The thing about going to cash or Treasury Bills, even when your timing is wrong, is that although opportunity for gain may be lost, at least your capital loss is nil if in Bills, or limited to inflation, if in cash. No decision is always better than a wrong decision. What I admire about...

As a direct means of fighting recessions, cutting interest rates is generally ineffective. There is a somewhat beneficial indirect "wealth effect" however, as the dollar weakens and the market rises. What is generally effective, however, is increased government spending and demand side tax cuts...

this is not correct. Witness accounts are partly what Grand Jury proceedings are about. These accounts are covered in detail in the Mueller report, but redacted. It is true that there are no cross examinations by defense attorneys. That occurs if an indictment results in a trial.

You reasoning is far to simplistic. You reasoning conflicts with Mueller's insistence that as a DOJ employee he is bound by DOJ guidelines. Do you think like millions of Americans, perhaps most, that Mueller should have ignored the DOJ guidelines. Have you considered that the legal reasoning...

If your not going to bother to read the report or pay attention, why should we read your posts?

That was just a summary that F. Foresight posted. There are elaborated details in the Mueller report, which is available on line. You should read it. You don't have to read the entire thing. There is a table of contents. You can pick and choose the topics that interest you most. There is...

the problem with under funded government pension plans is more political than actuarial. As part of the political problem, the move to privatize, by pushing defined contribution plans in preference to defined benefit, has been damaging via additional risk and higher costs.* The actuaries...

Did you do your peak "cuck" calculation in constant dollars.. If not i'm ignoring it. :D

nice. Thanks for the reference. I hadn't seen it.

you must do your calculations in constant dollars if you really want to know if this or that is at an all time high (or low). Nominal values mean nothing except perhaps as they relate to some insignificant time span relative to the present.

Please do let us know the source of your marvelous insight. It certainly can't be Donald Trump, who has already admitted that the Russians helped him get elected.

Without a doubt the greatest trader/speculator that ever lived is George Soros. His quantum fund returned to its investors an annualized average of over 30% for more than 30 years. He is also one of the world's most public intellectuals, and an important philanthropist. By 1995 he had...

I thought it was Hillary that got the nomination and lost? What am I missing here. Though I was no fan of Hillary's, I think you'd have to be pretty much of a fool to delude yourself into thinking she lost "fair and square" as you say. The facts suggest Hillary, with the complicity of her...

There are many highly competent and articulate candidates running. Way, way too soon to settle on who the nominee will be.

Evidence please, to prove your negative. :D https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/doj-surprises-with-omissions-in-response-to-flynn-document-order-60712005892

What's most important here is not who wins the White House, but who wins the House and Senate. Strong possibility of Democrats controlling both Houses come Jan 2021. Then the issue of whether Trump is re-elected is moot. If that happens, he's done regardless. Right now, the polls suggest he...

Of course you realize that a majority of U.S. citizens look on you folks as conspiracy nuts who have bought into Russian originated, disinformation posts on Facebook, twitter and youtube, hook line and sinker. Are we wrong or are you wrong? We can't both be right!

Limbaugh did not allow for the possibility that Barr was lying.

Right. We're as far apart on these issues as it is possible to be.

I understand, however I am no more impressed with the management of the Brick and Mortar stores then I am with Walmart.com. However my experience is essentially limited to Mississippi, and their stores here may very well be atypical of the rest of the country.
