A Night of Reflection, Ranting and Writing - Bye Bye Bond Market

I read an article today that inspired me to write a little opinion piece in regards to the bond markets and how they interact with interest rates. Perhaps this will enlighten some of those who don't fully understand the concept of bond purchases to keep interest rates lower. What of the correlation between bond yields and interest rates? Read on to find out...

KWN - Rosen - Expect Stunning $233 For Silver As It Begins To Soar

The peak of $21.44 after the first triangle was 3.93 times the triangle low of $5.455.

The peak of $49.82 after the second triangle was 5.93 times the triangle low of $8.40. 

The third triangle had its breakout to the upside and appears to have completed its testing of that breakout level.  If we use the Fibonacci progression that has followed each triangle, the next peak should be 8.93 times the third triangle low of $26.105.  This would produce the next silver high of roughly $233....

Man Down

This is something I wrote to my mother in regards to an event that occurred recently at a Ford plant. one of her friends mentioned to her that she knew of people working in this plant,and they had delayed to her information that a worker had collapsed on the assembly line.

Naturally, this man's coworkers rushed to his aid - who wouldn't, after all?

This was a problem for the management, apparently. The workers were instructed to go nowhere near the man. Now, when situations like this arise, it is important to act quickly. Had one of the workers been trained in CPR and first aid, they may have been able to help; however, they never would have gotten the chance. The management demanded that the workers leave their fallen friend and continue work.

This delayed the process until such a time that management could call an ambulance. Unfortunately, by then it was too late. The man died - whether in-transit to the hospital or at the hospital itself, I don't know. And, really, it doesn't matter where it happened; the important thing is simply that it happened.

Here's Hoping Jamie Loses His Jobbie


JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM)’s board will consider releasing an internal report this week that faults Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon’s oversight of a division that lost more than $6.2 billion on botched trades, said two people with direct knowledge of the matter.

The final report, which builds on a preliminary analysis released in July, is critical of senior managers including Dimon, 56, former Chief Financial Officer Doug Braunstein, 51, and ex-Chief Investment Officer Ina Drew, 56, for inadequately supervising traders in a U.K. unit that amassed an illiquid position in credit derivatives last year, the people said.
