I think we might have stayed positive if the dollar had stayed down, but it’s come all the way back to flat.

The dollar waterfall has a temporary bottom.

Good post. Fairness is all we really want.

Cheers

The multinationals just continue to chase cheap labor around the world.

I fully understand what Trump is trying to do, and it will work, but the Globalists will fight and undermine him every step of the way.

Somehow, he has to succeed in shrinking the government. I’m not sure he’ll be able to do it unless he digs into the NGO’s and finds a paper trail of these Congress critters and bureaucrats stealing from the American public. These judges, including some on the Supreme Court, do not have a healthy fear yet of the American public either. That must change.

It’s certainly an unfortunate situation. Are you guys going to be able to elect people who want to turn things around? This putting people in jail for speaking their mind is really police state business!

Plus more.

ADDENDUM: OH THIS IS GOOD,WATCHING THE REST WAIT FOR IT. POETIC JUSTICE

Story goes there was a leak from Ukraine that the UK was aware of Zelenski planning on a offering a partnership with the minerals to Trump back in September before the election and on the 16 Th of  January Starmer went to Kiev and how he snatched the deal from Trump  getting 100 yr agreement how who knows through threats or promises. Story goes on. If this is not true let Starmer publicly deny and in writing to Trump. That Starmer will try to tell Trump to leave it to them. But Zelenski doesn’t have the authority and if Trump says no the deal with with Zelensky and Starmer are null and void.

All I know is that if those cars are twice as good as American cars, then they should cost twice as much. But they don’t. The foreign car maker does not have to pay medical insurance like US car makers.

Plus the currency exchange rates are totally incorrect. In the foreigner’s favor. For example the Yuan should be 2 yuan to the dollar, not 7 yuan to the Dollar. Its basically a fixed exchange rate aloud to float slightly so it looks fair.

Yes. I don’t care if Toyota or Honda sells cars here. Competition is good and makes for better products. But it has to be fair competition, they can’t send their cars here and pay a 0% tariff while charging our automakers a 100% tariff to sell cars in their markets. That’s what all of these countries do to us and then cry when we want it to be fair and equal trade.
No one hates Canada, but their problem is not our tariffs, their problem is a bloated, over bearing government and regulations that stifle productivity. Trudeau and the rest of his left wing globalist cronies are using this to blame the US for their economic Marxism.

Apparently, there aren’t a lot of Canadians that understand this and want to blame the US and then threaten to cut off our electricity to get their way. They, as most Americans, are unaware that Canada charges over 250% tariffs on our pork and dairy products, essentially locking us out of their markets. But that’s just fine. Same with Europe on our auto’s and other items.
Fair? No, it’s not.

China, otoh, just devalues its currency in addition to charging us tariffs. The US Is always getting hosed, and our politicians have allowed it and benefited financially from it.
Put the blame where it’s due. Governments.

…….leader of the UKIP party. He has the backing of the populist vote.

Starmer only won 20% of the votes available, or 34% of the votes cast. 40% of the electorate didn’t vote at all. Mind you, with the uniparty in control anyway it wouldn’t have made any difference. Sunak was doing all the same sort of things before Starmer.

Did England default.

Oh BTW The Ukrainian guy actually posted a gold chart. BUT in reference our dollar is a loser. It’s maddening in one way coming from a country fleecing and laundering our dollars but in comparison to theirs??? This is what losers will do, use us to survive at our expense then accuse us as being losers. Hungary and Slovakia pulled out of giving them aid putting stress on their economy and he said and thinks collectively accused them of being communists. Communists or losers.

Starmer, I didn’t know who he was till he met Trump. Nursing can be like a convent clueless on what’s going on especially if you have kids because you have no time, energy or resources. Then when you do you could get overwhelmed.  The first red flag was when he was confronted by Vance on the treatment of their citizens I would call persecution over free speech and he deflected.

You’re right. I was employed in manufacturing since 1962. By 1970 I started seeing Toyotas coming in, with Hondas etc etc. Before 1970, you could quit your job and get a better paying one within a half hour.

Newsday used to have three pages of Machinist wanted, and three columns of Precision Sheet metal men wanted, that was me, sheet metal model maker. After a while no more jobs, and hard to get a raise so my 1975 I went for self employment.

There were tool suppliers all over the place too. One time I was in one and I hear the owner on the phone talking to someone from out of state….”You don’t know whats going on down here, everyone is shutting down”

All the people that lost jobs took 40% pay cuts at the next crappy job. Before 1970 high school kids were still buying new muscle cars with three year loans.

Many unemployed started selling used cars out of their back yard. But anyway, I spotted the beginning of the USA decline right after 1970. I kept telling my friends to avoid buying anything imported after 1975. 1945 to 1975 we were pretty well off. I guess we deserved it for bailing out stupid Europe on WW II.

… the party is back on … Trump is being an idiot … commies love commie judges.

Obama Judge Indefinitely Blocks Trump Admin Funding Freeze, Says White House Has ‘Put Itself Above Congress’ And Undermined Democracy | ZeroHedge

The commies made sure the forever party would go on forever.

And Trump has his excuse … ah … well … there’s nothing I can do.

Gotta pay for those Swiss chalets and yachts somehow … they are expensive don’t you know.

I don’t think we should use the word elite or elitist when referring to these parasites and criminals. It infers superiority over the general population in some form. They don’t deserve that meritless title anyway.

We need a short term for a criminal organization.

This is why the Atlanta Fed GDPNow tumbled by 4%+. Imports subtract from GDP, and US just had record gold imports.

“I also think the EU has asked pension funds to dump US assets, to make Trump look bad”

They better watch out! Trump is a kinda vindictive guy with a long memory.

It’s a new world we’re living in! I really enjoyed the video, thanks for posting it.

I really hate Starmer. I think most Brits are regretting putting him in!

Cheers

Ritter makes you think.  They brought us WW1 WW11 locked us into NATO  for their benefit more than ours ,VN and boots on the ground everywhere with the young coming back in boxes while the likes of Biden is looking at his watch, or missing arms and legs, and mostly our dime while our government turns into a criminal depraved ghetto political whore led by the demos and neocons.

Then to find out that Starmer made a 100 yr deal of mining minerals in Ukraine secretly while dragging us in a war with Russia not to mention it would divert war away from them to the US while Europe continues to buy there gas.Follow the money and their broke with green new deals and net zero.  All over a ongoing war they took advantage of and provoked that had nothing to do with us in the first place. Europe claiming we are the enemies now because we won’t play their game.

That made me wonder other than the fact that Putin would pull out his nukes before a defeat anyways. Earnest Hemingway quoted something about that. Something to the fact a man can be destroyed but not defeated.

Just how would Zelenski and UK explain to the US  that they already signed a contract with someone else over the majority and best parts of the minerals and they already got paid back probably with our money that went missing.

I can only see two plans at the moment not saying there’s more. The UK throws Zelenski under the bus or they expect the US to be destroyed by them as well.

Makes sense to me. They’ll screw the German pensioners in a heartbeat. Might explain the weakness in the dollar too, which has literally fallen off a cliff over the last 4 days. Looks like a pm chart in tougher times. Straight down.

I think Europe is making a mistake though. Trump has taken in $1.7 trillion in new investment in the last month. Money like that doesn’t get invested into a country when the investors think it’s going to fail. The world has been screwing us for so long it’s not funny.

I love the way we are holding strong here. Especially most of the shares, it so unusual.

If the EU puts troops into Ukraine and a war results with Russia … should the US come in and support the EU?

No (97%, 29 Votes)
Yes (3%, 1 Votes)
I don’t know (0%, 0 Votes)
Total Voters: 30

Yeah cryptos safe … LOL

“not the people of Europe”

No it’s their leftist tyrannical governments. They are much more WEF controlled than the US. They probably have time to vote the bastards out (as long as the election is not annulled), but the time is short.

The whole EU bureaucracy is a huge problem. As it is set up they seem to have 0 accountability … except maybe to Klaus Schwab or George Soros.

Re Bunds

A good reason they are talking Bunds, is because the losses are going to be horrific and in Funds that are sold as super cautious…….Clients will be steaming mad, as the Funds should never lose this sort of money.

Vast spread trades, where you are short German rates, and long anything else, where you are looking for German rates to move much less than anything else…..will be on….and now suddenly German rates shoot up, way more than all the other rates…Because the Euro is made up of all those different currencies, but you still have different Bond/Note mkts…..and since the Euro was created the German rates were the benchmark……

I also think the EU has asked pension funds to dump US assets, to make Trump look bad….particularly the SM….if that recovers…then EU pensioners and others will lose vast amounts…..
