Read the memo from a Black history professor at UC-Berkley to find out what your really supporting, and it is not helping.

Actually it has already helped. Do you not keep up with the news?

Zero Hedge covered it, if that is what you are asking.

I heard they need TP, vegan meals, and lattes in the CHAZ. A good weekend project to demonstrate one’s solidarity with the movement. While there make sure you have your canned BLM slogans for either graffiti or demonstrating the loyalty oath. :-)

I think it was Bob Dylan who advised, 'don't criticize what you can't understand.'

Actually, I know it.

Igy, you’ve shat the bed on the one with your tone deafness. Quit digging before the hole gets too deep to climb out of.

Seattle,

On a different topic what do you think of a bunch of anarchists taking over a part of your city? Seems pretty weird to me.

Igy

Maybe one reason some people are against the Autonomous Zone is because they have been lied to. That's right. Check out this story about Fox News grossly misrepresenting the Capitol hill Autonomous Zone with unethical photographs and misleading reports. Unbelievable, but here's the proof, and see for yourself:

Anyone who thinks the protests haven’t had an effect is either tone deaf or being purposely obtuse. This is now a worldwide phenomenon with real changes being made as a result. Get your head out of the sand, Igy.

Good grief .... can I go nowhere to get away from you leftists trying to virtue signal? Can’t you stick to financials in this thread?

Yes, I‘ll leave it alone, but the hole has been dug in one of the most liberal cities in American. On this point I clearly understand.

A lot of people are bullish I think on activity returning to normal by end of year. Oil got crushed like never before so I don't it being at $36 as an issue really. For TIPS, what do you mean by "rising?" Looks mostly flat to me

look at the chart of TIP or STPZ or SCHP. going vert.

ok I see what you mean - probably the dividends have flattened the price of the ETFs.

To see how the return of TIPS has moved up let's look at total return regular treasuries vs TIPS:

Returns for one month:

SCHR (intermediate term treasuries): 0.08% (duration 5.2 years)

STPZ: 1.03% (duration 3.0 years)

When short term TIPS move up that fast in excess of regular treasuries...you have to think there is unexpected inflation starting to flow through the system.

Sure, but the comment was in response to a right wing Igy who raised the question. So perhaps your request should be addressed to the right, who again, brought up the discussion by asking me what i thought. Follow?

I not anymore right wing than you are a left wing anarchist.

Earnings Scorecard: For Q2 2020 (with 3 companies in the S&P 500 reporting actual results), 3 S&P 500 companies have reported a positive EPS surprise and 2 S&P 500 companies have reported a positive revenue surprise

I am not an anarchist. To suggest so is foolish.

Zero Hedge is right wing. To suggest otherwise is equally as foolish.

Are you familiar with Zero Hedge, by any chance?

Zerohedge is Libertarian, not right wing, CHAZ is anarchist by definition. Don’t criticize what you don’t understand. By the way, I am a big Bob Dylan fan attending my first concert in 1965 at age 14. :-)

Zerohedge is both Right Wing and Libertarian. And you largely started all this in your need to disparage others who have risen up to make real change. The rest of us weren't putting anybody down, but you certainly were. And the only left leaning discourse was telling you to stop interfering with people's rights to express themselves how they see fit.

Did you listen to the lyrics at the Dylan concert?
