10 Nuggets That Show Gold Is Weirder Than You Think

Interesting historical facts about gold. Check out #8 to see how FGC got his nickname. (You thought he was only in his 70’s.LOL) https://listverse.com/2024/03/18/10-nuggets-that-show-gold-is-weirder-than-you-think/

the end is near! (or at least it’s nearer than it was)

   

Grand Finale Greetings!

OK, that’s a bit dramatic, especially since there’s not yet a date set for the grand finale, but I figure it must be coming and I want to be ready.

It’s a funny thing, traveling freely as I do, when I begin to get the feeling that I’m nearing the end of the travels. It’s not a thought, just a feeling, even without a plan of how or when that it might happen. That feeling has just appeared, so I’m at least as interested as anyone else to see how things unfold for me from here. Will it happen slowly, or all at once?

It was exactly 5 months ago when I left Oregon to begin this trip, with more than three of those months having been spent in Russia. This country is so big as to be impossible to comprehend just by looking at a map. It must be explored, by land, to even begin to understand. The whole of Europe could easily fit within the area of my travels on this trip, as could the entire USA, yet this is less than one-half of Russia!

This past Sunday night, I flew from Noyabrsk to St. Petersburg. Here in St. Petersburg, things are edging ever closer to springtime. It’s a different scene than when I was here a little over a month ago. The snow is now gone and most of the ice that was on the waterways has melted. The temperature is above freezing, which is new to me for this year.

This updated map shows my travel route since entering Russia in the beginning of December:

What happens next? I have an idea for the next few days, but am not sure how it will work out. We’ll see.

There’s something I must confess, that the last few photos of me were doctored. Below is a photo showing how I actually look now. These travels have been fairly rough on me and I seem to have aged quite a bit. On top of that, after my experience with the barber in Morocco, I’ve been shy about getting a haircut from a stranger who doesn’t speak the same language, so my hair has taken off and grown completely out of control. And my beard as well. My friends might not even recognize me now. The other day I discovered a cat was living in my beard; now we travel together.

There’s another new photo gallery, of some snowy winter days I spent in Moscow in February:

Apparently, the adventure continues. Enjoy!

What is NOT recommended by Nova, the FDA, or anyone with a hair width of brain is a ‘healthy diet’. A diet that consumes only natural foods – no canned goods, no fructose, clean oils, organics, no nitrate sandwich meats, fast food, etc… The global obesity rate is ‘predicted’ to reach 50% by 2030. Forget cancer and heart disease, obesity is the new Pharma profit motivation. While obese people are believed to be more prone to heart disease and cancer, the actual causes of these diseases still remain ‘unknown’ to Science experts.

NYC – The Greatest City In The World – Now A Crime Ridden Shithole

Thanks to Eric Adams, Kathy Hochul and the rest of the libtard Dems, the once great city of New York (remember Rudy G.) has become a crime ridden shithole.

Adams is such a jerk and rather than policies and policing to attack the problem, he covers up by fudging the crime stats. Reminds you of all the Federal Govt. stat fudging by Joey B and his flunkies. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/its-wild-west-crime-and-violence-nyc-transit-underreported-according-nypd-source

Bold Gold Projection

Andrew Addison, a technical analyst I remember from decades ago, who was pretty good on the stock market, has just made this bold prediction for gold. “Once gold has a monthly close above $2200, then my work would generate upside projections of $3600 to $4000.”

Since I believe it isn’t that much of a stretch for gold to close the month over $2200 (barring a very hawkish FED on Wed.) we should know fairly soon if it is going to blast off towards those much higher levels. https://www.marketwatch.com/articles/gold-new-buy-signal-75b71efc?mod=search_headline

Niger Severs Ties With US Military After Alarm Raised Junta Will Supply Uranium To Iran

Pentagon’s major drone base in West Africa could be packing up as Russia also moving in…

“Niger regrets the intention of the American delegation to deny the sovereign Nigerien people the right to choose their partners and types of partnerships capable of truly helping them fight against terrorism.”

This charge of the US not respecting the West African nation’s sovereignty comes in reaction to recent Western intelligence claims that Niger has been engaged in secret talks and deal-making to grant Iran access to its uranium. US officials have also bitterly complained about Niger cozying up to Moscow.

Will The Reddit IPO Mark The Stock Market Top?

As we approach the end of the first quarter, which is as good a time as any to mark the end of at least this phase of the everything bubble, Reddit is going public.

When we look back on this time from the not too distant future, it is quite likely that it will mark the stock market top. NVDA has their conference this week and the stock could finally hit the round number of $1,000 per share and by next week’s end of quarter it wouldn’t surprise me if the DJIA joins the Nikkei 225 in having reached 40 thousand.

I can’t remember what happened back in 2021 why Reddit didn’t pull the trigger during that mania phase for all speculation.(I believe they tried or were suppose to IPO but something happened?) So they will likely get a pop but not back to their last funding round valuation and it and the market can roll over once we get into April.

Cocoa & Silver

On Sat. morning Mario Inneco showed charts of cocoa and silver and while not identical, some pretty similiar recent action. That same day, I see a chart in the WSJ showing that from the low in 2022 cocoa basically doubled to reach it’s previous ATH from 1977 and has since gone up another 60% after that.

If we say silver doubles to reach it’s ATH at $50 and then proceeds to rise another 60%, that brings it to $80 and cocoa doesn’t look like it is done going higher, yet? I don’t know what historical correlation(if any) there might be, other than just both being commodities, currently in shortages, but that is good enough for now.

“It also makes it a crime to interfere with the kidnappers or to disclose any data about the gender affirming care with anyone other than the kidnap kidnap kidnapper petitioner even if it’s ordered by another court. And it would also become a crime under state law to comply with any oversight or investigation into the kidnappings from”

Germany Is Running Out Of Money And Debt Levels Are Exploding, Finance Minister Warns

German Finance Minister Christian Lindner is warning his own government that state finances are quickly growing out of hand, and the government needs to change course and implement austerity measures.  However, the dispute over spending is only expected to escalate, with budget shortfalls causing open clashes among the three-way left-liberal coalition running the country.
