These are certainly confusing and volatile times.

I have a recurring feeling that some revelation will unfold for us before or around Sunday, August 2.

Usually, these sorts of things in the market reach their critical points in September and October. But given this is an election year, perhaps it will be a bit earlier.

Stocks failed at any rally attempts and gave it up in a big way in recognition that the coronavirus is not going to obey our wishes or listen to our commands.

Gold and silver gained background, with gold putting in one of those yo-yo days that so often follow a Comex expiration.

Personally I am inclined to just sit tight and hang on here, hedging around the core positions perhaps.

Be careful of the lies you ingest; they may give you indigestion.

It is hard enough for us to stand fast and maintain ourselves in this time of the beast.

Let us be even more careful of the lies and hateful things that we may be tempted to repeat to others, especially those for whom we have some responsibilities, who listen to us out of love and respect, for those actions will not be easily forgiven.

Have a pleasant weekend.
