Don't miss the point: the goal of the panic has changed. In 2008 everything -- gold, silver, stocks -- tanked while the US dollar & bonds soared. Brexit hit and some ran into US dollars, a few into yen, but many ran for gold. Change of quality. Sea change. Never be the same again. Disregard the last two days' stock market rise. Nice Government Men strapped on their hernia trusses & started lifting with all their might, sending eraser boogers & paper scraps & memo pads flyin' every which way. They are trying to lift stocks & the euro, and smother the dollar. Don't even bother to sneer at me, history responds with one voice that central banks & governments manipulate markets, and never more readily than when their toe is in the wringer. All their manipulation won't extract that toe. Brexit licked the globalists like Forrest licked yankees. Expect counterattacks political and economic. Economic already arrived with market manipulation, including S&P's downgrade of the UK's credit rating. Media is hot as a cast iron stove denouncing economic doom to fall on Great Britain. Laughable, if you have the patience to listen to it without slamming your hand on the off knob. Political counterattack already began in Brussels, with full propaganda offensive. Elitists are moving within the EU to close off all possibility of any other country following the UK's example. I was simply wrong. Didn't believe the British would do it -- God bless 'em! -- & underestimated the following panic. Brexit was not a cause, but a mighty catalyst. Can't put broken eggs back together, Humpty Dumpty. Today stocks rose vigorously again, leaving behind their 200 DMAs & crossing back above those head & shoulders necklines they broke on Monday. In the past two days the Dow has gained 554.44, gaining 284.96 (1.64%) today & closing at 17,694.68. S&P500 has done even better, up today 34.68 (1.7%) to 2,070.77. What doth it say? Don't say squat. Can't put broken eggs back together, & this plunge was simply waiting for a trigger. Don't blame it on Brexit. Something -- not gravity or nature -- has been pushing back the dollar last two days. Gave up 53 basis points yesterday and 48 more today (0.49%) to end today at 95.86. Nice Government Men are trying to shove hair spray back into the aerosol can. Dollar will rise much higher. Therefore I am not impressed by the euros 0.51% rise to $1.1121 today. Chart looks like 5 miles of bad Georgia road and even today it can hardly get over its 200 DMA. Doom has its icy claws deep into the euro's flesh, & will not let go till it's shredded. Before it's all over, the euro will vanish. Look for yourself, http://schrts.co/HcRUv0 Yen slid 0.05% to 97.27. Looks like it has run out of go-juice & may reverse. Gold tested support at $1,308 yesterday & today & passed the test with flying colors. Rose 0.7% or $8.60 today to close Comex at $1,323.90. Silver, O SILVER, finally caught up to gold today & vaulted through the May high (18.06) & closed above that resistance. Silver added 51.9¢ (2.9%) today to 1836.2¢, confirmed by high volume. High reached 1858¢. Events are validating my interpretation that the December 2015 lows marked the final lows & end of the bear phase from August 2011, AND that a rally began in January, AND that the 1 May tops were merely the top of the first leg up, AND that the lows at end-May marked the beginning of the next leg up. Get out of silver & gold's way. They'll run y'all down. I don't want to tell y'all how far I expect this rally to reach, 'cause y'all won't believe me anyway. Time to buy silver & gold, on this silver breakout today, & time to sell stocks & put the proceeds into gold & silver. I'm not going to tell y'all my downside targets for stocks, either, 'cause y'all will just hoot & disbelieve. Just let's say they will dwindle -- like your hairpiece in a windstorm. Silver chart is right here, http://schrts.co/uZ4qEN Gold is here, http://schrts.co/iOtTZn SPECIAL OFFER: Tomorrow the calendar quarter ends, & I want to clean out my inventory. Behold, prices are reduced to sell quickly. LOT No. 1: AUSTRIAN SMALL COIN BONANZA After the French Latin Monetary Union made the 20 franc gold coin (0.1867 oz) standard across Europe, the Austro Hungarian mint issued dual denomination trade coinage in the same size. The 20 franc/8 florins contains 0.1867 oz ($255.25) and the 10 franc/4 florins contains 0.0933 oz (costs $129.15 each). I have 8 Hungarian 20 fr/8fl, 2 Austrian 20fr/8fl, and Four Austrian 10fr/4fl. PLUS Five old (Napoleon III) French ten francs at $129.15 each. (total 2.7072 oz). These A-H coins may be official re-strikes or original issue, but that doesn't affect their value. In 1892 the A-H empire began minting gold coins denominated in coronas. I have Two Austrian 20 coronas ($268.10, 0.1960 oz) and Three Austrian 10 coronas ($134.05, 0.0980 oz). ALSO, I have 4 Austrian one ducats, yes, the coin you read about in Shakespeare and which dates back to 1150, containing 0.1106 troy ounce, at $154.50 each. Altogether that amounts to 3.8351 troy ounces total. Price for the lot is $5,271.20 + $35 shipping, a total of $5,306.20. Premium on the whole lot is 3.8% over spot gold. I might as well give it away. LOT NO. 2, GOLD CANADIAN MAPLE LEAVES The Canadians pioneered the 24 karat gold coin when they introduced the Maple Leaf in 1979. Later they copied the South Africans by introducing half, quarter, and tenth ounce denominations. I have three (3) .9999 fine one ounce Maple Leaves at $1,372.75 as well as Ten (10) one-tenth ounce Maple Leaves at $147.60 each. That totals 4.0000 oz. for $5,594.25 + $35 shipping, a total of $5,629.25. Premium on the lot amounts to 5.6%. LOT NO. 3, ONE OUNCE PURE GOLD BARS P.A.M.P. stands for Produits Artistiques Métaux Précieux or in English, Artistic Precious Metals Products. That's a Swiss refinery. The Perth Mint is located, coincidentally enough, in Perth, Australia. Both companies produce one troy ounce 0.9999 fine gold bars. I have a total of seven (1 PAMP, 6 Perth). Each bar is $1,375.75 (a 3.9% premium over gold value), so the seven bar lot costs $9,630.25 plus $35 shipping for a total of $9,665.25. One lot only, no re-orders at this ridiculous price. LOT NO. 4, TENTH Oz. GOLD AMERICAN EAGLES Somehow I have accumulated sixty-eight (68) one-tenth ounce gold American Eagles. I will sell them at $148.65 each in lots of Thirty-four (34), for a subtotal of $5,054.10. Add $35 for shipping and the total is $5,089.10 per lot. I have only Two (2) lots and cannot re-order at this price. I make no apology for the 12.3% premium, because it's still lower than you can find them elsewhere. If you order multiple lots, we charge shipping only once. Special Conditions: First come, first served, and no re-orders at these prices. I will write orders based on the time I receive your e-mail. Sorry, we will not take orders for less than the minimum shown above. All sales on a strict "no-nag" basis.
