YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS UP:

US job (non-farm payroll) numbers were overstated in Q3 and Q4 2023 by nearly 1,000,000!

In fact, the US economy LOST 192K jobs in Q3 2023 and created 344K jobs in Q4 2023 instead of +494K and +637K initially reported.

Insane👇

The commercial banks had to naked short #silver another 43 million paper ounces to prevent spot going over $32 an ounce. How much do they lose every dollar it goes up? That derivative position will kill these criminals. #silversqueeze

THIS HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE:

3-month correlation between S&P 500 returns and the number of S&P 500 stocks advancing dropped to the LOWEST on record.

It means that the number of stocks driving gains is the smallest EVER.

Notably, 40% of S&P 500 stocks are down year-to-date.
