Have mercy ! You have a daughter??
Well, you let her get any ole tattoo she wants, and tell her Uncle Farmboy said it was ‘OK”. 🙂
the Obama man has come off vacation to actually do something. And he aint waiting around for those lackey Rhino’s to get er done.
Ya know, I think there might be hope for the boy yet ! Somebody has to step up and fix this climate change stuff besides Al Gore.
Reckon Obama cant change the fact that terrorists are cutting off American Journalist heads, might as well fix that Global ‘Climate Change’ thing.
Must be tough being President with all that free vacation time on your hands. I wonder if I could get a job as a caddy?
Must have read hundreds of similar articles over the past ten years. Articles written by folks much smarter than I. Those with the ‘know’ and experience. And I have scratched this old bald head many a time wondering why people still keep trusting the folks on Wall St to look after their ‘best interest’ ? When the only interest is how to fleece as much from the common folk as they can. Kinda sounds like a Gubberment don’t it?
” Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus”. Why anyone believes in the ‘markets’, trust in the market, is a stretch of my imagination no doubt. But oh how the stories abound. Someone made millions here. Buffet made billions there. But for the most part, the majority wont come near to doing that in the markets. Reminds me of the old joke about how to make a million dollars in the wine business? Start with two million. Although I do know a man who has his own vineyard and winery and doing quite well these days up in the Carolina’s no less. Guess there are exceptions to every rule. But on average, whatever that might be. I once was told to put one foot in a bucket of ice water, and the other foot in a campfire, and I too could experience, average. Just never sounded like anything I wanted to try or be.
No, I am pretty sure, at least for self, that the mystery of the markets, and even knowing they are manipulated is the story as old as mankind. Like the moth attracted to the flame. folks are gonna seek comfort and warmth from the idea of ‘saving’ money in the markets. After all, it worked for Grandpappy all those years. Have one financial Guru on the radio that still believes the bewt thing to do with your extra dollars is to put them into the markets. Now I just aint that smart. God Bless those who can read the charts, listen to CNBC, and make a fortune. I aint one of them. Admire them, but recognize it aint for me. I am more the old fashioned type and willing to open an oil change store, a butcher shop, or a coffee shop. Something that I can trade a tangible thing for a few greenbacks. But I must honestly admit, there is still something that draws me to the ‘easy’ money of doing nothing. Must be that lazy streak in me.
And then there is how will I spend (invet) the hours of my day? Guess I can chase the Almighty dollar, and the fame an fortune it may bring. But as I grow older, I find what gives me the greatest pleasure, is volunteering down at the Food Pantry on Saturdays, carrying out groceries to those that the markets have failed. Those that didn’t have the insider information, or Direct Feeds. Figure I just get to pass through this thing called Life but once. And there is something to be said about, “It was not just about me.” Lord knows I hope to be rich someday. And I would like to think I would help others someday. But someday rolls around every Saturday morning around these parts. And I get to carry some groceries for a few folks that don’t have any. Kinda cracks me up to take a few bags of food and load them into a Jaguar, or Cadillac Escalade. But I aint here to judge folks, its above my ‘pay grade’. Just happy to be of help to those that say they are in need. And let me tell you, the numbers of those in need keep growing every week. Maybe if they listened to CNBC they would be better off?
Well, that is a few of my thoughts on the markets. They have about as much ‘transparency’ and honesty as the current administration on 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. But yet, I still flock to the flame like a moth. Hope is eternal, and surely, those folks on Fall St know better than I. But I cant help but wonder, what if those folks had held some of their wealth in their own hands ? Would I need to carry their groceries for the week out to their car? Life, it is still all a mystery to me.
Several years ago my daughter announced she was going to get a tattoo on her back. I said to be sure and get a butterfly “tramp stamp”. I even offered to pay. She looked at me like I was speaking a mixture of Swahilli and Portugese. I said it would even change with age. Now she was really confused. I said, ” the butterfly on the back will morph into the buzzard in the crack!”
She is now in her late thirties with a family and no tattoos!
rno
Great minds think alike .. or is that warped minds? ..anyhow..you get the idea.. [G]
I ws just looking for a pic like that. thx you da man…….
“I promise cross my heart to post just the bare minimum …what ever that is ….”
…..”bare minimum ” …lol
Hi Ment 🙂 .. you Old stirrer of the pot!
and people please, no hate mail, i am just trying to have some fun.
.us beat up squashed Gold bugz ..have to have a laugh once n a while..
“throw one back at you for fun”
grin .. stomping in the room lol
okay grin nice return .. no more stomping
and I promise cross my heart to post just the bare minimum …what ever that is ….
“so hurtful does this give you a sense of adulthood ?”
No it just underscores how you may be at times demeaning or lumping others into the same group of which you may not understand just for the sake of stomping in the room . I just throw one back at you for fun.
“grin you have had a chip on your shoulder for years over a post that was taken out of context.. I have always enjoyed your posts and TA work..
Nope no chip and I dont even remember what post you are talking about. Honestly I like your wit, style,and humor just dont paint all chartists, Jews, african americans, native americans or any other good folk with the same brush. Some are good and some are bad. Will be for ever and a day.
Who’s mountain?
Ad nausea, I think maybe 52% of chartists might get a correct call for tomorrow based on short term charts.. for thursday that may drop to 51 and friday likely 50. But going to the longer time frames I think that rate of success increases for the well studied if they act.
Likely the observations are far better successes than the actions because the follow through required for well studied analysis is dependent on more than critical thinking. One must convict to their analysis and emotions and only look at price.
Case in point, I have done about 65% in a small account for etfs since Jan of this yr. But if I could have taken emotion out of the equation the number would have been far higher, likely in the hundreds….
My only hope is that we all do well in this terribly maligned sector, the past 10 yrs have been far too much for the average person that saw the writing on the wall jmho.
Get error message “error saving media attachment” after I up load picture ,a jpg file..
I never get to “insert media” ..Im using Ubuntu linux op system all was well until a few days ago when apparently w wordpress change was made !
Am able to get my file to media library but thats all .
I was unable to read the print in the Black frame even though I could make out something in there !
“…the SEC which oversees stock exchanges has allowed both the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq to create a bifurcated market. The unsophisticated investor is given trading data on which to base trading decisions on a slow data feed called the Securities Information Processor or SIP. The SIP is not only slow in getting the data to the technology-challenged investor, but it has limited data.
For the rich and powerful on Wall Street who can afford massive fees, there is another data feed offered by the exchanges called the Direct Feed. The Direct Feed data, which has far more useful information, arrives in the hands of High Frequency Traders and Wall Street’s proprietary traders ahead of the arrival of the SIP data. This allows the Direct Feed users to buy a stock on the cheap and sell the stock back to the SIP user at a higher price…
The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, which also have a mandated regulatory role to ensure that their markets are fair and non-discriminatory, have allowed the two-tiered market to exist because they are collecting hundreds of millions of dollars a year selling the SIP to the dumb money and the Direct Feed to the smart money…”
For someone that is not drinking the daily dose of electronic kool aid from the mainstream media, this is a systemic, institutionalized control fraud that inevitably leads to a financial crisis. And a close survey of the markets today might lead one to observe, ‘My God. These lunatics are going to do itagain.’
That is what it is in plain words. That is what the price discovery of the US, which controls the reserve currency of the world and sets many of its key prices, is based upon. This is not some rogue trader, or anomalous abuse. This is fraud that is deeply woven into the very fabric of the system, and is widely tolerated with a self-serving wink and a nod.
For example, the privately held London Metals Exchange was dismissed as a defendant in the aluminum price fixing case today because it is immune from US prosecution as ‘an organ of the UK government.’ That is quite an admission, and some organ. Droit du seigneur. Reminds one of the motive for dismissal insinuated by the Barrick motion in the Blanchard gold manipulation suit.
What is it going to take to wake people up? What markets are left that have not been exposed as deeply rigged at their core?
A big part of the rest of the world isn’t buying it anymore. And that is taking us into some very deep, dark, and uncharted waters.

they can paint the tape, suck it in, tuck it , prop it .. and whatever else to it…
but when the monetary system begins to crack at the seems, the run to Gold will be EXPLOSIVE!
My sister once said, do not trust the Damn inspector … if you live below the Damn, better had get off your A$$ ‘N inspect it yourself.
best, bug
matrix on the fifth level lol
the stocks will rise as the boyz paint the tape …up
can’t have something that really reflects the real
I started to give the Wicked Winds a parcel of clothes pins. Decided on the Frog Tape instead. Just never know with ‘that one’.
Some tout, and believe, the Gubberment numbers. Some cling to Fall St cries. And I hear some, just measure all things financial by the ounce. What a bunch of Golden Relics they are huh?
“It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.”
Re parts:
“For now, The Fed has a magic checkbook that allows it to spend without paying the bill because it thinks the checks will never come back to be cashed.”
Comment: Every time the Fed creates money, the rest of the world gets it. Then they move in next door.
art: “Thus, in the 1970s, in the wake of the Nixon Shock, members of OPEC accused the US of exporting inflation.”
Comment: The gold backing was removed in ’71. After that nobody knew what the dollar was worth. So the Dollar dropped oil went up.
Part: “The international monetary system itself depends a lot on the U.S. dollar, or, to be precise, on the monetary and financial policy of the U.S. authorities.”
Comment: The “US authorities” are not really the local “US authorities”. The global governmental authorities are doing business using our name. Even the US Dollar is not really a US dollar. Its a Fed Res Note DBA US Dollar.
The author is not up to speed imo. The Fed Res actions have been a burden on the USA and a benefit for the rest of the world. Even Switzerland lost its sovereignty to the world gov’t.
I would not believe him either, this is the one i saw that he posted on another forum. …. Have A Great Day:)
why don’t I believe you
