Yahoo is the most appropriately named company ever. Those yahoos can and do screw up anything. Yahoo answers had become a pretty good successor to Ask Jeeves. So of course they mucked it up. Their email is slower than the Pony Express. Never have ...

The 2008 housing bubble burst here actually started in 2006 with prices down about 10% by 2008 depending on area. Fear causes people to put off some purchases so all the blather about a recession becomes somewhat self fulfilling. A 0.1% downturn is ...

Bitcoin is the only course dumber than a gold standard. Yes the block chain verifies but the amount of computing power used is extraordinary and very very slow. Even the new idea of attaching a debit card to it does not alleviate those issues. It ...
Alan Greenspan wants the US to go back on the gold standard

Gold standard ignores silver. So after a big fight we went bimetal. But that ignores copper etc. The real value of a nation is the output of its people. In the 1600's John Locke was a high ranking bureaucrat in the king's administration dealing with ...

Easier to threaten candidates so no one complies with the decision of the people? Less open than directly saying your vote does not matter. All the more reason to exit. All the more reason for the US to elect Trump.

Who is it that needs the EU? Not GB, not Germany. UJKU80 has it right on them. The takers of the southern tier need it and France wants it. The Euro is a convenience for people who often travel cross borders but is not needed for trade. Trade ...

"Why are you here?" Juncker asks Brexit lawmakers
- gat commented Jun 27, 2016
The elites continue to project doom and gloom same as before the vote. Many bet wrong and of course unwinding positions causes the drop. Meanwhile the Brits gained freedom and the pound will recover while the Euro is pressured. That's my opinion.
