Due to our semi-monthly Beer with TF happy hour, I was unable to bring you some fresh Jackass for your holiday weekend. We fix that issue today with an hour if full-on Jackass that is sure to please his most ardent supporters.

Of course, some of you are not big fans of these podcasts...

I know, I know. It's not Thursday. It's only Wednesday. But Jim and I finally had time to record a podcast today and why would I sit on the audio until tomorrow?

So, this is fun. We haven't caught up with our old pal, Jim Willie, since Easter weekend....about 100 days ago. Much has...

Because of "Coffee with TF" last Friday, we didn't record our usual holiday weekend Jackass. But don't dismay. The Jackass graciously pushed back a few days and he stopped by on Tuesday to record this very insightful podcast.

We tried to stay focused upon gold, silver and the eventual...

It's another three-day, U.S. market holiday weekend....so you know what that means.

No sense dillydallying. Jim and I recorded this within the past hour. Just two old farts shooting the bull over a Saturday morning coffee.

As per usual, if you like what The Jackass has to say...

It's another market holiday weekend...well, sort of. The U.S. markets are closed on Thursday for Thanksgiving and they reopen for an abbreviated session on Friday where the only entities trading the Comex PMs will be HFT algos and a few assorted Bank Monkeys who will be intent upon keeping...

It's a three-day U.S. Market holiday weekend and it's somewhat of a tradition around here to bring in Jim Willie. So, here you go.

I had a time crunch in recording this podcast so we had to stick to a pretty strict schedule. However, there's still about 50 minutes of free range Jackass...

Our old pal, The Golden Jackass, stops by for his annual mid-year update.

If you've been around TFMR for any length of time, then you know that we like to bring on Jim Willie whenever we have an extended, U.S. market holiday weekend. Tuesday brings Independence Day but Monday is Canada...

It's a three-day market holiday weekend...and that's a good thing, too, considering that the BLSBS came in at expectations and, as such, the Comex metals would likely be down today.

But we don't have to worry about that until Sunday evening or Monday. For today, though, if you want to...

In what has become an annual tradition, please take time to listen to this latest podcast with The Golden Jackass himself, Jim Willie....or, as he likes to call himself now, Viceroy James.

The "Viceroy James" part is a joke. Jim figures that if he's going to call me "Lord Hemke", then...

So what do Jim and I discuss here at the mid-point of 2022? To be honest, I don't...

I wasn't sure we could get it done but we did. So here is your holiday Jackass.

Again though, since this was put together on short notice, time was short, too. I'd promised MrsF my full attention Friday morning as we prepare Turdfork for the holiday weekend. This left little precious...
