Precious metals have been stinking up the joint since the year 2011. That’s pretty pathetic when you consider how every other asset, from kitty litter to Dogecoin, has thrived in that same timespan. As I was looking at the junior miners (VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:GDXJ)) I thought, hey, maybe that’s primed for a hearty bounce, considering where it is at relatively to its trendline.

GDXJ:

But, ya know, I went through my entire miners watch list, and there is nothin’ I’d want. Yeah, GDXJ might bounce higher for a few days, but as I look at the dreadful condition of silver:

iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:SLV):

It all just seems too busted to me. I’m not touching any of it.

There’s nothing I’d want to go long now. It’s a bit of a drab trading environment at the moment, but I think it’s only going to be a matter of days, or a week at the very most, before things get exhilarating once more.

$ INDEX is VERY strong and further. 75% Intrest Rate increase will definitely take $ on New Height of 109 easily. Which will bring Gold down to 1680.
