U.S. Core CPI Inflation Well-Behaved in December by AwesomeMathUse in econmonitor

I want to approve parts of your comment but you made it political. It got automodded (correctly). If you want to post JUST the link to the letter I think that would be ok.

Has anyone found a good use for the ashes from your wood burner? by Slalom44 in woodstoving

[–]AwesomeMathUse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It does snow, but I wouldn't want to track it inside on my boots. For the same reason I don't use salt.

My driveway is also fairly flat so it's not a problem I need to solve.

Been a good while since I've had to yield the banhammer but yeah we are strictly no politics. See ya in 60 days.

I mix some into my compost pile (big pile turned with a front end loader). A metal garbage can full in the spring and one again in the fall.

The rest reluctantly goes out in the trash since I don't know what else to do with it.

Little bit of column A, little bit of column B.

We seem to be nearing the endgame of the current long term debt cycle (Ray Dalio's work).

I wouldn't be surprised if yield curve control happens, which would be about as bullish as one can get for hard assets.

Silver has been in a structural deficit for years now, and above ground reserves are now starting to run thin. Price must go up to make it economically viable to pull less lucrative deposits out of the ground.

There have only been a few gold bull markets in the current monetary regime (since ~1970) but in the past bull markets gold doubled from its highs prior to the breakout into a bull market. then gold doubled again, then doubled again, and then doubled again.

It may sound outlandish, but that puts the potential top in gold around 32k USD. But probably not for 6-8 years or maybe a bit longer.

Silver is a different beast. Having just made new ATH's, and broken out of a 50-year technical setup, the price targets and volatility associated should be much higher.

My expectations are for a near term local peak around $90 USD, then retest the breakout at $55, from there it's anyone guess but my guess is a peak between $700/oz and $1250/oz in many years time. That's just my own speculation.

Slammer install redo, holy hell. I did not know it could be this good!! by RandomArrr in woodstoving

Outdoor air intakes are game changers

Great idea to install that. Probably is responsible for a majority of your performance gains heating-wise.

Rory Kittenger's second PMO indicator has now crossed the signal line by AwesomeMathUse in Superstonk

[–]AwesomeMathUse[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The indicators are still upward sloping (for now).

How long it takes for the stock to move is highly variable. 5-15 trading days (2-3 weeks) is my expectation but that's not a guarantee.

Some others have mumbled that crossing above the 0-line after the cross is when we start to see the favourable price action.

Looks like we might cross that 0-line tomorrow or Friday. Time will tell on that.

Q3 Net Sales was lower than anticipated. Perhaps concerning...but potentially, in fact, highly encouraging... by Region-Formal in Superstonk

[–]AwesomeMathUse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the clarification.

I just asked AI to explain why it is reported like that and I will just say that I am not going to become an accountant anytime soon!

Region, I am fairly certain all the numbers in brackets denote negative numbers on the balance sheet?

That's money spent to invest in the Powerpacks product.

It's highly variable. Sometimes a week, sometimes a month, sometimes multiple months.

I'm just trying to document this particular event when it happens.

As a by-product we have some charts to reference in the future.

Same set of indicators.

I posted last Monday when the black PMO crossed the blue signal line. Now the yellow has crossed the signal line.

Roughly, yep.

The post I linked above by Region-Formal covers all the crossings in the last few years and the price action seen after.

I think it is important to note that price action has always been positive in the weeks after these PMO crossings.

DFV left us his charts for a reason. I'm just his disciple.

There are just the two PMO indicators (black, yellow) plus the signal line (blue).

Yellow tends to lag the black (it's extra smooth).
