Thursday Flip Flop – Can Draghi Deliver the Goods?

We had a very extensive discussion in this morning's Member Chat already, discussing the BOE, the ECB, China, Europe, AAPL vs. Samsung, China's draining of liquidity, etc. so forgive me if I'm not in the mood to cover that ground again.  

What I do find worthy of more discussion is this nice breakdown of the Russell by Bespoke, which highlights how tough things are becoming for small business in America.  Actually, these businesses aren't that small as they are public companies but compared to our top 1% Big Businesses – they are but dust in the wind.  

It's no secret that this country is now run for the sole benefit of the top 1% and the bottom 99% are nothing more than Matrix-like human cows – to be penned in and drained by the top 1% as they force them to work off a lifetime of debt that begins with the student loan they need before being "qualified" to get their first job and culminates in medical bills that wipe out whatever meager savings they were able to accumulate during their non-stop working lives (other than that 2-week vacation, of course!) and, of course, the massive bill for burying you when you die!  

When you are in the top 1%, $200,000 for college and $20,000 to have a baby and $200,000 deposits on $1M homes and $1,500 a month medical insurance are just bills that get paid, leaving plenty of money on the side to speculate in rising food and commodity prices so we are actually PLEASED when we go to the gas station and pay $4 a gallon and PLEASE when each bag of groceries costs $50 because – although we pay $60 a tank to fill up along with the rest of you – we ALSO invest in companies that charge 200M other American drivers $60 a tank and $200 for groceries and we GET part of the profits on that $52Bn a week that even the bottom of the bottom 99% must pay for food and groceries.  

Like the fees we're going…
