    Fascinating Interview of a North Korean Defector

    I found this fascinating. It's long about 40 minutes.

    Russia & Ukraine

    Ha ha. Order some sarmale. That should take care of the problem and then some.

    Why Gas Got So Expensive?

    There is an important election coming up this November. Either you are losing your mental faculties or you are actually insane. That's unfortunate. No one in their right mind would post what you have. They would realize that it makes them look like a fool.

    Russia & Ukraine

    He may develop an unexplained nervous twitch. Or said more diplomatically in the words of the inimitable Donald John Trump, "He may have to go "through some things."

    This is the reason why the stock futures are going up?

    There seems to be a misunderstanding. Your remark: "Instead the US wants to use Ukraine as a drawn out proxy war with Russia for it's own ends." is what prompted my response. I am assuming now that you are proposing that the reason the U.S. (and NATO) is balking at providing NATO air support...

    Russia & Ukraine

    The most likely path to the end of this War is becoming more clear to me now. So long as China remains neutral, the Russian intelligentsia, the military and the people of Russia will end this war, and rather quickly. Who knows what excuses will be offered. Credit will rightfully belong to the...

    Billionaire George Soros' 7 Top Stock Picks in 2022

    There is only one. He was acquitted in France. Then years later retried by a new French Prosecutor on the same charge and was convicted. He appealed and lost on appeal. The details of this case are well known. It would appear he was the victim of a political prosecution.

    Billionaire George Soros' 7 Top Stock Picks in 2022

    It would be financial malpractice for his family firm not to do this. I would guess that Soros has given a very significantly larger portion of his wealth to philanthropic causes than just about any other billionaire alive (~80%). So the money he is legally saving on U.S. taxes is going to...

    Chicago just approved one of the US's largest basic-income pilots: $500 monthly payments for 5,000 p

    I think I might disagree with that once all the indirect costs are included. These programs create inefficiencies for the recipients as well as the government.

    Chicago just approved one of the US's largest basic-income pilots: $500 monthly payments for 5,000 p

    At 35K gross, it's ~20% more based on ~AGI. That's significant.

    Biden Fed nominee faces grilling over reparations and police reform

    Oh my god, here is a women who wants to ask questions and find out the answers, so we can make policy based on fact rather than politics. Let's not have that. It could mean the ruination of the GOP. We could characterize the GOP many ways, but none is more appropriate or revealing than, "A...

    Biden Fed nominee faces grilling over reparations and police reform

    But what if we evaluated how more intense and frequent climate disasters could harm the health of banks or ricochet through the financial system and found that these "climate disasters" were actually not more frequent than ??? What would be the harm in such a study? Has anyone made a...

    The GOP are fascists who hate our form of government (democracy)

    Yup, to be sure that's a fine group of states, but how did Alabama get left out? :D

    Study buddy for Al Brooks books

    I know that there are some who claim they made money using Jack's "method". His preaching was sometimes as entertaining as a gospel tent on a Saturday night. Odd that Jack was apparently never able to cash in on his own "brilliance." I had him pegged as a smart, sincere lunatic who was a danger...

    Lets go Brandon

    Most here at ET are aware of your ridiculous posts. They know I can speak for myself and don't need you as spokesman. To set the record strait, I have never maintained that Trump colluded with the Russians to win the 2016 election, even though he may have. Instead I have always maintained...

    The Demolition of Russia's Economy

    They left out the adjective "criminal". The phrase should read "...prominent criminal members of the global community." There is nothing new here as far as the law is concerned. . Criminals have always run the risk of having their assets impounded without due process, and those without access...

    I loved DeNiro's public remarks. I guess that makes me a "lefty". "Go DeNiro!", you rock!

    Study buddy for Al Brooks books

    I meant my comment not in the sense that Hershey's approach to the market was anything like Brooks, but in the sense that new traders often get hooked by those posing as market gurus. And Jack was a model guru. The problem was that Jack's description of the market moves were based on an...

    Why tf is Russia murdering innocent Ukrainian civilians?

    We didn't "deliberately" target civilians when Nixon decided to carpet bomb North Vietnam and extend the war into Laos, and then lie about it. Nixon dropped more ordinance on Indochina than the U.S. dropped on Germany in all of WWII. The civilians killed were "collateral" damage. Fortunately...
