Whoa! Solar

Bob Rinear, May 16 2018

Metals?

Bob Rinear, May 2 2018

700 Points

Bob Rinear, April 25 2018

We had a market that had run up for 9 years. We had valuations at nosebleed levels. We had people that didn’t sell in 2017 so they wouldn’t have to pay taxes on it in 2018. Some decided it was time to book profits. We had a lot of reasons for a correction to hit. And, hit it did.

James Corbett, April 14 2018

Too Much?

Bob Rinear, March 14 2018

I don’t believe Trump wants war with anyone. I really don’t. But he stepped into a position that’s been created and maintained by war hawks for years on end. Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam, Syria, Lybia, you name it, and the Military/industrials love it.
