I guess so. Maybe 3000 coronavirus deaths per day are inconsequential, but one person shot, well that's different.

How to shut down America's Pipeline of Poison (AKA Fox News): boycott their advertisers. Money talks.

Slowly, the Americans begin to wake from their delirium. But this outcome could have been predicted in 2016 (and was predicted by many). The Banana Republicans are now trying to distance themselves from the insurrection, but not so fast. They were ...

There are two separate forces at work on USD: 1. Flight to safety, which started a few weeks back and will still continue for a while; 2. Estimates of economic strength based unemployment claims and other fundamentals. There was a knee-jerk reaction ...

"...will buy an unlimited amount of Treasury and mortgage-backed securities..." = "The presses will not stop rolling". The economy will be awash with cash. Once the recessionary/deflationary cycle closes, say hello to hyperinflation. Hey Not-KPMG, ...

Things aren't Ever Going Back to "Normal" People will adapt to the new way of things. Online game servers are already getting overloaded. I'm sure Netflix is seeing record volume. Amazon too. People will find new activities, new ways of doing ...

Yep, agreed. Powell appears to be trying to postpone the next recession/crash until after the 2020 election. The Fed is supposed to stay out of politics, that is the reason why its independent from the government.

Poetic justice ... oh you're such an optimist!

Stocks are being buoyed by corporate buybacks fueled by an unsustainable tax cut.

No no no no no. Stock investors have had too-consistently-rising stock indices, too-low interest rates and too-benign volatility conditions for far too long. That triple whammy invites them to borrow to the hilt to buy more stocks. They are way ...

He's also a mentally stable genius. And truthful too! The stock market is way too top-heavy from too many years of free loans (look up "Minsky moment") and is threatening to jump off a cliff at the mere suggestion of faster than expected interest ...

It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

The author overlooks the effect of the bonds market. Bonds are considered risk-free because at the end of the term you get all your money back. But stocks are not so guaranteed, so they are riskier. So when inflation is low, bond yields are low and ...

Yeah, but Dump doesn't have to know anything about economics or have common sense, he is a mentally stable super genius. Maybe he'll get every aide in the WH to line up along the Canadian border and moon them in unison.

How do you "exploit" trade, or "exploit" the U.S. as a trade partner? Trade is between two companies or individuals, and what countries they are situated in is irrelevant. A seller has a right to ask what price he/she wants; a buyer has a right to ...

LOL! Yeah, some people are now beginning to feel that Bitcoin is pretty tender too! So keep holding! (I'm not going mistype "hodl' intentionally for all the rice in China!)
