Gold finally crashed last Friday, dropping to $4,899 from its $5,615 high on Thursday (29jan26).  That’s a 12.75% plunge after starting its most recent run-up last November.  Looking at the price history, it occurred to me that this was no garden variety exponential growth pattern, but something special – super-exponential growth.  Exponentially growing processes reach infinity in infinite time, but super-exponentials reach infinity in a finite (critical) time that can be computed.  So I did a little noodling based on the work of Didier Sornette (2003) who pioneered research on such super-exponential processes that our universe does not support.  Putting in the gold prices since November, I calculated the critical time to be 30jan26, i.e. last Friday.  This prediction showed that Sornette’s theory nailed it.

The movie ‘Melania’, documenting the days leading up to President Trump’s second inauguration, opened to packed or empty theaters last Friday.  Overall the film was a roaring success with conservatives (99% approving and setting a cash office record for documentaries), and a complete bust for the TDS afflicted crowd (only 11% approving).  The First Lady is still persona non grata on the pages and broadcast outlets of the lamestream media.
