It was a ‘risk on’ day all the way, with the shorts being properly squeezed in stocks.
And with a risk on day, and ahead of non-farm payrolls, gold took a hit, while silver remained largely unchanged.
We will be enjoying a harvest moon tonight.
It is an uncommon gift, even in our modern alienation from nature. For we have for the most part lost our relationships with all that does not bend easily to our will, and provide an opportunity for a quick profit.
Perhaps alienation, a notion so last century as to seem almost quaint now, is not the right term to use for our post-modern world. We are not aware enough to feel alienated; we are insensate, and our existence is a series of meaningless, impersonal transactions, ruled by Mammon.
Or perhaps we can skip thinking and feeling anything,and sell each other ‘moon glasses.’
Have a pleasant evening.
