Hillary Emails – Astonishing

Hillary-Screw-You
The most incredible aspect about Hillary’s email scandal is the total lack of the press simply drilling this down to a simple fact. Hillary DID NOT use the government email system, she used her own. She claimed she was unaware that you could have two emails on one phone. That alone shows she is not qualified to be president.
Nonetheless, that can ONLY mean that top secret emails were indeed sent by her personal email service. All her discussions with foreign governments who donated to her charity were also on her emails.
If you work for the government and you op to put all OFFICIAL emails on your private unsecured server because you assumed you could only have one, wouldn’t you assume that national security comes before personal emails?
This is just amazing. Obviously Hillary has lied about the emails for how did she conduct business as part of her job without using a government system? If you had to choose between the two, it would seem the country should come first.
Now her staff is taking the Fifth Amendment refusing to testify. Obviously, the only reason to take the Fifth requires as risk of a crime.

Snoop Dog Loses $400,000 in Cash Seized by Police

Snoop-Dog
CNN is reporting that a normal check at Lamezia Terme in Italy, the rapper was found with $422,820 in U.S. cash, a police source told CNN. The maximum amount of cash that passengers traveling through Italy can carry without declaring it is €10,000 ($11,010.25). The rules were put in place to prevent money laundering. So European government have adopted US seizure policy. If you have cash, they assume it is guilty without having to prove a crime and they claim it is now their’s. Welcome to the new world of Civil Asset Forfeiture where the money is guilty for just existing.

Understanding Trends Change

UP-DOWN
This difference between goldbugs and stockbugs is really nothing. Both tend to view the world through rose colored glasses with blinders. They forget that ALL markets go both up and down and this is quite normal, not abnormal. A true global hedge fund manager must look at all asset classes, not just stocks or commodities. They must also view the world of currencies. We know that normal markets move in both directions even when there are long-term trends in motion. This is why we split a market into time frames from daily to yearly and project the trend on each level. This allows you to identify a “pop” within a bearish trend on a monthly level and at the same time distinguish between a broader bear market and a reaction.
Gold is an example. It has not elected any Yearly Bearish Reversals so it is not in a protracted bear market long-term, only a reaction measured in years. Yet on the monthly level, our model remains short. This is playing one time level against the next. However, this enables us to say 2011 will be a high with a maximum decline of 5 years, which is by no means a change in long-term trend.
When any group gets married to a vision of a market, that is when they get burned. All markets rise and fall constantly. They can be up and they can be down, while counter-trend moves lasting weeks or months and at times even years, and are the norm. For those who only look at one market, this concept may have been forgotten.
Currently, in stocks, the trend has been mostly higher the past 6 years, although we did have some short-term corrections counter-trend along the way. They assume this is the norm and forget that there can be wild swings even on a yearly basis. This is no different from the goldbugs who only expected gold to rise perpetually and its decline they chose to attribute to some sinister plot rather than market conditions.
Nothing but nothing moves only in one direction. The sooner you learn that lesson, the greater your chances of survival for the future.
