ReplyDeleteNo LULU, NFLX or T-Bonds? I'm shocked.
ReplyDeleteHere's Barney Frank's:

Source: Rep. Chellie Pingree (ME-01) and her [sic] fiance [Mr. Donald Sussman
Description: First Class Round Trip Travel by Private Aircraft - Washington, DC to United States Virgin Islands
Value: $2000
So hedge fund mogul Sussman takes Frank to the Virgin Isles with the woman whose campaign he just financed. Value: priceless.
His gold bars off out of public disclosure.
ReplyDeleteWow, he owns all of the major public miners. Talk about practicing what you preach.
ReplyDeleteI see he has 'Coeur d'Alene Minds' sounds like intellectual property to me.
ReplyDeleteHi!, Fellow Americans:
ReplyDeleteSense Dr. Paul is in my mind a Conservative Libertarian, it would be welcomed information, if it could be diclosed what the portfolios of some of our less than Libertarian Democratic and Republican party members look like wouldn't it?
Would their portfolios also show them hedged against the consequences of their very own congressional actions too?
"Would their portfolios also show them hedged against the consequences of their very own congressional actions too?"
ReplyDeleteNow that would be a very interesting way to smoke out the rats, eh?
Ron knows that there is absolutely NO gold in Fort Knox so it really is a no brainer to climb into gold stocks any congratulations Ron ON A GOOD SELECTION .....WAY TO GO
ReplyDeleteIf you want to know why a politician says or does something in office... just look at their portfolio!
ReplyDelete1 oz. gold $1500, One 9mm bullet $0.36 Think about it.
ReplyDeleteHope I don't bore you with any of this and I agree this man's portfolio is a shinning example of what grade school children can have mastered by the time they finish high-school. However, they must have one condition present for that to happen, a decent government, teachers,and parents who insist on the optimal development of a certain kind of individual!
ReplyDeleteThat obviously has not happened and though I have strong feelings as to why, I will leave those among you who continue to elect and re-elect these 'leaders' whose influence we daily suffer to "figure it out for yourself!" as Joan Crawford reportedly told her adopted eight year old Christina.
Daniel Patrick Mohynihan once commented that communities that tolerated woman dominated households with no proper male authority would
experience well deserved chaos. However, the
senator failed to foresee that so called democracies that fail to properly educate its
own people let alone immigrants in self develop-
ment and tell the truth about its history will
suffer consequences even worse than the lazy
folks in the ghetto with weak males begging for what they should have been taught early on to fight for and win their place in life as equals
with any other people in the earth!

of a certain kind of of individual. The kind of
individual this 'Republic' whose revered consti-
tution mentions not a damned thing about being a 'democracy' or having any intention of the
development of any such kind of person as would be capable of even imagining constructing such a
portfolio. The Jekyll Island folks and J. P. Morgan proved that when they conspired to form a central banking system here! Daniel Patrick Mohynihan once remarked that a people that tolerate in their own communities woman headed households with no proper male authority will experience well deserved chaos! He failed to indicate any foreknowledge that I'm aware of that will prove that any so called 'democracy' that fails to properly educate its own people, let alone immigrants and tell all of the truth of significant occurrences in its own history will suffer consequences even worse!
Apparently the fact that any 'weathervane' can
become presidetn regardless of color (or sex no
doubt in the coming election, or perhaps even
regardless of sex preference if you don't count
Mrs. Wilson who ran things after Woodrow had a mental breakdown, or James Buchanan!)

A study was published years ago in the Financial Times showing that US Congressmen/women in their PUBLISHED trusts perform better on average than Buffet (whose father was a Senator and has had plenty of inside info and juice to help his already 'sharp' mind profit)! And that does not include the HIDDEN investments and trusts that the US politicans have where they hide their serious money ... and the money they make under the table that they NEVER paid any tax on whilt they scam and bleed the average American as if it were a veal calf.
ReplyDeleteAnd this from a Gov't official. Yikes! They are the legal inside traders so they should know but sharing it with us....whoa...he's in deep do-do now. Thank you tho.
