There are so many places I could start.

I’ll give you a few things.

The Baltic Dry Goods index measures the prices of container costs for shipping around the world. In the last 12 months the costs of shipping have collapsed by 70% which means nobody is shipping anything. Translation the economies of the world are collapsing.

The market breadth has over 50% of stocks below the 50 period moving averages. This means the Feds are bulling just the key stocks of the indexes and the rest is rot.

The commodity prices in Australia are below pre 2008 levels.

The price of oil always always always goes up in a recovery. The intel is that oil is going to $20 per barrel. Construction is at a standstill.

Black Friday sales were down 10%. That is a big number.

The last time the Fed raised interest rates in a recession which we are in was in 1936. I’ll let you fill in the blanks as to what happened immediately after.

The real unemployment rate is in the low 20%.

Brazil is past a recession and in a solid depression.

And it is an impression of the markets I get. They are acting very very weird because they are full of rot.

I could list things that are even worse.

imho; the DC politicians understand how powerful those who control them are thus they must be worried if Trump gets the Repub nomination that this controlling establishment will unleash their power on the US and that will very likely result in the wholesale and physical removal of many DC officials. Most DC politician have sold them selves to the establishment and are 100% owned. They chose to go corrupt and maybe not in my life time but one day will be made to answer for their treachery.

I also think the markets can drop 20-30% this month.

That's a tough call. As the saying goes, "Either predict amount or time, but not both." Which is not to say I don't see a valley ahead, just that timing it precisely is very difficult.

I saw a close-up of her a month ago on an ultra HD at Best Buy. Her cheeks looked like her face was melting off her skull . . . hideous and sickly looking.

Hillary does have health issues ... that’s obvious. She is able to rouse herself for public appearances and appearing before Congress, though.

It would be interesting to know what kind of meds get her up for those events because her best buddy painted a much different picture... naps a lot, not too up on issues, etc.

As thin skinned as she is, I think he could provoke her to vicious idiocy at a minimum, and maybe an infarction. Hillary dropping dead behind the podium at a debate would be rather memorable.

Exactly. After the Congressional testimony she went dark like for a week. Notice in comparison after that 3 hour NBC debate the next day Trump was speaking and at a rally. come to think of it the day before he was also at a rally.

No way Hillary can do this.

I believe you are right. Trump is most likely looking to push her health to collapse. He can do it. He smells a good clean kill.

When I saw the headline, I took it to mean the GOP were afraid that Trump's nomination would result in an electoral wipeout for Republicans. Come to find out, they are actually afraid that the Democrats will suffer an electoral wipeout and that Trump will have a mandate.

There is something really sick and twisted about this.

Trump releases his and jaw bones her daily.

It will look very bad for her.

What is she hiding!?

That is Trump’s gambit. He can harass her about this and let her twist in the wind. Brilliant.

He needs to destroy Hillary so completely, that her own pantsuit votes against her.

Too funny. I think that pantsuit is already leaning Trump.

They are terrified of hearing the words:” You are fired!” That is what this is about. It’s all about the money and power.

That is correct.

They have no bench. Sanders is a joke. Hillary has serious health issues.

He can openly speculate about her hiding TIA’s or major strokes. Falls, fainting and alcoholism.

Ouch! That’s enough info. You’ve convinced me. Now I need a good stiff shot of Scotch and a nap.

Thanks. ;)
