So in effect you don't produce anything of value yourself, you make money from the equities you trade.

Does this make me a "neocon" or a "merchant" or a "Zionist" or a "globalist" or whatever the codeword is today?

Since you trade equities you should know where capital is flowing, is investment in the US up or down compared to foreign investment?

You seen the stock market lately? You seen Europe's markets (or everyone else's for that matter) lately?

You aren't a merchant . A merchant actually owns a store, works, produces goods and services. You gamble. You don't invest. A long term investor wouldn't be bragging so heavily about 1 stock going up over a 2 week period. You could be trading ding dongs, or zinc tablets for all you care. You aren't investing. You are betting that you will hit black jack.

Day trader basically. Just like I said.

It makes you a creep.

An uneducated, Chinese child who (because China uses child labor) is a PR person for an outsourcing firm, in between your posts as a Democrat Underground member.

Actually that was somewhat of a trick question. Most overseas investment doesn't show up on a trading board because many of the recipients are not a publicly traded entity. There are many studies that show capital is flowing into third-world developing economies in record numbers.

Since many of these countries are state owned or the business entities are not publicly traded they would not show up in your trading systems.
