October 21, 2018

https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Trump-protest.mp4   I myself encountered a woman who had protested against Trump in the big march in Washington after he was elected.

Market Talk- October 19, 2018

October 19, 2018

Another negative open today but fortunately was not to last! Although China’s GDP released lower than expected weekend book squaring and absolute levels helped revive values by the close, also helped by a little “authoritative” speech play . Growth came in at 6.5% YOY which was missed the 6.6% markets were looking for, but the […]

The Sovereign Debt Crisis in China among the provisional governments is alive and well.

October 18, 2018

A weak session for much of core Asia, with almost all markets falling from the opening. Sadly, it is China that leads the way adown again.

The price of Western Canadian Select (WCS) crude dropped more than US$55 per barrel BELOW North American benchmark of West Texas Crude. The widening discount is evidence the commodity is illustrating how the environmentalists are really destroying the Canada economy.

Will Elections ever be Valid Any More?

October 18, 2018
