    FYI, US banks stocks were on fire after the Fed minutes came out. I'll let you figure out why.

    According to Fivelive it looks like UKIP is taking a lot of votes in Portsmouth from Labour. A Labour Councillor is on the radio now having a go at Corbyn.

    Will never happen due to the geopolitics if the world. We are in the US camp until hell freezes over or until the UK is a failed Islamic state. So, by 2050 then.

    USO is at an interesting junction. It could either be about to go very bullish or it is about to get very bearish. There is a train about to leave but it is unsure which direction to go in at the moment.

    Wish I had taken out that DWTI position. Oil futures currently down over 6% - under 38 bucks

    Saudis probably went short heavily on oil and on markets last week - probably will make a few billion on Monday. Edit: Was very tempted to go long DWTI on Friday evening but lost my bottle. This oil thing is all about how much the Saudis hate the Persians IMPO - and that hate knows no limits.

    The earthquake aftermath footage coming out of Japan is both shocking and amazing to look at. Roads disappeared, buildings collapsed. A dam that they are concerned will burst. A volcano that might now erupt again. Lots of dead people. Goodness know how many people trapped.
  9. The Masked Tulip
    Yep, since about just after the stockmarket bottomed.

    Global economy seems dependent upon the whims of a 30 year old Saudi Prince and what he wants to do re the oil price this weekend. Monday will either be a huge spike up day or the start of a crash. Ladies and gentlemen, place your bets.
  11. The Masked Tulip
    No one shorting oil before the weekend then?
  12. The Masked Tulip
    Seems that an awful lot of people are backing an oil deal in Doha this weekend. The Iranians do not seem to want to play ball and it would seem bizarre for Saudi to agree to any freeze or cuts after getting so close to driving lots of oil companies to the brink. One thing is for sure - come Monday the oil price should soar or crash. Be surprised if it just goes "Blah!".

    Something's up. Extraordinary Fed meeting today followed by Yellen and Obama having a hug and telling us that everything is fine.
  14. The Masked Tulip
    Apparently changing the name from 'TATA' to 'British Steel' will solve all the problems. Why didn't anyone think of this sooner?

    Bearer bonds?

    I can remember the days - back in the 70s and 80s - when if you were an actor or pop star that went overseas to avoid tax you were basically ostracised by the establishment here. 2 or 3 decades later and you get knighthoods, damehoods or BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards and stuff.

    Icelandic PM just resigned. Rumours of a canoe last seen heading towards Panama have not been confirmed.

    Don't forget, years ago wikileaks said that they had CDs of data of rich people who had been allegedly hiding money, IIRC, in some European banks and they were going to release it bit by bit. Then that guy got holed up in that embassy and I don't recall hearing anything about these names and their financial info being published.

    Seems to be targetted at Putin and Chinese leaders whilst throwing in a bunch of dictators, arabs who will not care a jot, a handful of Brits. Seems to be too limited in the numbers of Brits, Westerners generally and no Americans.
  20. The Masked Tulip
    Perhaps.

    Interesting commentary on USD liquidity and house prices in the US. http://www.kereport.com/2016/04/04/liquidity-trap/
  22. The Masked Tulip
    Everything is sorted. The Welsh Assembly had a meeting all day today and ended up offering a grant of 30 million and a loan of 30 million. Not really playing with the big boys are they?
  23. The Masked Tulip
    Yes, but there must have been plenty of Soviet Union military, KGB, etc, just slush funds around at the time that just disappeared. In some way I don't blame some of them - they saw their country disintergrating around them. It probably was everyone for themselves. On the the other hand, any money like that could have aided the people who went through terrible times.
  24. The Masked Tulip
    I think the interesting thing re Putin is that this leak alleges that he and his mates took KGB Communist Party money to set all this up - presumably there were lots of Communists Party accounts/funds around at the time when the USSR was imploding and hence, if true, that would be money belonging to the people of Russia?

    Iranians refusing to freeze production - that can't be good for when oil begins trading. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-04-03/iran-oil-minister-rejects-saudi-demand-freeze-crude-production
