Hi there. Kids in Quiboloy's sect's care up for relocation


Some 32 children who are in shelters funded by televangelist Apollo Quiboloy's Kingdom of Jesus Christ are up for adoption and family reintegration, following the non-renewal of the licenses of all five shelters run by the controversial sect.


More of the same? The Marcos administration has unveiled its 12-member senatorial ticket for the 2025 midterm elections — a motley mix of his former rivals, returning or reelectionist lawmakers, House members, a Cabinet official, and a city mayor.


Good news on the public health front: State-run PhilHealth said it is junking its much-assailed "single period of confinement" rule, a major reason why some 26,750 claims filed by hospitalized patients were denied in 2023 alone. 


Russia has established a weapons program in China to produce long-range attack drones for use in the war against Ukraine — a development that a NATO spokesperson warned is "deeply concerning and Allies are consulting on this matter."


"When Harry met karma," goes the title of today's editorial, which notes the cautionary travails of ex-Duterte mouthpiece Harry Roque, "who has elicited little sympathy from a public who recalls his pompous display of pelf and power under the previous administration."

If the Birkin bag were a fragrance, it would smell something like this


Hermès just introduced its new women's fragrance, and the French luxury house named it after one of its heritage calf leathers used in its prized handbags—smooth and soft to the touch, but ages gracefully, and so sturdy it's also used for saddles. A fitting metaphor for the free-spirited woman it's created for.

Gold in them hills

And lots of silver, too
 
   
     
   
 
SEPTEMBER 26, 2024
   

Hey Y’all,

Are you paying attention to gold right now?? 

It’s been on an absolute skyrocket higher, moving so fast it’s hard to keep up… 

 
 

It’s up almost $300/ounce since about August 8th, which is an incredibly fast move higher for a precious metal.

(To be fair, as I’m writing this, it’s moving lower this morning — but the growth over the last few weeks has been incredible and a bit of a correction was probably due) 

Silver is in the same boat, making huge moves since the start of last month: 

 
 

It’s an interesting economic indicator. Typically, we see precious metals go higher as hedges against the dollar and a crashing stock market.

In this case, the rate cuts might be a concern for some folks who aren’t as confident in the strength of the dollar as Jerome Powell seems to be. It could also be folks positioning themselves before the election to have a stake in something tangible should things not go the way they hope.

I’m sure both Trump and Harris voters can talk themselves into a doomsday “I need to gobble up gold” scenario.

We’re seeing gold sold in new ways, too. Costco made headlines by selling huge amounts of the stuff in their stores.

 
 

They’ve since added silver coins, too.

With everything going on in the precious metals market, I thought it was important to highlight something I’ve been thinking about over the past few days.

The gold market has changed…

The character Ron Swanson in Parks and Recreation once said: “One thing I promised myself, when I buried gold in my backyard, was that I’d never be a hoarder or a miser about it.” 

And that’s kind of the “old school” attitude about gold.

Store it up for a rainy day. Don’t touch it. Don’t look at it. Just horde gold and add to your horde over time as needed.

But that’s not the way gold is anymore.

Gold is a tradable asset, with short-term, fast-moving opportunities abounding.

Our traders have been all over it all year long.

Everyone’s heard of Geof Smith’s Perfect Gold Trade by now. Since he kicked that off in March, he’s 9-3 on published trade alerts and has pulled in some winners like 61%, 102%, and even 110% in trades that usually last a few weeks or less.

And Nate has been pretty consistent on gold too. Here he is calling a move up to $2,700 a few weeks ago (we didn’t quite hit it, but we got a lot closer than his Pirates did to the playoffs 😬)

 
 

My point is, if you’re still stuck in a “buy and hold” mindset about Gold, you should change your thinking.

There’s a ton of opportunity out there right now, especially if you listen to our experts here at ProsperityPub.

To your Prosperity,

Stephen Ground 

P.S.: As a matter of fact, Geof Smith shared an update on his Perfect Gold Trade and how you can join the next one this week! Tap here to hear from the man himself!
