I discuss the military and science technology of the Western World versus the Third World, China, Africa, Iran, Latin-America, etc. I specifically look at the claim, by Iran that it has developed a stealth fighter of its own.
[I'm not so sure if Gold will hit a record before the year ends. Yes, Gold is definitely set for very high levels starting next year and going forwards for several years. We might not ever see Gold at these current levels again for years, and maybe never again for the rest of our lives. But I doubt it will just surge upwards for the election. I'm somewhat skeptical.

Gold could hit a record before the year-end, aided in part by the risks surrounding the US presidential election, according to Citigroup Inc.
Uncertainty over the contest and delays about the outcome may “be under-appreciated by precious metals markets,” analysts including Aakash Doshi said in a quarterly commodities outlook. The bank’s forecast implies a surge of more than $200 for bullion futures from current levels.
Gold rallied to an all-time high last month as investors sought havens amid the coronavirus pandemic, but prices have slipped back since then. Citi’s outlook reflects rising investor concern about the battle for the White House that pits incumbent Donald Trump against challenger Joe Biden. The already complex race has acquired added tension with Trump’s plan to speedily replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the US Supreme Court.
The election “could be an extraordinary catalyst for gold flat price and volatility skew late in the fourth quarter, even though historically there is no clear pattern for gold trading or price volatility into and after U.S. elections,” Citi said,. “That is one reason why we expect gold prices to hit fresh records before year-end.”
Futures traded at $1,894.20 an ounce on the Comex at 12:36 p.m. in Singapore, with prices losing ground this week on a rising dollar. Most-active prices set a record $2,089.20 on August 7. In addition to the election, Citi is very positive on gold amid low interest rates, saying it’s in the middle of a bull cycle.
Election day is November 3.
