Because the McDonalds "study" was done with a predetermined outcome - that ALL mcdonalds have enough profit to raise wages. But the study was done at company owned McDonalds, which is different model from franchises (which is the vast majority of McDonalds). Statistics can be very creative.

No I did read the article. Problem is those things are usually designed to be ambiguous. I remember reading a long article "proving" that all McDonalds are really making tons of money.i Only problem was they were citing numbers from a company owned McDonald's, but not Franchise store. Big...

$USD topped (so far) Sept 28.

Inflation type stocks have been doing well. E.g. food stocks, grains,etc. What level in interest rates would you say is too high. That you would not buy food for yourself ? Thoughtful answers sought.

They want to weaponize MMT. In other words, if we are going to mail checks to everybody ( esp people claiming dependants, maybe just make sure they have some dependents)

Wow, you are really warped, (and likely mentally challenged). And I'd guess your trading isn't so great either.

That's an excellent observation Mr/Ms. Innervoice. The market is experiencing a large mega-trend change. From High tech to Natural Resources. It is a paradigm shift. We had the same move (reverse) in the 1970s into 1982. It's the Cathy Wood melt down. Many traders are probably so confused, the...

I see diesel fuel by me has stayed stubbornly high, currently $5.85/gal. If we really do run out of diesel (or any other form of energy) would you say that is because of our "restrictive immigration ??" And if we are experiencing painfully high energy prices, the obvious solution will be to...

Chinese are everywhere.

Well, they are just going to have to figure out a way to get energy. Not like this is any kind of surprise. Politicians throw so much BS around, no point in slicing/dicing. Just see what happens.

You forgot to mention the vague talk of a nuclear exchange. That is really nasty stuff, just to discuss. Reagan took it off the table almost 40 years ago. Now it's back on. No idea why. There was a made for TV movie in early 1980s. "The Day After" , Jason Robard It's about NUKEs hitting the U.S...

Good traders are magnanimous (almost always) Seems you have a trading problem (You are not magnanimous) Do you want to talk about it?

Really. I thought they are all reverting to burning firewood. But whatever. All the he-said-she-said will stop within 3 or 4 months. At which time, the EU citizens can reflect on living in the dark and in the cold. The old fashioned way. Or they can get friendly with the Russians. Seems they...

Have to add what the OP is talking about is commonly know as "Revenge Trading". It is real. So, the OP is not aware that he didn't discover something new. And any good trading book should cover it. I have most of the Jack Schwager books here. It's probably mentioned in most of them, different...

Well, maybe the population is aligned with the political leaders of their countries as poorly as American citiizens are aligned with our political leaders. (Which is like - not at all.) This is how democracies die. What's the approval rating for Joe Biden, or the average Wash Pol?

Expansionism ? There are many people who compare Russia's problem (with NATO misssiles on its border) to the U.S. Cuban Missile Crisis, 60 years ago. President Kennedy decided that Russian Nuclear could not be stationed 90 miles from the U.S. coast. Same as Putin is complaining (with U.N...

Are you trying to totally self destruct ? You are unprofitable in your current trading, and you think the problem is that you have no leverage ? Go ahead and ask the Margin Clerk where your stocks are for margin buying power. If that person says no, there's a good reason for that. And try to...

This is where paradigm shift happens, as few people are paying attention. Just as the fortunes of Cathy Wood have crashed and burned, the world economy is shifting from a focus on tech development, into a mad dash for raw materials, to make things. Ordinary things. Fuel to put in your car. Or...

The CCP doesn't even have to get involved. U.S. FED policy (along with the Treasury) is to 1) kill inflation by starting driving rates up 2) at the same time, continue to Monetize the Debt WTF What could go wrong? In case your dance card is not yet full, we can throw in the threat of Global...

You can buy Corn futures, if you have access. Or you can just buy the ETF tracker - CORN
