Back from a week off. My account looks similar and only three stocks were stopped out. Not too bad really.
More censoring over at BBT I see. I think the discussion is valuable given all the misinformation out there in the MSM. And agreeing on everything should not be a requirement for a respectful dialogue. However, I guess Poly wants to keep things exclusively to trading, so fair enough.

My problem with it is that geopolitical events and religion affect the markets. It is all tied together.

My problem with it is that geopolitical events and religion affect the markets. It is all tied together. it is true that everything is intertwined but strictly from a longer term perspective. BBT has become, for the most part, a day-trader type of site (anything more than a couple of days is considered long term) which is evident with all the concern being considered with every wiggle each and every day. Plus there are plenty of these "I bought XXX today" type of traders who appear to be more interested in not missing any type of move rather than making money. I will say however, from time to time there do appear some very intelligent posts from a wide variety of posters covering technical and fundamental analysis which is the type of analysis that interests myself. |

If we hit 27.07 on GDX, it should produce some buying imo.

If we hit 27.07 on GDX, it should produce some buying imo. I have my eyes on GDXJ instead; (based on my work, at this time it is more telling). Basically, it needs to break above 44.68 and on the day it does do this, it needs to close "strong" (Above its mid-point of the day's range) on said session. It is not necessary that it will immediately take off but it will suggest to me that the break of July 10th to new highs that was reversed, was a significant break-out and instead the reversal is what becomes suspect |

Not a great finish for GDXJ. Final 3 minutes trashed it. But I still like this action so far....

Yep, put out an alternative view (even if it's shared by 80%+ of the planet) and it will get attacked and/or censored. What's the point of one-sided dialogue? I especially like when nobody can put up one stinking video to support there view, instead try to label the person who does. Actions speak louder than words, and if they had any content at all it'd be getting shoved down our throats just like the baseless propaganda we all endure every day. Nobody can show me any real damage to Israel despite the "raging ancient war" going on. Bullshit, it's nothing but a slaughter of the people and total destruction of their homes, animals, and property. That video I posted on BBT yesterday was important b/c that town was leveled just 20 minutes before the cease-fire went into effect. Yeah, Israel if fighting a "war", and all they really want is peace, too! Regarding metals and miners, they're just biding time, going mostly sideways since middle of June just like markets do. I can't afford to be out on the sidelines trying to time the short term when the periodic bursts occur, so will continue to hold everything through eventual pullbacks. I like how the moving averages have not only crossed, but are starting higher, it's bull market behavior: stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=GDX&p=D&yr=0&mn=8&dy=0&id=p76788807418 |

New video, have a look at the firepower being used on people that aren't fighting or in the area. Notice the amount of ammo the IDF expends, nobody that pays for ammunition wastes it like that, Americans buy it all for Israel. It sure looks like Israel is just defending itself! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww2hbbuGN2EDon't forget to read a few of the comments below the video. |

I think the two videos are the same or very similar.

That's the extent of your observations on the videos? I find it that hard to believe. How about the big picture?

The big picture, IMHO, is that there are a very few people at the top who make the decisions for any countries to go to war with any other countries. So, it's not so much "country against country". It's the people who are making those decisions (certainly not the citizenry), and even more importantly, the reasons why they are doing it.

I just assumed that it goes without saying what my feelings are regarding this conflict since I have expressed them at length. I view it as a fully apartheid state with the Israeli government basically committing genocide on the Palestinians. The video is consistent with that view. That said, I agree with Platy that these wars are class wars and it is certainly not above any government or ruling elite to sacrifice it's own people for monetary gain, just as was done in World War 2 by Jewish and American bankers (not to mention World War 1). Every war is about the higher class convincing the lower class to fight for their economic benefit by promoting false constructs like democracy and freedom.

Actually, although monetary gain is part of it, I don't think that's the primary goal. They already have all the money in the world.

Yeah control definitely but it's more than that... ultimately they need to escape blame for when it all falls apart. War is a distraction. So that's part of it too.
But it goes even deeper than that. They are following script. You could call it "Groundhog's Day".
