@chambleebrandel Can you imagine the masters being a liv golf tournament and a shotgun start where Rory was playing the fourth hole or something absolutely ridiculous concept

Given that the product was so ill-conceived and ended up being worse than anyone could have imagined - with shotgun starts, initially 54 holes, a team concept that was nothing but laughable and tournaments that meant and continue to mean nothing, and such a paltry number of viewers, losing billions along the way - would it surprise anyone if the Saudis came to their corrupted senses and finally euthanized the whole lame-brained tour.

@GZuckerman wonder how it did compared to jim cramer.............

@EmmanuelMacron But it’s OK to fire rockets into Israel. Emmanuel. Huh

I have just spoken with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam. I expressed France’s full solidarity in the face of the indiscriminate strikes carried out by Israel in Lebanon today, which resulted in a very high number of civilian casualties. We condemn these strikes in the strongest possible terms. They pose a direct threat to the sustainability of the ceasefire that has just been reached. Lebanon must be fully covered by it. I reiterated the need to preserve Lebanon’s territorial integrity and France’s determination to support the efforts of the Lebanese authorities to uphold the country’s sovereignty and implement the Hezbollah disarmament plan.

@quakes99 This was an exceptional interview, and that was one thing I was never aware of before. Lucian always does an excellent job.

Another interesting tidbit is that Cameco deliberately sells more #Uranium than it produces so that they need to buy Spot lbs, with a strategy of stepping in as buyers to support the Spot price so as to protect the delivery price on their spot-referenced supply contracts.📈🛒🤠🐂

@fleckcap @jonnajarian try asking her why we have womens sports. it should be unisex. see how many women qualify in any of these sports.

@jonnajarian easy, she doesnt have any analytical or critical thinking skills.

@fleckcap @bassamus If Biden or Harris did it they would be heroes Amazing rescue.

@bassamus The msm, always focused on the negatives or they just lie.

This picture look the same as the one from the failed hostage rescue mission during by Jimmy Carter.. if anyone can find it

ALL 6 NEW ENGLAND GOVERNORS SIGN JOINT NUCLEAR STATEMENT • Nuclear supplies ~25% of New England electricity today. Governors from CT, ME, MA, NH, RI, and VT jointly commit to maintaining and building on that foundation. • Demand outlook is significant. ISO New England projects electricity consumption rising >40% over 20 years, with winter peak demand expected to double by 2045. • Clear grid signal: reliability, fuel security, and firm capacity are central concerns as demand grows and winter constraints persist. • Two directives: 1.Preserve existing nuclear generation through coordinated regional action 2.Explore deployment of advanced nuclear in willing states and communities • Financing explicitly addressed. States will evaluate: – Innovative financing structures – Federal funding opportunities – Public-private partnerships – Regulatory frameworks to protect consumers • Siting approach is bottom-up. Emphasis on: – Community consent – Local decision-making – Addressing waste, safety, cost, and security concerns • Region already has nuclear ecosystem advantages: operating fleet, university R&D (fission + fusion), private investment, and naval nuclear presence. Bipartisan, multi-state alignment framing nuclear as essential to grid reliability, affordability, and future capacity expansion in New England. $CEG $VST $SMR $OKLO $BWXT $GEV $URA $URNM

@SpeculatorPL1 @DefiWimar @StuOnGold So right.

You are fundamentally misunderstanding how options mechanics work here. This buyer does NOT expect Gold to hit $15,000. This is a pure Volatility (Vega) play. Deep Out-Of-The-Money (OTM) calls are dirt cheap. If Gold makes a sudden, violent move to $5k or $6k, Implied Volatility (IV) will explode. The premium on these $15k calls will multiply 10x or 20x purely from the Vega spike. They will sell the contracts for a massive profit long before expiration. They are trading the panic and volatility expansion, not the price target.

🚨 WARNING: SOMETHING EXTREMELY UNUSUAL IS HAPPENING!! Insiders are buying COMEX Gold options at $15,000 - $20,000 for December 2026. Gold is around $4,500 right now. This means THEY EXPECT THE GOLD PRICE TO TRIPLE. And if you think that's just gambling YOU'RE COMPLETELY WRONG. Let me explain this in simple words. This position did NOT show up before the top. It started building after gold printed above $5,600, then got hit by its biggest one-day dump in decades. That's the part most people miss. Retail sold the panic. This buyer kept adding. Even after gold dropped back toward $4,500. Now the structure is around 11,000 contracts. About 1.1 MILLION ounces. About $4.95 BILLION of gold at today's price. About $16.5 BILLION of gold at the $15,000 strike. That is NOT a normal trade. It's someone positioning for a full repricing. Now connect the dots. Normal bank targets for 2026 are around $6,100-$6,300. This trade starts paying in the $15,000 area. That tells you everything. This is NOT someone positioning for a normal bull case. It's someone positioning for a monetary event, a crisis event, or a market break big enough to make $15,000 gold look realistic. And that's why the timing matters. This buying did NOT start during euphoria. It started after the flush, when gold had already broken hard and most people were busy calling the top. That one fact explains a lot. Because real size usually does NOT chase headlines. It waits for stress, it waits for disbelief, and then it builds. So if you're asking what this means, the answer is simple. Somebody with serious money is still paying for extreme upside in gold, even after the biggest correction in decades. That's preparation. I've studied macro for 10 years and I called almost every major market top, including the October BTC ATH. Follow and turn notifications on. I'll post the warning BEFORE it hits the headlines.

@adamtaggart Clavell was great author

I grew up reading James Clavell's books about Asia I thought the recent remake of Shogun was a tour de force But I just watched a 1988 mini-series of Noble House & was quite pleasantly surprised how good it was Great performances by a young Pierce Brosnan, John Rys-Davies & Deborah Raffin, who I wasn't familiar with before Great story, strong dialog & pacing, and very fun to see so much of old Hong Kong Other than the cheesy soundtrack, opening graphics & a few clunky love scenes, the production really stands the test of time If you were a fan of the book, I think you'd enjoy giving this a watch Part 1: youtu.be/pjbFITBucns?si… Part 2: youtu.be/RjIki5dySdA?si…

@Chartfest1 what do charts say of cards vs gold?

@BarkenLarry Hopeful

Opening Day. Go Cards!

@KeithMcCullough You are insufferable Keith, but I subscribed a long time ago. Lol

I've been called worse by better. Usually right before they subscribed

@GZuckerman If they can make it up in Volume. They can increase the active users to over 1 billion. Oh they would lose more

Stat of the day, via the Neuron: ChatGPT has 900 million weekly active users. Only 50 million are paying. Running the platform costs abt $17 billion a year.

@Jkylebass @SenMarkKelly @Kasparov63 Markie. Dems pulled this stunt. Open government.

@SenMarkKelly @Kasparov63 The Schumer Shutdown must stop…but not to allow democrats to welcome illegal aliens to vote in our elections.

The chaos at airports could end today but there is one person singlehandedly blocking the effort to get paychecks to TSA: Donald Trump. He refuses to accept a deal and would rather leave Americans standing in lines for hours.

@fleckcap @Michael951413 Can u say that? Lol. Good for u fleck

@Michael951413 what if he was white and/or wealthy? capricious lawlessness is what seattle and washington have become as a result of suicidal empathy.

@htsfhickey Saw they gold miners percentage bullish index was 3.7 what about the DSI? How is that for gold and silver. Must be getting close on some of the ones you sold.

A negative story on gold in today's Wall Street Journal. When gold was soaring and all the headlines were gold bullish (including rising Wall St. target prices), I grew more worried. I'd like to see more of these dour headlines. wsj.com/finance/commod…
