Fourth Reich Invades Rafah Concentration Camp To Kill Palestinian Children / Politics / Palestine
By: N_Walayat
Israel's game plan from the orchestrated Oct 7th False Flag attack is to kill as many Palestinian children as they can so that they don't grow up to become Palestinian freedom fighters. and so having concentrated the civilian population in Gaza Israel's army is about to launch a full assault on the concentration camp to this end, all whilst perpetuating propaganda that they are the victims which is akin to the Nazi Germans propaganda that they were the victims at the hands of concentration inmates. History has come full circle as those who should never again are the ones doing it again, a Palestinian Holocaust at the hands of the Fourth Reich.

THE GLOBAL WARMING CLIMATE CHANGE MEGA-TREND IS THE INFLATION MEGA-TREND! / Politics / Climate Change
By: Nadeem_Walayat
I won't bore you with worthless academic models that started from a 0.8c rise this century ranging all the way to +3c. The IPCC still cling onto hopes of limiting a rise in average temperatures to just +2c, on the basis of the world going carbon net zero by 2050 by means of removing 11gt of carbon per year, IPCC fiction vs current reality of just 2 million tonnes of carbon removal per year or 0.02% of target! It's too late where even as if by magic the clown politicians all sat down and agreed to go carbon neutral right now won't make any difference because Co2 is NOT the PRIMARY DRIVER! It's what tipped the climate over the edge in search of a new higher equilibrium, the temperature will now rise regardless of what humanity does to limit carbon emissions.

By: Stephen_McBride
As I write, the S&P 500 is down 5%, and it looks like we’re in the early stages of the larger correction we’ve been anticipating.
Given US stocks surged 28% in six months, this pullback is perfectly normal and healthy.

On Thursday, the Commerce Department released its estimate of Gross Domestic Product for the first quarter. GDP growth came in at a disappointing 1.6% -- well short of the 2.3% consensus forecast.
Stocks sold off on the news. But gold and silver markets bounced modestly off their lows from earlier in the week.

GOLD, OIL and WHEAT STOCKS / Commodities / Commodities Trading
By: Kelsey_Williams
Financially speaking, the markets have been all over the map in the past four years since the onset of Covid and the self-inflicted wounds from forced economic shutdown. I went back to August 2020, five months after the festivities began, and pulled up some charts which show the price action since then for gold (money), wheat (food), crude oil (energy), and stocks (S&P 500). I will make some comments after each chart and provide observations at the end of the article. We’ll start with gold…

What’s that screeching sound?
- Does this make you nostalgic?
I can still hear the screeching sound of my old dial-up struggling to connect to the internet.
Remember those days? I’d fight with my brothers and sister for a turn on our one family computer.
Slow websites. Frozen pages. Dropped connections. The early days of the internet were rough.

US Presidential Election Year Equity Performance in the Presence of an Inverted Yield Curve / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2024
By: Submissions
We have been hearing financial media pundits tells us that the stock market will continue to rise throughout 2024. One of their arguments is that we are in a presidential election year. The link between the stock market and the election cycle is simply that the incumbent party increases fiscal spending to stimulate growth and make Americans feel better about the economy, and hence the chances of the incumbent party getting re-elected. More spending is good for firm profits, and stocks rise. The Biden administration is certainly adhering to this tradition with massive fiscal spending in 2024.

Managing Your Public Image When Accused Of Allegations / Politics / Social Media
By: Boris_Dzhingarov
Facing allegations of improper behaviour such as fraud, illegal activities or employee discrimination is incredibly challenging for businesses and individuals. These kinds of accusations can affect everything from your sales and partnerships to the morale and mental health of your workforce.Even before assertions are investigated, damage is done to your reputation based on rumour alone. A recent example is major firms like John Lewis quitting CBI following reports of rape before the case has even reached court.

All Measures to Combat Global Warming Are Smoke and Mirrors! / Politics / Climate Change
By: Nadeem_Walayat
In practical terms, humanity collectively has done absolutely NOTHING to cut back on carbon emissions so it's no wonder that that rate of increase in co2 in the atmosphere remains on an exponential trend trajectory. Back in 1999 the suits were aiming to cap co2 at 400 parts per million, today it is now over 425 ppm. in 25 years time it will probably be approaching 500ppm as in reality nothing will be done given that people want to have better lives, they want to eat meat every day not once a month or even once a year as used to be the case in centuries past. So we are a long way from even stabilising the system let alone reversing damage that is being done, look at the graph, what has been done since 2000 to prevent climate change? The answer is NOTHING! Instead the exact opposite has transpired!

Cisco Then vs. Nvidia Now / Companies / Nvidia
By: Submissions
Owen Williams writes: We have been watching the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 melt-up since the minor correction ending in October 2023. While the narrative around a Fed “pivot” on rates sparked the turnaround, it is obvious since we started 2024 that the indexes are rising purely on momentum in a handful of stocks which are leading development of artificial intelligence (AI). Notably this is Nvidia, a semiconductor foundry, along with Meta and Microsoft.

Is the Biden Administration Trying To Destroy the Dollar? / Currencies / US Dollar
By: MoneyMetals
Confidence in Western financial markets has already been shaken enough by the 20% devaluation of the dollar over the last few years. But now the European Commission wants to hand Ukraine $300 billion seized from Russia. Doing so likely would sound the death knell for the dollar and eventually the euro.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who has worked for literally decades to undermine the strength of the dollar, recently urged world leaders to take this disastrous step of outright theft.
