ElAwadi tells us that he is working in the stock market...but he isn't afraid about the stock market. Why should ElAwadi be afraid about the stock market? Is he losing HIS money out there? It's a good thing he told us up front that he isn't a "conspiracy theorist".  |
Wasn't it PA Mike who once said something to the effect that we have no idea about what really goes on in this world? Well, I believe him.
Just imagine, if no one sold their stocks through fear and just held strong.

Come on man .... 
I would call you a racist, but China isn't really a race
and isn't it about time Nancy puts some money in the virus bill for reparations to the people in the areas surrounding the Rift Valley and Ebola River who have been ostracized due to calling a deadly disease for their region?
ps, hopefully the US can start producing our own antibiotics before China decides they don't want to sell to us any more.

It's one thing to say that "we have no idea what really goes on in this world"...and it's another thing to call a conspiracy theory "so plausible". "Plausible" doesn't mean 'possible'; it means PROBABLE...and that's an entirely different thing.
As far as the stock market is concerned...that's an unscrupulous game played between the "whales", the "sharks"...and some "guppies". How can you get a unanimous result when the participants are so different in nature?

Some Whales,,,,bunch who think they're sharks...(some are...most aren't)...then there is CHUM.....mom & pop & everybody else...

Well the last thing I want to send JR is questions, the weight he has on his shoulders for everyone he has worked with is a heavy weight for anyone to sort out. We can only be hopeful that things work out for not only JR but all business being crushed by this event. After all this is something that might surpass the 9/11 attack on our country. It looks like more devastation to wall street and individual business, I have to tell you that I had real strong feelings back then.

For a particular issue, I weigh the information that's out there and from whom, I'm patient, and then I trust MY judgement...for the truth.

It already has.
At least back then, the gov't told you to go out shopping and "not let the terrorists win."
What do they tell you today instead?
"Go home and cower in fear MFers."

You're playing with words. Plausible, possible and probable are all interchangeable synonyms, per Thesaurus.com.
As to the stock market, I said: "Just imagine."
Methinks you're trying to be clever, Thaskalos.
