China Bounce

Gonna try to keep this apolitical. Lets just say if we have an incident involving Pelosi and Taiwan I think it will cause a short term spike in spot prices. I also believe just like with Ukraine it will be very short lived. Any thoughts?

I don't follow the 'news' much but yes I'd agree, there would be a bounce.

Predictive analytics (I don't share this elsewhere, and they are not 100% of course) say that the CCP will be overthrown in the next year or two btw. You heard it here first!

Will be yesterdays news by tomorrow

Declining world super power and emerging world super power both flexing muscles but no intention of fighting

OK I've looked a bit more into the predictive analytics I have available to me.

Please ignore/don't shoot the messenger.

Take this with a huge pinch of salt (I am at present) but they show me a series of dominoes falling, very rapidly, starting probably around September. If this does occur then I will rely more on my source:

1) The CCP will be overthrown by the end of the year, so China will be a full Nationalist state (unlike the wimps they have been)

2) Biden will be removed. More than that - the Republicans will take America and it will become both very conservative, and isolationist. This will lead to much good for the US as the hundreds of billions it sends abroad are instead invested internally. But it'll be a very strict nation. Many good things will come out of it but some freedoms will be lost.

Your predictions that, by the end of the year:
1. The CCP will be overthrown
2. Biden will have been removed (I am assuming you mean for reasons other than his health) and the US will become an isolationist ultra Republican state.

I started my post by saying explicitly ignore me and don't shoot the messenger. I then went further on to explain if these came true then I would have more faith in the predictive analytic data that I am receiving (which, if it happens, will be of benefit to us all). I don't think I could have been clearer???

We will see.

I am not a gambling man. If I was then please tell me how I could have predicted in advance that Usain Bolt would both win 8 AND 9 Olympic Golds (but, exclusively). It's impossible. And please tell me where I could have made such a bet. The odds would have been astronomical, a £1 bet would have made me a millionaire.

Usain Bolt won his 3 x 3 Gold Medals at 2016 Rio. That is the 3x3 I predicted, and was hailed at the time. However a year or so later one of his relay teammates was retrospectively eliminated for doping, and that medal was taken off him.

So, if you can tell me how I knew this in advance I am happy to make a bet with you The predictive analytics I have at the moment are a scientific analysis rather than my own intuition/'fore-knowing' and don't come from me. But my sense is that they are pretty valid to some extent.

I do expect a series of events in the autumn that will rock the world since nothing we've seen since the collapse of the Soviets in the late 80s/early 90s etc.

Dominoes - I do believe they will start falling this autumn.

Okay pet, so you don't wanna bet.
And I haven't the faintest idea how, or whether, you predicted Usain Bolt's success since I didn't know you in 2016. I imagine any bookie would have taken the bet though.

I do agree Biden is likely to be removed.
His health iis not the best currently but a bad performance in Novembers mid term elections by the democrats will see them use his health as an excuse for removing him as president, not his various failings or the blatant corruption that his sons laptop emails have shown.

Another corrupt politician, who would ever have expected such a thing!

I don't believe bookies can take any 'impossible' bets, and it's illegal. But you're the gambler, you tell me.

I can prove exactly via email (all timestamped etc) I predicted Usain Bolt in advance (I'm not prepared to share private emails in public).

I never offered it as a certainty (far from it - and hopefully quite the opposite) but I'll bet if you want. If it comes to pass it'll be a hollow 'victory' for me just as Covid was, because it means 'not good things' are coming.

I am not a 'pet' - don't patronize me like that please, thank you.

Sorry you didn't like the rhyme.

I don't find it funny to joke about such serious stuff. To try to be 'jokey' when people are putting a lot of thought into things is at best very rude imvho.

Ok do I need to jump in or am I ok to move this thread on?

I know we all have different views for politics and others..... but remember to respect others opinions and views. I can honestly say that I have not agreed with a lot on this thread. However RESPECT is important. It is not a power trip, but if I need to step in to have order I will. 

Now play nice.

Did I start a Kerfuffle?

I dont have enough knowledge about China to make a judgement so I will pass on that one.

I predict IF we have the so-called "red Tsunami" Biden will be article 25ed in short order. He may be 25ed anyway.

Soon enough the American speaker will go home, China will stop its military exercises around Taiwan and it will be yesterdays news.

Both sides have far more to lose than to gain at this moment.

Absolutely not, The subject had gong off the original topic and personal opinions or views started to become out of control.

Apologies  @Mike Xonox for derailing your thread, it is not your 'fault' at all

I have quite a few predictions at my fingertips now. Big things are coming which will change the world as we know it imvho.

Just see. From October onwards (a chain of events that will continue into 2024 and beyond)...

I don't want to rock the boat, be accused of being 'political' etc, so I won't say any more.

Good wishes and much love to all!!! <3

Hi kimchi,
Feel free to share your predictions.

It doesn’t really matter if your right or wrong, it’s interesting to here how people think the UK and the wider world will change going forward.

I do think the potential for civil unrest over energy bills could be an ignition for major civil unrest.
What concerns me is the current 2 prime minister candidates don’t seem to apprentice how big the cost of living crisis is and don’t have any tangible ideas for how they will deal with it.
Hoping it goes away is as awful as the Bank of England telling the world inflation is not a risk or the USA president saying inflation is just transitory.

@Mike Xonox it looks like you were correct as the spot prices for gold and silver have shot up. Could this be due to the China tensions or wider gloomy global economic outlook? Or both? It seems that big investors are suddenly hoovering up silver, and people are predicting a crash of global economies soon. I am struggling with who to believe but it does seem that precious metals may be a safer wealth storage option than currency and shares.

Now more than ever Bitcoin and crypto play a role in the gold and silver price.

Before gold and silver didn’t have a rival in terms of storing your wealth but I do think the emergence of Bitcoin and others has dampened the gold and silver prices although not as significantly as other factors.
