is silver aligning with the Dow? if so, we could be in for a bit of turbulence as the Dow re-tests support somewhere under 20,000 then returns to new highs after Trump wins. I think Martin Armstrong is right in that talk of USD hyper-inflation is nonsense. What happens when Madame Lagarde flicks the switch and the Euro goes digital? How do PMs react on the brink of a Global Depression? Will USD strength continue to put downward pressure on silver/gold, or, will Trump’s efforts to bring the dollar down boost PMs? What if some of that toilet paper rage spills over into the tiny silver market as people re-discover the antimicrobial properties of silver?

Armstrong’s work on cycles points to the start of a grand shift of capital from ‘public’ to ’private’ which is generally bullish for equities, pm’s, real estate, fine art. Not here to talk Armstrong’s book, just a few random thoughts about where we’re at: Maslins disappointment can be quarantined for the time being; Paris is a pretty solid ‘insurance policy’. Andrew Mcllwain and the IVR team have really distinguished themselves without much reward. Long overdue respects to you too Goldie - thanks for all you’ve done over the years to keep us in the picture. Personally, I had higher hopes for Malins but more upset with IVR failure at Nankivel.
