Guest Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Although it was scarcely reported in the press, an extraordinary event took place in Washington earlier this month. Pascal Lamy, The European Union trade czar, visited with influential members of Congress for the express purpose of determining whether a new tax bill is being crafted to his satisfaction. If Mr. Lamy- a member of the French Socialist Party- is unsatisfied with the changes made to our tax code, he threatens to unleash a European trade war against U.S. imports . . . Ron Paul, M.D. Member of Congress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerMarket Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 currently on the front page of wall struck urinal online: Freddie Mac is expected to report that it overstated earnings by as much as $1 billion in 2001 when it releases its restatement. and I haven't even heard mention on MayorTV of the next grenade in the developing trade war: China to Raise Tariffs on U.S. Goods but according to MayorTV, fucutures are down due to bombings in Turkey. Glad we have them to explain it, otherwise I'd think stuff like the above might worry a few people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinehead Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Payback time: China will raise tariffs on some American imports, the Commerce Ministry said on Thursday, in a step that comes just days after a fresh trade spat sparked by a U.S. move to cap imports of selected Chinese textiles. "The Chinese side will raise import tariffs on some commodities imported from the United States and we are currently studying relevant plans," Vice Commerce Minister Ma Xiuhong told the official Xinhua news agency. The retaliation game Whew, that's a relief! What if they raised the tariffs on importing T-bones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lock Limit Down Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Watch gold. The miners knew the bad news yesterday before the close. How do they do that? And watch the bond. I think this is key. There will be a day when they hold an auction and noone will come. The gang of 22 has been very active of late, shorting the bond. Contracting money supply and a rising bond yield will stop bubble 2 in its tracks. from Sinclair Seeing the extreme drop in the purchase of US Treasury instruments scares the hell out of me. Is there a link between the extreme contraction in monetary aggregates, along with the hard drop-off in foreign money flowing into the US, and the unwillingness of lending institutions to continue the exponential increase in consumer debt?

Luckily we know who's doing this because the Passport of one of the suicide bombers magically survived and was found in the rubble. Hey, maybe they'll fall for it twice. What I particularly love about them wacky bombers is they can pack a truck with explosives and wire it up but somehow keep forgetting to check to see if the targets are occupied .... Desperate people and desperate times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
