| What Is Key for the Price Formation of Gold |
| Robert Blumen discusses some important but widely misunderstood elements acting on the gold price. He explains that frequently cited gold demand statistics have no relationship to the gold price. In addition, he explains that the annual gold mine production is of very little influence, as gold is hoarded, not consumed like other commodities.

 School Daze  |
| Sunday night was Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos’s turn through the CBS 60-Minutes wringer of censure with a visibly frustrated inquisitor Lesley Stahl trying to hector her into self-incrimination. The sad truth about American schools is that they’re a mirror for the painful collapse of the society they supposedly serve — a process ongoing for decades before Ms. DeVos came on the scene.

Believing The Impossible  |
| "Alice laughed: "There's no use trying," she said; "one can't believe impossible things."
"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was younger, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
~ Lewis Carroll, Through The Looking Glass
To borrow from Lewis Carroll: To have confidence in today's central bank-created bubble markets, we have to believe in six impossible things.

| From swords to jet engines
One of the world’s least known metals is also of great importance, and likely to become more so as renewable energies catch up with and possibly eclipse fossil fuels. Yet vanadium’s primary use as a steel alloy is set to keep prices buoyant and North American explorers racing to find a domestic source of the metal that was once used to make swords so strong and sharp the mere sight of them struck fear into the hearts of their enemies.

| Silver Stocks Comatose |
| The
silver miners’ stocks have mostly drifted sideways this year,
looking vexingly comatose. Such dull price action repels
speculators and investors, so they’ve largely abandoned this
lackluster sector. That weak trader participation has led to silver
stocks’ responsiveness to silver price moves decaying. What can
shock silver stocks out of their zombified stupor? And how soon is
such an awakening catalyst likely?

| New Apocalypse Warning: ‘The Earth Will Crack’ On Halloween Day This Year |
| A YouTube channel is claiming to have evidence that points to Halloween day as the “end of time.” Those who have claimed October 31 will be the apocalypse have also said that on that day, “the Earth will crack.”
The real apocalypse will begin on October 31 when the “Earth will crack” according to conspiracy theorists, says The Express UK. This year’s Halloween could be the scariest to date, and perhaps the last if doomsayers are to be believed. The YouTube channel End Time Prophecies claims thaFriday, October 20, 2017 |

| The US Dollar has had a wonderful run in its life time. Not too many fiat currencies have had the ability to sustain its usage for as long as this mighty experiment has and all who have reported on this instrument of trade are pretty much pointing to the same outcome that it can’t last much longer.

| Gold Investment Resuming |
| Gold
has surged dramatically to major breakouts since its usual
summer-doldrums lows. That’s naturally rekindled interest in this
leading alternative investment, despite the record-high stock
markets. Investors are starting to return to gold again to
prudently diversify their stock-heavy portfolios. That’s very
bullish for gold, as investment capital inflows can persist for
months or even years. This shift is most evident in GLD.

| Solar Flares Responsible For Impacting Hurricane Irma Warning Systems |
| Massive sunspots and enormous solar flares can be responsible for taking out radio communications systems. Some scientists are now saying that the solar storms which have resulted from these recent flares could have been impacting the warning systems that were to let people know about the intensity of Hurricane Irma.
According to Pocono Records, if you still have your solar viewing glasses from the eclipse, now is a good time to consider putting them on and taking a quick look up at the sun. YouMonday, September 11, 2017 |

| Harvey made landfall as a Category 4 Hurricane on August 25. The wind
and flooding caused massive destruction. The news mentioned one hundred
billion dollars as a preliminary estimate of the damage.
Eight days before on August 17 Harvey became a named storm. There was no apparent cause for alarm on August 17.
Two days later it was upgraded to a tropical depression. Harvey reached hurricane strength on August 24. Much can happen in eight days.

| Subprime auto delinquencies have staked up so much that we are back at 2007 milestone levels.
There’s a section of the auto-loan market — known in industry parlance as deep subprime — where delinquency rates have ticked up to levels last seen in 2007, according to data compiled by credit reporting bureau Equifax.
“Performance of recent deep subprime vintages is awful,” Equifax said in a slide show on second-quarter credit trends.

As noted by Karl Denninger at The Market Ticker, while the August 21st solar eclipse may be a once in a lifetime sight to see, the actual act of seeing it may cause serious damage to your eyesight:

| There’s no denying these are quite interesting times, in a Chinese curse sort of way. Only an asteroid on a collision course with Earth, or an ISIS nuclear detonation, could make the world seem any more interesting than it already is.
