SCCO - FVITF - BULM - SILA - OLVRF - Currencies - Rare Earths in U. S.
Our God is sovereign ruler of everything, everybody, and every circumstance. However, He created us in His image and gave us minds to think and an eternal soul. He does demand that we obey Him. And we are to show that we love Him by doing so.
John 14:15 "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments." John 14:24 "He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's who sent Me." These passages are quite clear. We demonstrate our love by obedience to King Jesus. Let us pray that the Holy Spirit will guide us in being obedient servants to Jesus Christ.
We are still faced with the big question about which there is much diversion in newsletters. Is the market experiencing a dead cat bounce in a bear market or is this the beginning of a new bull market? Long term, we are still looking at a depreciating dollar and rising precious metals. The Early Warning Report also says that we will be seeing wars, rumors of wars, and increasing defense spending. Richard Mayburg of that newsletter continues to recommend defense stocks and gold. If you are to be in the general market, his recommendation for defense stocks seems to be a good idea. It has been for the last two decades.

U.S. Geological Survey finds U.S. rare earth elements not so rare
The director of the U.S. Geological Survey said domestic rare earth deposits have the potential to meet U.S. REE needs "for years to come." I hope that this is not like too much of hype and miscalculations that often flow from our government. It would be comforting to discover that at least some of the data released is accurate and not just for public consumption. HERE.

Long term gold bull market not yet over - Richard Russell
But, be warned, we've hit an all round mega-bubble, he says, in everything that is tradable and it will continue until someone, purposely or by mistake, pulls the plug. HERE.
Here is the latest graph from Kitco.com. We are being treated to a wide and more volatile trading range during this correction, but gold is holding well above 1300 which is encouraging.
Silver, as gold is more volatile and is staying well above 25 which should give us much comfort. I still expect to see silver outperform gold on a percentage basis as the dollar depreciates and unrest grows. Historic ratio of gold to silver price has been 16 to 1. It now stands at 50.65 to 1, and that is a vast difference.
