@future42org Total lack of understanding of how these markets work - people will just making their ingot buys across the border or start using GLD in their brokerage accounts instead of holding the hard asset. Just reduces the employment in the mainly small businesses that sell gold/silver.
@TripleNetInvest I agree and the uncertainty and arbitrary nature of the current tarfiff regime is cratering the stock market (rightly so - it is a risk premium as well as the reduced value of future cash flows). And blaming the Fed for a self-induced problem doesn't help either!!
@flySEA It is amazing how a 20 or 30 minute queue can build up but it can stay at 20 or 30 minutes all day. This means the rate of clearing can match the rate of passenger departures - so why let the queue build up in the first place? Just so TSA pre fees can be marketed?
@elonmusk Ture - It would be really nice if government budgets and government interest rate decisions took a back seat to growth in the real economy - get government out of our lives and let the real economy flourish!
@NateSilver538 That a weird argument - doesn't 'waking daylight' depend on what time you get up in the morning? Those that want more or less daylight would adjust their schedule (perhaps even by say 30 minutes instead of an hour) I would assume?
@LHSummers@federalreserve We need to stop undermining the independence of the Federal Reserve and the judiciary - our system of checks and balances is designed to take the politics out of long term decision-making and maintain stability of our democracy.
@elonmusk go figure - massive fiscal deficits with their normal effect on interest rates temporarily masked by "quantitative easing" created an unprecedented increase in money supply chasing a finite supply of goods, services, and assets
@elonmusk Classic lean design evolution = reduce # parts and quantity of materials used, improve material and internal process flow, reduce complexity, eliminate potential points of failure, simplify assembly and maintenance
@TuckerCarlson Would so much love to see a modern version of "Crossfire". Legitimate debate with inquisitive but neutral moderation - sorely needed to counter the echo chambers!
(2/4)β¦who launched motor life boats from STA Cape Disappointment, the air crews arrived on scene to find the vessel floundering in the surf! The surf made rescue by boat dangerous, so the aircrew decided to lower the rescue swimmer and have the owner enter the water for rescueβ¦
@elonmusk Agree! Can learn more from real honest back-and-forth discussion of issues than 'posterboard' positions with only 'likes' from respective cheerleaders...
