Topicel,

I thought that a "pied noir" was someone who was European French, was born in North Africa, specifically Algeria. The only time I have heard a French person use it was was to imply that another French person was right wing and non-progressive.

DT! It don't give me, you or anyone "higher knowledge" as a result of where we live, but it gives me an advantage and better insight.

No doubt you live somewhere which has local issues that you would have more insight into than others? Not a problem if you then speak from experience and informed opinion to me, and as an investor who places bets on things I'm very surprised you're disinclined to consider what I'm saying...

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and to be wrong when giving it. That's life. We will indeed see if Madame Le Penn wins. Apart from the pied noire not voting for her, how many French men do you think would stand for la femme running the place?

Forget the politics and get real. It is not about who lives where but understanding the psyche of a nation which comes from living here for a dozen years.

One thing is for sure. If the Dutch or French results were to go in favour of the populist/right candidates in as much as they became Prime Minister or President, I'd be perfectly content as the euro would be shuddering and PMs rocketing.

Suits us all, non?

"Dutch fella" aka geert wilders aka jimmy page (😉) nailed on to get most votes but won't be pm. Ditto le pen in the 2nd round, malhereusment...

[onedayrodders] 22/2/2017 20:45

and the Dutch fella

[onedayrodders] 22/2/2017 20:44

I also think Le Pen will win

[dt1010] 22/2/2017 20:24

Top you dude were the one who mentioned where you lived as if to prove higher knowledge.

You will see you are wrong though, when Le Penn wins.

Remember everyone is entitled to their opinion of course ;)

Breaktwister - look at stockhouse.com bulletin boards.

Maybe DT you should not worry about who lives where but research the French electoral system.

Do you think the pied noire are gonna vote for her? And since 1962 they are more numerous than original French in many areas with a basic love of France as open and welcoming...

Le Penn is a rallying point a la Monsieur Farage, but not a threat electorally for power any more than he was/is.

ODR, the coverage is not that much other than for Macron coming to London to speak with his 'constituency' who can vote that live in the UK. 700,000 of them is worth the effort, n'est pas?

He is favourite as the bookies say and he is centrist and pro-Brussels with modifications. Like Mrs May really without the tied hands!

Anyhow, as you know the MSM have had some shocks lately so just want to make it clear to anyone who cares that Le Penn is a threat not in so much as she can win but in the political clout she will have if France National gets 25-30%. That is the fear, not her becoming President but her followers needing to be heard.

Again, a bit like Mrs May's dilemma - she has to listen to the way people voted.

France is far too cosmopolitan still away from the countryside to vote in any way other than traditionally. Let's leave it to the Dutch to have a hung parliament and then the Italians for the real ructions anti-Brussels...

Does anyone know of any good boards for US stocks? I dont normally trade outside the UK but took a nibble on SLW (silver wheaton) via a spreadbet recently and have been surprised at the weakness given the strength of silver.

[stevea171] 22/2/2017 16:45

ODR. Yes, pretty obvious to anyone watching but they like to see confirmation coming from 'an expert' - Turk. Only then will they believe the evidence of their own eyes .... !!

[onedayrodders] 22/2/2017 16:41

steve and all .. this is a good listen which at the beginning touches on inflation beginning to take hold in the US and how 0.25 int rate rises are futile when inflation starts to soar away. Later on he picks out moments when Yellen was challenged on the job numbers and why the young are still living at home and why there productivity growth is so slow.



For those that don't follow Peter Schiff he was riduculed for years on CNBC for predicting the sub prime disaster.

Top man and I listen to every podcat as it breaks down all the noise into simple to understand facts.

IMHO

[dt1010] 22/2/2017 16:35

Le Pen will win. That is rubbish that it is impossible for her to win. Matters nothing if you live in France FFS. I live on the the other side of the channel lol, thankfully.

Mark these words.

[onedayrodders] 22/2/2017 16:34

Steve .. Turk said they were the battle lines

Here's hoping

[onedayrodders] 22/2/2017 16:33

meanwhile on CNBC Bubble vision some are saying BUY EVERYTHING

[stevea171] 22/2/2017 16:21

Clif High: Hyper inflation coming to the US this year in the second half. The population embarks on a second gold rush harking back to 1845 in California.

The dollar is doomed. The US will have a 10-20 year period to reconstitute itself similar to what happened in Russia after the break up of the Soviet Union.

[stevea171] 22/2/2017 16:10

All day, all night, every day now ..... the Cartel trying to stop $18 silver and $1240 gold.

Desperate or what?!!

Pardon moi, Thanks for the politics lesson.

If it's that 'slam dunked' why all the air time and media coverage

[saturdaygirl] 22/2/2017 13:56

Gold stepping up to line once more

[stevea171] 22/2/2017 13:55

ODR, Topicel. re PM charts not being displayed. Have you tried clearing down cache/buffer areas. I think it's to do with this.
