No, he means the smoking kind. The Austrian School economists are very much libertarians, and that it one of those issues where the far right bends right around to the left.

Their fundamental thesis (or his, at least) for the present day is that there is an on-going credit implosion world-wide: far too much debt (and derivatives thereon) for the value of the assets or sovereign authority underlying it to support anything even approaching full par valuation.

That's why they believe the gold is going to continue to go; not because of hyper...
The present system in US reminds me of the one in USSR ,but there with a government telling people what do ,was free education and health ,here we don't have even that. And the quality of both was very good , specially education.

Man, oh man...

I was comparing your chart to mine, and something just wasn't making sense. After much head scratching, I found a week's worth of daily candles were missing on my chart from July.

Feckin MT4! I had to generate new history files from my Dukascopy tick data. Riddle solved...and questions answered. Now I'm back to doing a proper comparison of notes. Thank you for posting that...don't know how long it would have been before I noticed that!

On the the links last night to (then) future-President Reagan giving a tv speech on behalf of Barry Goldwater in 1964 spoke to that issue then as powerfully and accurately as it would today.

The problem, however, is dogmatists. Even out of that Goldwater defeat came a generation of zealots for whom rules of law, truth, and true concern for the people was subordinated to doctrine.

But I'm digressing into politics; always dangerous and against my principles.

OK...right, right, right.

So he's saying legalize marijuana and tax it...and continue to use, and further exploit hemp for what it offers. Then my total is in...I do believe I like 10 of them...one of which is..."Legalize drug imports from Canada," but if I didn't agree with that one, somebody big and scary may come and shake me down in the middle of the night.

Great article...thanks for posting.

I have NO idea!

My terminal is open 24/5...often 24/7 with a reboot every couple of weeks. I've had it happen a few times with MT4...the .hst files just get corrupted. Even then, if you go into the History Center and download, that data is full of holes, too. I capture all tick data (large) from Dukas and then convert it with a script to .hst files for MT4...and .fxt if I want to run backtests. Pain in the butt...but works well.

I noticed that post was extracted. Seems rather odd to me. I guess politics is a very touchy one.
