bla bla bla "- you may know that your society is doomed." Those are the words spoken by a damn fool. When you find that things are BAD, you CHANGE things to make them better ... you don't pronounce your society as "doomed". Apparently you read that ...

US leaving TPP: A great news day for China

"-- Ayn Rand" Yeah, and when you look in your wallet and see that it is empty, you tell preachers like Ayn Rand where they can get off.

US leaving TPP: A great news day for China

OPEC agreement is irrelevant AND unlikely. When the Iraqi ISIS battles are over, Iraq will develop production greater than Saudi Arabia. Trump will allow the FX pipeline to carry Canadian oil to the Texas coast. Technology development will allow nat ...

Oil: Why An OPEC Production Cut Is Unlikely

Globalism is the trickle down theory of the fiscally incompetent left. Proof is in the US trade and budget deficits. Globalism doesn't float all boats. It sinks the USA.

US leaving TPP: A great news day for China

Malaysia is becoming a Chinese suburb. Scary for Malaysian real estate tycoons. Nobody else gives a damn.

$100 Billion Chinese-Made City Near Singapore 'Scares the Hell Out of Everybody'

Whiners are wieners. An alternative article discussing liberals from the conservative perspective. Anyone who would characterize "America First" as "backward step away from international co-operation" hasn't looked at trade and treasury deficits.

Don’t expect US, Russia and China’s emerging superpower club to help global recovery

Hollywierd has it wrong. Skynet AI will originate in a hedge-fund super-computer where self interest is the prime directive.

Inside a Moneymaking Machine Like No Other

I wonder why two-hike-Fischer wasn't on the Forex calendar.

Fischer: Longer-Term Challenges for the U.S. Economy

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Negative interest rates in Europe will make a 25 basis rate hike in the US more capital attractive. The FED has the responsibility to cool the US economy BEFORE it goes on a rampage. So, I'm implying two ...

Fed’s Yellen Confirms December Rate Hike Plans, Risks In Delaying Too Long

US debt is alarming, but wages are near 2008 levels and employment is almost 7 million jobs greater. So, "a totally ruined US economy" is a misrepresentation. OTOH the European Union is suffering political dissolution and EURO valuation will suffer. ...

Yellen: The Economic Outlook

Sen COATS: "But as we pursue these policy changes, we also have to be mindful of a nearly $20 trillion national debt that looms ominously over the U.S. economy. Where debt-to-GDP stood at 39.3 percent in 2008, it will total 76.6% by the end of this ...

Fed’s Yellen Confirms December Rate Hike Plans, Risks In Delaying Too Long

Ugh... there is NOTHING just discovered in the Permian Basin oil field. That's one of the most researched oil fields on the planet. It's always been a question of development cost vs return. It is still not possible to get 100% of the oil trapped in ...

The largest oil deposit ever found in America was just discovered in Texas

Considering the fiscal incompetence of the donkey party, nobody cares about braying noises anymore.

Elizabeth Warren rips Trump’s picks of ‘Wall Street insiders’

Yeah, it's hot air, but even Americans want oil above $45.

Russian energy minister turns oil around

Russia will agree to anything that moves oil prices up. Unfortunately for them scientific advancements for alternatives (such as manufacturing polypropylenes from natural gas) works against them.

Russian energy minister turns oil around

Not a bad miss from API. It's hard to predict when refineries start switching to winter blend. If the Russians can figure out how to cure the 1200 yr old conflict between Shia and Sunni then they have a chance of getting production ducks in a row. ...

DOE Crude oil inventories 5274K vs 1000K estimate

I hope Trump finds a way to gag the Fed. This "openness" has market corruption risk associated with high public speaking fees and insider trading. Big government has completely run amok in the good ol' USA.

US Fed's Bullard says one rate increase, possibly in Dec, may be enough to move monetary...

One thing Trump should do is tell the Fed to shut up. The Vice chair shocked markets with his projection of TWO rate hikes before the end of the year. Don't tell me that kind of "openness" isn't a risk of corruption.

How Trump Could Spell Trouble for the Fed

US business health has little to do with an ego bloated Fed. A hike of .25% won't sink the boat. And neither did a Trump election. I predict a .25% rate hike in December will actually boost stocks.

Investors Catch Breath, Markets Consolidate

Give 'em Hell Thunderheart! Democrats are fiscal idiots. Republicans are biblical automatons. I would be happy if they would just balance the Fn budget!
