For him to have received 160TB of data on USB flash drives, that'd be 160 (more like 161)of those Kingston 1TB flash drives. Yeah you'd have to stuff those in SOMETHING because that's no small amount. Soccer ball makes sense. I tend to take these with a grain of salt, especially when random cities seem to be thrown in there. Reno? I mean, it's near the Bunny Ranch and Lake Tahoe. But that's about it.
Tragedy. Especially the children. Fucking idiot duck boat driver shouldn't have even been on the water. We had some VERY bad storms here in the Midwest yesterday. Specifically Iowa and Missouri.
That RV/GCR shit should not be a source posted here. It's about as credible as the used car salesman who told me my car had no open recalls on it (it had three).
A terabyte is a terabyte. There's no difference in how it's measured. There CAN'T BE.
It starts with a little nudge. That's how they all start. Some more overt than others. He isn't happy with the latest uptick in federal funds rate, let's just hope he escalates. Blow that fucking whole institution to smithereens.
She's in the part of the population who would have been civilly committed by a judge without batting an eye 60 years ago. She would have been left to rot in a state hospital.
This is a BIG ONE.
Yeah the American people don't understand that China is highly leveraged. Over-leveraged, actually, and that a trade war with them will NOT benefit China.
>I don’t buy this “immunity” bs concerning any Podesta.
I wanna see the immunity agreement before I make any judgment on the merits of the deal itself. It could only be binding in respect to FARA violations or whatever fuckery he was involved in with Manafort. That'd be the most narrow-scope immunity agreement. Again, waiting to read documents.
The PE ratios are astronomical. Anyone who invests based on technical analysis of equities would stay so fuckin far away from these equities. Amazon is trading at roughly 228 times its earnings. Wtf? And short interest in AMZN is increasing, indicating investors expect the price to drop. Netflix, 153 times its earnings. Google, 31 (which isn't terrible, but too high). Facebook, 34, still too high. All make me cringe but Amazon and Netflix makes me especially nervous.
He's the Hollywood version of Trump.
That could mean any number of things. It could be mildly restructured or a total overhaul, which would still affect structure but would completely change its role and how it functions.
When I hear "restructuring" in finance, I think "a lot of people are losing their jobs." I think of streamlining, trimming fat, etc.
Indeed, I am.
The total lack of accountability is the most disturbing part of it all. These men and women on the FOMC are totally out of touch with reality. They have no idea, nor do they care about the plight of the average American citizen. The whole FOMC needs to be dismantled.
What they're doing now is walking us into another real estate market meltdown. People are snatching up houses during the fucking open house because it won't be available after that, paying far above asking, then getting a zero down mortgage. Any parallels to the early 2000s and subsequent events?
I was gonna run FANGs through equity valuation models. I couldn't find a suitable model nor calculate a suitable and even remotely accurate growth rate. The shit is all over the place so the best can do is an average over a short time period. Remember, techs usually don't issue dividends. Their plowback ratio is 100%, every last penny goes back to R&D or whatever they want. Can't use a dividend discount model. Must use free cash flow.
How in the ever living fuck can someone think that a stock trading at 200+ times its earnings, that pays no dividends, is a "good deal" is beyond me.
Side note, I still hold some Boeing stock that I bought back in 2009 or so for $50/share. Lowest price I'd ever seen it. Now it's trading at over $350/share. I'd stand to make about a 500% return on that if I sell today. EVERYTHING is overvalued. I'm getting ready to get out of some volatile investments.
It does need to be taken over by the federal government. It's a great idea, IN THEORY, to have an independent central bank. Unless you have families like the Rothschilds seeking to dominate your entire country through its central bank, then sticking their hands in the cookie jar. Which is precisely what we have now. It's analogous to socialism. All that shit sounds great and all but in practice, FUCK THAT.
I'm always leery to give investment advice. The inherent problem with investing in precious metals (platinum, gold, silver, fuck some even buy copper) is that commodities are HIGHLY volatile. Hell, even crypto is incredibly volatile. I really don't know what a solid investment today would be, everything seems to be going off the rails in some way, shape, or form. See attached charts of 6 month gold and silver (1 troy ounce) price, goddamn rollercoaster.
I don't even work in finance anymore because of the soulless fucks I had to deal with on a daily basis. Couldn't take it anymore so I switched careers.
Guns are hit or miss. Gotta know what you're buying. Just like musical instruments. Buy a Glock 22 and that thing will depreciate. That's a promise. Older curio & relics, yeah, those are investments. Not some Soviet Mosin either (although those are GREAT rifles). M1 Garands seem to be great investments. Anyone who lives in a state that allows NFA Title II machine guns should buy a machine gun. The pre-86 ones are getting harder and harder to find, prices are spiking and will never go down unless full autos are legalized.
Price gets too high, they drive it down by shorting it. Price gets too low, they drive it back up. It's all a big shit show. This is why I got out of finance entirely. Specifically commercial banking. It's ALL artificial. Interest rates, value of the Dollar, the fuckin accounting rules, all of it made up.
That would be a prudent financial decision. It's volatile enough that you'll be able to watch it and basically day trade. Make a bit of return, then reenter the market when price drops to where you'd like to enter the market. I know plenty of people who lost the farm (one actually lost his family farm) on commodities, though. Be careful.
Sometimes I wonder where the tipping point is for debt. Specifically, where it is with respect to people deciding to repudiate, strategic default. What percentage of debtors (with student loans, mortgage, consumer credit, etc) strategically defaulting would cause the "system" to collapse.
Precisely. They're getting him on some rinky dink shit because they can't get him on anything bigger. But if you wanna take it in total context, considering what Capone was involved in, the implication here is that Manafort is guilty of far worse crimes and Mueller can't get him for any of it, so he's nailing him for small shit. I'm not sure if that's what POTUS meant, I doubt it but who knows.
It's because "Trump can do no right." Fuck, tell docs to dig their heads outta their asses. I've been using CBD derived from hemp to treat my anxiety and pain. Shit works, totally fuckin legal OTC, wish more docs would get on the "synthetic chemicals are really bad for you" bandwagon. This is coming from someone whose body was hooked on Norco for 5 years after having multiple surgeries. I detoxed myself. Never again.
Agreed. Should be a separate discussion independent of qresearch as it is such an expansive topic. At this point, all we can do is spitball ideas.
If they self-taper it, the withdrawal will not be very bad. That's what I did. Granted, I was on 5/325s for a few years but taking percocet for a couple years as well. I got myself down to 1.25mg then went cold turkey off. Felt like ass for a few days, now I'm great. It's all about willpower. Now, if I could only kick the nicotine. Working on that.
>People need to cut off Norco/Oxy if they are on it.
The majority, yes. But it does have its uses. When there is NO risk of addiction, as in the person is terminal, then I don't see any problem pumping em full of opiates. I had to watch my dad die of cancer. It took his body, owned it. The only thing that made him comfortable was morphine.
>It's just interesting comparing your compaign chair to someone (well known/mobster) like capone
That's what threw me for a loop. One does not typically compare a "friend" to a notorious mobster who killed thousands (maybe an overstatement, but a helluva lot), owned an entire city. Implication Manafort is guilty of worse crimes? We know (or believe) POTUS doesn't just "do random." Everything has meaning. So what the hell does this mean heh.
You break your leg, go to the ER, walk out an addict. I had a cyst removed from my spine a few years ago after I self-detoxed off Norco. Told them to not script me any pain meds. They asked why, I told them "Because that shit is the fucking devil. I'll eat the pain and spit it out before I take one of those evil white pills." Problem is that the efficacy decreases by quite a bit after a few days, tolerance built, requiring more and more hydro or oxycodone. Reaches the point of absurdity.
ObamaCare is responsible for the opioid epidemic. ObamaCare and Medicaid expansion. If practitioners don't adequately treat pain in the ER or if the patient just is butthurt because no pain killer script, they can get that practitioner's license suspended. So the practitioners write scripts out of fear. Not out of need.
