    Remember all the dire warnings from the Brexit vote. Wasn't the entire world supposed to come to end?

  2. williamhill : you can bet on the US elections. very legitimate firm.

    I am glad I do not have any Facebook, as my then military-related job forbade us to have a facebook and explained why. Sorry: no illegal activities for me. Thanks god, our justice system means that the cops have to have a judge legal order, and our cops are not completely corrupts.

    Why are you into false testimony, as well as slanderous insinuations?
    What benefits are you seeking when getting into the path of making false testimony, as well as slanderous insinuations?

    What type of person are into the path of making false testimony, as well as slanderous insinuations?
    Thus, what type of person are you?

  3. The Brexit debate was very well managed : there were plenty of debates where any scaremongering was analysed and debunked. No need to try to portray the Brexit debate for what it was not.

    This site tends to attract a lot of guys who don't fully understand the world and are irrational about it to some degree. So as a gauge for making bets, it's likely only useful as something to counter. The majority on here like Trump, so he'll likely lose the election.

    For proof of this concept, note that the number one theme on here from April 2009 through 2012 was heavily shorting the SPX. Not only was this theme promoted heavily, there was an aggressive mocking style where the clique banded together to mock anyone who disagreed with them. All they did really is cost themselves some pretty low risk quality investment opportunities ( at best ) or lose a ton of money trading their ideas ( worst case ).

  5. I suppose they are very passionate about these elections as it is close to home.
    I'd like to know:
    - what makes it difficult for them to understand other views than theirs?
    - why are they irrational about their viewpoints?

    Personnally, I find the US candidates quiet lacking. I already knew about Hillary issues,
    but not really about Trump's one. So these elections allow me to learn more about Trump.

    I did not portray it in anyway for what it was not. The word from the elites was that Brexit was going to have this huge negative impact that would be felt for years to come. Nice try pretending that those were not claims. You specialize in BS, I guess thats why support Hillary.

    What military related job did you have and for what country. You sound foreign to me.

    What false testimony are you talking about? Your post makes no sense whatsoever.

  8. I have always said I was not living in the USA. Yes I have often visited the USA, but I actually never found it an attractive place to live long term : if I was to live overseas again, that would be for an Asian country or a continent I don't know about such as Australia, Africa, Latin America.

    Let me remind you what you wrote:
    " who breaks the law, then posts your illegal activity on Facebook so the cops can show up at your door 2 hours later. "

    Now, what type of person are you, as you are into making false testimony and slanderous insinuations?

  9. Publications: Trump: The Art of the Deal (with Tony Schwartz)

    speaking of Trump's ghost writer Tony Schwartz....

    “I put lipstick on a pig,” he said. “I feel a deep sense of remorse that I contributed to presenting Trump in a way that brought him wider attention and made him more appealing than he is.” He went on, “I genuinely believe that if Trump wins and gets the nuclear codes there is an excellent possibility it will lead to the end of civilization.”

    If he were writing “The Art of the Deal” today, Schwartz said, it would be a very different book with a very different title. Asked what he would call it, he answered, “The Sociopath.”

    “I was shocked,” Schwartz told me. “Trump didn’t fit any model of human being I’d ever met. He was obsessed with publicity, and he didn’t care what you wrote.”

    it’s impossible to keep him focussed on any topic, other than his own self-aggrandizement, for more than a few minutes, and even then . . . ” Schwartz trailed off, shaking his head in amazement. He regards Trump’s inability to concentrate as alarming in a Presidential candidate. “If he had to be briefed on a crisis in the Situation Room, it’s impossible to imagine him paying attention over a long period of time,” he said.

    But Schwartz believes that Trump’s short attention span has left him with “a stunning level of superficial knowledge and plain ignorance.” He said, “That’s why he so prefers TV as his first news source—information comes in easily digestible sound bites.” He added, “I seriously doubt that Trump has ever read a book straight through in his adult life.” During the eighteen months that he observed Trump, Schwartz said, he never saw a book on Trump’s desk, or elsewhere in his office, or in his apartment.

    The bolded is why his supporters like him. He is just like them.

    Sorry, asshole, I don't read every post you have ever made and could not care less where you are from. I am rather relieved to hear you are not living in the US and hope you never return. Based on your double digit IQ I dont see any point reading anymore of your posts.

    I never made any false claims or slanderous insinuations. Your poor reading comprehension skills led you to that conclusion.
