The Shit to Know Thursdays

Alright man look, 

I am dry on this week’s shit-isms.

But seriously some big stuff happened this week.

I really think you should read this.

Market Indices & Commodities

War
WW3 May be on The Horizon

I don't know how to validate this other than people just saying it but apparently the Sec of State Bliken will announce tomorrow that the USA will green-light Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with Western Missiles.

I can't even imagine how hard Putin will tweak if this is true. This weekend may be one to remember… Stay safe folks.

Space 
Astronauts go Far as Fuck

Astronauts from Elons SpaceX have just reached limits not reached since the Apollo Program 50 years ago.

Pretty cool. Not much context to this, but Elon just doing Elon shit, pushing the limits per usual.

Commodities
Uranium Stocks Are Back on The Menu

At this point, the Shit to Know is basically a Putin biography, fuckin impossible to keep a tab on this guy. He’s got the world on a string and he fuckin loves to yank it.

This time he’s thinking about restricting exports of critical commodities.

Putin said, "Strategic reserves are being created in some countries, and some other measures are being taken," adding, "In general, if this will not harm us, then we could think - I am not saying that we need to do this tomorrow - think about certain restrictions on deliveries to the foreign market, not only of the goods that I have named but also of some others."

Russia is a leader in strategic raw minerals and kinda has the West by the nuts when it comes to nickel, uranium, and palladium it goes on and on, but Putin doesn’t give a single fuck, he’s thinking about reducing or entirely cutting exports.

On this news, uranium stocks, such as CCJ, UEC, URA, and URNM, jumped between 5% and 7%.

A tight like asshole uranium supply theme rolling into 2025 could pressure prices even higher.

War
Israel Offers to End War

The Russia/Ukraine conflict has now taken the lead for odds of ending in WW3 as Isreal has offered to end their fuckin shabam.

Israel's top official who is overseeing the (so far) failed truce talks with Hamas has said Israel is ready to offer Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar safe passage if all the hostages are returned. Upon that condition, the war in Gaza war can come to an end, the senior official said.

This came directly from Israeli hostage envoy Gal Hirsch during an interview with Bloomberg published Tuesday.

"I’m ready to provide safe passage to Sinwar, his family, whoever wants to join him," Hirsch said.

"We want the hostages back. We want demilitarization, de-radicalization of course — a new system that will manage Gaza," the top Israeli negotiator added. In essence, he has stipulated that Hamas must agree to exit Gaza and relinquish power there.

What are we thinking folks? Is Yahya gonna do it? I think YahNot…

Crypto
Americans Got Rugged

Crytpo scams hit an all-time high in 2023 with a reported 6.5b USD lost to these fckn g4y ass schemes.

FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) received more than 69,000 complaints involving cryptocurrency fraud, representing a 45 percent increase in losses compared to the previous year, the Sept. 9 report said.

Younger generations were hit less hard, with those under 20 losing $14.7 million, followed by those in their 20s losing $168.5 million, those in their 30s losing $693.7 million, those in their 40s losing $843.8 million, and those in their 50s losing $901 million.

Some states were hit harder by scams than others. The top five states for cryptocurrency fraud losses were California ($1.15 billion), Texas ($411.9 million), Florida ($390.2 million), New York ($317.3 million), and New Jersey ($179.4 million).

The five least impacted were Vermont ($4.8 million), Maine ($5.9 million), North Dakota ($6.5 million), Wyoming ($7.3 million), and the District of Columbia ($8.3 million).

Seems like the boomers got gaped the hardest and the young degens at least had a bit of sniffer on them. Congrats if you made it through and are not a total retr4rd. For the rest of you, I feel absolutely no remorse, I hope you learned something valuable.

Commodities
GOLD ATH

Gold prices rose more than 1% to hit a record high Today, bolstered by expectations of an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve next week after U.S. data signaled a slowing of the economy.

Spot gold was up 1.7% at $2,554.05 per ounce & U.S. gold futures settled 1.5% higher at $2,580.60.

This isn't major news because you guys should know that Gold is Based and Red Pilled. OUR VHLA Analyst predicts we will see $2,700 shortly (it's me I'm sub 70 iq).

But continue to get scammed by crypto schemes, while the boys and I take second mortgages and bet on Gold stocks. You crypto nerds will be nice exit liquidity at the peak of the run.

That’s all Folks

Just one more fucking day, I can smell it…
