Episode 121
Moon Age Daydream, Iran So Far Away, The Empire Strikes Back
Gold is going to the moooooooon. Fantastic news for gold bugs. Until someone works out that this is a short against America, and the Wall Street types celebrating are effectively blowing the kazoo for the end of their own industry.
After all, if gold remains on the moon, they’ll have to figure out whether they still need financial services consultants in space.
Meanwhile - it’s a day ending in Y so someone in the Pentagon must be plotting an attack on Iran.
It seems incredibly illogical and stupid. Which makes it all the more probable, by Pentagon standards.
Finally, China has raised tariffs on American goods to 125 %, restricted the supply of rare earth metals, stopped investment in US private equity, and cut off its natural gas terminals.
Tit has given way to tat - we’ll be weighing up who has cut off more of their nose to spite their face.
