Bitcoin went down about a thousand bucks but was trading in that 77,000 range. So, it's up almost $10,000 from its low. We're still bullish on it. Gold was down some 47 bucks today and we're going to say why. And silver was down Gold is 4,691. Still high. Again, Russia, Mexico, uh Turkey, one country after another selling gold to cover their debt level and the danger that this war has caused around the globe. Their currencies are going down, their debts going up. They got to sell. China's buying more. We're still very positive on it. Silver was down $2.26, 75.31. This is an article in the Wall Street Journal today. Talks stall but investors can't stop buying. Yeah. Ceasefire extended. No ceasefire. You ready?

We kept saying if the United States and or Iran attacks, the United Excuse me, the United States and or Israel attacks Iran, you're going to see Brent crude spike to well above $100 a barrel, probably 130. It's going to crash the global economy and the global equity markets.
