@jwkprod_@2021Ufo@DavidBCollum I'm focusing on human needs versus wants. We don't need data centers to survive. We do need energy, food and finished consumer goods.
@jwkprod_@2021Ufo@DavidBCollum I see US import constraints after this next downturn. Don't expect countries to be as agreeable with selling raw and finished goods for USD
@WOWSTrade What is worse is that the US government likely knew that the Pearl Harbor attack was imminent and did nothing.
Ironically, Japan was facing US sanctions, which were effecting their ability to feed their people at the time.
History time: Recently many have been comparing the recent parabolic move in the Semiconductor industry $SMH as reminiscent of the ending price moves into the March 2000 top. It should be noted there was no semiconductor fundamental issue that caused that 2000 top.
In fact the first miss didn’t occur until September 2000 when Intel pre-announced an earnings miss.
Now we have Broadcom down 13% after hours on an inline earnings & revenue report with a slight forward revenue guidance miss.
Do whatever you want with this information.
$Sugar SB1!
Doesn't sugar deserve some love? Its one of the most unloved commodities, but has one of the most bullish patterns. Look at the rising weekly RSI pattern.
A break of $27 may send it to $65...
$SILVER
I never thought that $100/ounce silver would be hit this quickly, but its well in line with the chart below. A break of $140, and $500/ounce silver is possible.

The most systematic and shocking recruitment method was the stille chuppah a quick, religious-only Jewish wedding ceremony performed without civil registration. Procurers (often well-dressed men speaking Yiddish) would travel back to Poland, Russia, or Romania. They posed as successful merchants or pious suitors, dazzled desperate parents with cash advances and promises of a golden life in the “Promised Land” of Argentina, and contracted these secret marriages. The “bride” would receive a ticket, a small dowry, and instructions to meet her new husband in Buenos Aires. Upon arrival or sometimes on the ship she would discover the true purpose. Many were drugged with sweets, flowers, or perfumes laced with sedatives; others were simply raped and “broken in” at sea or in holding houses. Once in Buenos Aires they were sold like livestock graded as “silver spoons” (high value) or “sacks of potatoes” (low value) and confined in brothels. Their earnings went straight to the pimp or madam; escape attempts were met with beatings, death threats, or forced return via the society’s internal enforcement. Some women arrived already pregnant or with children, only to be coerced back into the trade. Yarfitz’s research explicitly details that the network targeted girls and young women frequently inexperienced teenagers and those in their early teens to early twenties (described as “girls,” “virgins,” or “young” in contemporary records and League of Nations reports on traffic in women and children). Minors (under 21 or 22 under Argentine law) were of special concern because regulated brothels had age restrictions, but the stille chuppah and forged documents allowed pimps to bypass inspections and bring in underage victims who were particularly prized for their youth and inexperience.
The 1895 Buenos Aires census revealed the scale in stark numbers: in a single block of the Once red-light district there were 131 registered brothels containing 147 Jewish prostitutes far higher concentrations than in any other neighborhood. Police records from 1893–1894 listed 164 suspects, 157 of them Ashkenazi Jews, with mug shots and physical descriptions. By the 1920s the network had formalized into the Varsovia/Zwi Migdal structure, complete with its own statutes, membership rolls using aliases, and political influence bought with cash and jewels.
Individual stories illustrate the horror. One of the most famous is Raquel Liberman, a Polish-Jewish widow who arrived in Buenos Aires, lost her husband, and turned to prostitution to feed her two young sons. She saved enough money to open a second-hand shop, but members of the Zwi Migdal (including procurer José Saloman Korn, who posed as her husband in a stille chuppah) threatened her, beat her, and forced her back into the brothels. In 1929–1930 she denounced the entire society to police commissioner Julio L. Alsogaray. Her testimony triggered massive raids: over 100 members arrested, brothels shut down, and the organization legally dissolved in a highly publicized trial. Liberman’s case became the emblematic victim narrative used by both reformers and the Jewish community itself.
