Gold's been unstoppable in the overnight. Pretty sure some of this move will get pulled tomorrow, but it's still impressive.

I keep what I call my Wall Street IQ index. It measures how intelligent the average trader on Wall Street feels.
Since volatility goes into it it's reversed: the lower the number the higher the self-reported IQ of the boys on Wall and Broad.
For reference: average = 230, 2std range is 120 - 331.

Does Trump think the record price of gold is a good thing, I wonder? Would he even understand why it might be a real warning sign if any of the spineless jackasses in his economic team tried to explain it to him?

This kind of thinking enrages me. NOT EVERYTHING IS/CAN BE ANALYZED WHEN A SAMPLE IS COLLECTED.
Some of our important unanalyzed samples were *thrown away* bc someone cleaned out the wrong stuff when a prof retired. They're irreplaceable. That's science we can no longer do. 😠

Geologists, too! Not too long ago someone commented to me that there’s little value in rock sample and core libraries because everything important had surely been digitized. Relatively little has (and, even if it has, it’s hard to run a chemical or physical test on an image or PDF file).
When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

Pope Leo XIV just appointed Fr. Manuel de Jesús Rodríguez — an immigrant from the Dominican Republic who became a U.S. citizen in 2018 — as bishop of Palm Beach.
That’s right: the Catholic diocese that includes Trump’s Mar-a-Lago is now led by an immigrant priest who’s marched against ICE’s abuse.
