NnnnotSoSmart Posted February 9 Posted February 9 (edited) There's a greater than zero percent probability that this describes many of our foreign based "friends" who continually bash the US and Trump's policies. As much as they apparently "hate" America and what Trump is doing, the US apparently continues to be the place to invest...and for obvious reasons. One would think their money would do the "real" talking as opposed to empty words on anonymous "polls" and online chat boards. ---------------------------------------- Opinion US equities Bash All Day, Buy All Night Why foreigners keep pouring money into America "When it comes to the US, investors the world over now love to Bash All Day, Buy All Night. Travelling recently across Asia, Europe and the Middle East, I was struck by the rising intensity of complaints about America under Donald Trump, from its tariffs to designs on Greenland and apparent disregard for the old global order. Polls show the same erosion, with favourable opinions of the US plummeting worldwide. Then I got back to New York, looked at the numbers and saw that, even as opinions of the US plunge, the money is flowing in like never before. Last year foreigners poured around $1.6tn into US financial assets, including nearly $700bn into stocks, both new records and significantly higher than the levels of recent years. The story is much the same for US corporate bonds, with foreign purchases up sharply." https://www.ft.com/content/b081357c-abc9-4c7a-87e1-8353504f6939 Bash All Day, Buy All Night.pdf Edited February 9 by NnnnotSoSmart

beerbaron Posted February 10 Posted February 10 6 hours ago, cubsfan said: Why am I not surprised,,, Well sentiment has little to do with investment in us assets. Based on economic accounting principles and the data shown in tbe graph, the link between increasing foreign investment and the trade deficit is direct and functional: they are two sides of the same coin. Fix the trade deficit and foreign asset will follow. Fixing trade deficit will not be done by tarifs alone. Fiscal policy and consumption reduction will do the heavy lifting.
cwericb Posted February 10 Posted February 10 Is it not embarrassing for Americans to have their President cry and boohoo about the poor US being taken advantage by Canada? This is the same guy who now is acting like a spoiled kid wanting to get his name on Penn Station and Dulles Airport. But this really takes the cake, talk about grovelling, for crying out loud grow up. Oh no, not hockey. The guy is losing his mind!

They should do a new season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" with Trump playing the Larry David character. It's pretty much the same thing! Cheers!

Are you familiar with the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution? Or are you more concerned about Vance as president than Trump?

If you are mentioned 38,000 times in the files, I think you probably did a lot of bad shit! I would much rather catch the big fish, rather than the small fry who would be harder to prosecute. Funny how Europe is going after these guys and getting results, yet the MAGA faithful say it's a waste of time! Cheers!

Funny how Europe is going after these guys and getting results, yet the MAGA faithful say it's a waste of time! Cheers! Of course they are, theres no rule of law in Europe. Here as you see, these creeps go through the gross and disturbing "files" with a half hand on, see which ones are political enemies, and then do the "besties with a pedo" chant even though its pretty obvious that someone whom infiltrated such a high level of NYC finance and fashion as Epstein did, likely met with and emailed tens of thousands of folks over the decades. But pea brained tabloid culture in America means a bunch of self serving politicians and keyboard warriors on X think theyre going to "bring everyone mentioned to justice" lol.

Then nail all of them!! Start at the top and work down or start at the bottom and work up. The fact is that its hard to discern involvement or level of guilt (or innocence!) because rhey refuse to release the unredacted files in full as required by law and supported by Trump himself. Those peabrained politicians seem to have found the evidence and balls to subpoena the Clinton's (before backing away because they dont want to do it publicly) but not the current President? Nail them all. Stop hiding if you've got nothing to hide.
Parsad Posted February 11 Posted February 11 "Don" or "Donald" appears in the unredacted Epstein files over 1,000,000 times! That's probably why they redacted full pages of the files. Cheers! https://www.axios.com/2026/02/10/trump-epstein-files-jamie-raskin-unredacted

Cheers! https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/10/health/fda-moderna-mrna-flu-vaccine Trial design was vetted with the FDA but I guess the new leadership doesn’t like mRNA. I do think the people that they get killed tend to vote red. Perhaps they can launch the flue vaccine in other countries. Flu vaccines only have 60% effective (based on complication rates) as I recall so a better flu vaccine could make some impact and substantial cost savings.

Parsad Posted February 12 Posted February 12 I think the Trump-Epstein Files will eventually take down this administration. This is like the Watergate Scandal...the stench just won't leave! There will be enough fall-out one way or another (redact and hide; fail to indict; spill the beans and point out the powerful perverts; perverts spill the beans on Trump for deals). Anyway you look at it, shit is in Trump's lap...among others! Those with BDS or ODS will keep buying the lies and ignore what happened and tout the Dow, borders, or some other "win". But Trump-Epstein Files are front and center now...you can blow up Iran and annex Greenland...but the stench is now an entity...it lives! Cheers!
Mephistopheles Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Really not trying to make the following post political. This Pam Bondi is such an embarrassment, so hard to watch:

What defeats others still empowers this man...until proven otherwise. The more he lies, cheats, and steals...the more he pretends to be what he is the opposite of...the more his admirers flock to his defense. Most are fearful, being able to break down the rule of law is seen as quite the accomplishment. But we all know there's a majority of this sceardy-cat cult who are monitoring the scene, they'll jump ship when and if they feel safe to do so and of course when it is in their best interest. I think the stock market is the key to all of this. Until Mr. Market stops his euphoria we have little hope. For that matter isn't the stock market fueling the entire economy? Seems that way to me.
