extra costs for social benefits of which I don't receive any: 85 euro's (above the rest)
2 speeding tickets: 700 euro's + 75 euro's administration fees.... one for driving 39km/h where I was allowed to drive 30 and 1 where I drove through an orange light while driving 20 miles over the limit.
I PAY MORE FINES THAN A MUSLIM CONVICTED TERRORIST EVER DID!!!
A letter from the unemployment agency that I need to prove that I work...
now that's a funny one... I run a company with 16 employees and I have a turnover of 3 million...
If I don't respond, I'll get a fine... I tore it up, that will be worth it to hire a lawyer.
Fucking morons.
My electricity bill... that one is up by 30% and I used less electricity than last year... go fish...
And that's how our government works. They fuck it up in a thousand ways.

Overall, the county economies recovered on all four indicators by 2015 still represent only 7 percent of all county economies.
In contrast, almost 16 percent of county economies had not recovered on any indicator by 2015, mostly in the South and
Midwest. States such as Florida, Georgia, Illinois and Mississippi have more than a third of their county economies still reeling
from the latest downturn across all economic indicators.

"The powers of financial capitalism had (a) far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland; a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank... sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world." - Carroll Quigley, member of the Council on Foreign Relations"

Hayek’s work on prices as signals, although his conclusions are typically disputed. Hayek’s work is also known in political philosophy, legal theory, and psychology. Within the Austrian School of economics, Hayek’s influence, while undeniably immense, has very recently become the subject of some controversy. His emphasis on spontaneous order and his work on complex systems has been widely influential among many Austrians. Others have preferred to stress Hayek’s work in technical economics, particularly on capital and the business cycle, citing a tension between some of Hayek’s and Mises’s views on the social order.

My broker would still let me buy/hold $4 worth of stock for every $1 I have. At some point this volatility is going to be enough that they drop that to $3 or $2. Then all those people on margin have to do a bunch of selling. This of course ...

Gross Profit Margin (Quarterly): 67.11% I find a distubance in the Force interesting only.

Despite the constant clammer from "Small Cap fund managers" that they are the plaxce to be for protection against a soaring USD (since they are dominantly domestically focused), it seems the fact that small caps are much more sensitive to credit market conditions is the real reason and that market is carnaging.

I am not buying on margin, if that is what you mean. Just pointing out that usually when the markets are volatile like this the rules change and only allow smaller margin leverage ratios. But when they change the rules it forces a bunch of selling. So I am predicting a rule change that helps push the crash along.

Note that someone with a 4:1 leverage using margin (which my broker allows) would lose 10% when the market drops 2.5% like today.

For my trading, I am just watching my S&P puts do really well so far this year.
