Gold, oil & 44 Bars per Minute

“Girls love to spin.” — Wayne, Dance Instructor, Howard County Parks and Rec. I’m taking dance classes at the local Parks & Rec. with a stunning brunette, which is why I’m shuffling my feet around on Sunday nights at eight. The crowd is mixed; twenty-something hipster couples and old guys who have difficulty with their gig lines.

The instructor is a cross between Wayne Newton and Telly Savalas: a black silk shirt, shaved head, and a nose like an organic potato. He sucks his microphone like a lollipop and spits out a steady stream of advice: “One, two, hook the toe, slide back, twirl…” Chick magnet The chicks love him, of course.

And heck, I was even having a good time right up until Wayne Savalas swished over during the break. My H1 was in the parking lot. It’s shiny, yellow, and chews diesel like a Mongolian wrestler at a yak roast.

Wayne obviously saw me pull up and feels he should enlighten me about his new Chevy Volt getting 60 miles per gallon

… And why would I drive something that sucks up so much gas and destroys the environment? I told him that I was fully invested in oil explorers. And with the trouble in the Middle East launching my shares, I could drive a Semi for life… Brent Crude ETF (BNO) Yes, he said, but is this more of a trade on the Arab revolutions, or does it have more to do with the destruction of the dollar?

Wayne pointed out that the dollar/euro has hit a four-month low and seems to be heading lower. Down she goes What is most concerning is that during this particular period of global uncertainty, the

Must See: Wall Street’s "Inconvenient Truth"

admin — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 02:55:26 +0000

� “Forgive me, I must start by pointing out that three years after our horrific financial crisis caused by financial fraud, not a single financial executive has gone to jail, and that’s wrong,” said Charles Ferguson, direction of Wall Street’s own Inconvenient Truth, “Inside Job.” Of course, you’d be fooling yourself into thinking his speech will really change anything… And you’d be fooling yourself if you think the financial scams haven’t continued to this day. It’ll be a cold day in hell when executives are properly jailed for this, but at least Ferguson was able to reignite the anger that most Americans have toward Wall Street. And they have plenty to be angry about… as seen here . Plus, according to Business Insider: “ The industry has made more money since the crisis How disturbing is it that after a crisis of that magnitude and after having to be BAILED OUT in order to survive, the banking industry is still thriving while the average American is barely treading water. Reminds me of a joke I recently read on Facebook: A public union employee, a Tea Party activist, and a CEO are sitting at a table with a plate of a dozen cookies in the middle of it. The CEO takes 11 of the cookies, turns to the Tea Partier, and says, “Watch out for that union guy. He wants a piece of your cookie.” The average salary of a Goldman Sachs employee is $600,000 Honestly, I am less bothered by professional athletes who make that much. It’s despicable that these veritable criminals make 10 times what the average American makes (in some cases more than 10 times). Business Insider points out that the number has gone down — to $431,000 — but is still way, way too high. AIG paid Goldman Sachs $13 billion in taxpayer money Where did those huge salaries come from? Oh yeah! From us! So if you are only making $40,000, never fear. Your tax dollars are making sure someone is making 10 times what you are. Totally fair, right? AIG’s Joe Cassano made $315 million after the company took at least $85 billion from taxpayers There are NO words. None. Lehman CEO Dick Fuld earned $485 million Fuld claims he only made $310 million. Only. Truly, it’s so depressing in this world that so many go about defending these people’s rights to make that much while also vilifying the unions and hard-working people of Wisconsin who just want to earn livable wages and be able to afford health care for their families.” And here’s the video of Inside Job’s win… and a trailer from the must-see documentary… � � � Must See: Wall Street’s “Inconvenient Truth” originally appeared in Wealth Daily .

After the crisis, a worldwide rise in unrest?

admin — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 23:48:49 +0000

Peter Apps Reuters Feb 28, 2011 With the Middle East in turmoil, other authoritarian states jumpy and post-crisis economic pain prompting protest in western Europe and elsewhere, some suspect a systemic rise in worldwide unrest might just be beginning. Instability in the already volatile oil-producing Middle East could produce a feedback loop where unrest pushes up energy prices, fuelling inflation and deepening discontent both in the region and around the world. In most countries, the so-called “misery index” — an aggregation of unemployment and inflation long seen as a warning of protest and instability — is pushing higher. “After an extended period of economic growth and political apathy across the developed and emerging worlds, we may have reached a new political cycle — one where populations take out their grievances on their leaders and their associates,” wrote Citi political analyst Tina Fordham. “This won’t be limited to the emerging world.” In democracies, elections provide a release valve — Ireland has seen some of the worst post-crisis economic pain but minimal unrest in part because voters knew they could oust the government they blame for the crisis in elections this weekend.

Saudi activists eye protests, wait for new cabinet

admin — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 23:47:44 +0000

Reuters Feb 28, 2011 Democracy activists in Saudi Arabia say the government is closely monitoring social media to nip in the bud any protests inspired by uprisings that swept Arab countries, toppling leaders in Egypt and Tunisia. Activists have set up Facebook pages calling for protests on March 11 and 20, with over 17,000 supporters combined, but police managed to stymie two attempts to stage protests in the Red Sea city of Jeddah last month, highlighting the difficulties of such mobilization in the conservative kingdom. In one case around 30 to 50 people were detained by police when they gathered on the street, eyewitnesses said. In the second, security forces flooded the location of a protest that had been advertised on Facebook, scaring protesters away. “They are watching closely what people are saying on Facebook and Twitter,” said Saudi blogger Ahmed al-Omran. “Obviously they are anxious as they are surrounded with unrest and want to make sure we don’t catch the bug.” Full article here Stock up with Fresh Food that lasts with eFoodsDirect (AD)
