From what I read earlier today, Sunday night forex open may have some fireworks. The vote results by the Germany Social Democrats whether or not to form another coalition with Merkel will be released. Now that I could see being really wide range market moving news.
I am closing my open positions before the weekend, don't need any fireworks up my butt

Just heard a kentucky steel owner say he's happy and is going to invest in a new plant, and that 300 families will benfit. Asked about how the world will view this? He said I don't care about the rest of the world, just the people in kentucky.

The cost of helping a few families with employment is pale in comparison to the higher prices the whole country will have to cough up for anything made of steel and aluminum. Mr T is messing with NAFTA, as Mexico and Canada are the biggest importers.

higher wages will help to cover the cost I guess

Higher wages for who? In the last 30 years in US, wages have increased something like 14% for the average worker. Waitresses make 2 bucks an hour in some states. Pretty grim overall!

Largely caused by out sourcing jobs and importing labor competition while the need for labor decreased due to technology gains. The rich have made off like bandits while the middle class disappears.

Dow down -575. It can easily go another 575 points down before the close.

I have no position in JPY ATM but might jump on a short side as looks like the market is "chewing it's tail" from the Feb 26 wick. Gettting close to Friday but no NFP so it's Open Season this Thursday.

One doesn't have to look any further than the Fed, ECB and the JCB. Inflation is the printing of currency. It started with Nixon screwing the French in the early 70's and in the process set the world on a course for unfettered currency creation.

Here a series on the difference between money and currency. When you get done watching the videos you will have a different understanding of your wealth.

You can thank Woodrow wilson for this one. He signed the federal reserve act, and shortly after doing so, regretted terribly what he had done!

I did read he regretted it greatly afterwards. I wonder how much choice he had, and the reason I say that is I believe the Czar was offered in the early 1900's to have a central bank established in Russia and he turned it down. After turning it down he remarked that he might have signed his own death. A little over a decade later he and his family was killed.

The Mystery of Banking by Murray Rothbard written in 1983 lays it all out also.

But actually it started with FDR's confiscation of gold. Then Nixon etc etc.

Well when you stop laughing ... start reading the news.

Trumpie losing people in his administration left and right almost everyday. AG Sessions is probably next. Mueller getting guilty plea after guilty plea.

Now he is putting trade war into high gear.

The Germans may or may not have a new coalition on Sunday.

And oh yeah the Italian are voting on Sunday also.

Does anyone realize the Italian GDP is LESS than the state of California by itself. Anyone, Bueller, anyone? Big effing deal.

The Italians could elect Sophia Loren as PM and it wouldn't matter as much as if the Germans don't put a reasonable coalition together.
