11-17-2025 Will Gov’t “Car Wash” The Facts
———————-
Bulls might not ever get rich. But markets tell them they’re digging a ditch.

With the shutdown ending, government will wash the facts and the market will spin them. Will the Bulls get out of the ditch or will the Bears bury them?

3.80 in the 10-year yield happens if the Bears fail near term. How much does it depend on the action in commodities? Copper’s rise over the last three months is stalling. Oil struggles but is rising from the bottom. Gold’s torn between global trends. Wheat is waking up. Regardless, clean facts will help.

Come on and send them, please, fact wash.
Clean them with meaning now, fact wash yeah.
