drbubb Posted April 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Tony C's : Monday update Posted on April 17, 2017 by tony caldaro SHORT TERM: gap up opening, DOW +184 Overnight the Asian markets lost 0.1%. European markets were closed. US index futures were higher overnight, and at 8:30 the NY FED was reported lower: 5.2 v 16.4. The market gapped up at the open to SPX 2336... The market gapped up at the open for the first time since March 21st. That gap up was sold off, this one was not. The last time a gap up opening was not sold off the same day, was the uptrend high on March 1st. While today’s 20-point rally was a good way to start the week, short term momentum has already risen from quite oversold to overbought. So far it looks like a good bounce within an overall correction. With the SPX/DOW in confirmed downtrends, and the NDX/NAZ still awaiting confirmation. We would expect the latter to confirm a downtrend before this correction ends. Short term support rises to the 2336 and 2321 pivots, with resistance at the 2385 and 2411 pivots. Short term momentum ended the day overbought. Best to your trading!

drbubb Posted April 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 As Hoped - some great news from Wallbridge 7.06 metres of 149.08 g/t gold !!! Bonanza Grades ! RE:HALTED! posted April 18, 2017 10:22 am by forcite http://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/wallbridge-exploration-drilling-at-fenelon-intersects-706-metres-of-14908-gt-gold-confirming-resource-expansion-potential-619713493.html rate and reply TORONTO, April 18, 2017 /CNW/ - Wallbridge Mining Company Limited (TSX:WM, FWB: WC7) ("Wallbridge") is pleased to announce that the initial results from Wallbridge's first drilling program on its 100% owned Fenelon Gold property ("Fenelon") in Quebec have exceeded expectations and have confirmed the resource expansion potential on the property. The exploration drill program at Fenelon commenced in March 2017 and to date nine holes have been completed totaling 1,573 metres. An expanded drilling program will resume when the wet spring conditions subside. Highlights Five of the nine holes completed intersected significant gold mineralization. Drill hole FA-17-07 intersected three mineralized zones including 7.06 metres of 149.08 g/t gold with a higher grade sub-interval of 3.72 metres of 281.30 g/t gold. Drill hole FA-17-08 intersected two mineralized zones including 5.16 g/t gold over 2.68 metres with a higher grade sub-interval of 32.30 g/t gold over 0.39 metres. Drill hole FA-17-02 intersected three mineralized zones including 3.04 g/t gold over 4.58 metres. Drilling proves good continuity of Zone 110, which was not included in the 2016 resource estimate due to insufficient drilling. At least two new zones have been discovered within short distance of the existing ramp to underground workings All mineralized zones remain open and warrant further exploration drilling Exploration target: 240,000 to 400,000 ounces of gold (600,000 to 1,500,000 tonnes at a grade of between 8 and 12 g/t gold) "We are extremely pleased with these initial results which have exceeded our expectations", stated Marz Kord, President and CEO of Wallbridge. "We purchased Fenelon because we saw potential for it to grow far beyond the existing near surface resource. This gold project can not only be brought into production in the near term for low capex, but these exploration drill results demonstrate that there is a lot of potential to expand the gold resources and reserves". He continued, "Our recently completed positive prefeasibility study on the near surface resource support continuing our advancement towards a bulk sample and subsequent production." ===== 0.135 Change: +0.04 : +42.11% On Volume: 1,421,474 update == > WM thread: http://www.greenenergyinvestors.com/index.php?showtopic=21393 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is 49 years, and now is the 50th year which is called a “Jubilee” year. Polny says, “49 years is the end of the cycle. So, the 50th year is a year of cleansing and a year of washing. It’s a year of debt forgiveness. . . .It’s a year of rest. It’s a debt forgiveness year. . . . The old system of debt, bonds and the dollar, those are all debt based instruments. That’s the old . . . that’s part of the cycle which ended. Now you have seven years forward of massive world changes.”Polny also says, “Do expect that this year, 2017, markets will be falling. The dollar will be falling, and gold and silver will never be at these low prices ever again.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of note: while official US retail sales data will be released tomorrow (BofA data always comes several days ahead of the official release), what is especially ominous is that the collapse in department store spending was the biggest on record:http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user5/imageroot/2017/03/06/bigger%20short_0.jpg Breaking down the headline number into components shows a notable decline across virtually all subsegments, with the exception of Cruise Ships (clearly not a concern for much of middle-class America), Home improvement stores and Home goods. Everything else was flat to down substantially.http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user5/imageroot/2017/03/06/sector%20level%20sales_0_0.jpgTo be sure, Bank of America tries to explain the sudden February weakness with the previously documented delay in tax refunds, although that hypothesis does not conform with last week's Gallup survey according to which February Consumer spending was the highest since 2008. This is what BofA says: "We believe that a delay in tax refunds likely biased spending lower in February relative to prior years.Comparing debit and credit card spend is a good indication since presumably usage of debit cards should be more sensitive to the tax refund (proxy for cash) than credit cards (leverage). Indeed, we found that retail sales ex-autos for debit cards declined 1.7% mom while credit card spending was up 1.8% mom. The second test we looked at was by income cohort -- the tax changes are more likely to impact the lower income households given that the EITC and ACTC are aimed at assisting lower-income households. We see this clearly in our data where the lowest income quintile reduced spending by 3.4% while the highest income quintile actually increased spending by 0.9% mom. We combine these two factors in the Chart of the Month to show weaker debit card spending, particularly for lower income households. == > more: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-03-14/something-snapped-us-department-store-sales-crash-most-record > NEW thread: Philadelphia related Equities: http://www.greenenergyinvestors.com/index.php?showtopic=21415 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbubb Posted April 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 STILL WAITING for a Sell signal on stocks - Using TZA, IWM TZA (3x Bear on Russell) ... 2-yrs IWM (etf for Russell 2000) ... 2-yrs : Yes, a correction is coming — but don’t make this common mistake: Technical analystMatt Maley17 Apr 2017 | ETCNBC.com Technical analyst reveals the key levels for the market now Thursday, 13 Apr 2017 | The S&P 500 may be less than 3 percent away from the record highs it hit at the beginning of March, but a close examination of the charts reveals several pieces of evidence that the recent decline is likely to continue. For starters, the yield on the 10-year note continues to slide. On Friday, it broke below its four-month range of 2.6 percent to 2.3 percent. Second, the U.S. dollar/Japanese yen that we've been harping on recently did indeed follow its recent "lower-high" with a "lower-low" last week. As we have said many times in the past, the dollar/yen is a key indicator for the carry trade, in which investors borrow one currency (here, the yen) at a lower interest rate in order to buy another currency with a higher rate (the dollar). As the dollar continues to fall against the yen, those who are in this trade lose money, and the trade becomes less attractive — which, in turn, leaves less liquidity sloshing around in U.S. markets. Another concern we raised recently is the potential that the SOX semiconductor index had become vulnerable. Sure enough, the SOX fell almost 5 percent last week, but more importantly, it broke below its 50-day moving average, which had been very good support for the index since last June. It now stands 2.5 percent below that line, so this would be considered a meaningful break of that moving average. At this point, if the SOX fails to bounce back quickly and strongly, it's going to be quite negative for the group. And if you're wondering why this matters, just remember that the semiconductor group has been a key leader in the post-election rally. Speaking of tech, the broader XLK tech ETF also broke below its 50-day moving average last week, but only by a very small amount. If this index follows the SOX lower, it's going to take away an important leg in the bullish stool for the stock market. Having said all this, we want to be crystal clear: We are not calling for a repeat of 2008 by any means. Pullbacks and corrections are normal and healthy. Since the 2009 lows, we've seen a pullback of at least 7 percent in every year since then — and in most of those years (2010, 2011, 2012, 2015 and 2016) we've seen official corrections of 10 percent or more. And yet the stock market has still been able to rally more than 240 percent from its 2009 lows. In other words, you should stop worrying about whether pullbacks will happen, because we already know that they will. Instead, you should focus on how to take advantage of the next drop, so that you know what to do once it takes place. == > http://www.cnbc.com/2017/04/17/a-correction-is-coming-but-dont-make-this-mistake-technical-analyst.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbubb Posted April 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Analyst Who Predicted Trump’s Ascendancy Bets on Le Pen Win by Sid Verma April 21, 2017 Undecided voters bad news for Macron, says GaveKal’s founder Recommends overweight sterling, large-caps; bond shorts How Will Markets React to Elections in France? Don’t bank on a relief rally in the euro area anytime soon. Markets are underpricing the prospect of Marine Le Pen emerging victorious in the French election as a sea of undecided voters throws into sharp relief pronounced apathy for center-leftist Emmanuel Macron -- the front-runner by a whisker -- and the backlash against the European Union project. That’s the conclusion drawn by Charles Gave, founder of Hong-Kong based asset-allocation consultancy GaveKal Research, who predicted the triumph of Donald Trump in the U.S. election, and is now betting on a win for the anti-euro National Front candidate. “Le Pen’s momentum is a slow-moving reaction against the men of Davos -- as we have seen with Brexit and Trump -- but markets don’t want to believe it,” he said by phone before the first round of the French poll on April 23. Given the prospect of a Le Pen victory, Gave, who has been researching tactical asset allocation for more than 40 years, is advising clients to adopt long positioning in the pound as the U.K. would benefit from haven bids, and shorts on inflation-linked German bonds amid the risk of deflation in the euro area. == > more: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-04-21/analyst-who-predicted-trump-ascendancy-is-betting-on-le-pen-win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbubb Posted April 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Huffington Post Writer Suggests Stripping Men of Voting Rights Apr 14, 2017 Source: breitbart.com Tags: Cultural Marxism Feminism leftists The South African edition of left wing media site The Huffington Post has published an opinion piece accusing white men of being a retrograde force in politics and calling for the vote to be withdrawn from the racial gender group as a means to advance the “progressive cause”. Writing on the potential to run down the political and social influence of “toxic white males” by withdrawing their right to the ballot, Huffington Post contributor Shelley Garland — who describes herself as an “activist and a feminist” student who is “working on ways to smash the patriarchy” —says the change only need be enacted for 20 to 30 years or so. This period would “go some way to seeing a decline in the influence of reactionary and neo-liberal ideology in the world”. Blaming white males for “Some of the biggest blows to the progressive cause in the past year” including Brexit and the election of President Donald Trump, Garland’s apparently serious piece claimed just a couple of decades of white men being excluded from elections could see such progressive leaps forward as the collapse of Western law and capitalism, and a massive redistribution of wealth from “toxic white masculinity” through “expropriation of these various assets”. Among the charges laid at the feet of white males by the author are the 2008 recession, and “500 years colonialism, slavery, and various aggressive wars and genocides”. If this was about any other group it would be the end of @HuffingtonPost Is It Time To Deny #WhiteMen The #Vote ? https://t.co/de5QnvEdgt — Ben Harris-Quinney (@B_HQ) April 13, 2017 == The extremely sexist and racist nature of the piece has been noted by many on social media. Ben Harris-Quinney, chairman of Britain’s oldest Conservative think tank The Bow Group, took to Twitter to suggest that had the piece targeted any other minority group as opposed to white males, it would “be the end” of the online publication. == > https://redice.tv/news/huffington-post-writer-suggests-stripping-men-of-voting-rights We need to get our act together and CRUSH anti-white-male bigotry whenever she rears her ugly head Shelley Garland Is this a man in drag? “working on ways to smash the patriarchy” I reckon she could take a few counter-arguments on the road to "smashing the patriarchy" Perhaps closing down Huffpost, and causing her to lose her job might be a decent start "is this a man in drag?" The story has been revealed as a Fake, and Huffpost fell for it. Unfortunately the GUY who penned it has now been fired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philippines Public debt, owed externally, is falling - as a Percentage of GDP.
