'll set off on a trip to around the world :D (in Europe if you have no money, you certainly can't travel :D )
    - the poorest and the richest American both live on credit :D
    - Kiyosaki gives "great advice" on how to get rich, but yes: you have to use credit to your advantage :D
    - the US is supposed to have the strongest economy in the world, yet: it has more homeless and more people dying of hunger than Europe
    - in America, you can spend more than you have! :D

    Good idea.

    About 3 years ago I read a pundit - forget who, but one of the 'names' - who explained why the stock market bubble was nowhere near its top and that top will be somewhere near 30,000 after a ....... well something that looks like this:

    Which would also look something like this:

    So well done JohnnyBravo300. You may have chosen a good time to exit.

    I think you need to revise your theory that the US is sabotaging Europe. I believe that to be case previously, but now we know the minions are operating from Spain, Serbia and Germany. Seems that it is more complicated than that you and I think. Dark elitist forces in Europe and possibly the UK might actually be controlling American politicians and their actions.

    It shouldn't even be surprising since the self-destroying immigration policy and green movements originate from Europe. I read that the European royalties started WWI to hold onto power, and we know that they failed. So I guess creating civil war to hold onto power isn't new.
