Is a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) a good idea for the USA?

Loading ...SEVERAL YEARS??? He’s uninformed, or kidding himself, or just a liar.
SHOULD BE>>>
Because weak retail because Importing MORE than exporting since 1962. Gov’t not enforcing minimum wage laws requiring inflation adjusted minimum wage and Soc Sec payments, Dept Of Labor constantly UNDER reporting the TRUE or real inflation rate. Lets not forget the liar media that “tells” everyone what the facts are.
And you can take THAT to the bank.
Merkel is a liability to peace with her aiding and abetting and giving them a way out and shelter as she vets no one. She lets them go back and forth to train. Just helping them drag it out, it’s a good thing she has no influence over our military or shes set them up to be killed.
She could care less of other economies, she just cares about herself and her image. That image is portraying a loser and giving the likes of ISIS which is no small threat but a big one full of trained killers, the illusion of the upper hand and ability to carry out threats. Now if global warming consisted of slowing the manufacturing of things in her economy like cars VWs maybe her attitude would change if you know what I mean. It’s all about them while we pay the bill for Mid East and take all the risks. Then say we’re getting weaker? Take a look in the mirror Merkel. Maybe Germanys surrender WW11 is still stewing inside them. Or maybe that’s what they will continue to do now, surrender. Who knows. They can have it. Send their German soldiers over there instead while we close shop and our borders and get out the popcorn. I don’t think they’re going to go along with their global warming considering they deal in oil. They talk about Russia who has done nothing to them or us. Theyre the weak ones and ISIS has been laughing at them for awhile. They remind me of buffalo, you can shoot one and the rest just stand there ready to get shot next.
In the USA situation the “president” is ALWAYS a buffer or a go between, between the workforce (citizens) and the boss. (shadow global powers) Like a union representative or forman in a factory versus the owner. And you can take that to the bank.
I’ve seen it too many times. The president gets in and soon after has to go with the prior flow. They do have some influence, but that’s about it. If Trump wants to regain prosperity for Americans, then its what the shadow gov’t wants and needs.
They are ALL pissing up a rope. They are not acting on causes, only acting against bad results of THEIR decisions, derived from THEIR wishful thinking and dreams. Anybody decades ago, that thought and dreamed and planned and adjusted things to create a “world that lives as one” “and no country to live or die for” “and no religion too” were a bunch of iron clad DIM WITS.
The Elite Globalists aint going down without a fight. At least Trump seems to see eye to eye with May/Brexit. I too wonder how Merkel gained or keeps power in Germany. Course, she did have Obama by her side recently to lend a hand of support. 🙂
Poor Obama, all his efforts to build and support his Radical Muslim Brotherhood seem endangerd at the present.
Go Trump !
Merkel clearly doesn’t like Trump and the feeling looks mutual. She was blasting Trump and May as soon as the G 7 was over, as people u can’t trust….she has rarely if ever been crossed, since she rose to power, why no-one knows, as she is clearly not that smart…eg Immigrants….
But whatever happened at G7 and so far we know nothing of it, Trump pissed her off big time and is continueing to do so via Tweets….
Trump Blasts Germany In First Tweet Of The Day

Good luck with that. Nothing much else going on today.
Good Point you made though about JDST/JNUG. No matter how you ‘cut’ the charts, they suck.
I sold my Jdst first thing this morning since it jumped 4% out of the gate. I turned around and booked some of those profits into more Jnug. Thinking with the dollar dropping, the markets looking shaky, we just might get a rebound in the PM’s. I doubt, but it could happen, if the miners respond to the rise in the metals. Least I doubt if the GDXJ turns green today. Even CDE and HL which have been good with the prices of silver up recently are still in the red at this moment. ???
With a little luck, maybe I can pick up a few bucks off the jnug before days end, making it a Two Fer. I hope I live long enough to see some Logic in these PM markets. Until then, pick up a little here, a little there, day by day.
Seems to want to leave eeos $17.35 behind. USD drifting lower again.
Too bad the shares don’t like higher metal prices.
Interesting charts of JNUG and JDUST. Logic would tell you that if one is doing badly then the other would do well. Looking at the charts you can see that both have done terribly. I guess that’s because they are two halves of a dodgy product, designed only to fleece investors. IMO
Minera Alamos Announces Strategic Partnership With Osisko Gold Royalties, Concurrent Private Placement and Corporate Update
Both inspired a day of Remembrance.
Our little town held a Ceremony on the Square and a huge number of folks were there to show their respect. Did the heart good.
I think perhaps that single thing that inspired me the most over the weekend was a trip to Home Depot on Saturday. I was there to pick up some flowers, herbs, and potting soil. Was in a hurry and getting a bit impatient standing in the check out lane. “Come on people ! Quit chatting with the pretty checkout gal and lets get this line moving !” I didn’t say it, but that’s what I was thinking!
In the check out lane next to me was a woman in a motorized wheelchair. ( Thank God I had not gotten in line behind her!) Waiting for her to get through the check out lane was going to be even slower. She got up to the cashier and handed the clerk a couple small items from her basket. Suddenly, she started getting out of her wheelchair. I say started, because she weighed something over 300 lbs, in her late 50’s or early 60’s I was guessing and obviously had a number of serious medical issues.
First, and this was no small effort on her part, she managed to get herself turned sideways. Slowly, as in take up another 30 seconds, she was able to put one foot on the ground. Another 30 seconds and her second foot touch down and she struggled to rise from her chair. Slowly, slowly, she stood up, and took two steps forward, away from the cashier who had already placed her items in a plastic bag and was waiting for payment. Where was she going??! What was she doing? After wasting all this time had she suddenly decided she di not want the items? You got to be kidding me !!
One more step, and then she bent down. Appeared more like she was falling down in slow motion. What was she doing??!! Oh my god, she is picking up something off the floor. I was about to blow a gasket and then has she slowly stood up again she was holding a small American Flag. With the greatest of loving care she gently dusted the dirt from the flag, and bent over one more time to return it to the orange 5 gallon bucket where it had fallen from. It was then I noticed the bucket was full of little American flags, and one had got knocked out onto the floor.
I felt stupid, I felt immensely and overwhelmingly foolish. I was so happy that I had kept my mouth shut the few seconds before. I wanted to applaud, to clap my hands, to say SOMETHING to her for her brave and arduous act of patriotism. I was too humbled, to shocked, to say or do anything. And for that I was ashamed. We both paid for our goods and exited the store. Her I’m sure with a feeling of pride. Myself, humbled and ashamed.
It set the tone for the rest of the Holiday Weekend for me. It kept before me, the purpose, the reason of why we ‘Remember’.
Would be nice to hear your ‘thinking man’s’ version vs my ‘gunslinger’ ways of trading these rascals. Nice to have you aboard the Oasis.
This old dawg is always up to learning a new trick. Started out, I was just looking for a way to stop the bleeding in the pm stock holdings. Never thought it these ETF’s would lead to actually producing monthly gains in the trading account. You present some interesting talking points and I hope to better fine tune my trading and knowledge of these things. Many Thanks !
Things are gonna get bad ! 🙂
Cant find anything in the wires that would suggest such a down draft in the PM’s this morning ? Only thought that comes to mind is the old saying, “Sell In May & Go Away”. If that is the case, the general markets should be in sell off mode today as well. Agree with you, this steep drop cannot be tied to the dollar. It has hardly moved. Least so much this far.
Someone decides to dump a bunch of contracts.
Not really USD strength. Just the same old crap.
Course after Friday’s share performance, I guess it’s totally predictable.
There’s no free riders. These funds were design to take idiots $$$$$$. Don’t think you can trade them and make real money. If you want to gamble, just go to a casino or play on a freeway

Hey Farmboy,
Thanks for your post. I’ve not traded JNUG or JDST as yet so I don’t know how they respond but your comments about the end of day adjustments sounds right on. I was thinking about trading them at the end of the day but perhaps the next day open would be better. I’m not a day trader so the time of day does not matter to me that much. I’ll forward test the strategy for a while but it seems there is considerable margin to play with due to the volatility.
In regards to your comment about 3X ETF’s, they are not all created equal. There are quite a number that would have been a superb buy and hold.
How ‘s 2000% gain over 7 years for a buy and hold 3X ETF?
After running the same performance chart of JNUG and JDST I can see there is something seriously wrong with both of these:
“We Have Told Each Other Everything” – Highlights From Macron’s First Meeting With Putin
Not as long as they got a bunch of idealistic patriot kids comming up to pull them in their wars too young to really know what’s going on or the lies they were told. I’m glad Trump mentioned equal pay to allies but should demand equal military. Let’s see how that works out with Merkel who thinks she’s entitled to our doing the fighting while she ” and Europe as a whole” worked to aid them. Maybe she would have a different opinion as well as Canada. Least the Brits gave Obama the finger and you know hes behind a lot of this including Canada’s PM colonozing so we have wars here too. If they say not their way fine not ours either which it isn’t anyways. We don’t need the oil or the unskilled labor. We have plenty from Mexico and far less trouble than the Muslims and their Shaira and lack of value in life in general. It’s been going on since before America was America or even France and Germany.
