Gold catches a bounce. Is it the start of something bigger, or is the yellow metal rangebound now?

If you can wire $5,000 today, you will be entitled to 35% of the trust. Please reply at your earliest convenience.

Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

Interesting that NY gov Kathy Hochul felt compelled to put out a statement against Dems' deal to end the shutdown

Great job, @schumer.senate.gov. You've changed the story from "GOP hurting millions of Americans to please unpopular, failing, delusional despot who's destroying his party" to "Dems are too weak and divided in the face of Trump's strength to take a stand and protect Americans"

FEDWATCH: “.. Considering the MBS trade is around one to one and a quarter percentage points above Treasuries, the 50-year mortgage may be around 6 percent. This is a mere 28 basis points lower than the current 30-year fixed mortgage, raising questions about affordability. (!)” 🤡

Musk does not get 1/1000th of the grief he should over this absurd claim about 20 million dead people getting Social Security. Social Security is run far better than Tesla and provides a way more valuable service.
Imagine shareholders willing to give a trillion dollars to a guy who says there are 20 million dead people getting Social Security, but is too incompetent to find any of them.
With Tesla stock at a price-to-earnings ratio of almost 300 it doesn't look like anyone is buying what Elon Musk is selling, other than Tesla shareholders finance.yahoo.com/quote/TSLA/
