From jan 2016 to jan 2018 (two years) there were two raises of 25 basis points each. That's very gradual; Than in 2018 there were two less gradual raises, one from 1 to 1.75 , and than a second, much later in the year, to 2.5. These were less gradual but well spaced out. The pace of hikes is...

This post becomes hilarious once it's realized that you earlier tried to invoke probability to argue against the NYT Opinion regarding which Party did a better job with the economy. Actually as I read your post above my giggling has become uncontrollable. I especially liked this: "and the...

Most people think the fed controls the economy, but that's not entirely true in the way most people believe it is. The fed sets monetary policy, mainly interest rates. That does affect the economy, but the fed's actions are in response to what's happening in the economy. So to say, "the fed...

I guess you didn't take into account that Great Britain was using commodity money at the time. Today Keynes and I would have no difficulty agreeing. I haven't encountered a single deceased person who disagrees with me. We no longer use commodity money, and for a very good reason -- we can't, nor...

Well now you've steeped in it. On this matter, I'm as much am Authority as Keynes! Why? Because we can both add and subtract. They total sum of outside money in the economy is equal to the penny to all the money spent into the economy over the years minus all the money taxed back out. If...

Its not the squeeze that produces the big profits, its driving a stock to zero on a company that does not have the resources to fight back! (Nobody will try to naked short Proctor and Gamble to zero!) This latest GME fiasco was an exception because the squeezers got the upper hand momentarily...

So it's the old naked shorting problem , eh. I thought the SEC had shut that down a number of years ago. Apparently not. Maybe the Biden SEC will finally do it. It's illegal, and thank goodness. But just because its illegal won't make it disappear if it isn't prosecuted, because it's very...

If you are planning to spend any time at all on St. John, don't forget to take a couple cases of mosquito repellent with you -- enough to bath your entire body in it.. Demand may have pushed price up if you wait until you arrive to buy it.

Believe me, if Trump had thought of it he would have freely launched that lie too. So when Trump told you he was so rich he would pay for his own campaign, did you believe him? Or better yet, if he had said he would contribute is entire salary, as President, to the Government, and then his...

Have you considered that his lack of logic and content together with the absurdity of his made-for-the-moment lies might outweigh his balls? I have never found much wisdom in the braying of a JACKASS. When the check for "The Wall" arrives from Mexico, however, I might reconsider.

Should I have said instead, "Because of the gullible, he was dangerous!"?

He was an entertainer. His allure was based on truthiness and alternate facts. He had a gift for making nonsense sound plausible. He was clever and inventive. And I suppose to the gullible he did pose a danger. He may have been the first to make a living from Truthiness before it was called...

sorry. I understand.

just in case anyone would like to know what happened and where AOC was during the insurrectionists assault on the capitol. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/04/technology/aoc-capitol-riots.html

It can't. Keynes and I disagree with you.

“Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.”

The market, once it becomes driven mainly by perception and emotion changes reality. The main reason the market goes up is because it is going up. That creates a "wealth effect". Everything that relates to equity valuation is re-evaluated higher, changing reality to correspond with the market...

This is very convincing. You are definitely not a lawyer.

You are so incredibly gullible. LMAO

And that explains your new found enthusiasm.
