[quote=moneymaker]Yep that is what Bloomberg shows. I should probably start selling. Did you mean spot? Futures is something else,right. On kitco http://www.kitco.com/charts/livesilver.html it shows silver going straight up.[/quote]

Effectively, the same thing. The spot price is the current front month futures contract price. I know a lot of sites will tell you right up front that spot and futures are not the same. And they’re not. Exactly. Because there are futures contracts for every month. But spot IS the same as the front month future. It was going up, back down the last few minutes. Trading closes at 5 EDT.

[quote=moneymaker]Bloomberg says silver is at $19.84, higher than kitco says on their website.[/quote]

It really does change second by second. I’m not familiar with kitco, but if you’re not watching a live quote, it’s likely to be inaccurate. This moment, spot silver futures are at $19.94.

NSR, I do agree that Black people are often too sensitive and unnecesarily worry about being dissed. But I do understand why.

[/quote]
I don’t get this. If you’ve never been black (which I presume you haven’t), how can you possibly know if “Black people are often too sensitive”? You can’t possibly ever see anything from the perspective of a black man. And I can tell you from first hand experience, if you’ve ever been part of a minority that has been discriminated against, the world does not look the same.[/quote]

Just for the sake of argument – since you can only know your own perspective, whatever that may be, how can you know “the world does not look the same” as it does to someone else? That would require understanding two perspectives and comparing them, which you have said can’t be done. All that being said, I think the “too sensitive” comment was an unjustified sweeping generalization – but Brian knows I disagree with him most of the time.[/quote]

I guess I can’t know that the world does not look the same. What I do know is that I’ve been sensitive to what others have said or done, and others couldn’t see my perspective. But none of the others had ever opened up a job rejection letter that said “We won’t hire you because we don’t hire jew boys”.[/quote]

I think you would have a hard time finding someone who hasn’t been excluded from something for reasons of prejudice. Women, those who are short, tall, not wealthy, not attractive, not from a certain cultural background, etc, etc. have all felt it. In the Upper peninsula of Michigan, they make fun of (and discriminate against) the Finns. The key is finding a way to succeed notwithstanding the prejudice.[/quote]

You’ve missed my point. Which is that calling a reaction to something like the referenced red cross poster “too sensitive” is absurd. Everyone’s perception is different. Obviously, some here don’t have any problem with it. Some even search for absurd excuses why it can’t possibly be racist. Even two members of the same group may have different reactions.

[quote=livinincali]I’d like to vote for a candidate that will break the medical and pharmaceutical monopolies. Unfortunately even if someone was willing to do that it would create some significant short term economic damage.[/quote]

I don’t think there is any way it could do any short term damage to anyone but shareholders of pharmaceutical companies.

What I’ve been reading lately is that, while the mined supply of platinum is still well below that of gold, the amount that is being mined annually/total supply is much larger than the same for gold. So it will continue to act as an alternative fiat to $$ and gold, but it will continue to degrade as compared to gold. The thing that’s stumping me is finding its actual utility value. Various sources are saying less than 2% of annual production is used for industrial purposes. Some are implying there are significant expected future uses. I suspect that won’t increase the value. I have a small amount. I’m considering dumping it.

[quote=flu]Platinum at 1002
Silver at 18.32
Gold at 1320[/quote]

At the moment, one of those things is not like the other. Silver at its 52 week high that it hasn’t been close to before now. Gold just fell off its 52 week high that it wasn’t close to before the end of last weekend.

Pl not even close to its 52 week high, and has been higher, even substantially higher 4 times this year, and began the year much higher than it is now. It may return to being correlated though that’s unlikely. It’s not going to catch up.

None of them trade related to their utility value. They are fiats. And Platinum, not a very good one. And I suspect the non-correlative behavior of Pl will get worse, because of significantly greater supply deltas as compared to either gold or silver.

[quote=bearishgurl]SK, the women of the US got their justice with the SCOTUS this morning, written by none other than J. Ruth Bader Ginsburg. See, she WAS able to make a difference in womens’ lives in her lifetime!

You can relax, now.

No, I can’t. You think women haters and forced-birthers are going to relax? They will challenge and damage women’s health the moment they get the chance. And the only way to prevent that chance is to protect the court from ideologues like Thomas, Alito and Scalia.

So still no? Still nothing more than stories? No evidence? No data to support the 25% claim?

[SK in CV]

So I guess that’s a no? No actual evidence? Just anecdotes? You know that’s not the same as data, right?

[SK in CV]

But still no evidence to support your outrageous “25%” claim?

According to someone I know, the market is pricing in a $140 move in the S&P for the week and is likely to close this Friday $70 up or down from it’s close from last Friday.

[quote=flu]Just curious, do you have examples of the kind of seminars where you learn this stuff? I’m not sure I would do it, but as anything, there’s a lot of seminars that really aren’t seminars, and there are ones that are actually useful I guess. I’m just trying to understand how to spot the legitimate seminars from the ones that are like Trump University/Robert Kiyosaki), when ends up being an informercial and “training” that consists of trying to buy more training…(No I’ve never spent money on these classes, but did get a few free dinners out of them for just showing up a long long time ago)[/quote]

Now that I’m not working, I listen to Tom Sosnoff almost every morning from 5 to 8:30 They do tons of research, and know their shit. I’ve seen them present a few times, usually in conjunction with TD/Ameritrade Market Drive events. (Not a whole lot of selling stuff either.) So do the TD guys. I use their TOS platform (which Sosnoff developed and sold to Ameritrade for jillion dollars) to trade.
