Congrats Babariley on your team winning the Stanley Cup. I was cheering for the Kings, only because they kicked out the Vancouver Canucks. They deserved to win.

44 years in the making. Finally came true. If the Leafs could do as well.

Number 8 seed winning the whole thing. Shows that it can be done through hard work. Some analogies to the mining sector here.

Thank you Mrsou027l for your pictures.

It's almost as good as visiting the area. You're right. There is a lot of gold coloured pigment visible. How much is real gold? Surely not the giant boulder?

It's like a mini travelogue to Myanmar. Looking forward to your remaining pictures.

Could Big Pic please present a his view of the market and future?

TIA,

Currently when I look at the Kitco site where it shows how much of the gain/loss on the prices of various commodities is due to +/- of the US$ or normal buying/selling I am seeing all the precious metals showing losing value due to the STRENGTENING OF THE US$. However when I look at the base metals I see that the column reads due to the WEAKENING OF THE US$.

What gives? Is the US$ going up or down? Surely it can't go in both directions at once?

All of the base and precious metals are priced in US$ and there is only one US$. So how can it go in both directions based on which commodity you are looking at?

Is Kitco trying to fool us again by blowing up some snow job explanation for what is going on?

You're right.

Silly me. I caught one typo and not the missing "1" in front.

I'll try to do better next time!!! :)

Pic... you're long past the 5 minute edit rule.

Surely you mean $437 instead of

"Gold was hit at $440 and fell to $430, but again there was no followthrough as gold is now back up near $337...up $3.50."?

Another typo? Forget it pal. ... we all know what you mean... although it could be confusing to the not so informed.
