Let me just say...this isn't doing my stock picks any favors. RDS-B tanked today (bit of a pun wasn't intended) because they sell Saudi Oil. And the Red Sea needs to hook up with the Med for the oil to get to market. A good sized portion of the Canal is in the middle of the desert. I have no...

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/25/suez-canal-blockage-is-delaying-an-estimated-400-million-an-hour-in-goods.html Gonna be a minute or two before this is over.

Just in case someone wanted to see more about PRC sentiment lately.... Chinese social-media users burn their Nikes after the company says it's 'concerned' about forced labor of Uyghurs in Xinjiang It ain't good out there.

If I lived in Europe I would definitely run to fill the car's tank with Petrol.

Egypt's Suez Canal blocked by huge container ship This news piece has a map approximating the backlog....51 ships per day... This is a disaster...a big big disaster.

It very well could. Currently there's a shooting war with India over their western Border...then Myanmar area has always been trouble. (Longest civil war in world history) Then they have issues with both Hong Kong and Taiwan. Let's not forget that Russia is also their largest neighbor...that...

They apparently just wanted cash and drugs... Praise God they didn't keep everything. According to statistics a purse usually contains around $2-4,000 or more worth of goods and money. Then the identification is also an issue. Between cell phones, cash cards, cash, and medicines a purse is...

A gold loan is a secured loan based on the gold you have used as collateral for the loan. It's a type of revolving debt (credit card) but secured so the interest rate is lower. Problem is that 7-12% interest is the norm with these types of loans. These used to be considered predatory lenders...

Anybody who started trading since the election ended has made great gains. The market's latest downturn in October was fairly severe...but the one centered on March 5 was bad too. Problem is that I'm not really sure that the Market has recovered from that last dip like everyone claims it has...

Well considering that everyone is currently angry with Beijing's behavior... including their own citizens...I'm thinking that this won't last too long.

Currently there's a push for "sustainable company" investing... IDC about it...I already had a moral code for what companies I invest in and those I refuse to. I haven't put one dime into marijuana, guns, or gambling companies and don't plan on it in the future. There's plenty of places to go...

Well... today was another rough day... Market started up...grew higher and then promptly tanked. China related stocks are especially vulnerable and volatile lately. If a company depends upon PRC materials or sales in PRC then I would avoid it. I'm not racist, there's a trade war currently...

Yes.

Uggghhhh... On Wall Street every Chinese related company has tanked hard this past week. New regulations, Beijing's criminal and anti-monopoly investigations. I smell a concerted effort because of the trade war. Our steel exports are in the dumpster. Then there's been some blatant...

What conflict of interest? I'm stating facts. Google up which countries are planning on hiring more workers. USA tops the list. I'm not saying that OZ is leaving the pandemic without blemish. Everyone has been harmed to some degree. But you have available workforce that is in good condition...

It's not beyond the realm of possibility that a PRC operative deliberately sabotaged the ship at a crucial moment. China and the World (except for the USA's enemies) are having a cold war and a trade war at the moment. China deliberately blocking one of the World's busiest canals is highly...

Yes, that famous canal that Egypt and Israel fought over for years has been blocked by the Chinese. The world's largest container ship lost power in a windstorm and has blocked the thing by running aground...bulldozers are hard at work trying to repair the levey. Tugboats tugging... Hundreds of...

The Odds of being harmed by the vaccine are 1 in 500,000. The odds of being harmed by the virus are 1 in 4. The chances of being influenced by people claiming that a harmless vaccine will kill them is real...its called a placebo effect.

Oh really....you keep shouting at how hungry you are outside a soup kitchen and you think that no one is going to feed you? REALLY?....now I know that you really aren't that stupid. You keep repeating that these vaccines are going to kill people and then others believe you and the placebo...

Calling @Miss Hepburn ... You hit a button and I couldn't reply. It's been a minute since we last talked. I love those stained glass windows...hit that button and we can chat for a minute.
