I have owned and operated several business’s in my life time. So am aware of all the ‘Tribute’ one must pay out along the way.

Mind you, this is not some ‘make a million’ scheme or goal. It simply is to provide a place for friends to meet, enjoy a 2.00 cup of coffe, share ideas, opinions, bitch about whatever. If there is a little in the till come months end, and the bills are paid, I will count it a great success.

Some call me a ‘Dreamer’. 🙂

Ps) I hate gold stocks, bunch of fickle idiots that neither understand, or stand by, their very own product. I hate trading. It cuts into my fishing time. But for now, it is a means to a goal. And so far this year, I have made enough to buy that first coffee machine. Now don’t go discouraging me about all the hassles of owning a coffee shop. LOL

I did for 25 years and everybody profited ..from MY investment ,my Hard work to an extent more than I did. The Franchisor got 16% of every dollar that walked in the door.The Marketing department structured every advertisement so the Gross went up instead of the Profit (their 16% ) instead of my net.The Government took 4.5 % of my Gross sales as sales tax,on my investment .It cost me $25,000 of investment to created every JOB I created (25)of them.Employees never even said thank you for creating the job they got ! The Franchisor lied to me about how the Rent was constructed in violation of the agreement. The Labor department told me to Prove I wasent discriminating under penalty of Law when I dident  hire the idiots they sent down  from thier unemployment rolls to test me  . I was subject to 160 different TAXES to simply run a COFFEE and Donut shop …Paid Real Estate TAXES ,inventory Taxes ,even taxes on the equipment every year ,and had TAX FORM that read “This is where you report CAPITAL  not otherwise Taxed”    …I had an accountant to pay who enforced the tax laws ,but I had to pay him .! It ran 7 days a week 24 hours a day! ..Now I only work when the Market is open….and NO weekends !

NOW is simply buy GOLD stocks and only pay taxes when I take a profit !  NO freeloaders on my investment.!     You still want to run a Coffee Shop ?

Note: I was introduced to this principle (law) of the universe by an engineer friend who sought to prove, at least in his own mind, that there could not be a G-d, and that the theory of ‘Creation’ was a hoax. Had some interesting views on the subject, but in the end, what convinced him humans did NOT ‘evolve’ from a slime pit was the Law of Entropy. Well, that and his knowledge of Quatum Physics, which pretty much proves in his mind, that the theory of Evolution is a hoax. Made some sense to me, how he came to his conlusions, once he put in a simple terms. 🙂 Things, do not get better, improve, by themselves if left alone, but the natural course is for things to deteriorate over time. Such is the curse of the world we are experiencing. Things will only get crazier. Which for me, pretty much summarizes the current state of affairs.

Putting Obama in charge was in its effect ,just like putting Mandela in charge in S.A. The economic price will be paid for decades,but the Liberals “FEEL GOOD” about it.

Lets put the village idiot in charge ..thats FAIR ! Human Progress is set back by decades …life under Liberals gets worse as time goes by just like under communists because nobody invests in the FUTURE ..because theres no profit in it. So when the surplus runs out that the capitalists created ..its all over. All thats left is  who gets the blame.!

In spite of everyone puking up mining shares first thing this morning, I was impressed with Gold holding a few bucks above the magical number of 1,250. Silver….who ever knows about that one. It blows more in the wind than Grandma’s laundry line.

Still kept enough JDST even if over weighted in JNUG. It was enough to prevent a trading disaster.

Tomorrow is a brand new day. Let’s see what fortunes, or not, it has in store.

Seriously, if it was not for the creation of those ‘Evil ETF’s’ I would not touch trading with a 100 foot pole. Thus far, having the ability to ‘balance’ my trading account on a daily basis, is the Game Changer for me. I lost $300 today, instead of $3,000. After 15 years on and off of trading, the ‘Buy and Hold’ just didn’t work for me. Its either learn a new way to trade, OR, I have had dreams of a coffee shop for years. Less work, less hours, less stress…maybe one day yet. 🙂 Besides this trading gig keeps me off the streets, which is probably a good deal for everyone. But I hear ya, buddy, trust me you are coming in 5×5. 🙂

BTW: You are still ‘trading’, exchanging paper for something you feel has/will have value. Your drug of choice is Bitcoin. A man has to believe in something. 🙂

I don’t know ol’ buddy. The psychopaths seem to be working overtime to keep us in fear. It’s almost as if they are following some predetermined script.

Nothing makes sense to me anymore.

As for the shares, I’m we’ll beyond the point of trying to trade. Not really enough left to make an impact.

My retirement is worth 60% less than it was in 1998. Oh well, maybe nukes will change that, pretty sure economic collapse is just a 50/50 proposition for pm’s. We tried that once already. 🙂

I don’t think the Russians will like us bombing their allies. I expect their will be some Russian retaliation on those fighting Assad.

Pretty crazy shit going on … and I don’t see any steps towards sanity. A few more stupid moves by individuals and we could well be into a Nuclear War.

After reading your latest article about Syria the impetus is also probably the same that we’ll be in another stupid war, maybe our last one.

These people in D.C. are just plain batshit crazy.

Well … if you’re not forced to sell shares then I say hang onto them. Time is our friend. The impetus towards catastrophe-economic blow ups is increasing.

US Coalition Jets Strike Assad Convoy In Southern Syria

With most expecting Trump to strike North Korea as part of his next foreign military adventure-cum-distraction from the chaos in D.C., the president once again surprised everyone by pulling a lighting bolt, striking twice in one month in the same place.

According to Reuters coalition jets have struck an Assad convoy in Southern Syria; near Tanf where US and British special operations forces have been training Syrian rebel fighters near the border with Iraq and Jordan. A US-led coalition spokesperson has confirmed that coalition strikes in southern Syria struck Syrian government militia “after it moved against US-backed forces in Syria.”

According to a BuzzFeed News reporter, Syrian rebels based with the US Special Forces in the area said that militia supporting the Syrian army has been nearby as well.

That chart is another major reason I don’t trade paper stocks anymore.   Even when you know about that chart, it still takes hold!   I dunno how you do it.  I’d be broke in a hurry.

Time and virtually all MSM are truly the enemies of the people.

I’ve never seen anything like it.

The scum is just toying with the shares. What a joke.

send those guys to march DC so we can start target practice

Sometime contributor Bon Scott who happens to be not only a Trump supporter but more importantly a Constitutional expert and Big  “L” Libertarian had this to say in response the ‘Impeach Trump’ escalation.
