Stocks and Precious Metals Charts - Where Angels Fear to Tread

Stocks were for the most part higher.

Gold and silver were knocked back down.

The Dollar drifted a bit higher.

We are in one of those periods of deep denial, of business as usual.

The scams of yesterday and the brute assertion of our own reality is an old habit that remains.

It might even be safe to say that this has been our default approach to life for some time now.

It is certainly the style of choice for a good part of the public, and their thought leaders and talking heads.

I have never thought I would see so many people just throwing themselves away.

The amazement at the willful blindness reminds me of the astonishment at folly of the German people in the letters that Bonhoeffer wrote from prison.

We have no shame, no sense of proportion or our own place in our selfishness and mad defiance.

And we do it because, in the short term, we can.

Have a pleasant evening.
