Are they trying to make certain that Trump doesn't get re-elected? This interpretation is sounding less farfetched each day as the banksters continue to flout a global economic storm that is gaining strength by the week. It is manifest in the...Read More

Jingle bells have not rung for any investment class towards the close of the year. We all read about heaven and hell on our religious books.
