I think we need to be clear on something. It is not the goal of our country or our government to allow chaos to take form so that a few shorts,...
I don't think it is the government. Booms and busts can be traced back hundreds if not thousands of years. There are scammers in this world and...
I think all shorts may want to consider that the bias for the next several months is going to be up. I don't want to discourage shorts, because...
Not so huge. My ex pulled out money from her financial planner because he was a joke, and now she is steadily plowing back the money in a more...
Yes, some hedge funds have blocked redemptions. But it is all a temporary dislocation. All of those redemptions must find their way back into some...
