You do realize that was a river of LAVA I was talking about, yes? 🙂

That’s good but I bed they wouldn’t be doing that if they were winning or Hilary got elected. I wonder if the young are getting tired of war too. Not as bad as degenerate renegade ISIS though.
UK needs someone with a backbone.
Theresa May refuses to back Javid’s decision to allow death penalty for British jihadist.

interesting news from Vanguard, certainly hard to see them garner any new investment.
The scum has done a fantastic job of making anything pm a horrible investment for anyone even thinking of the possibility.
Truth is, maybe gold and silver as money is no longer viable. No doubt the generations below ours have no concept of real money, their gods are fiat and Bitcoin or electronic transactions. Talk about giving up freedom.

Re 16:12 & 16:34, it sounded to me like a bet (or push) for lower rates, and the loss would be huge if rates went up. In 10:05 it sounds like he’s still in the money even if rates go up less then expected? It sounds like official manipulation for lower rates to me.

The Aussie mkt has gone truly ape…I know of one person who has made over $ 450 million Aussie Dollars in the last 13 years and he is still in his early 30’s, building blocks of flats.

Re Eurodollar trade.
It looks like a massive bet that rates will not go up, more than expected, which is another way of saying the Rig will continue to rule.

I agree that I think Trump is trying to avoid war, but the deep state, Neocon’s and establishment feed off the war machine. That, in addition to pressure from Saudi Arabia and Israel.
I hope he’ll be able to avoid it. The people in this country are weary of war.

I think living in Russia will be a great success for the Boers headed there. A good time to leave and they won’t have to sleep behind concertina wire with one eye open.
One bad thing … they’ll have to learn Russian. 🙂
“I have been hearing a few rumors of some of the bigger players are beginning to move from stocks to commodities.”
I wouldn’t mind. We’re overdue and I need new shoes.
Gators aren’t so tough … I’ve seen Johnny Weissmuller vanquish 20 footers with only a paring knife!

I bet it’s easy to noodle Piranhas in Belize. Probably catch a lot of them all at once.
Ipso, May
For a little added excitement, maybe Ipso would like to noodle a few gators in the Mopan River in Belize.

The Boers in South Africa are an amazingly talented and resourceful group of people . The Russians have millions of acres of land on the Steppes that can be farmed by competent people. In 25 years, the Russians will own the wheat world market since it can be grown practically anywhere. Putin is hard at work to expand industry, mining, oil and agriculture in Russia. He has been very careful to exclude foreigners.
It’s the old story of beating swords into plow shares. Then again, the old joke about those that beat their swords in plow shares will plow for those that don’t.
I have been hearing a few rumors of some of the bigger players are beginning to move from stocks to commodities.
About that eurodollar thing, they trade like the old 90 and 180 day tbill contracts. A small move in short term rates will cause a big move in the eurodollar.

That sounds like more fun than noodling for water moccasins or snapping turtles like RNO is always trying to get me to do. 🙂

“What could be more fun?”
Noodling for Lava-Bombs? The river is only five miles away. 🙂

Looks interesting – at some point we should get a bounce
Maddog re “Mysterious” New Whale
part:
POSSIBILITIES: “The trader must have access to huge amounts of capital to sustain such a large position. If interest rates were to rise in any volatility-inducing manner (rise quickly – aka futures breaking), this player could be on the hook for HUGE money. We believe if 2-3 year interest rates rose 1.5-2%, this player would have losses in the billions, and capital requirements would skyrocket.”
Comment:
It sounds like a big bet on deflation if a speculator, or a manipulation plan by TPTB. Just a guess. 🙂
The longer the Rig runs, the worse the mkt distortions will become…such as this .

Well it could be worse. Bring your chainsaw out here for a visit. I’ve got a big log in the back yard that needs to be cut up and brought out! …and we only have little ‘fire ants’ that sting and itch and raise a welt for days. 🙂

It’s a perfect world!
Interesting about the central banks investing in other country’s stock markets. I know the Swiss have a big piece in the NYSE-NASDAQ. Not exactly a firm foundation for your country’s financial well being.
