DOLLAR: USDX INTRADAY DOWNSIDE BREACH 77.688
August 3rd, 2009WARNING: This is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any financial instrument. Buckle up. A lot of stuff could break on the way down to 71-72. While I’m expecting it to wreck hard, a part of me is sitting here, looking at it and thinking, “They’re not really going to let this happen, […]
Corporate Welfare at the Expense of Everything Else
August 3rd, 2009Via: Solari: What we are watching price out through the political process is life vs. death.
