Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

So is the 50% furlough of the IRS a reality now or was that just a sensational headline? And are we just gonna make it permanent?
Spot silver 50.40
It spike up and down not long after opening about 1 dollar. I've never seen that before....
I see the Sunday Funnies posted. Can't wait to see them. I wonder what the general theme is this time. Stuff changes so fast.
Does anyone understand why GLOBEX on CME for December 25 2025 is huuuuuuge? Corn, soybean, Crude Oil, gold, silver and more.
Is that normal?
Then for crypto to me it appears they are cashing in a lot in October/November so they can afford this endeavor of shorting everything at once?
Maybe I am viewing this backwards?
Yeah crypto has always been the place they park their cash until they are ready to start their next shenanigans

Hey everyone! The price of silver gold and Bitcoin are not going up. The value of our money is going down.
Money lost its value long ago. Only now its starting to show in the market.
Is it just me, or, are there no super long, super skinny clouds in the sky since the government shutdown.
