The Case for a Platinum-Plated Metals Portfolio / Commodities / Platinum
By: MoneyMetals
Do precious metals still represent good value?
With gold just coming off a new all-time high above $2,000/oz and silver having more than doubled off its March bottom, some investors may be wary of entering these markets right now.
However, when adjusted for inflation, when measured against the stock market, or when compared to total money supply, a strong case can be made that gold is not yet overvalued – and that silver remains undervalued.
Investors who are seeking an even more deeply undervalued opportunity within the metals space should take a look at platinum.

The Tragedy of More Missed COVID-19 Opportunities / Politics / Coronavirus Depression
By: Dan_Steinbock
According to a new report, US states are the most virus-affected relative to major economies. As COVID-19 has proceeded in two phases, containment failures in the West continue to fuel the pandemic and economic damage.
In April, my first COVID-19 report focused on the progression of the pandemic from China to Western Europe and the United States, and the belated mobilization and containment failure in Washington and Brussels.
My new report The Tragedy of More Missed Opportunities , which is also released by Shanghai Institutes for International Studies [with Chinese introduction], focuses on the new missedCOVID-19 opportunities and the consequent human costs and economic damage in the largest world economies, particularly in emerging and developing countries.

Silver Price Rockets to Multi-Year Highs, Targets $169 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: Jason_Hamlin
After nearly 7 years of consolidation and mostly sideways trading, the silver price is finally experiencing a powerful breakout. It did not take long after breaking above the psychologically-important $20 level for silver to climb another nearly 50% toward $30 per ounce.
The silver price has since corrected by 11% to the current price of $26.40, but remains up more than 45% in three weeks. Remarkably, silver is now up more than 125% from the March lows and we see significantly more upside ahead.

If Biden Wins, Solar Stocks Could Go Ballistic / Companies / Solar Energy
By: John_Mauldin
By Justin Spittler : “We're not just going to tinker around the edges. We're going to make historic investments that will seize this moment in history.”
Presidential front-runner Joe Biden said this last month. He was talking about his blockbuster green energy spending plan. As you may have heard, Biden plans to spend $2 trillion on clean energy and infrastructure over four years if he becomes president.
That’s a staggering amount of money. The Trump administration currently allocates less than $100 billion per year to clean energy technology. So, we’re talking about a 20-fold surge in spending!
Biden also plans to end carbon emissions from power plants by 2035. It’s an ambitious goal. One that would require millions of solar panels, and tens of thousands of wind turbines.

By: Arkadiusz_Sieron
The disruptions caused by the pandemic of Covid-19 forced people, companies, governments, and organizations to challenge their basis assumptions about their ways of life and conduct. Some of them might be trivial such as more frequent and thorough hand-washing, but others are much more important, amongst them putting more emphasis on health that came suddenly under threat and social relationships that were so missing during the quarantine. So, the key question is when the epidemic is fully contained, what will be the “new normal” – and how it will affect the gold market?Read full article... Read full article...

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?
During questioning by Senator Ron Johnson in 2013 about the false narrative of a Prophet Muhammed video spurring a spontaneous demonstration, presented by National Security Advisor Susan Rice and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, regarding the Benghazi attack that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans, Clinton angrily responded with her now famous quote.
“With all due respect, the fact is, we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or because of guys out for a walk one night who decide to kill some Americans, what difference at this point does it make?” – Hillary Clinton

Best Cheap Amazon Gaming Mouse - EasySMX PC Gaming Mouse with Lightweight Honeycomb Shell / Personal_Finance / Gaming
By: HGR
Bought this Easy SMX PC Gaming Mouse from amazon (current price £12) for my son as as the right click button in his existing (cheap) mouse died.
This mouse looks good, it looks like it's been 3d printed with a see through mesh design that is good for grip and has an overall fine ergonomic feel to it.
The mouse has FoUR buttons, which are very responsive which I suppose why its being sold as a gaming mouse.

Gold After US Dollar Dominance / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: Hubert_Moolman
Today, if gold had the same kind of performance as the Dow since around the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913, then it would have topped out at around $7 758 [(29568/78.78)*20.67]. Yet, it only has an all-time high of about $2 089.
In 1973 gold was in a similar type of position. The Dow had peaked at 1067.2 (in Jan 1973), which represented a X13.55 (1067.2/78.78) since 1913. If gold had scored a similar performance, it would have had a peak of about $280 (13.55*20.67), yet its peak at that time (the beginning of 1973) was only around $70.

From Trump’s TikTok Mess to Technology War against China / Politics / China US Conflict
By: Dan_Steinbock
As the US economy is expanding trade wars, which will derail global recovery, the Trump White House is targeting Chinese innovators thus fostering US national champions under the pretext of ‘national security.
In the early 2010s, an aspiring Chinese internet entrepreneur Zhang Yiming launched ByteDance, while developing a video sharing platform. After success in China, he began to internationalize TikTok.
To avoid conflict in national jurisdictions, Zhang had TikTok and its Chinese version Douying run on separate servers. TikTok's data collection is similar to that of major US social media and certainly less intrusive than Facebook’s.

Closing a limited company: How to close a company? / Companies / SME
By: Sumeet_Manhas
Many times a person can decide to shut down their limited company. This can, for many reasons, like the desire to retire or join full-time employment. You may also chance upon the opportunity to become the sole trader. No matter the reasons, you need to make sure that you are not keeping any loose ends. If you miss any of the legalities, it can be problematic.
All outstanding payments and bills need to be cleared, money that your clients still owes to you should be collected, etc. All these things may sound straightforward, but that is not the case. It can get quite complicated, and a professional who has been helping limited companies close must be consulted.

Stock Market Waiting For Acceleration Phase / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2020
By: Ricky_Wen
Wednesday played out as a gap-up and grind-up type of session, as the bull train remains in full control.
Wednesday closed at 3369 in the ES, near the highs of the session and also at a new closing print high for the week. The entire day’s range was 3382.5-3326.50, including overnight hours. Wednesday was also a full retracement of Tuesday's losses, indicating that the quick backtest into daily 8EMA was stick-saved by the ongoing bulls.
