What Would $4 Billion in Election Money Buy?

Posted on by
1

We just saw the most expensive midterm election in our nation’s history.

brian_promo

 

Did you get any robocalls? Are you sick of them?

The effect of  U.S. Supreme Court rulings like Citizens United resulted in a midterm election that cost almost $4 BILLION.  And much of it was DARK MONEY.

$4 BILLION could pay for one year of the entire budget of the state of Delaware.

$4 billion could buy 1 billion meals for the homeless.

Or pay for the entire annual Renewable Energy Loans Program.

Now the American people are taking a stand.

The fifth anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that enabled that corruption is right around the corner — and people are gearing up to make this one of the last anniversaries before Citizens United is overturned.

Activists nationwide are renewing the fight to make their state the next to call for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.

Across the country, voters are outraged that a few billionaires continue to try to buy our democracy often hiding their identity.

Why Stock Markets and Forex Are Not 24 By 7.

Posted on by

With all of the computers and automation out there, why aren’t markets open all day?  It is because of price fixing at the close. Not because traders want a family life.

scrooge

Not one but SIX banks face fines up to $2.4 Billion for shady currency trading.

Here is the list of banks:  JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup,  Barclays, HSBC, Royal Bank of Scotland and UBS.

These banks were caught red-handed with text messages bragging about their shady trades to manipulate currency trading. They talk about the numpty, aka idiot, traders,  Here is a summary of the text messages:

If you want to see the full list of text messages, look at this:

How do we solve this problem?  Not with fines.

What do all these trades have in common?  They were done at market close.

This problem is not just with Forex trading.  It also involves the stock market.

We solve this by making the markets stay open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Isn’t freedom defined as being able to buy a burger or a stock at 2 AM?

Note: Forex claims to be open 24 hours but each time zone closes at 4 PM locally.

8 Things To Do When Recession Happens

Posted on by

Yeah it is not a matter of IF but WHEN the next recession will happen.  Sorry.  You could go ride a roller coaster to get your mind off of it.  Or you could do these things.

rollercoaster

Recessions occur every 4 to 8 years in a society with capitalism and little regulation.  And since the last one was in 2008….

Here’s what you should do.

1. DON’T PANIC – Stay calm.  Most people will be doing one thing – panicking. You won’t.

2. THINK, THINK, THINK – Be smarter than the rest. Know when to sell, when to buy and, like Kenny Rogers, when to hold.

3. SET UP ALERTS – Get an E*Trade or other brokerage account and set up messages when Dow (DJIA) goes up 3% or goes down 3% in a day.

4. RECALIBRATE AT NOON EASTERN TIME – If you have time, think about your next sell or buy of what and for how much before the market closes.

5. IF UP, SELL – When there is a jump up in stocks, sell your stock and funds 25-35% at a time.  You may have to wait to use the money.   Time is on your side.

6. IF UP AND GOLD IS DOWN, BUY GOLD – Gold usually moves opposite of stocks, so buy gold or gold mining funds such as NEM which will move up when stocks crash.

7. IF UP, BUY SHORTS – Shorts are stock buys that you expect to go down.  Pick losers on purpose.  Also choose bearish ETFs such as PILS and TECS that rise if the stock price of pharmaceutical or tech companies goes down.

8. IF DOWN, WAIT – Remember we agreed to not panic.

There will be four 400+ gains or losses of the DOW before a recession happens.  Anybody can take advantage of them. And I know you will. (There have been 4 days in August and September 2015 with over 400 point ups and downs.)

Or you can go ride a roller coaster to get your mind off of the market’s ups and downs.

P.S. I care about you, but can’t be held responsible for your results.

Why Humans Are More Important Than Workplaces

Posted on by

Here is a great article about workplace relationships and their importance.

business_handshakehttps://www.linkedin.com/today/post/article/20140911124150-20017018-the-worst-mistake-you-can-make-when-you-quit-a-job

This article reinforces the belief that humans are humane and corporations usually are not.

Humans are geared to help other humans, foster friendships and nurture family.

Corporations, on the other hand, are geared for making a profit.  They too often look at the short term including how to cut costs.  This may lead to dumping into the ground or river as happened recently in Virginia.

Sure corporations are a legal entity.  They were created to  protect its members, build a brand name and provide tax money to society.

But when Lincoln and the Constitution mention inalienable rights, they are talking about the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  These are the rights of humans not corporations.

That is why reversing the Supreme Court Citizens United case and voting for Senate Joint Resolution 19 is so important.  Let’s take our democracy back.

Retirement Plan That Mutual Funds Do Not Want You To See

Posted on by

Social Security is a blessing in disguise.  It is the one thing that Congress does not dare cut.  It is the one benefit millions of Americans count on for retirement. It is a hole in one.

retire_golf_man

Many people could retire if they withdrew their pensions and 401Ks early and delayed getting Social Security until they are 71.  That is what Mutual Fund Companies don’t want you to know.  That is because Social Security payments can increase 8% a year if you wait.  And withdrawing from 401Ks reduces Mutual Fund Company profits.

But do not take my word on this great secret.  Here is an article from the former President of Boeing Aerospace that agrees with delaying the collection of Social Security benefits until the age of 71.

Here is another one from a USAToday Personal Finance Journalist recommending you use your 401K before Social Security.

Stock System for the Little Guy

Posted on by

Why can’t anyone submit a stock sell order with a price range?  In other words with a maximum price AND a minimum price so you maximize your profit and minimize your loss?  Why do we have to hope it will go up and never go down?

Why do we have to use a 100 year old process that is susceptible to flash crashes and flash freezes?

Benefits of a selling price range include less risk.  A flash crash would be averted because free-falling stock prices would not happen since everyone would sell out at the lower price before a crash occurred.

But better yet, what if you allowed the maximum price to rise with the stock price?  The result is more profit if your stock rises even further.

And what if this new system works for shorting stocks as well as buying stocks?

There is a patent pending process called the Low High Trailing Execution Stock Orders System.

Time to enter the next century.

A Spring In My Step

Posted on by

In Memory of Martin Luther King Jr

an excerpt from “The Assassination of Political Robocalls“

Reverend Jessie Lewis

Washington DC April 20, 2012

I am happy to be here today because I am here to tell you I have a spring in my step. Yes there is a spring in my step. Not an ordinary spring in my step. No. This is not like the spring in a young man’s step when he hits his first home run. Nor is it like the spring in the step of a young woman when she receives her college diploma.

I am talking about the spring in my step for freedom. Yes, freedom.

When a pebble is tossed into a pond, the ripples reverberate to every corner of the pond. Just like the ripples in the pond, people everywhere in every corner of the world have heard the news of the Arab Spring. People are raising their voices for freedom. And they are being heard.

That news has put a spring in my step.

The freedom I am talking about is democracy; a democracy where government is for the people and by the people. That is what America’s founders envisioned for us. Not a government for a dictator or for the corporations. Thomas Jefferson warned “I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.” The courts have ruled that money is the same as free speech. But many people disagree.

Ever since the Arab Spring, I and others have had a spring in our step.

The bible teaches us “For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?” Lately too few people have gained a majority of the world’s wealth. These same people have been only thinking of themselves. They have lost their souls. Meanwhile the poor have gotten poorer.

But I have a spring in my step.

People have overthrown treacherous dictators in faraway lands. Occupy Wall Street protestors have raised their voices against greed and excess money for campaigns right here in our country. People are marching in their state capitols demanding a constitutional convention.

That is why I have a spring in my step.

Let there be a spring in the step of those from Seattle to Miami.

Let there be a spring in the step of those from Bismark, North Dakota to Brownsville, Texas.

And especially let there be a spring in the step of those in state capitols and Washington DC.

I have a spring in my step. I hope you do too.
