Joking aside, I read up to about No.6 and decided to keep investing. Blood on the streets and all that.

Recently I was deleting some old photos from my phone to free up space and I found this from 2018.
Its a screenshot from Hattons website 25/6/2018.
I’ll leave this here to show how far gold has gone since then.
Anyone want a ‘best value sovereign’ for £233.07?’ 😬
 

C**ts of a feather. Nonce together 

He also quashed the investigations into Saville when he was QC

Don't forget his links to the trilateral commission, he's a multiple bilderberg attendee and had connections to Jeffrey 'I really honestly did commit suicide ' Epstein 

Sir Queer Starmer might not know what a woman is but he does know how to sell out the UK to Brussels. The top priority for Sir Queer is to get the UK back into the EU, who will welcome us back with open arms. It's exceedingly difficult for that to happen as the UK has signed mutually exclusive trade deals with other nations, but it's not impossible. Markets would react very favourably to the UK re-joining the EU and if that were to happen, the GBP-USD rate could revert to what it was before Brexit (1.4+). There's also a narrative that if Trump gets into power and the Fed aggressively cuts rates, that the USD will drop faster than GBP even with a Labour government
All sounds like a good excuse to buy more precious metals regardless of how it shakes out

Well who knows, historic things happened last time Trump was involved. The Fed and wider Fed banking system heavily favour the Democrats, with the possible exception of Powell himself. Last time Trump ran for POTUS and lost to Biden, the big tech and finance CEOs openly boasted about manipulating the election in favour of Biden - they de-platformed Trump and ran a propaganda campaign for the Democrats. It was the first time in the history of the United States that a VP (Kamala "The Cackling One" Harris) hadn't given a press conference prior to the election. Biden did very little public speaking too. Hmm, I wonder why? 
When Trump succeeded Obama it was after the longest period of dovish Fed policy in living memory. When Trump got into the Oval Office the Fed immediately reversed course and went hawkish. Another historical precedent was set when Trump called out the Fed on TV over their abrupt U-turn. This pressured the Fed into going back to money printing mode
I'll be surprised if the Fed doesn't cut rates at least twice before the election (quarter points) and it might be later than June. Powell and the Fed have tied their hands so if inflation is still above 2% and the labour market is tight, they can't cut in June without destroying their credibility (which they imagine is still in tact). Powell doesn't want to cut so he will resign first. 
The Fed will do everything they feasibly can to stop Trump getting into the Oval Office. There's no point in them trying to hide their bias after what they did last time and their subsequent actions under the Biden Administration. Everybody knows the state apparatus in the USA is targeting Trump for political reasons, highlighted by the fact Joe Biden hasn't been arrested yet and we don't hear about Hunter, Russia and China 24/7 the way we hear about Trump's court cases
Opinionated I know but I think it's corrupt as it gets. They don't want Trump because Trump will be anti-globalist and anti-war, hurting the prospects of America's richest CEOs who rely on China and overseas manufacturing for their operating margins (all of the FAANG+). There's the military-industrial complex who plainly want a perpetual war with Russia. There are hawks (neo-cons) who want to start a new war with Iran and who are itching to get involved with China. Trump's first move as POTUS will be to end the Russo-Ukraine war and he won't start any new wars. That is the opposite of Obama - the only person in history to win a Nobel Peace Prize and drop a bomb on another Nobel Peace Prize winner (Doctors Without Borders in 2009). It's the opposite of Biden too, under whose Administration the Ukraine war was provoked and allowed to develop, with overtures of peace declined (Boris Johnson acting on behalf of the MIC)
The big picture is about American billionaires making more billions and the American war machine making more wars. Trump is the enemy of both and there's no limit to what they will do to stop him. As Tucker Carlson asked Trump directly to his face, "Aren't you worried they will assassinate you?". Trump should be worried IMHO

Middle of a long month for many so funds maybe just aren’t there. Sometime better to hold then let go cheap unless you have your eyes on something with time limited availability 

it wont ☹️

I bought a couple of sovereigns mid week last week and then the following day the gold price dipped. I'm most likely going to grab a 1oz gold coin over the weekend and AGAIN most likely will witness another drop on monday. So if you want me to advise you - you can either wait it out or roll the dice and go for it. Judging from my own personal experience after every purchase: it will go down. lol
