Stocks And Precious Metals Charts - Comex Option Expiration At The End Of The Week

"Wouldn't it be convenient for the oligarchs if their think tanks could somehow concoct a story, some plausible sounding theory, to persuade a portion of the world's population to hold dollar assets, expecting them to gain in value, even in the face of significant defaults and credit failures and a deteriorating return in GDP growth per marginal dollar debt? Or even better, getting them to remain fully invested in a series of artificially contrived dollar denominated financial assets that could be selectively 'pulled down' while keeping the overall scheme intact and running.

Bernays would be proud." - Jesse, 16 June 2010

Stocks attempted to rally in the new week and the last of the month of February.

But alas, the early morning pop faded substantially into the afternoon. But they did finish slightly positive to flat.

Gold and silver finished off a bit.

There will be a Comex option expiration at the end of the week.

The Dollar was lower.

Have a pleasant evening.
