You are paranoid. You remind me of David Koresh and Clive Bundy.

I use profits from various option plays to purchase firearms and ammunition. I will stock up on dry foods and medicines next. For post apocalyptic purposes. All that needs to happen is the electric grid to fail or even as simple as the smartphones stop working. Panic and dangerous behavior is just below the surface of this supposed civilized world.

“You remind me of the BB stock bulls that believe all the stories that pumpers put out even as you lose all your money, you still believe the lies.“

Many of the lefties here lost everything on speculative penny stock-plays. These are the same tame-capitalists that demand free health-care, free-lunches and free-education to the PhD level. After Koan lost all his bananas to smarter Canadian monkeys he left for Vegas to be a poker King. Next stop Panama.

I thnk this is jsut the beginning Dave.

Oil $135 tonight even with the Saudi comments about raising production. What I have read is they only have high sulfer heavy oil available (2 million barrels a day) and not enough refineries to take it. 10 million now plus 2 million makes the 12 million they are talking about

I think they are jawboning.

Oxford Professor: Helping refugees locally is 135 times cheaper than helping them in the West

According to Oxford professor Paul Collier, Western countries can help more than one hundred refugees locally, for the same money we spend here on one of them.

The professor spoke at a conference of Denmark’s Social Democracy party in Copenhagen last week. He rejected the idea that Europe should receive migrants and said:

“We spend 135 dollars for every person who shows up here, compared to one dollar for every person that we help in their own region. Those staying home are often much weaker than the ones who have the resources to get to Europe.”

Collier also made a statement about the migrants and refugees who come to Europe:

“Almost everyone coming to Europe from countries where they were already safe… The idea that this group has an enormous need for help, is simply irresponsible and a result of intellectual laziness.”

Paul Collier is Professor of Economics and Director of the Centre for the Study of African Economies, Oxford University. He has previously served as Director of the Development Research Group at the World Bank.

Currently he is Advisor to the Strategy and Policy Department of the IMF, advisor to the Africa Region of the World Bank; and he has advised the British Government on its recent White Paper on economic development policy.
