If Trump's tariffs do turn the US into an isolated bubble economy then initially jobs will multiply. On the downside manufacturers will not have to compete so hard and prices will rise.

Capitalism is ALL about maximising profits whatever the cost to the workers. The capitalists squeeze as much work out of the fewest number of workers who have to work for the minimum wages. Hence the simmering discontent in America and the hatred of others.

Surely Trump is just reviving Mercantalism from the 19th century. The US is big enough to live in its own bubble and make anything it needs but at a higher cost. Smaller and poorer countries can't afford this luxury.

If there is no Hell then by the laws of physics perhaps there can be no heaven. Even the Irish are waking up to the religious con trick. Sooner or later the muslims will too.

Does the US still consider South America as its own backyard ? I see that China has already lent ( given ) $70 billion to Venezuela and now that Maduro is in China for a few days they are offering another $5 billion and technical aid. They could find that they have invested their money into a...

There are quite a lot of pointers one picks up on the journey, through the years in markets. I often say " I wish I knew that when I first started out. It would have saved me a lot of grief". Most people are on their own basically even in a room full of traders. So one has to reinvent the wheel...

In a broken economy there are big rewards to be made BUT the risks are high too. A nice house in Venezuela probably wouldn't cost too many dollars.

If YOU want to test if you have a direct line to your favourite God then I suggest you ask his/her advice before each trade and see if you do well.

Just an historical note. The US did to Europe's manufacturing etc. what China is now doing to the US. A robust system would start by lowering costs rather than putting on tariffs. The huge amounts pretty average management have been paid in recent years could be brought down to earth by big pay...

Tariffs are a clear admission of defeat in the rough world of competition. " boo hoo I am not playing anymore ". Hiding behind an economic wall.

If that is your vision of your future you must need cheering up and it won't come out of a bottle or a syringe.

Chavez was elected President but what a mistake to believe his lies.

According to an article I read recently the author expects the new anti aging pill to be in the market place by 2020. He said he had tested on his wife and reduced her biological age by 20 years. He expects humans to live to 150 years and it will cost no more than a cup of coffee.

Only you know your own comfort zone. Always stay within it.

Good ole buy low and sell high is an obvious one.

The forums are full of advice on trading but much of it is either misleading or even wrong. So what thinking back is the best advice that really got you onto the profitable road ?

■ Two theoretical physicists are lost at the top of a mountain. Theoretical physicist No 1 pulls out a map and peruses it for a while. Then he turns to theoretical physicist No 2 and says: "Hey, I've figured it out. I know where we are." "Where are we then?" "Do you see that mountain over...
