Sort of what I was getting to, but more than just semantics. I think there's a generally different viewpoint that most Americans possess that most non-Americans don't quite grasp, or grasp and think is wrong/crazy, whatever.

I think I understood your point. I didn't mean that you were comparing him to Canadian politicians. But your personal view may be a good deal more left than that of the average American (which is a result of you living in Canada and the political/cultural aspect of life there, perhaps). As...

Well, here it would seem, lies a difference in belief from your perspective as a Canadian and many Americans. Perhaps to a Canadian, he IS centrist. I don't know. And this is by no means a knock on you, the fact that you are Canadian or Canada itself. I swear. I just think this is the...

Hey fkbsuhites... This is quite a thread you've got going. It's seeping with anger and venom. Tell me, if you would, who did you vote for in the last election?

If you're talking about health care, then he should have curbed Pelosi a bit with her extreme left push. I've got news for you (or maybe you realize this, I don't know) but the people of the United States are not left. They're not right either, but they lean to conservative values. I don't...

WHOOOOSH! And there we go!

Unfortunately, many of us living here do not. While I voted for Obama, I did so with the belief that he would bring about "change". Thus far, with the notable exception of a Health Care bill that is poorly designed, badly thought through and had to be shoved through the House and Senate in a...

AUD, no question. It's directly linked to growth in China. Buy it against the Euro, and the USD. In other news, I hope everyone bought the opening dip, because algos are warming up!

Got em, thanks.

Many of those weighted items are produce, which are based on commodity pricing. I'm surprised they (Walmart) didn't say that. It's difficult to cut prices on tomatoes or corn. Market sets price. But you sure can cut pudding, ice cream and potato chips.

Smaller sizes are definitely in the mix, as corporations cut sizes. We're looking at trimming ounces to keep margins where they need to be. But companies are done laying off people. They're not going to HIRE any more, which I think is the real problem, because they're learning how to live and...

And when might that miraculous event come to pass? :)

What a fantastic post!

You said all that. I certainly didn't. I merely asked why it was so interesting to debate US politics when one was not American. I got some nice answers. That's pretty much it. So I'm not sure what traps you're referring to, or what else you're reading into this, but I assure you, it was...

This is an excellent response. I may not agree with all of it, but it is an excellent answer nonetheless.

Ricter has no reason to lie about any of this.

Marginally, I suppose. But not nearly enough to log on to some site related to that news and debate it. I read periodicals that are relevant to the trades I make because it's worth it to do so to be informed. I do not care to debate it. I wonder how many of them are as verbally violent as...

There are many odd threads here on this site. Surely you cannot possibly think this is the most odd! The fact that I am a moderator doesn't mean I can't have interesting or curious thoughts/ideas and post about them. I am human as much as any poster on here :) But that I am a moderator does...

The search function in your top right corner can search by username or by word/phrase.

Fortunately, the Fed at this point is correct. I work in the CPG industry. We make over 50 brands you find in your local grocery store. I am in industry peer groups that discuss prices, margin squeezing, costs, etc. We're seeing dis inflationary pressures from retailers. They are...
