Guided Missile

The canary in the mine:

Deutsche Bank traded at around €14 at the time of that post and are now trading at around €10, some 40% lower. Meanwhile the FTSE is trading at around 7373, from 6230, at the date of that post, over 15% higher. I shorted Deutsche Bank and made around 30% on UK stocks since Brexit. I'm guessing you didn't.

Bullshit doesn't, however, often work in a court of law. Fried is set to be fried, here.

Cue lefties desperately searching for signs of bribery in the Tory party.

A new low for the EU, here: Qatar bribing FIFA is one thing, but the European Parliament. Still, it takes two to tango. In fact, so far it's taken 5.

Echo Chamber.

Germany? Doing Great? Jesus, talk about ignoring reality. They are entering a serious recession and have only done great in the past because the US and UK financed their defence, while they were getting cheap energy from the West's biggest enemy. The EU won't help them. No wonder Olaf Scholz went cap in hand to the Chinese.

Actually, I think you have confused 2023 figures with 2022. Try harder, mate.

Explain Germany's projected "growth" then Whitey. They're in the EU and according to the Remainers, they should be doing great.

It's nothing to do about the OBR "misstating" today’s UK projected GDP statistics. My chuckle about using their projections is neatly summarised in the recent article in the Times:

To make it clear, despite being in the EU, Germany's projected growth (by the OBR, chuckle and the European Commission chuckle, chuckle) is lower than France, which is also in the EU. So, I'm struggling to see what economic advantage being a member of the EU is projected to be for Germany. I'll draw a picture with my crayons later so that you may understand my point.

Woosh...

Meanwhile:

Germany's in the EU, isn't it?

Can you post anything apart from insults and incitement to murder? So much anger... #triggeredx3

God Bless America Announcing his candidacy in the ballroom at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida, Mr Trump, 76 said: "America's comeback starts right now. In order to make America great and glorious again, I am tonight announcing my candidacy for president of the United States. He accused Joe Biden of "leading us to the brink of nuclear war" and added: "Ukraine would never have happened if I was your President." Mr Trump said his successor's withdrawal from Afghanistan was "the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country". He said Mr Biden had "destroyed the economy" and brought "hardship and despair". He noted that Republicans were on course to secure a narrow majority in the House of Representatives following the midterm elections last week, which means Nancy Pelosi will no longer be speaker. Mr Trump said: "Nancy Pelosi has been fired." He outlined what he called a "national greatness agenda" based on policies he pursued in office. Mr Trump said: "Inflation was non-existent, our southern border was protected. The US had finally attained the impossible dream of energy independence, which soon would have turned into energy dominance. For the first time China was reeling and back on its heels." He said China, Russia, Iran and North Korea had been "in check" when he was in the White House. Mr Trump said: "They respected the United States and quite frankly they respected me, I knew them well. The world was at peace, America was prospering and our country was on track for an amazing future." He said under Mr Biden and the "radical left" the southern border had been "erased and our country is being invaded by millions of unknown people, many who are entering for a very sinister and bad reason. "We will be paying a big price for this invasion into our country for years to come." Mr Trump said in the last two years US cities had become "cesspools of violent crimes". He said: "The US has been embarrassed, humiliated and weakened. Now, we have a president who falls asleep at global conferences." Mr Trump dismissed Mr Biden's environmental policies, saying: "The oceans will rise one eighth of an inch over the next 200 or 300 years. "Something is wrong with their thinking. The decline of America is being forced upon us by Biden and the radical left lunatics."

Use the ignore function, mate. It works for me and believe me, I have more abusive trolls than you do.

I've always wondered why the value of bitcoin is quoted in $US, not the other way round.

Not sure of any facts, just a tweet.

Jesus, you're obsessed with him, aren't you?

FTT is the crypto currency that FTX and Sam Banker-Fraud created/mined/dreamed-up. You couldn't make it up.

A breakdown of the balance sheet of Sam Bankman-Fried’s exchange shared with investors a day before its bankruptcy filing shows that it had nearly US$9 billion in liabilities and US$900 million in liquid assets, US$5.5 billion in “less liquid” assets, and US$3.2 billion in “illiquid” assets, according to sources familiar with the matter who viewed a limited version of information. Most of the biggest holdings, including lower-profile cryptocurrencies Serum, Solana and FTT, have since plunged in value. Within 24 hours of the bankruptcy filing, an outflow of unauthorised crypto withdrawals – estimated at US$477 million by blockchain analytics firm Elliptic – further eroded the pile of assets available for possible customer recovery. FTX is launching an investigation with law enforcement into the suspected theft.
