Help me out here Greg or someone please. Isnt it risky having money at the brokerage and stocks?I say that cuz when the lockup occurs we lose everything there?Seems like musical chairs .When the music stops which no one knows when you lose.Now if you have hard assets you supposely still got money?And when will one be able to use the silver or gold?Will they lock us out of that too? All they do is lie, make up whatever serves them and screw everyone who aint with them.It's so far out. It's probably one reason most people follow Trump. They tell me Trump doesnt realize how deadly the shot is or can be.

🦅 Birdie Technical Analysis — Wednesday 4/23/25

From sky-high scans to ground-level trades. Here’s the daily flight plan. ✈️📊

🧠 SPY (S&P 500 ETF)

📉 Status: Bearish Bias Continues

📊 Price Action: Failed bounce. Broke below 9 & 18 SMA. Lower highs/lows persist.

💣 Volume: Elevated on red candles = heavy institutional selling pressure.

📉 MACD: Bearish, still below zero but tentatively curling.

📉 RSI: Weak ~40. No bullish divergence = no sign of liftoff yet.

🎯 Call: Bearish – This bird is still grounded. No reversal signals.

🔭 Outlook:

Support 🛬 near 500

Resistance 🛫 near 530

💼 Trade Setup:

🛑 Short / Buy Put

🎯 Entry Trigger: Breakdown below 505 with volume

🎯 Target Zone: 495–500

❌ Stop: Close above 515

🛢️ USO (United States Oil Fund)

⚖️ Status: Short-term recovery... still fragile

📊 Price Action: Bounce off lows, but stalled at 70

📈 MACD: Starting to curl up, momentum building slowly

🤔 RSI: Flat near 50 = indecision

🔔 Bollinger Bands: Tight = breakout brewing

🎯 Call: Neutral → Slightly Bullish

Short-term hope, but still needs confirmation.

💼 Trade Setup:

🛫 Long / Call Option

🎯 Entry Trigger: Breakout above 72 on volume expansion

🎯 Target Zone: 75–76.50

❌ Stop: Drop below 69

🪙 GLD (Gold ETF)

🟢 Status: Strong Uptrend 🏆

📊 Price Action: Sitting near ATHs. Dominating all MAs.

📈 Volume: 🔥 Strong conviction from buyers

📈 MACD: Bullish momentum accelerating again

🚨 RSI: Elevated ~80. Overbought, but no divergence = 🚀 still has fuel

🎯 Call: Bullish, but extended.

Could flutter down to rest before the next leap.

💼 Trade Setup:

🛬 Buy the Dip

🎯 Entry Trigger: Pullback to 300–302, with signs of base

🎯 Target Zone: 318–320+

❌ Stop: Close below 298

₿ Bitcoin

💥 Status: Explosive rally, long-term structure intact

Call: Bullish 🟢 – Consolidating gains before next climb

Outlook: 61.8% retracement? Only if we see a full risk-off turn. Otherwise, next stop could be new highs.

💠 XRP

🌀 Status: Trapped in range, but coiling

Short-Term Call: Neutral to Bullish Bias

Long-Term Call: Bullish 🔮

Needs a break above resistance to awaken the beast.

🦅 Final Word from Birdie:

Risk remains elevated in SPY; GLD soaring, and USO is preparing for liftoff. BTC stays king, and XRP is nesting before a potential breakout.

💡 Trade smart. Stay light. Be like Birdie — fly above the noise. 🕊️💸

While most individuals who follow financial websites focus on the jugglers of numbers and statistics. Such are the business of ephemeral fashions and vogue styles of Modern Times but have no significance for the underlying real spirit of human freedom to free itself from the oligarchical mind.

In the current drama, it is great ideas connected to a passion for humanity to rise above the superficial and "monetary" to aspire to a Renaissance of the human spirit as Pope Francis reminded us in the immortal words before he passed. Words that epitomized the universal and unconditional love of Jesus Christ.

The US Treasury claims to hold nearly 261.5 million troy ounces of gold supposedly held as follows:

- Fort Knox: Holds 147.3 million ounces (about half of the Treasury's total gold)

- West Point Mint: Stores over 56 million ounces.

- Denver Mint: Stores over 43.8 million ounces.

- Federal Reserve Bank of New York: Holds about 13.3 million ounces - says these are primarily for foreign central banks and other owners so "held by the UST for others" (?) i.e. not available to by used by the UST/Government(?)

Book Value: The U.S. Mint still prices its gold holdings according to the official government “book value” of gold, which is $42.22 per fine troy ounce of gold as established in 1973. So book value = almost $11B (261M * $42). Market value = $783B.

Total US debt $36T.

$783B/$36T = 2% (!)

Physical dimensions: held in bars of 400 troy oz 7x3.5x1.75 (about 27 lbs each)

261M/400 = 653,750 bars weighing almost 9,000 tons (!)
