Silver miners like Hecla (HL) are pulling back today, but just to test the 20-day moving average as support. The stock is still in the upper half of the Bollinger Band, my favorite momentum indicator, The Force Index, is green, and ADX shows the trend strengthening. Buy pullbacks!

maybe if we are going to overtly subsidize fixed capital formation under competition—rather than let market power and the promise of difficult-to-limit rents encourage investment—well, we should! but maybe we should pick a an industry to develop that isn’t already obsolete and slowly killing us.
They have to subsidize because otherwise the oil companies have no interest in investing in flooding the world with oil and lowering their profits.

Someone in the White House has been watching too much Star Wars. Cartel de los Soles translates as Cartel of the Suns. In Star Wars, the two rival cartels are Black Sun and Crimson Dawn.

So embarrassing — the Trump DOJ’s Maduro indictment accuses him of leading the “Cartel De Los Soles”, which as we previously mentioned is not a real thing…
…so they just changed it. 🤦🏼 🎪
