It’s actually called a grand solar minimum. They come around every 206 years or so. Correlates with decreased sun activity. The Dalton minimum aided by eruption of Mt. Tambuora produced the Year with out a summer the 1800s.

They also correlate with increased seismic and volcanic activity. The big one on the New Madrid fault line was during that same time period.

The current minimum has been named the Eddy Minimum. Temps and sea levels have already started to decline.

But the consensus of scientists told us that the Sun has nothing to do with global warming... and we were supposed to believe them because they are smart and all and know about that sciency stuff.

Seriously. Does this mean the beginning of an ice age?

I think the two of them should do stand-up. That line “attention will focus on whether the president projects a commitment to internationalist values or reiterates his truculent nationalism” was pure comedy gold.

They lie. They need a problem to scare people into going along with their schemes, which nearly always have some hidden motive - money and power being the two most likely.

In the 1970s there was that exact question on the cover of time magazine. Well, it wasn’t true then, and I doubt that it is true now.

However, we are most likely going to go through about 30 years of colder weather similar to the Dalton Minimum or possibly colder. Expect crop failures, and famines. They are already having food riots in Sudan. Last year there was a shortage of veggies in Europe, because of too cool temps in Spain.

Yes, Krugman will no doubt receive the outstanding academic gold medal for best economic forecaster. Hehe...He won a Nobel Prize for Economics for his “growth” models. I may just die laughing.

Blah Blah Blah. A weak dollar means that whatever we have to sell is a bargain. Once we get companies back here to produce anything. The Fed raising interest rates sometimes tips us into recession.

Stock markets rise and fall based on a herd mentality-no one wants to miss out on the rise, and no one wants to be last out the door.

During the Napoleons War, Baron Von Rothschild was the money man, so he had couriers that were allowed safe passage. When his courier told him the Brits had won at waterloo, he told his trader to sell his British holdings.

Other traders thought he was divesting because Napoleon won, so there was frantic selling. Then he had his trader scoop up all the stuff at pennies on the pound sterling. When the dust settled, he “owned” England.

Baron Nathan Rothschild said buy when there’s blood in the streets, even if it’s your own. He cleaned up in the panic of 1873.

My opinion is our market is overvalued and heading toward another bubble. What few bucks I have is 50% cash, I’ll let the rest ride a while.

8 years and trillions of dollars and all we got from the Democrats was that high unemployment and stagnation was the “new normal”

One year of President Trump and the economy is moving up again.

So tell me again why Obama should get any credit?

I guess Larry knows he has to be sneaky to try to say that Obama had nothing to do with us being stagnant for 8 years with all them “new norms” that Trump has debunked....
