One of the great things about living in the country is that God in his providence continually teaches you that life is more fragile than you assume, so don't take it for granted. Today, our tenuous link to the outer world through the Wi-Fi internet is down. Hence I must commentate off my cell phone, which I love like a nest of chiggers, then hunt a place to transmit. Stocks rose today, the Dow up 64.33 (036%) to 18,076.27 & the S&P500 up 4.47 (0.21%) to 2,114.07. This is all meaningless noise in a market whose overall trend is rolling over to the Mariannas Trench. High is behind us. Most eye-catching today was the US dollar index. Merciful heavens! After it got hit by a car yesterday, it stood up and fell into an open manhole today, down 51 basis points (0.54%) to 95.36. Yes, that is a close below the 20 DMA (and long ago the 50 DMA) and argues loud and harsh that the April high at 100.27 was THE high for the rally that began a year ago July. Case you aren't paying attention, this is GOOD news for silver & gold. But if it's such good news, why did they fall today? Media reports gold fell on "Greece hopes & stock gains." For the rational and fastidious mind, that explains nothing. On hopes of resolving the Greek sovereign debt crisis, maybe, but on a stock market up 0.36%, not a chance, Louise. Technically, silver dipped into the even-sided triangle we've been watching, but gold did not, although it reached its lowest level in three weeks. The back and forth is wearing me out. They sink, but buyers won't let them sink to the bottom. They rise, but sellers cap the rise. Either it is finely balanced and monstrous strength, or it is a world of indifference. I am most interested in what silver will do tomorrow. If it holds & turns up, then maybe today was the low of it. If not, we will be doomed to grind out a weary June guessing each day if we've seen the low. I'm still bothered by silver & gold weakness coupled with dollar weakens. That ain't right. Of course, the Nice Government Men might be making sure the market doesn't panic in the face of a tumbling dollar & fumbling Greece. Is it real or Memorex? Who knows? SPECIAL OFFER: US 1/10 GOLD AMERICAN EAGLES Somehow or other I wound up with 200 One-tenth ounce gold American Eagles in stock, an item I seldom stock. These are 22 karat (91-2/3% pure gold) & have a net fine gold content of 0.1000 troy ounce. I am pricing them to say good-bye to them, $134.00 each. This is your PRIME survival coin.
