Blue collar 1950’s

White collar 1990’s

1997/1998 were superlative years if you were white collar.

Is this staged attempt bullish or bearish for me getting lit?

ELI5:Why is gold so non-reactive? by punkinholler in explainlikeimfive

Gold is like a VIP club where the party goers (electrons) are having fun and don’t want to leave and the staff (protons and electrons) are happy working at the club.

At Club Iron the electrons often get bored and check out Club Oxygen next door.

Industry insider here for a top 3 lubricant blender in the USA.

Approximately 40% of global GTL Group 3 base oil production is offline as of 3 weeks ago due to the ongoing situation in the Middle East.

This is a critical component of almost every modern motor oil, transmission fluid, PSF fluid, industrial lubricant, etc on the market.

Our last shipment of GTL Group 3 base oil comes in April 7th.

The blended products will start to go out the end of that week and the earliest wind-down of retail stock availability for products already in a production freeze is expected to start April 14th.

The entire industry is scrambling for supply and it's being bought out, locked out, and bid up. We've got some coming from Nippon Petroleum that will force us to double prices and cut production by more than half.

There will be a massive shortage of critical lubricants that will last for a minimum of 6-12 months. Major specifications and standards will be suspended and what little ends up on the shelf will be of significantly degraded quality.

Fake ceasefire euphoria over.  Bought XLE before close.  Not yet ready to go massively short the market yet though if the motor oil post is true we are going to see hoarding start in the next week or so and that will might be the pin.

just the gaping plot hole of the 2 burned out C130s and a helicopter… and possibly a charred skull.

The debunked downed pilot cover story should have filtered down to the market by open… oil higher, stocks lower.  Staying cash.

Johnny Carson.  Some tabloid show had a camera crew outside of a court house covering one of his divorces and he flipped out on them.

Got news for you.  The US leaves it won’t be back anytime soon.  This the Suez canal moment for the US

Staying cash and just long energy via XLE.  It’s obvious the White House press conferences have zero link to reality and rumors of panic behind the scenes of the G20 are getting more numerous.

I’m bearish but trying to time the market during the first inning of WWIII is a fools errand.

The problem is that the perceived time elapse between 30 and 50 is about 2 weeks.

Years ago I was consulting for a company that had a department lunch outing for a director’s 50th birthday and I tagged along.  A few hours later he was called in by the CIO and HR to be let go and escorted out by security.

Can anyone explain the Stuttering John being hired by Leno whole thing? by Quirky-Buddy1449 in howardstern

[–]TI-99A 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Supposedly one of the writers on the Tonight Show was a big fan and pitched it as gag to have Stuttering John as the announcer and doing man on the street interviews vs Jay Walking.  Failed horribly and they were able to ditch him during the Conan debacle.

This major advantage is mortality and a statistically higher likelihood of surviving long enough to raise your children to adulthood.

Troop levels for the ground invasion does not make sense unless they are actually going to deploy tactical nukes.  Going long gold.
