Lxxx Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 The dollars position as the currency of choice is under threat. Not a moment too soon either. The challenge in the market at the moment is commodity companies dragging on it with low oil prices here for the medium term at least and China slowdown which will kill and is killing commodity companies. The make up of the top companies has changed over the past ten years and commodity companies make up a much bigger portion of market cap that they used to. Show me a stronger currency to park huge amounts of money. Granted Russia and China would like to dethrone it and it will come in time, probably to be replaced by the IMF's Special Drawing Rights and a basket of currencies, of which the dollar will be one. But not yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolley Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 "the 30th September could be looked back on in the future as being the start of WW3," It started way before that. The West created ISIS? That's a novel take, gerry. hardly novel x http://theweek.com/articles/444103/america-created-islamic-state-iraq-syria-meet-isis-truthers http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2015/05/newly-declassified-u-s-government-documents-the-west-supported-the-creation-of-isis.html http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-28745990 last one x http://www.therealstrategy.com/putin-exposes-obama/ All these prove is that IS was allowed to prosper as a result of the vacuum left Western meddling in the Middle East. That much is common knowledge. To try to twist it further to mean that the US actually created the IS we have now by design is classic internet conspiracy theorism. The whole thing is an almighty cock-up. They may well have agitated to create a buffer Islamic state to counterbalance Iranian and Syrian Shi-ites, but they certainly did not set out to create the monster that is extant now as is being suggested.

woolley Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Well that's the same as you then isn't it? You think that IS was created by the US because you believe what you are told by internet conspiracy theorists. I don't dispute that Western actions have contributed to the rise of IS. That much is obvious. At the same time, I don't believe for a minute that IS as it is was conceived and designed by the West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul's got wright Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 i made no claim but you showed your naivety and i pointed it out that's all. I say what I think, you can't say it for me can you. how could you know that i think the us created isis? especially when i don't. i'm just aware of the info. no need to pick a belief. your opinions, however green they may be, are welcome. but when your wrong just admit it x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinahand Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Keep an eye on September 2015, it could be interesting. The wise have been hording precious metals for some time now, when the financial system crashes later this month, or early October others will have wished they had done so also. The interesting September is finally here, there are still a couple of weeks to stock up on storable food, being on an island that relies on food shipment wont be a pretty site... Edit...LOL my first doom post is post number 666 As for the markets, they are complex and heavily manipulated also, ... Predictions are difficult with this purely due to the artificial propping up that it keeps getting ... October the 13th is a good day in their calendar, its fits in well with the rituals that they have been performing lately, so lets call it a failed prediction on the 14th of October..If nothing happens then I am wrong and the BBC is right and we are on the road to recovery, but somehow I just don't see it that way..I love the way you say "10% Correction" are you in the industry by chance? I'm not to bothered about a financial collapse 13th is the big day apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzzi Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 You know, there could be a collapse on 13th October, although I doubt the credibility of some of these 'days' sometimes. http://www.awarenessdays.co.uk/awareness-days-calendar/national-no-bra-day/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abhiu3 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 The expectation is for a collapse of the financial system. Not a zombie apocalypse. I am sure that people will react badly anyway, even though it's a fictional system that has failed. You just need the essentials to get by for a few weeks, you don't want to be looking through bins when Tesco is empty after 2 days. I suppose an isolated island full of hungry people could resemble a zombie apocalypse after a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
