HI YO, SILVER AWAY: I'm Stacked And Ready.

-
Image
  Not referring to Silver, the Lone Ranger's horse but 99.9 % .Silver bullion. I am not able to refresh my Silver Forecast Model due to unavailability of US economic data, as well as the fact that a forecast will not be useful until we see what the Fed does on 9-10 December. Also, I am on vacation in Japan till 10 Dec.  But Silver has broken all resistance levels and I think its useful if I extract from the 29 Nov email to customers by Indigo Precious Metals' Managing Director David J. Mitchell: "The CME Globex Futures & Options markets were abruptly halted during early Asian trading around 10 a.m. SGT, and, critically, remained offline for the entire day. This was not a routine technical glitch. The shutdown triggered global disruption across futures markets, following a severe outage at CME Group — the world’s largest derivatives exchange. And while I avoid conspiracy narratives, the full shutdown of all major Western trading exchanges precisely as silver encountered...

TOKYO : BEAR MEAT FOR DINNER ACCOMPANIED BY VIPER LIQUOR MIXED WITH VODKA.

-
Image
  Due to the increasingly frequent bear attacks on Hokkaido, there is a good supply of Bear meat as hunters are recruited to cull the Bears.. I came across this no-name one-man unusual restaurant in Shibuya Take a look at its food and drinks list below. I chose Bear because I don't feel so guilty about meat from culled Bears. How does Bear meat taste? A gamey smell and rather tough. But with some fat as the Bears are fattening up with Salmon in preparation for their Winter hibernation. MEAT Bear, boar, rabbit, peacock, raccoon, deer, snake, crow, badger, kangaroo, ostrich, crocodile, horse. LIQUOR Flying Squirrel, Horse Penis, Gecko,, Viper, Cockroach, Praying Mantis, Leech, Sparrow Bee.

Japanese Yen All-time Low vs Singapore Dollar=Cheap Guitars in Japan

-
Image
Japanese Yen at all-time low. Guitars are cheap at Ochanomizu. Bought this 2017 King Snake Curtis Deep Body for about S$1600 (qualify for tax exemption with Passport). The specs are rather different from other ES175 clones. The thin Nitrocellulose finish, P90 pick up windings, bracing, etc. You can read about the specs in the attached text image. In summary a fat edgy tone with good sustain but without the feedback from the 85mm deep body.
