Just Spit-balling Here.
I’ve been racking my brain for some ideas on how to get this economy going again…so I figure I’ll steal a couple!
My Own Triple Witching Hour, Day, Month, Etc.
A lot of volatility occurs when thestock markets refers to a “triple witching hour” which is the last hour of trading on the 3rd Friday of March, June, September, and December.

I guess I can point the finger at myself first forputting the trade onin the first place (take note Democrats, I can actuallyadmit when I’m wrong. If you [...]
"Toby…Don’t Wipe Your Butt With the Carpet….Use The Dollar!"
Not much to say here except what we have always said on this blog. Eventually, the river of reality will destroy any man-made wall of bullshit. Every part of the economy is sucking major wind.
