Well what hes said ranges from the right(about the dollar) to the wrong(about the jobs market, it’s been doing well for a while) to the meaningless(the rest).Originally posted by i961pie View PostI can't stand Trump but most of what Lullapie wrote is true.
But either way, it’s all irrelevant in relation to President Rapist because he hasnt taken over yet.

The DXY (dollar strength index) is almost as high as it was in late 2022. How popular must Biden have been?Originally posted by Lullapie View PostUS$ through the roof, Wall Street up and business confidence is sky high. Talk of a solution in the Middle East, talk of Russia and Ukraine representatives sitting down together.
US businesses are starting to recruit again after massive lay offs.
What an idiot Trump is - he's ruining everything and he's not even in office yet.
Meanwhile, Biden and Harris fiddle while California burns and Starmer will Make Britain Great Again.
I'm not getting on your case Lullapie but we spoke about this before. A strong currency doesn't happen for the reasons you think it does, and isn't as good as you think it is (unless you're an American going on holiday, in which case it's great).

A sincere thanks for the heads up, it's appreciated.although i haven't been scammed, i took some good advice from a family friend who had a look, i was mistaken, my investment made 9k$ not ?'s, it gets put back into my account as bit coin. I have invested in various commodities as much as i can afford to lose, yesterday i had a dip by 2,000$ but i am still well up.Originally posted by ThePieWhoCameIn View PostSeriously, although we may have very different world views, can I please just say from one Notts fan to another, don't put any more money into Quantum AI until you have successfully withdrawn some of your profits.
You know, just to check you haven't been scammed. You can always put it back in after.
I am not really enjoying the process i just wanted to see what it was all about so i don't see myself in it for a long while, but once again thanks for the heads up.

Well the job I do, a strong US dollar isn't good for us or US exporters and it does make imports to the US cheap. However, we are never going to agree because where you are coming from is light years away from where I'm coming from.Originally posted by drillerpie View PostThe DXY (dollar strength index) is almost as high as it was in late 2022.

All I can say is with the contacts I have in the US, they are more bullish than I can ever remember because of the change in government.
I met tons on people in the US in the last 5 weeks, from all walks of life. All but 2 of them were pro-Trump. The 2 that weren't said that the US has missed the opportunity to appoint possibly the best President in living memory by not voting in Harrris.
I rest my case.

We probably do have different opinions about Trump but I don't think that's relevant here. The strength of the dollar is simply not an indicator of bullishness on the president - there's no other way to put it.Originally posted by Lullapie View PostWell the job I do, a strong US dollar isn't good for us or US exporters and it does make imports to the US cheap.

It's connected to a lot of different things but in this case inflationary pressure. That's why it was strong in '22, that's why it's going up now - almost all of Trump's policies are inflationary. This is absolutely not sour grapes as I get paid in a currency pegged to the dollar and convert it to euros and pounds - it has worked out very well for me.
As I told you before, Trump himself prefers a weak dollar to a strong one.

Strength of any currency is relative to others, the Labour government has sunk Sterling, just in time for my next jolly, as f****** usual.Last edited by Med Pie; 14-01-2025, 01:09 PM.

Meanwhile
President-elect Donald Trump would have been convicted of illegally trying to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election - which he lost - if he had not successfully been re-elected in 2024, according to the man who led US government investigations into him.
The evidence against Trump was "sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial," Special Counsel Jack Smith wrote in a partially released report.
Also,
Trump has not invited Starmer et al to his inauguration.

Possibly so, but the Dow Jones has had a mini slump since the start of December, so what does that tell us?Originally posted by Med Pie View PostNot really, markets react to likely future changes very quickly both political and financial
If you make big claims like lullapie did without putting dates on them then you?re essentially wasting your time. Not for the first time in his case.

True to type, typical leftist bollox, resort to insults when presented with facts, grow up.Originally posted by BigFatPie View PostApologies I forgot for a moment that you and that other clown share the same brain cell.
Few of your posts actually ever defend your point, usually just a dismissive, comment or insult which probably belies your lack of knowledge on numerous topics that you opine on.Last edited by Med Pie; 14-01-2025, 04:11 PM.
