Regarding Apple now paying taxes, nothing to do with "Trumponomics":
(from Neal's link): "The fuse was lit when Apple executives led by chief executive Tim Cook were summoned before a US senate committee in 2013 to be questioned on the structures used in relation to profits earned overseas. At the heart of this was a company which didn’t pay its taxes anywhere. Apple, the grand masters of tax planning, had invented a new trick – you might call it tax residency in the cloud. The fact that the company involved was incorporated in Ireland put us right bang in the middle of the story, of course And then came the 2016 European Commission decision that Ireland had given Apple illegal State aid in the way it dealt with the company’s tax affairs here. Apple owed Ireland €13 billion plus interest and penalties as a result, the commission concluded. Like many other big companies, Apple had pushed the tax game too far."

Couldn't agree more and I am now at the stage in life where I only invest in fixed rate savings bonds. The returns aren't as good but all the risk element is done away with and the smaller return is guaranteed.

My alarm bells started to ring when I watched at it all and realised that I found it impossible anymore to make reasonable assumptions on when the trend, upwards in past years, would change and reverse, maybe even quickly collapse. It was then when I bailed out, for staying engaged to me was not more than indeed purely gambling from then on. Since then I have transformed a lot of my treasure into mobile, anonymous real value. I may miss out on possible stockmarket gains meanwhile as long as the rally of the past years still continues. But I cannot get hit by any major market collapse, which tend to happen quickly and faster than you can react to as a private investor.
Also, as a small nice side-effect, I do not generate personal profits of which the state syndicate can benefit by blackmailing additional protection money. More than the protection money I get robbed of anyway, I mean. Following Austrian economic wisdom, I am prone to loose possible wins in stocks, yes. I know that, I am fully aware of that. But these wins - by staying engaged - now can only be realised by taking incalculatable (in my opinion) risks, with time probably running out. Staying engaged when chances for good and bad endings are 50:50 is not strategic thinking for me - that is gambling, and unpredictable in outcome and timing. Private American investors are fleeing from fonds in huge numbers since three months, btw. It has been taken close note of by professional traders.

We are again in a phase of crazy building projects, and this means no good. Mega-Skyscrapers Are A Sign Of Economic Collapse, no joke.
"Construction of the world’s tallest tower is usually a sign of hubris and overconfidence. And it’s often associated with bubbles." https://www.seeker.com/mega-skyscrap...240336126.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyscraper_Index

I hate Sonic commercials with the same two (2) dudes doing their ads, but I sure approve of their food. I didn't know they were worth that much though.

As in many other areas, I'm not an expert on world or states economy.
I know how to balance my own budget-but that's all. I am however convinced that, all these economical crashes we have had since the big one in 1929, is aftershock after this big crash in 1929. Well it's my own theory-Can't prove it. Markus |
