it is amazing to me , rallies occur folks jump on get all bulled up , and then its the rinse cycle. when gold went into the parabola in 79 inflation was ripping , rates were being steadily raised by volcker even outside of fed meetings. and the news was electric-russia invaded afghanistan, the shah of iran was toppled. , commodities were in bull markets. now the backdrop of huge debt is there. the fed is confused offering to reduce their balance sheet , threatening to raise rates, and in general doing little to nothing.
the gold/gdx market is not oversold on a daily , after being way overbought on a daily, so i did some nibbling some days back , now i am waiting for the despair. the chess match w/n/korea is at a stall. china told n/korea if they initiate the war, china will not back them. s/korea told the usa the same. so the sound and fury will be reduced to words- all of us say thank you. so, golds rise from this geopolitical mess will look for other catalysts. dont fret there are tons of possibilities. the debt is not going away, and it can never be paid. longer term this is the place to be. in the short term one can experience death by a 1000 cuts. every day brings us closer to the stark reality =this system of fiat has been stretched. it is near its end
