    Life in Venezuela

    Nothing is going to improve in Venezuela until they have a regime change. And return the business cycle and social standards to the way it existed before Chavez screwed everything up. Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world and they have had to import oil from the U.S. recently...

    Let's talk about futures

    Yeah, that was unfortunate. His son and grandson committed suicide as well. I wonder if there is any kind of genetic link or if people in trouble just think....My granddad did it as well as my father, I guess it's ok. But he lived a full life. 100M dollars the day the stock market crashed in...

    Life in Venezuela

    It could happen. Remember when the govt. (Obama) 'bailed out' GM and Chrysler before they went bankrupt and then owned a significant portion of them? They shut down 600 or so Chrysler dealerships. An outrageous percentage of the owners chosen to shut down were registered...

    Life in Venezuela

    Yeah, and the U.S. is usually found in every excuse they give. It's always our fault.

    Life in Venezuela

    The best part of this story is the video at the end. The Venezuelan govt. will give needy people a bag of food that would cost $10 in the states and it is suppose to last a month. But they only give it to you after someone comes to your house and counts the number of people in the house...

    70 points down gap in the ES....

    Do Circuit breakers start at the open or after trading starts? If it is down 700 points at the start and hits the 7 percent .......does that mean they stop it for 15m at the open or do they adjust it from the opening price? It doesn't make sense that if it dropped 700 overnight to stop trading...

    70 points down gap in the ES....

    Low oil prices have meant thousands of people in Texas and Oklahoma are out of a job. I think there are only about 400 oil wells active today and 2,3 years ago there were 2500. I don't want to pay 4 bucks for gas but I don't want 10k guys out of a job either. Besides, 4 dollar gas just means...

    Texas traders

    Yeah, I live in Arlington. Home of the Cowboys and Texas Rangers. I sure hope Romo does better this year. He's a good quarterback, when he is healthy....lol.... I have been here since 2003 and every year they talk about 'this being the year for the Superbowl'. And every year there is...

    How Chinese Economy Impacts Canada?

    I think you might want to check your facts again. Canada exports about 400BN to the US and 20BN to China. If I recall, about 2/3 or 3/4 of all exports from Canada go to the U.S. The growth of exports to China might be growing the fastest but when you start from 0 or 1, it's easy to double...

    Texas traders

    Be careful. Two weeks ago, Houston had 20 inches of rain in one day and there was flooding everywhere. There was a man on tv that said he lived 7 miles from the Brazos River and his home was under 4 feet of water. He said he never had any idea flooding would travel that far. I would have to...

    Even the Pope sides with Futurecurrents

    I know this may sound like a stupid question. But do they have catalytic converters on airplanes? Planes use jet fuel, which is only a higher grade of diesel fuel. They have catalytic converters on cars and recently required them on tractor trailers. Can they put them on planes too? So...

    Would they do a graphic like this on Hillary?

    I don't agree with everything Trump says and I wish he would filter his mouth. But I really can't stand Hillary. Either way we are screwed. 310MN people in this country and this is the best we can send to the White House ?

    $8BN Hedge Fund Failure

    I guess his guilty conscience got to him. I know he did wrong, but he still could have overcome his problems. ------ The hedge fund exec charged with insider trading last week has been found dead. Sanjay Valvani, a portfolio manager at Visium Asset Management who was charged with insider...

    Man who predicted 4 market crashes gives 3 more dates for this year

    You are probably right. But, I guess the acid test will be when the dates occur and we see what happens. He sounds like Peter Schiff. Schiff predicted the housing crisis of 2008. Now, he predicts a new crisis every week and suggests that the solution is to buy gold. Preferably from his...

    Man who predicted 4 market crashes gives 3 more dates for this year

    Edgar Cayce ? Not lately. He died in 1945. He was probably America's greatest psychic and the Father of the Holistic Health Movement. http://www.edgarcayce.org/are/ancient_mysteries.aspx?id=2071 http://www.edgarcayce.org/are/ancient_mysteries.aspx?id=1915...

    Man who predicted 4 market crashes gives 3 more dates for this year

    I bet Wednesday - Friday of this week will be busy with Britain voting on the Brexit. It looks like they are going to vote to leave.

    $8BN Hedge Fund Failure

    I never said he lost 8BN, but he is under investigation for a number of different infractions that go back to 2005. It's amazing that someone could get away with something for 11 years in an environment like Finance where everything is scrutinized. It also said the founder graduated medical...

    Man who predicted 4 market crashes gives 3 more dates for this year

    Edgar Cayce ? It's odd that he made a lot of money for people searching for oil and precious metals but when he invested in them, he failed.
