Gold price fell rather sharply yesterday.

Some said it was because Trump's Federal Reserve Chair pick soothed the market. Kevin Warsh will preserve the Fed's independence.

I don't believe Warsh will defend the Fed at all. Haven't people seen how Americans bend their knees the moment Trump says some threatening words to them? They only find their #backbone if they are planning to retire or not running for reelection.

The extraordinary run-up in gold prices has brought unexpected windfalls to millions of Vietnamese, but it has also made traditional wedding gifts unaffordable and all but ended the informal gold mortgage system. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/01/30/markets/vietnam-soaring-gold-crushing-weight/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #markets #vietnam #gold #debt #banks

Investors piled fresh bets on gold and European defense stocks amid Donald Trump’s threats on Greenland, but while gains in both are expected to continue, investors face the dilemma of positioning for long-term fallout. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/01/13/markets/trump-greenland-gold-defense/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #markets #markets #stocks #greenland #us #donaldtrump #gold

A painting that I think went better than I expected.

I think gold won’t help or heal what ails us, but it would be useful if billionaire money was redistributed to help the poor.

This series vacillates between fool’s gold & true gold. Gold that repairs, versus gold used to destroy.

I think of true gold as wisdom, discernment, integrity, understanding, compassion, etc.

Across parts of Venezuela, Indigenous communities have been drawn into gold mining as their traditional way of life has been disturbed and they lack other economic opportunities.

Armed groups and a push for extractives have turned the Imataca Forest Reserve in the state of Bolivar into a mining hotspot, sources tell Mongabay, boosting deforestation and river pollution and destroying the livelihoods of Indigenous Pemón families.
