Microbio-glutonist + 61 DC January 3, 2019 Apple, like many other capitalist free-market American enterprises, is paying the price of willful gullibility. China is COMMUNIST, Dah! They execute more people each year than all other nations combined; do you need a new liver? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2012/11/05/yes-china-still-harvests-organs-from-executed-prisoners/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.de0a9715388e Americans willfully ceded their "exceptionalism" to the dustbin of history. Ideals such as Freedom, Liberty, the Rule-of-Law, Democracy, and Self-determination are not considered part of American life anymore. What is important to most Americans is the price of consumer goods, most of which are manufactured under the coercive rule of communist China. As China implodes from the trade war and the Feds non-renewal of $50 billion a month in Treasury bonds, American firms will turn to other cheap labor societies. Hence, American firms will turn to Vietnam, another coercive communist nation. America provided China with 40 years of prosperity. Over 600 million people have been brought out of poverty since China joined the WTO in 2001. It has been the largest transfer of wealth in human history, which really is deceiving because America borrowed the money it squandered. Communist governments control the factors of production; when foreign companies become a threat or can be used as leverage in a trade war, the government informs its population that the foreign product is not to be purchased. Any Chinese person buying the foreign product can be fired, so there is an immediate impact. Coercion works when you have the power of life and death over individual lives. It is unfortunate Americans chose cheap toasters over economic freedom, human rights, and the rule of law. America, the leader of the free world, is in serious jeopardy of collapse, which will, in turn, spark a global war and tyrannical rule. Americans have no one to blame but themselves. The Magna Carta and U.S. Constitution used to mean something. https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/?symbol=aapl&qsearchterm=aapl https://www.bbc.com/news/business-46742871 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dan Warnick + 6,100 January 3, 2019 You would have to look hard on the financial pages to find anything about this event that was triggered out of Japan (USDJPY), but this is some of what happened overnight in the currency exchange markets. This was not a fluke, although the fact that Japan is still officially on a holiday week didn't help ("thin" markets). One company can cause this kind of tidal wave = the markets have much bigger problems. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nervousness about many issues is causing the markets to react in a very volatile manner. "The Market" is telling us something, which may lead to further declines. Let's see how the market ends the day and week. Friday will be a big news day, Thursday will also have some potential movers. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
