At base, the markets are a con game where the rich and powerful employ a raft of confidence men to lure suckers into the latest mania. In this game, the suckers are the general public who are left holding the bag as the market bubble bursts while the smart money swoops in to buy up …
The admirers of President Trump are deceived — no less deceived than the admirers of Obama had been. Trump promised to “drain the swamp” and did none of that.

As commentators focus on the hospitalisations of two Gulf monarchs, and permutate likely succession issues, they may miss the wood for the succession trees: Of course, the death of either the Emir of Kuwait (91 years old) or King Salman of Saudi Arabia (84 years old) is a serious political matter. King Salman’s particularly has the potential to upturn the region (or not). Yet Gulf stability today rests less on who succeeds, but rather on tectonic shifts in geo-finance and politics that are just becoming visible.
The U.S. Federal Reserve serves as the great enabler. It is the engine that drives the U.S. thrust for primacy.

Back to our example, having repaid his debt, the bank takes a $10 fee – its profit – and the other $40 is credited to the customer’s regular account.

His analyses of politics are often spot on, as are his pithy sayings. Two of his favourites are:
all debts are paid
and
there is no power in yes.
The first is actually quite a profound statement, and if you don’t understand the second, think of how many times you’ve been told “No!” by bureaucrats and other jobsworths, then you will understand.
