sharkman Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 You forgot something, Michael. You didn’t blame Trump. Here, let me select a random quote from one of your many such posts. But pull up your socks, I can’t always be around to cover for you… …”Usually around deficits - but @eyeball this is key: you MUST IGNORE Trump's boom time deficits and the subsequent shoe-licking by the Tea Party losers who wouldn't shut up when Obama implemented QE in 2008.“ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkman Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 This has been an awful week for the DOW. An awful month, really. Ditto for the TSE. From a high of 33301 about a month ago, the DOW dropped below 30,000 today and settled at 29,590. And this disaster can realistically be laid at the feet of Biden. His handling of COVID, Ukraine, the economy and several other items show a complete disconnect from economic reality. Last January the DOW peaked at about 36,400, so it’s down almost 7,000 for the year. To the Trump haters I wonder when you’ll realize that Trump actually ran the economy quite well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump shovelled money to the corporations by increasing the debt. Not really a conservative tactic but definitely a Trumpian one. If "the economy" means "the DOW" then I have zero disagreement with you here. You have been on the record in the past as being against corporate handouts and Trump definitely did THAT - in good times to boot. But yeah Biden wrecked the world economy ok.

sharkman Posted September 26, 2022 Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 Not sure while you feel the need to defend Biden as if you’re related. How about this: the DOW went down another 330 points today, but it wasn’t Bidens fault. And I’m sure he’s a really nice guy. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkman Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 As of this post, the DOW is at 28,725, which has it well under 29,000. After just crossing the 30,000 wall a couple of days ago. And the US has yet to suffer a move away from the petro dollar. When that happens, look out below. My sources said China is going to sign a huge oil deal with the Mideast, which will have drastic consequences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In after hours trading, Amazon stock dropped 14%. This is after it dropped something like 3% during the day. https://www.ft.com/content/21549840-3641-4a36-95c0-efb79b7f0391 “Shares of Amazon, already down 35 per cent this year, fell as much as 20 per cent in after-hours trading on Thursday before recovering to trade 13 per cent lower. It was the latest Big Tech group to disappoint investors this week, after Google owner Alphabet, Facebook parent Meta, and Microsoft spooked Wall Street by warning of slower growth and higher costs.“ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkman Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 More bad news, this time in the US food industry. https://www.iowapublicradio.org/agriculture/2022-10-31/1-1-million-hens-being-culled-bird-flu-wright-county?_amp=true “The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship said Monday that a case of highly pathogenic avian influenza was found in a commercial layer flock in Wright County. A spokesman said the flock has approximately 1.1 million birds. As of Monday afternoon, depopulation, which means all birds in the flock are being destroyed to prevent the virus from spreading, is ongoing, the spokesman said.” And: “As of Oct. 31, more than 14.4 million commercial and backyard birds in Iowa this year have died from the virus or been killed to contain it. 47.86 million backyard and commercial birds have been impacted nationwide.” That means that 47.86 million birds have been destroyed, not including the 1.1 million on the latest cull. Those would be meat and egg producing birds, and means that prices are going up for these staple products. They have no idea how it’s spreading despite their bio-security efforts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The future, at the moment, is bright enough to warrant a pair of shades thanks. I also have a little dinghy, a bunch of jigs and a couple of crab pots - we're stylin'.

You'd never guess it was the end of the world. Not the end of the world, the beginning of a brave new era. Just like the run up to the crash of 2008, the powers that be keep applying band aid solutions that won’t last. They are trying to stave off the inevitable. 2008 came whether they wanted it to or not. To anybody reading this, watch the movie, The Big Short. Christian Bale, Steve Carell and Brad Pitt tell a fascinating tale. And what you are experiencing is the intake of breath before the plunge. We live in exciting times.
