Wow, Tyler, this is definitely worthy of charging people somehow.  I feel like I am taking advantage.  Great work!

I don't know if the gyrations are over after the jobs report, but who expected a V shaped response after a very good report?  Not me.  Please educate me.  These things always do differently than I expect!

Followed by the not so amusing day when everything is down...

I am not a strict adherent to any style of eating, and won't argue against what you've put out there; I'm just telling what worked for me.  I can certainly see that the refining of grains and vegetable oils could certainly have a larger impact  to American problems than the absolute # of carbs inges...

I have to jump in.  While whole wheat may be better than refined, and rice may be better because of no gluten, all these grains are carbs.  Ok, there's some fiber in there too. But it is, at this point, pretty well defined science that excessive carbs through the standard American diet, sugar, pasta...

I read that Vogue article and have been following this and the marriage/sex thread with interest.

Apparently, I have been living under a rock...

I am starting to gain some confidence in gold lately, it has roared back amazingly quickly from the last few days.  Very encouraging. On another note, my PP is up over 4.5% YTD, I can't tell you how many years it has been since I have seen that much green.  And it is only Feb.  I hope if the stock m...

She even surprised me with a ridiculously hot 19 year old for Valentine's Day :P. Wow.  As I was reading your post, I wasn't expecting that. I'll bet you weren't either. Nope. I came home to a note on the door "If you could have two of anything in the world, what would they be? [...]" I f...

"I wouldn't mind sex, and if it was already happening, I would enjoy it, but it wouldn't occur to me to initiate it." +1000 Yes, I see that PS has already explained that is called "responsive desire", which is very common in women. That's why men who complain about their wives n...

+1000

I don't even know what that means.  Doesn't sound like conservative values...   Did I accidentally end up on some porn forum?

Gold down almost 4% This is going to be ugly. What do you mean, Budd?  We are about 15% up from the start of the year to the peak close last week, and we've dropped about 3.5% back down.  I know it is disappointing to not see it go straight up 45 degrees to the right, but this was overdone short te...

A breather had to be expected.  Certainly if we can hold above 1200 when the US opens tomorrow, a decent sign.  If not, well, we've all seen the show many times before.

You say stocks:  go to cash, but were they not already in cash on Jan 15?  Your first post shows them at 0%? If that isn't the case, then this would bear out my biggest concern, you will get whipsawed out here at a short term bottom, market has some potential to rise next month, and buy back in high...

Buy some GLD puts to hedge your position if you feel the need to. It does feel out of control, "must be slammed down" but, wow what a rise the past few days.  PP did 4.04% for me in 2014, -3.26% in 2015 and right now 4.44% up for 2016.  I swear, part of me wants to say sell everything, and...

Damn powers that be must be manipulating gold to the upside now... bet we won't be hearing that statement from gold bloggers!

Glad to have gold as well!

All a load of crap.  Need to just change things to a simple election, majority wins.  No electoral college or these primary shenanigans.

Coincidentally, today: http://www.sciencealert.com/china-s-nuclear-fusion-machine-just-smashed-germany-s-hydrogen-plasma-record and last week: http://www.sciencealert.com/germany-s-massive-nuclear-fusion-machine-just-produced-its-first-hydrogen-plasma Just like self driving cars, I think we'll see a...

Nuclear in some form.  I believe we'll figure out fusion in our lifetimes.

Bush vs. Clinton?  Kill me now.

Hopefully in those 7B+ brains that we now have will be the intelligence to unlock fusion, travel to other planets, etc, etc.  We have the potential, and hopefully we can make something of it before we blow ourselves up or get wiped out by some epidemic or global catastrophe. If anyone has not run in...

Sorry, I was talking about October, when it was around $1190!  Even that was still 3.5 months.  It does fly.

Sure is an ugly chart, but hey, even this morning, I open up Kitco and every morning expect to see massive red in gold, and instead over $1150.  I don't call tops or bottoms, but we are currently seeing some strength and the more that happens the more gold will get noticed as a reasonable alternativ...

I am starting to sense a Howard Dean type event coming for the Donald.  His rhetoric has gotten a little off the rails the past couple days.
