Sincerely, -RM ANSWER: Gold was on schedule to decline. Even the oscillators are still negative. The fundamentals are gathered from time to time and selected to fit the […]

Many people will jump and say the multinationals should be paying more taxes so go get them. The problem that arises is a legal one. Since a corporation is not a living person, then where was it born for tax purposes? If we suddenly change the rules and say corporations owe worldwide taxes in every […]

COMMENT:  Martin, Thank you for the laugh over your consoling words of “Cheer-up! We have a front row seat” in your bleak piece entitled, “The Elections for 2014 Are All About Creating a Dictatorship”. Talk about gallows humor!
