Stocks rallied again today. A higher stock market seems to be important to our current leaders, since it is an emblem of success and American exceptionalism and as a useful platform for looting the republic, transferring money from the public to favored insiders.

Gold and silver had another bout of selling but with a rebound into the late afternoon.

The precious metals are important, since they tend to shine a light on truths about valuation. 

Those who choose to resist the abuses of the Anglo-American banking cartel will continue to employ alternative means, which include gold and silver, as safe havens and of currency instruments of last resort.

VIX ticked up a bit. The mispricing of risk is becoming untenable. But it will go on while the music is playing.

The Dollar dipped a bit.

Bitcoin took a shot lower in the closer hour. It is an ephemeral thing, a construct of the modern imagination.  

But people will do what they will. Until they cannot.

Have a pleasant evening.
