The Israelites Connections of the Brahmanic Hinduism and the Ideological Crisis of the BJP and RSS in the Indian Politics / Politics / Religion
By: Dr_R_M_Mathew
Had Adolf Hitler been alive, he would have been shocked to know the Jewish or the Israelite connections of the Aryan ideology and Brahmanic Hinduism of India, now propagated and practiced by the RSS and the BJP Government in India. They include cow worshipping, the ban on cow slaughtering and killing beef eaters and those who oppose the RSS ideology besides, reintroduction of the Vedic Practices and projecting the epic heroes as the symbol of the Indian nationalism.

Stocks Bull Market Printing Press / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Gary_Savage
Amazing what can be created with a printing press. They will need to turn the presses back on if they want it to continue higher. I do think they want it higher, and I do think they have turned the presses back on.

Volkswagen and China: A Perfect Fit / Politics / China
By: Raul_I_Meijer
If Angela Merkel wants to get rid of one of her major headaches, we suggest she should tell Volkswagen to move its operations from Wolfsburg to China. It may seem a strange thing to do at first blush, with 750,000 German jobs on the line, but bear with us here, because this could well be the only way to preserve at least some value for VW’s stock- and bondholders.

Obamacare - The Gift That Keeps On Taking / Politics / US Politics
By: James_Quinn
Isn't it interesting the mainstream media makes barely a peep about the ongoing and worsening Obamacare debacle. Healthcare premiums, co-pays and deductibles are soaring, while doctor and plan choices contract to a minuscule level. Recent surveys reveal the hardship being inflicted upon families across the nation. Those who are willfully baffled by the lack of consumer spending need look no further than Obamacare and its impact on the budgets of hard working Americans.

Stock Market 6-7% Pull Back Likely, Gold Still Going Down / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Brad_Gudgeon
The stock market's recent advance has been nothing less than spectacular. Caveat emptor: the rally was mainly in the large cap stocks. The FED's determination to raise interest rates in December is predicated on the upcoming economic data. One of the most important releases comes out on November 6th, the jobs report.

Stock Market Dow Set to Defy Naysayers and Trend Higher / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Sol_Palha
Being ignorant is not so much a shame as being unwilling to learn. - Benjamin Franklin
Fear sells, and like misery it demands company. The so-called crash in August triggered dozens of hibernating bears to emerge from the woodwork. Rested from the last severe beating they took, they are ready for another healthy dose of pain. In their quest to push the fear factor a notch higher, celebrity perma-bears such as David Tice are brought out confirm that all is not well. If the markets were destined to sink into the gutter, David Tice would not have sold his Prudent Bear fund at the peak of the 2008-2009 financial crisis.

Crude Oil Price More Weakness In Sight / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Gregor_Horvat
Crude oil has turned up in September when price broke out of a triangle placed in wave (b) so wave (c) was final with wave 4 pullback that reached 50.50 resistance from where sell-off occurred in October. As such, we suspect that WTI made a new swing now that will send price down into wave 5 back to 37.70. Broken corrective channel also suggests more weakness ahead,but after wave (ii) is complete.

Earnings - Pulling Out All the Stops / Personal_Finance / Wages
By: John_Mauldin
By Jared Dillian
When I was a teenager, I had a different sort of part-time job. I was a church organist.
Actually, it was the best job ever because I was something of a piano prodigy as a child. Around age 12, my parents and I had to make a conscious decision about whether I was going to pursue a career in music. I decided not to, which has greatly reduced the amount of Ramen noodles I have eaten over the years.

5 Killer Methods for Financing Your Online Business / Personal_Finance / SME
By: Boris_Dzhingarov
You’ve reached the tipping point. A product idea has transformed from prototype to sellable item, and you’ve sat down with a business partner to discuss your strategy for marketing, selling and producing the products in order to start making money.
The big question is: How are you going to get the startup capital to purchase that first batch? How about paying for the eCommerce website or at least founding your payment gateway?

The Bank of England Keeps Interest Rates at 321-Year Lows / Interest-Rates / UK Interest Rates
By: Mario_Innecco
We hear constantly from the U.K. government and mainstream publications like the Financial Times that the economy of Great Britain is recovering strongly and that the labour market is robust so it is probably surprising for many people that in spite of the strong growth in the U.K. economy that the Bank of England has kept its base rate at 0.5%. This almost zero interest rate has been kept since March 5th, 2009 when the MPC or Monetary Policy Committee cut the base rate from 1% to 0.5% and at the time it was understandable as the U.K. financial system was on the brink of a total meltdown and the U.K. government had to write a cheque and issue loan guarantees for £500 billion to bail out the big banks.

Government - The Most Devious Liars In The Room / Politics / US Politics
By: James_Quinn
There were a few different stories coming out over the last few days that reveal the true nature of government and the apparatchiks who use disinformation, devious machinations, fraudulent accounting, and taxpayer money to cover up their criminality, lies, and the true state of the American economy. The use of government accounting tricks to obscure the truth about our dire financial straits is designed to keep the masses sedated and confused.
A few weeks ago, to great fanfare from the fawning faux journalists who never question any Washington D.C. propaganda, they announced the lowest annual deficit of Obama's reign of error.

Day Follows Night : Gold Follows US Bonds / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Dan_Norcini
For the same reason as the Euro was sharply lower today, so was gold, namely, a hawkish Yellen testimony in which see used the words, "living possibility" when referring to a potential December rate hike.
With interest rates moving higher on the Ten Year Treasury once more today, ( at 2.23% as I type this), gold simply cannot compete with better returns on interest bearing assets such as notes and bonds as it casts off no yield whatsoever and depends completely on capital gains to produce any sort of increase for its owners.

Stock Market Overbought Daily Charts...Monthly's Awful...Short Term Still Ok.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Jack_Steiman
There's a nasty combination out there that says things won't be all that easy for a while, but still nothing in the moment that says the bad-news bear is about to get rocking. I still think that's a bit out there, although not too far out there. The daily index charts hit 70 RSI for a few days. Fortunately, they didn't get too overbought, thus, some selling makes sense at some point soon.
