Working on my Taxes

I've been working on paying my taxes. 

The first step is always, getting the printer to work. I only need it one time a year but I always end up going thru my ink by printing out test pages. I alway have trouble getting it working. Even though this year it's brand new. I've got three printers. I think they all work but two of them are out of ink. And it's cheaper to buy a new printer than to replace the toner cartridge. 

I had to print out the tax records from my various brokerages. Online, they were so small that I couldn't read them.

I've done everything except to enter the gains and losses from the brokerages. I'm afraid that I may actually owe taxes this year. I made  $4,000 in one of my accounts (Robinhood) last March. It all went into my car. I'm ahead by about $1,000 on my Kraken account right now so I could sell that and pay taxes with it. We'll see. 

I'm now the IT guy at the local Republican Headquarters. I'm not a dedicated Republican but I like the free coffee I get there. 

I think I'll wrap it up and show you another etching by Malcolm Childers.

I've been a metals trader for years.

 I've traded metals (silver and gold especially) for decades; but I've rarely seen them move as much as it is now. 

A couple of months ago I sold my silver to pay the rent. I'm find myself trying to build up my hoard, now.

I'll be going to the coin club tonight to buy some more silver. The coin club is there basically to have coin auctions on the first Tuesday of the month. I'll take a checkbook and I hope to buy quite a bit. We'll see.

The Gamestop thing has been driving markets like crazy. I put in an order to buy a Standard and Poors put option tomorrow.  That is a bet against the market. I'm bearish. I've seen what happens when margin requirement are raised. It causes massive selloffs across all the markets. 

I sold all of my silver calls this morning with a 300% profit. I regret that because I could have rode them for the next month; and now I may find myself priced out of the market. I think I'll attach an image of one of my etchtings and go to the coin club.

A Cheap way to buy Real Estate

 I was watch a Youtube video a few minutes ago telling about a fellows experience in buying a cheap acreage. 

He drove past a run-down place with a torn up mobile home on it. He contacted the local county authorities and found out it was up for tax sale auction. It had failed to be auctioned off and the county was willing to sell it for $20,000 and they would take terms. 

He got a title on his car for a down payment and it was his over 20 years.

 I got off my rear end maybe I could make something like that happen.

There is a place near Huston MN. that would work for me if I could get it cheap. I'll look into it tomorrow.

On other news, there is a rumor that President Trump has already signed the Insurrection Act. That hasn't been done since the turn of the 18th to 19th century. I hope it's true because the Democrats have been outright treasonous for years and they belong behind bars.

We'll find out soon enough. If he didn't I'll have to go into hiding. I'm conservative and the Democrats will be coming for us soon.

What's Happening with Gold

 Two oa three days in a row, now, gold has been going down whilst silver has gone up strongly.

Normally they go in the same direction; in fact, I've been trading gold and silver for 30 + years, now, and I've never seen this happen. Much less happen multiple days in a row. They are normally in lock sync with silver moving more than gold but they go in the same direction. Maybe silver is finally making it's long-awaited breakout. We'll see.

I'll be buying some silver mining options tomorrow.

After forgetting about my blog for years I was surprised to see a couple of people still following it. A month or two ago I started running videos of things I felt were likely to be censored as a means of getting around the censorship.

On other news; I now have a television. My sister sent me one for Christmas. I've been watching movies; especially ones by a certain Hollywood babe who I apparently had some hallucinations about. Actually, it's normal for a schizophrenic to believe he's has had affairs with famous women. I've had many of these.

At least they beat hallucinations involving a lot of violence; which was my norm in years past.

On a more real note; it's been snowing and I'm making money with shoveling snow. Finally I am coming into some income. We expect 10 inches tomorrow. I'll  make over $100 in one day. I may have beaten that over the Christmas weekend.

If it does snow 10 inches I'll be glad I have a snow blower. I need another battery and charger but maybe I can get those quickly from Amazon. I just have to be able to afford them.

I think I'll go to Amazon and see if I can order a battery.
