    Yeah... US Dollars are the currently that backs up Aussie dollars as reserve notes. As Biden's admin tries to devalue US dollars and strengthen foreign dollars. American goods get cheaper when exported. Foreign goods get more expensive in America. Then there's the whole "Tech Fear" going on...

    But I had to dump JVA shortly after I got it as I found out that it had a CBD beverage business it bought last year. And where many people don't have any conscience about that...I do. I was making money and set up to make lots more...but once I found out I immediately dumped it. Such a shame...

    Now I don't mind investing in companies where I don't like the people...I've worked next to a bunch of people I don't like...and have them work for me. And as long as they do their job I'm fine. But when they go against and are actively hostile to what I hold dearest...you are done. I have...

    Which brings me to another subject. Ethics in trading. I am looking to make a play in coffee. and I don't usually play with the contracts themselves as I do with companies who do. And there's a bunch of companies who deal in coffee...Of course Starbucks is one of those names. But I don't like...

    all metals are climbing as a hedge against inflation. Watch for an exceptional run up and then dump them....or just take some profits.

    The stock market is not for those faint of heart...and some saavy as to what is going to be popular and why. Energy is one of those things that is subject to supply. And it is a tricky play for those who wish to make gains. You can buy ETFs that are related to the energy sector. Again...do some...

    No...but I watch them as they relate to commodities that those nations produce. For example Australia has lots of mining...things like copper, gold and etc. Brazil's Real is important for things like coffee, cocoa, cotton, sugar and ethanol and steel production. Canadian dollars are important...

    So a bloodbath for the market yesterday after the Euro fell hard against the Dollar which rose sharply. In spite of the selloff... commodity based stocks did well. Mostly because their supply chain interruptions are easier to overcome and fewer in number. So since I play commodity based stocks...

    Waking up this morning...Euro is flat. AUD and NZD are up. GBP is up too... This really helps oil and gas. CND is flat....but lumber is so hot that it doesn't matter....it does help with oil offsetting the soon to be super hot prices. We got a good supply on hand so it's going to be flat for a...

    Pepe Le Pew Gets Cancelled

    No no no.... If you are famous you have to promote cancelling something everyone likes. (To be cutting edge, ahead of the curve thoughtful) Otherwise it's just a nobody who doesn't like something. Truth is most famous people (music and movie stars) don't have much in the way of common...

    Friday was even more Red... The lockdown is really hurting Europe and AstraZeneca's vaccine is still having issues. First it has side effects that were missed during trials. And it was a known side effect possibility. Something that they should have been watching for. But because their...

    Whorehouse

    The Church, God's chosen people, are often described as the "Bride of Christ" in metaphoric language. Consequently it is often referred to as an unfaithful bride or a harlot/prostitute when they do not behave appropriately. In other words a Christian struggles to remove sin from their...

    Evil times.......weighing things up

    Then there's the other thing... something that most people don't consider. There becomes a pattern. Especially when there is a consistent feed of bad news... calamity upon calamity. Where these calamities cause even more bad news. Where some people (unthinking and uncaring) go forward with even...

    Today was all about Europe. So it was a very down day. Europe is in a double dip recession. The dollar spiked on account of them. Which made commodities drop and commodity based stocks drop even more so. So I went red today and lost a lot of profits. After a red day yesterday too...I was...

    Thats because the Iron and steel that China, Japan, and others make out there is made with various ores mined in Brazil. They are leveling whole mountains...its kinda a weird look to see half a mountain mined and missing. But...they are having issues with people getting sick from Coronavirus...

    I'm much more of an equities type person than a bond person. And ETFs aren't a bad way to go...but if you expect to have any gains you have to get triple returns on broad sector or focus on a sector. Telecom has a sector ETF if you think that Telecom is going to go up in general...and when I...

    Is Being Late A Sin?

    You know it's wrong otherwise you wouldn't be asking. But sometimes it's unavoidable. But usually it's a sin of negligence.
