Which mining stock has the most upside?
Rubio a flake snoop
Whiping sweat from his brow, Taking a water break, and way to much garbage/fluff about his background/family
Rand got to the point ... And only one that talks about how printing and debting keeps the poor poor ... Even though gov gives them "free" stuff

Unfortunately the more I learn about him the less I like him.
Politics now just a joke only reason "they" built this guy up so much is cause he is supposed to be their Hispanic messiah much like Obama was the dems
Now that us "racist white dudes" are getting diluted out in the voting ... They are breaking out the race/gender crap hard core
I could care less if Obama was black, white (he's half white), yellow orange brown or green ... All I care about is what they stand for ... I hate Obama and I hated Dubya as well
Anyway not sure why I care ... Starting to grow more apathetic not planning on kids so will just let the minorities have what they seem to desperately want ... Converting the US into Mexico north with a bunch of monopolies and rich dudes while most live like shit .... If they too stupid to see where this is heading long term and can't see through Obama bullshit so be it ... Enjoy suckas
My guess is 2016 will be Jeb vs Hillary for the final nail in the US's coffin as we know it

Like it matters... They just throw up two status quo candidates an care not the outcome
its a one party system of big government just squabbling over the details and social issues to divide and conquer the bulk of the population
The elites ancestors got rich off capitalism and now want to keep it that way an want even more .... It's a rigged game for the elite ... The left/right stuff just a shitshow to appease the have nots into thinking it matters

[h=1][FONT=verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Are Central Banks Creating a Zombie Apocalypse for Entrepreneurs?[/FONT][/h][FONT=verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
Much talk has recently centered around "currency wars" and the specter of competitive currency devaluations, with the G7 trying to dispel concerns, albeit somewhat unsuccessfully. But what about the collateral damage left in the wake of the rounds central bank are firing?

The Federal Reserve, for example, began ZIRP – its zero interest rate policy – in 2008 and has kept it going ever since. While the Fed would have us believe record-low interest rates are propping up the economy, some critics argue they are counterproductively propping up the living dead among us: zombie companies.
Here’s the idea, according to Jim Grant, founder of Grant’s Interest Rate Observer, an independent journal of the financial markets.

“In the life cycle of a capitalist boom-and-bust there, by definition, is failure as well as success,” Grant tells The Daily Ticker. “One must acknowledge failure, re-price and liquidate it, and move on to the next thing. “
This process is known as creative destruction, a phrase coined by influential 20th century economist Joseph Schumpeter. Grant explains that long ago Schumpeter proposed capitalism is like the forest floor – there is life, death, and regeneration. And you’re looking at stagnation without the death and regeneration part of the equation.
According to Grant, the U.S. was always pretty good at this process.
“The U.S. historically has been expert at this art of failing, without so much stigma to the entrepreneur who tried but didn’t succeed,” he says. “It’s a wonderful aspect of this country – very little noted.”
Where Grant says this history has started failing to repeat itself is in the world of ZIRP, where he argues “subsidized credit thanks to the Fed” is extending the life cycle of unproductive companies.

An example Grant names is Tenet Healthcare (THC).
In September of 2002, the Dallas-based owner of hospitals was a $198 stock. These days it’s priced under $40 per share.
It’s rated on B1 according to Moody’s, which Grant says means it’s “knocking on the door of finance difficulty.” Grant says the company is highly leveraged and not doing well with respect to its free cash flow.
Yet in January, Tenet was able to refinance a debt issue that cost it10.5% originally to one costing 4.5%.
As Grant puts it, “Bernanke is king and he has decreed Tenet Healthcare can borrow at these record low rates. No company rated so low has borrowed at this level ever.”
Grant argues this may be great for employees and even stockholders who might be looking at share repurchases. But, he notes, it is not so good for an entrepreneur who’s trying to make a new idea work in the area in which Tenet operates. The entrepreneur is looking at a competitor which subsidized credit is helping to keep afloat, according to Grant.

Grant notes this is happening the world over. While Japan is infamously the home of zombie companies, a recent FT columnand other articles have lamented the detrimental role of zombie companies in the UK and Europe.[/FONT]

Environment just reeks of 2007 .... Sense the calm will end soon and onto the inevitable storm
Vix new low since 2007 top ... 12.54
time to show Jdog triple tips do exist
Thought they might blast it up a bit through the 1550ish area (2000 and 2007 tops) but just seems to be straggling at this point trying to suck in whomever they can before the next flush
Gas keeps going up ... At seasonal highs the more they prop the tighter the noose gets
