Loading ...if Health Insurance’s became illegal prices would drop 98 % and everybody would negotiate with the Doctors for services …
I remember when I had none and my childrens births was no more that TWO weeks PAY and I paid cash( 1962)…Dr visit in 1950 was $3.00 for house calls…..every hospital had a Clinic where you walked in and everybody paid for service cash $5.00 ..everybody had access …
There was no such thing as Insurance …Thats where the Racketeering got started ..
I have no idea what your little rant about “Joos” has to do with Intel buying Mobileye.
Maybe you just feel the need to reinforce the notion that Joos are the world’s greatest perpetual victims.
is a disgrace ,it gives the Health Care Industry a green light to rip off americans when they are most vulnerable ..no jobs ,no competition high deductables thats are in insult to any ones intelligence ! It will be Trumps downfall ..He should have offered everyone over fifty the ability to join Medicare ..That would have solved the problem….The Government could then CONTAIN COSTS instead Trump let Ryan talk him into saving the Blue Cross and Aetna’s of the world when they are the ones ripping off the American people its a disgrace !
Who needs a middle MAN that rips off 30 % of every health Care Dollar ! They provide no health Care services they simply serve as a wasteful middleman who provides NO health benefits !
My experience has been the Insurance companies make sure everyone has a Pre existing condition ..if you ever seen a Dr before they labeled you for life ……Racketeers ..! The only way to cut costs eliminate middle MAn ..put everyone on a single payer program and Government determines what THEY will pay for a given service ..Every Dr visit has a $20.00 co pay cash ….
That strategy ( Oded Yinon) is multi purposed for future infrastructure needs of Greater Israel such as fresh water and gas pipelines combined with Arab/Muslim chaos that benefits the MIC whereby if they are fighting each other, they aren’t attacking Israeli interests.
Not much different from how the neocons have hijacked both the Reds/Blues and Christianity in America, using the same sharp tip of the Zionist spear that has infiltrated US politics, producing grave consequences the world over.
And they have found (installed) their perfect stooge in Trump as Zionists have never been this overtly (over)running his cabinet.
It might help to filter the Jooz/A Rabs so as to not promote the hatred against basically decent individuals. If only they all didn’t turn into Lemmings from the religious brainwashing of the last 5000 years.
sudden drop last week .A story came out that it was “PROFIT TAKING” ..a cover story for Pillaging and crooked market manipulation ignored by the SEC ….Nothing justified the drop ! where is the investigation ? Who looking after innocent investors caught up in that swindle !!Profit taking…my ass…
The gov’t media lies and exaggerates everything, and always directs the publics attention in the wrong direction. The Gov’t Media will NEVER give accurate and valuable information for free. The only time they spew something they don’t like, is after some of the population already knows. IE Cat already out of the bag.
The commie media can create or modify a public opinion in about two weeks. Pretty much everything people supposedly think and know these days, was spoon fed to them from the communist media…..
WITHOUT EVIDENCE:
“Weapons of mass destruction” “Free Trade will create jobs”. “protectionism is bad” (for them not us)
“We are winning in Vietnam,” “we have to stop the spread of communism in Vietnam” “We just need more time” (12 years? note US allied with communist China and communist Russia)
“Cheap imports are good for the consumer”, “We don’t want those dirty polluting factory jobs” “Donald Trump is losing in all the polls” “Nobody needs an assault weapon” (or a 12 cylinder Jaguar) ring a bell?
“Most gun owners agree with universal back ground checks” No evidence.
I’m not sure I have a great feel for anything regarding pm insight. 🙂
You could be right, this sort of bounce is impressive considering how poorly the metals have been acting BUT you never know what will happen after the rate hike.
This pm rally could easily be a little head fake to draw in fresh money before another plunge after the Fed does it’s thing.
Obama was Spying on him at trump Tower and Obama used foreign sources ..some British to do it ,so he could get the CIA and FBI to deny they were behind it …….giving them plausible deny ability .The FBI & CIA could then say “I know Nothing” and they would not be violating USA LAW ..technically .However I dont see how the CIA and FBI would NOT know the British were hired by Obama to spy on Trump.Were the CIA and FBI so incompetent they wouldent know Obama had hired them ..the British ! Thats not believable and if it were true they should be fired for incompetency . Obama clearly violated US LAW ! LOCK HIM UP ! It was a SCAM just to give them Plausable deny ability .
They all knew …
Everybody–including the U.N. hates Israel…only if they would stop oppressing the poor palestinians…Since the founding of the state, the Israelis have been begging–IN PUBLIC FORUMS–for peace with their neighbors and only got war and terror in return.–the world has conveniently forgot that–in Orwellian fashion–they have made the Jooz the aggressors…Sadat tried peace and got gunned down by extremist vermin for his efforts–if the A-rab states had partnered with the JooZ from the git go, the whole region would be the happiest and most prosperous on earth.
Intel Corp. plans to buy Israel’s Mobileye NV for about $15 billion, its second-biggest acquisition and an expensive attempt to leapfrog rivals such as Qualcomm in technology for self-driving cars.
The U.S. chipmaker will pay $63.54 per share in cash for Jerusalem-based Mobileye, according to a statement Monday from both companies. The offer is a 34 percent premium to Mobileye’s closing price on Friday. The shares surged 30 percent to $61.31 at 10:48 a.m. in New York.
Intel is trying to accelerate a push into what many chip companies view as the next big opportunity: self-driving cars and the data they generate. With Mobileye, Intel gains the ability to offer automakers a larger package of all of the components they will need as vehicles become autonomous. The Santa Clara, California-based company estimates the market for vehicle systems, data and services will be worth as much as $70 billion by 2030.
“They’re paying a huge premium in order to catch up, to get into the front of the line, rather than attempt to build from scratch,” said Mike Ramsey, an analyst with technology researcher Gartner.
re your…”PM stocks way out performing the phiz today. I good sign I think.”
Agreed, a very good sign. Maybe the futures players seeing the shares rising, will get bullish on the long contracts. On top of that, lets not forget the electronic “market” makers that seem to drive prices much higher and much lower on every zig zag.
But I know the routine now–when ya rush in an pick a bottom, it’s seldom up, up and away–the day of the buy usually looks very tentative with up and down action before lift-off.
Friday I chickened out with my JNUG with a 4% gain, and then watched it climb to 14% by day’s end. Grrrr!
This morning I jumped back in and just sold JNUG with a 12% gain. Will probably go to +30% before day is through. But a much better trade for me to start the week.
The way I am reading the action in the PM stocks is that folks are itching to get back in after the past few down weeks. It smells like a bottom, it feels like a bottom….I just hope the Fed rate increase don’t knock the wind from under our wings. PM stocks way out performing the phiz today. I good sign I think.
Perhaps the Ides of March means a rough time for banks, and a lift off for gold? Nothing is ‘normal’ anymore. 🙂
Quite a difference between the performance of the majors and the juniors today. Beyond the easier manipulation of the big boys I wonder if the juniors are benefitting from public buying, while it’s hard for the hedge funds etc to enter and exit the little stocks.
PS Nice to see some follow through from Friday!
Yeah, GDX is just too easy to manipulate. The bots can choose to keep it down by doing a number on NEM or GG, and those games go on all day long.
Not sure what is going on with the juniors today but JNUG is up on some really heavy volume while some of the large cap miners are doing nothing.
it says the /DX can’t be found. I wish it were true. I’d love to wake up someday and watch people go round
Nice to be concentrated in the smaller and intermediate shares which aren’t in the GDX. Doing a *ell of a lot better than that index!
I’m surprised none of you silver bugs never mentioned SIL. Just one ticker and you buy a nice group of silver miners. Besides that its up 100% from the Jan 2016 bottom. In August ’16 it was up 215%.

Darn right! We seem to live in a world with more lies than truth. When times get tough you just know those lefties in Ecuador will be grabbing for more. IMO
“They couldn’t figure out why Kinross left” LOL
yeah, some really good moves in some of the juniors, MUX, Kirkland Lake.
Not sure why but it beats the alternative.
scum selling everything @ 22.00 in GDX…yup the seller is still there, Plus they have Nem under the cosh.
The games continue. here we go again trying 22.00 lets see.
This morning about 4 AM I was inspired or prompted to do that and it fell open to Isaiah Chapter 13. I read from there through Chapter 15 and felt like I was getting a direct message from God about the times in which we live and the future we face due to our own corruption. Couldn’t be more appropriate or clear!!
Give it a read. It’ll knock your socks off!!
