Sadly the US gold reserves might be imaginary as the US has sold alot of gold like the UKz and the US still refuses to show the gold at Fort Knox. However BRICS and ASEAN countries are buying gold like there is no tomorrow. That said a lot of gold did go from Iraq and Afghanistan to the US when they were invaded.

No suprises here.  This is to be expected and happens with most wars.

In the navy don't you have to respond to orders even if you don't respect the person above you too?  Even more so, I'd think.

Interesting.  Never heard about this before.

RIP Tony.  And yes American needs a lot of healing.  We are stronger together than apart.

The $GME fiasco has been making my head spin. On the one hand, the stock keeps going up and I want to jump on the band wagon. But there is a reason these stocks were shortened - the financials simply don't support these prices and it won't last. Honestly, I don't know if some of these companies will even survive the pandemic without filing for chapter 11.

While #Zoom will never be as large again post-Covid, as it was during, it's certainly going to be a hell of a lot better than pre-Covid. $ZM

What's your take on how the election uncertainty will impact the markets? Trump's refusal to concede, etc.

Good thoughts.

Agreed.
