    Microchips Under the Skin

    That's just it...they aren't going to do it. You have to have a method that has a better than 2% success rate of working. Aren't you listening? Have you ever heard of a "lead balloon"? That's the equivalent of the implantation of microchips. Implanted microchips don't work... never have and...

    Let's Talk About Socialism and Marxism

    Where this comes from is Richard Nixon...it's his fault... well the hippies as well as their lawyers. I can explain. When Nixon was president he decided that the government couldn't afford to keep people in the loony bin anymore. (Which were full of Bipolar people) They got turned out in...

    Let's Talk About Socialism and Marxism

    OK...but there is a limit to what this will do. You can't force someone to be a productive member of society or stop being a leech either...or even be a reasonable individual. And housing for the homeless is as dumb an idea as any made. Its been tried many times without success. But there's...

    Microchips Under the Skin

    The "mark" as stated in the scriptures is done using a hammer...the early Latin is very precise in this. Of course people like to conveniently forget this major detail...but it's a hammer that struck the coins...which is what this passage explicitly states. It's not done with tattoo ink...or a...

    Let's Talk About Socialism and Marxism

    Now what is known but generally not really believed is that America has tried both of these systems and all have failed spectacularly. In fact we have a national holiday celebrating it's failure and the leaving of socialism and adopting free market capitalism. You know it as Thanksgiving. When...

    Actually retail stocks are just now taking off....malls are reopening and mask mandates are falling away. I was thinking about jumping in. I bought into CCS back when the price was in the low 60's. And you can see what the price is now. It also pays a dividend so you can buy it and forget about...

    That's awesome! Just remember to take profits when you can get them.... As far as futures go...I've been playing coffee futures. It's every bit as complicated as mining/metals futures except for the added element of weather plus forex trading. Here in the USA we have an ETN that plays coffee...

    Generally speaking, if there's a problem with the liquidity of a stock...I usually don't trade it. Usually I have to go with market orders instead of limit orders on those stocks to get my money back out. If there's a large gap between the bid and the ask during regular business hours...that's...

    Price of a share of stock divided by the annual earnings per share. A stock that is $10 and has earnings per share of $2 has a P/E ratio of 5. Earnings are reported quarterly usually...so you usually get a quarterly earnings report of 0.50 per share....but it's the same as above.

    Let's Talk About Socialism and Marxism

    Well...a modern day look at the UK would be a good case study. They have been a democracy for a long time. Germany used to be a democracy for the longest time until they got "smart" and decided to become a marxist state. Now they are a democracy again and want nothing to do with Marxism. The...

    This is something that burns many investors... Learning when to take profits. When a stock begins to look weak after a runup...do you know what that looks like? Do you have a targeted price for exit? What do you do if the stock has risen a lot and seems to go down a little but still has...

    Here is one way to use a P/E ratio with the other public numbers of a publicly traded company. The P/E ratio is low for this company and to be honest and full disclosure I own shares of stock of this company he is discussing. (But I don't think that its a losing trade by any stretch of the...

    P/E ratio is the price of the stock divided by the earnings per share. Earnings are everything. Most disclose the EBIDTA (earnings before interest expense, taxes, and amortization depreciation) So we also look at "Free Cash Flow" (FCF) which is a more clear look at earnings after ALL...

    Coat or Garment of Many Colors

    The basics are of course plain and more easily understood...but when you are doing in depth studies and parsing hairs...such as interpreting the finer points of prophesy and gluing together prophesies... you have to have good hermeneutics and a better than average understanding of the cultures...

    Who Am I?

    Just came by to say that.

    Coat or Garment of Many Colors

    What I am saying is that these OT books and letters were written over 4,000 years ago in a vastly different culture than we have today. The nuances are going to be very different than what modern thought and flat reading provide. The inferences you have glued together don't belong together. That...

    And I thought that you were going to play that song by Casting Crowns...LOL...OK...carry on!

    What are you listening to right now?

    I've been listening to classic rock while working out in the gym lately...slices of those songs have been running through my head when I ain't paying attention. Some of them lyrics aren't exactly great to repeat on this forum. And the guys have all been hollering at me to return to work...I'm...

    Coat or Garment of Many Colors

    Generally speaking and not specifically most hero men are usually a prototype of some attribute of Jesus in the OT...Where Women are usually a prototype of the Bride of Christ... how her behaviors are typified is usually relevant to some issue in the future. Hebrew typology is usually highly...

    Bitcoin is in even more trouble lately as it keeps falling. And it keeps falling because it isn't legal tender. It's value is only if someone else considers it valuable. Legal tender is a medium of exchange that is mandated by law to be accepted for all debts public or private. It's kinda...
