What is enjoyable about these type of forums is the exchange of thoughts and ideas. You just might be correct about Fund Managers. But many of us have already learned that high frequency trading machines are the new norm, what is next, a monkey at the control panel.
Who is in control of those buttons that cause stocks to trade.
In reference to this latest Syrian news, I am glad Russia is taking part in military action. Let his country spill some blood for awhile. Like we have all learned these past 10 years, this region of the world is a constant battle between one Muslim group and another.
Now they will have an old enemy to battle, Russia will lose in the long run, and other countries will be threatened in the region with populations fleeing to safety.
It will also become a bigger part of the upcoming 2016 elections.
All of this means more uncertainty for the Stock Market, and oil and gold will once again prove to be no safe havens. If Saudi Arabia is bombed, then things could change quickly. But just maybe the Royal Family will have to choose sides in this conflict.
I love it that American troops are safe at home, and look forward to the troops in Afghanistan leaving soon.
On a side note, anyone looking for some 1969-1973 Nolan Ryan baseball cards, or a very nice Cal Ripken 1982 Topps Traded Rookie Card.
I do not have any more Silver Eagles, so next are my baseball cards.
