REMARKS BY PRESIDENT CLINTON,
PRESIDENT BUSH, PRESIDENT CARTER, PRESIDENT FORD,
AND VICE PRESIDENT GORE
IN SIGNING OF NAFTA SIDE AGREEMENTS




I tell you, my fellow Americans, that if we learn
anything from the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the fall of the
governments in Eastern Europe, even a totally controlled society
cannot resist the winds of change that economics and technology and
information flow have imposed in this world of ours. That is not an
option. Our only realistic option is to embrace these changes and
create the jobs of tomorrow. (Applause.)


I believe that NAFTA will create 200,000 American jobs in
the first two years of its effect. I believe if you look at the
trends -- and President Bush and I were talking about it this morning
-- starting about the time he was elected president, over one-third of
our economic growth, and in some years over one-half of our net new
jobs came directly from exports. And on average, those export-related
jobs paid much higher than jobs that had no connection to exports.


I believe that NAFTA will create a million jobs in the
first five years of its impact. And I believe that that is many more
jobs than will be lost, as inevitably some will be as always happens
when you open up the mix to a new range of competition.


NAFTA will generate these jobs by fostering an export
boom to Mexico; by tearing down tariff walls which have been lowered
quite a bit by the present administration of President Salinas, but
are still higher than Americans.

Ok. So, are you for or against NAFTA?

Probably depends on whether one is a Democrat or Republican ? As just about everything in this world. No more right and wrong, Just where one stands politically.

Notice I didn't state my opinion. I am being PC today.

Everyone wants to be all politically correct. This in itself will demolish the very core this country was built on. Anyone who does not stand for something will fall for anything. I think this is not the place for me to express my views of our great leaders. I should just be like the masses and bitch in the privacy of my home and believe every word they speak without question, After all they really do have our best interest at heart, and broken words and promises are just things of the past.

Sorry folks for my rants as I shall switch gears and get back to the topic this thread was created for!!

The following are in trend mode:

Here are some ETF's in trend mode:

Many on both lists look very good going forward. I think the pullbacks will offer good entry points. Then again you need to ask yourself, "Do you think commodity related issues have run their course"...

Wall Street fluctuated Wednesday as investors sorted through a downbeat Federal Reserve assessment of the economy and were also disappointed by a plan to bail out troubled bond insurer Ambac Financial Group Inc.
The fed has no plan. They are not dumb they see the massive problems. Listen you cannot fix a small crack by pouring truckloads of money in it. The crack becomes wider and so what does the fed do? They just bring in more dump trucks of cash. This has been going on for a long time. Now that crack that was just a few inches is now 30’ wide and requires thousands of dump trucks to try to fill the hole. This approach to our problem is the dumbest thing.

I’ve recently started a company Ticker “PRESS” my company sells printer presses to the fed and we have seen a huge demand for more of our printers then ever before. Our backlog is unreal. Mr. B just got off the phone with me and was very upset because he can’t print it fast enough. I ensured him that we would expand our facilities to help meet the demand for just a small increase…ehehehe

Huge shift has been brewing as all the oil-producing countries are pushing for the dollar being replaced with the euro. This will most likely happen in next 3-5 years.

Smart money is trying to dump USD and moving into euro...IMHO.. Gee how low can the USD go?


March 18 fed might raise oil prices again should he cut rates...

Good question and I have not a clue...

"The Bear is doing his nasty job. What's his job? To move the stock market down while keeping as many people as possible IN the market. How does he do it? Periodic rallies, rallies that convince people that "all is well'. Rallies that keep people wondering if we rally are in a bear market. Plus of course, the usual bullish blather from the media and Wall Street "experts' who haven't a clue as to what's really happening."

Oh my goodness I just realized nobody here trades stocks... I looked at the poll thing at the top.... Ya mean I've been ranting and raving in the wrong forum? What an idiot... Sorry for this FOREX traders...

Come to think about it now I understand the lack of any participation.. You guys are only looking for the next FOREX set-up..hehehe

Poll says 46/54.

Global markets were hit hard in the January sell-off. (You remember, the one with the rogue trader scare and the biggest intraday Fed cut in history?)

The major U.S. indexes have struggled to gain traction since then. But other markets, like Brazil, have bounced right back.

Thanks to its agriculture and commodity strength, Brazil is emerging as a 21st-century powerhouse. From soybeans to biofuels to metals -- and perhaps even oil and gas -- Brazil has what the world needs.

Brazil also has another strong endorsement. Last year, Warren Buffett hinted at a “mystery currency.” Berkshire had just one long currency trade,

Buffett said. But he wouldn’t reveal which one.
Most of the guesses turned out to be wrong… It was the Brazilian real.

Buffett recently revealed the trade, and his bullishness on Brazil, in his annual shareholder letter.

But Brazil isn’t the only strong emerging market out there. Turmoil or no turmoil, there are many great opportunities abroad.
