    The Bear is in charge

    The underlining fundamentals for the OP is solid. There doesn't seem to be any rate cuts still on the table. Infact..inflation looks to keep rising all through the summer. And Oil as well.

    Explain to me like a golden retriever why the market went up friday after strong job numbers?

    In reality, markets can still move well with the current interest rates (see 1993-2000). Interest rates do not have to be zero permanently. In fact, zero interest rates are what got us into this fiscal mess (greenspan introduced this twisted notion). God forbid, we start attempting to balance...

    Big Big Energy move

    Its not just greenies doing it to themselves. Big oil doesn't plan on going away quietly. So, they are playing hard ball during this very strategic election year.

    Price TA Identified The Top Before 500 Point Drop Yesterday..

    he seems to have called a Top in his subject line..lol In reality...different Fed members are "jaw boning" about caution of lowering rates too soon and causing sudden quick drops like this. It may get choppy for a month or two. The jaw boning probably necessary because the market is already...

    China rubber , tea and coffee growing region Yunnan suffering from drought

    I think he was eluding to the notion that water is becoming scarce..as per the OP's article .We are seeing breakout bull markets in commodities and that there is a possibility that water scarcity might be one of the reasons. China has a lot of people to feed and this is where water scarcity will...

Recently. they have altered the moderation and many of the posters whom would reply to a post quickly have either been banned or have left. The moderation has twisted reddit into a tool for a political...

    FTX Bankruptcy Trade Mints 200% Windfall and Sparks Legal Battle

    I am wondering myself whether the feds went so aggressively to seize Silk Road mainly for the bitcoin...particularly on the way the coins were handled after they seized the site. They obviously didn't do it to stop drug sales because drugs of all type have NEVER been easier to obtain (many...

    Reddit (RDDT) IPO this week (Wed/Thu)

    Yea.. going back to I guess 2008, I loved reddit. Most everything on there was stuff that had already been hidden/controlled/deleted on mainstream internet sites.

    FTX Bankruptcy Trade Mints 200% Windfall and Sparks Legal Battle

    I don't think it always works that way. When the FBI seized Silk Road...the US treasury appointed trustees and they pushed it into bankruptcy quickly. But the Bitcoin was held by the trustees/treasury for a very long time. Usually...when the principle recipients of a bankruptcy are retail or...
