How can I put this, it's like we sold someone our rolex at a premium and now in the financial crisis they are short dollars so they are selling us back the rolex at a discount. And even then, it's like we are giving them rez casino tokens instead while laughing in their face.Swaye said:
Finally, something I can understand.Pitchfork51 said:
As a drunken frat boy from a middling institution who majored in finance.....Swaye said:I still don't get it. Going to need to really spell this out for the dumb red.
USA rules.
Edit:oh right, and everyone in the whole trailer park is lining up to get this deal. -
The Fed is as old and white as the CIA. The difference is that they aren't a bunch of communists.salemcoog said:

Just spent 20 minutes debating if the grandma I was shopping for would prefer to replace her out of stock buttermilk flaky biscuits with original flaky or buttermilk southern style.
Is she more concerned with texture or flavor? -
I want the microchips all made here. This is first and foremost.PurpleThrobber said:

That "stimulus" we just released was a fraction of the debt we can now borrow at essentially a zero rate. Hello leverage.
We essentially just had the biggest IPO in history and people were burning their own money just to get a piece.
Lol at Russia and the CCP and their attempts to dump dollars.
Who fucking knows if the US is still smart enough to reap the fruits of this responsibly but this is a Godfather taking over moment.
NineG internet NOW!
Step on their motherfucking throat. USA! USA! USA! is good at this finance shit.
Then invade Venezuela because the Throbber needs to see some Voobs when the travel ban is lifted.

Food supply is critical as well.
May as well just claim everything down to Venezuela. No reason to venture into Brazil because the porn bush is coming back and we don't need that B-wax shit in the new world.
Costa Rica, Panama, Belize....all sweet vacay spots. Fire up the cruise liners and travel industry again.

Pretty sure most of this was already in place. A couple of weeks ago they expanded the list of currencies/countries and this week expanded it further (thus the reaction largely baked in?).dflea said:I expected more of a reaction from the Dow. Maybe the big reaction is it didn't go in the shitter again today.

TBF this isn't a super change from the norm. As I've said many times, the US is the world reserve currency. The difference is that this crisis has solidified it's position as that and the FED is now openly acknowledging that instead of pretending otherwise. They have now made it easy to swap treasuries for dollars to create certainty in the world market for US treasuries. The only thing is, you are going to take a .25 shaving off as a premium.dflea said:I expected more of a reaction from the Dow. Maybe the big reaction is it didn't go in the shitter again today.
It boils down to the Fed is flexing it's muscles early rather than late in this crisis.
Where else are people going to put their money now? Euros? Rubles? RMB? Oil? Bitcoin? Lol.
Barring the American people voting for a socialist(could happen) the US should be the world reserve currency for another twenty years at least after this. -
It jumped early on some oil deal between the Saudis and Ruskies. Fell back on historically bad unemployment and the usual shit we face these days. So far 19,000 has held as the bottom as we seem to be playing in the 21,000 range. I may open up a hedge fund.dflea said:I expected more of a reaction from the Dow.

In other news gas prices are falling below 3$ a gallon in California even with the onerous taxes here. Too bad we aren't supposed to drive anywhere -
After they most likely released the virus accidental or otherwise we should wipe all out China debt off the books as a starter for the damage they have caused us.salemcoog said:
So what tactics can be used to hurt China? They are our true enemy, I do know our economies are co dependent and so we don't want to wreck them. But how do we make them feel pain economically without hurting ourselves in the process.UW_Doog_Bot said:
We just basically had a forcible take over of the world economy. The US Fed is now the world's central bank. Anyone who doesn't play ball is going to be bent over and have the plunger inserted until it hits the back of their nasal cavity from the wrong direction.Swaye said:I still don't get it.

No taxes, no revenue. NO revenue, no POS Cali state programs for the non-productive.
When the Feds come in to save their ass, the price is gonna be steep.
