Off: Just 6 months before the suggested date of Bulgaria joining the EURO area, our president decided its good to have a referendum against accepting the EUR currency, nice, ah.

Gold falling sharply. I’d be inclined to buy more when it gets below 3000. Obviously more of a psychological threshold than a rebalancing band.

I wonder why retirement accounts are called superannuation accounts in Australia.

Bizarre. Usually, the impoverished are lured into the sex traffic trade.
Apparently, this happened before the India-Pakistan conflict over Kashmir.

Well, I don’t want to wait another 12 months.

Thank God he definitively said he has no intention of firing Jerome Powell. If that happened I worry it would just collapse the markets, especially the debt markets.

HIs advisors finally got through to him.

Interesting! My M-I-L is originally from that province (Hunan).
