see: post# 29 in the Economics forum thread "Ending the Deficit" started by Zdreg, May12, 2024. This will explain why we sell bonds.

If you want to know why we sell bonds, which creates only "Ersatz" debt, not real debt, read my posts in the economics forum. [post# 29 in the Economics forum thread "Ending the Deficit" started by Zdreg, May12, 2024]

The U.S. is a prime focus of external cyber attacks plus both internal and external social media disinformation campaigns. There can be no question about this. And now add Israel to the external disinformation threats! Israel's radical right government is not our friend. The sooner we come to...

It's amazing how a career fraudster who has been more or less constantly in court for involvement in civil law violations and has been ordered to pay millions in restitution to his victims would think it is a good idea to run for President of the United States. (Trump's been involved in over...

I'm going to do even better. I'm going to give you Maureen Dowd's opinion column in today's NYT: [This won't answer your questions, as would the CBS News article that SunTrader gave you a link to. In fact, accurate answers to your questions are literally all over the net, along with an equal...

The questions you've asked were answered for those who followed the trial. Biden and DOJ had nothing to do with this trial. The case was brought by Alvin Bragg, who is the Manhattan DA... It was strictly a New York affair. Thus the appeal will go to the State appellate court, not the Federal...

China could pay in dollars as they have large dollar reserves, and Putin would definitely prefer that. China, of course , prefers to pay in Renminbi, and they are in a position to dictate terms to Russia.

Here is a suggestion. Try Looking at the tick rate (# ticks per unit time, or number of bars at a set number of ticks that print per unit time) or the first derivative. Then look at what happens to this rate when the market makes a turn. (You may have to program this yourself. Usefulness may...

Yup.

Just calling your attention to this nonsense statement in your post: "...Trump still got 74 million votes and only lost by 42,000 votes." I'll let you figure out what's wrong with it.

You are trying to apply logic to the market even though you obviously understand it perfectly. That you understand the market was obvious when you wrote: "...irrationality has gotten so out of whack that it's peaking into the extremes and sooner or later the things are going to turn around."...

history of the Russian Rubble (A BRIC currency): source https://www.xe.com/currency/rub-russian-ruble/ The Ruble has been the currency of Russia for approximately 500 years; it has been used in various countries throughout its history. There have been different versions of the ruble due to...

Everything is completely normal when stock prices make no sense. Be concerned only when market prices seem rational. That is a sign something is very wrong. If you put shit in a blender and it turns into gold, be happy. Don't ask "why"?

Does Pring say anything about earnings? I believe that company earnings forming a peak is a harbinger of a likely recession to follow. Not all earnings peaks are followed by a recession but all recessions, so far as I am aware, have been preceded by an earnings peak. In other words recession...

Thank you. I hadn't bothered to try and look it up, but logic told me that was likely the case.

Winning in Vietnam following WWII was not an option for the French or the U.S. under either Presidents Johnson or Nixon, just as winning is now not an option for the Russians in Ukraine. It's just a matter of how much loss the Russians are willing to sustain before giving up. Often countries...

There are trillions of dollars of international transactions settled in dollars where the U.S. is not a party. This would not happen if there wasn't a reason. Every nation would prefer to settle transactions in the currency they can print. There is a reason this hasn't happened in any...

Excellent. I couldn't have said this any better.

Actually it doesn't have anything to do with consensus. It is driven by natural law beyond human control. Physical reality pays no attention to consensus whatsoever. We humans can be quite annoyed to find that no matter how convinced we are of something, nature and actual observation always...
