Dijsselbloem’s comments regarding the Southern Europe reflect the political bias – not the general public at large within Europe. There are different cultures throughout Europe. In some places people will not cross the street until a light changes even if there are no cars. Other parts are like New York, lights are optional. There are […]
QUESTION: Hi Marty, A couple of questions please. When the Feds raised the rates last week why did the dollar mover lower? Also, with the trend change coming in May should we be out of the market? If so how long? Thank you S ANSWER: The Fed raised rates as expected, but that same day […]
Jeroen Dijsselbloem, Eurogroup President, has launched a storm of indignation as he insults half of Europe, illustrating the clash between the North and South. Dijsselbloem said of Southern Europe: “I can not spend all my money on liquor and women and then ask for your support.” This is how far politicians are disconnected from reality.

John McCain was born in Panama, not the United States. There was the same question with Obama – was McCain really qualified to run for President if he was not born in the United States. He confirms his birthplace on this propaganda message he made for his captures. They criticized Trump for saying he does […]

Likewise, the AfD in Germany […]
In Canada, I was in a discussion with a socialist politician. I was shocked at the response to their view of the economy that everything you earned belonged to the state and they decided how much you were allowed to keep.
