I wish i had io think we called the top pretty accurate, at the moment the retracement pattern looks like a 4th wave after yesterdays drop, if the price drops lower the 9000 then i see it going back to zero.

very much doubt that many of the general public would have heard of the term Neo-liberal Capitalism.
Indeed even quite a few people on varying bbs that consider themselves investors may not understand the term yet this policy is what has defined our political and economic life throughout the last how ever many years.
All the general public know is how it has affected their daily lives and to deny that is to ignore reality.
What they tell you in the many articles that 'it is good for the economy or is good for the country is just 'speak'.
I am so fed up with interpretations and clever use of words justifying the current policies that I have sought more fact-based and policy driven explanations for these things to make some understanding of the mess we are in.
The conclusions I have come to is that they believe everything is fine because deregulation helps Wall Street.
Competition is good and so what if inequality prevails and we undo all the hard work of previous generations?
I have gained much understanding from Kotz,his work and conclusions are referenced here and the sooner we get rid of this global aberration the better I think.




'The neoliberal economic model of capitalism creates large asset bubbles that result in crises and suffering on a global scale'. Kotz.

He identified three modern developments that define this system.....
1 growing inequality,within the capitalist process between wages and profits,and within society as a whole among households.
2. A financial sector that became increasingly absorbed in speculative and risky activities.
3.A series of large asset bubbles.
What this means is that this current generation will not realise a promise of a better life.

IT IS NOT THAT THE MONEY ISN'T THERE BUT THAT IT IS SHIFTED INTO DIFFERENT HANDS.

NEO LIBERAL Capitalism is the deregulation of business and finance .The reduction of active Government macroeconomic policy unrestrained competition among large corporations amongst many things.
Volcker says you have a situation in the US where there has been almost no growth in real income for the average family for 10 to 15 years .2011.

'Financial speak therefore functions to mask the essential truth that neo-capitalism perpetually siphons out of the working class and into Wall Street'!!

66257 and 66258 Thank you.
Very thought provoking posts,phrased far-better than I could have done.


It comes back to the policies laid out in the Neo-liberal Capitalism agenda as far as I'm concerned.

Following on re hydroponics -

The Thanet company said the limiting factor is the amount of light the greenhouses receive. In the not too distant future solar energy costs will fall significantly. In addition Graphene enhanced batteries will allow low cost energy storage.
When this all comes together the work being done at the plant research centre at Norwich will have a big impact. They used LED lights projecting only the blue and red spectrum (plants don't absorb green light)and shone them for 22 hrs/day. Using this process they grew six generations of barley/peas in 1 year. I assume the same benefits would accrue with greenhouse crops.

"Drug developer ImmuPharma (IMM) is expecting Phase III results in the first quarter of 2018 for lupus treatment Lupuzor. Analysts speculate the drug could hit multi-billion dollar annual sales if the tests are successful and the drug gets approved by the regulators."


This promising small-cap stock could be a millionaire maker in 2018
Paul Summers
Tue. 26/12/2017



The suggestion that a single stock could lead some investors to become millionaires next year may sound fanciful but I think this is quite possible if events work out for small-cap drug discovery and development firm ImmuPharma (LSE: IMM). Let me explain.

Blockbuster potential

Over the last three months, shares in the AIM-listed company have climbed more than 200% in value as anticipation grows over the outcome of a Phase III clinical trial for Lupuzor — its 100%-owned potential treatment for Lupus.

Approximately five million people are believed to suffer from the chronic and potentially life-threatening autoimmune disease that can be a notoriously difficult to treat. In the last 50 years, only one therapy — GlaxoSmithKline‘s Benlysta — has been approved for use, despite its questionable efficacy and serious side-effects. In 2015, the drug achieved sales of over $400m. By 2020, this figure is expected to rise to $1bn.

Positively, data from Lupuzor’s Phase IIb trial indicated that ImmuPharma’s treatment — which modulates rather than blocks the immune system — was both effective and safe. Moreover, the effectiveness of Lupuzor increased even after the three-month trial’s conclusion. Investors will be hoping that the 52-week, randomised and double-blinded study currently in progress (involving patients in the US, Europe and Mauritius) yields similar results.

In its most recent update on 21 December, the company revealed that all 200 participants had now received the full 12-month dosage and that the “robust safety record” shown in earlier trials continues to be seen. According to Chairman Tim McCarthy, the company looks forward “with continued confidence” to reporting on top-line results in Q1 of next year.

In the event of a positive outcome, ImmuPharma will then seek to exploit its Fast Track designation and push for approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Once received, the company would then be free to seek out a global licensing deal for taking Lupuzor to market or — perhaps more likely — consider takeover bids by deep-pocketed pharmaceutical giants at a price befitting its blockbuster potential. Given the suggestion that it could be used in the treatment of other diseases, the price could easily be in the billions of pounds. Right now, ImmuPharma’s market cap is a little over £200m.

To her credit the political editor of the Guardian went around Labour's heartlands with their MP's in the run up to the EU referendum and she said everywhere they went people were aggressively shouting at them for OUT.

The inability to control EU immigration and its impact on jobs, public services and wage suppression after Labour unleashed a 10 fold increase (the only EU nation other than Sweden not to limit it through a 10 year transitional arrangement with Poland) without consulting the electorate has infuriated working class communities up and down the country.

This guy from Yorkshire on BBC's QT probably sums up the feeling of many of the communities that voted for Brexit in June 2016 - a year that saw an astonishing 825,000 new National Insurance numbers issued to people born outside the UK.



Appallingly biased Dimbleby to BBC QT producer after the show "How the hell did he get through the vetting process? Heads will need to roll for this !"

The EU is not a country, it is a 'benign' organisation which can only obtain the legitimacy of a country by absorbing the other countries which it has invaded,destroying their identity and reducing what is presently called a country, to an economic area.This a non violent version of ISIS, though the end result would be similar.

That can be the only justification for the EU's existence, because it is otherwise just a huge and corrupt civil service, duplicating what already exists, but which doesn't even operate from a level playing field.

I believe in the nation state,having proved its worth over aeons,certainly as far as the UK is concerned.
A country whose laws are made outside the country is a slave state.
A country which can't control its own borders, can't really call itself a country.

AIMO, of course.

My wife told me that she recently heard someone on Question Time, saying that he had never spoken to anybody at Yale was it, (?) who was in favour of Brexit. If true, it is a prime example of the bubble people who have no conception of what the ordinary person in the street thinks, the very group of people who have been most damaged by the madness of the EU.

If you want to see how the EU works read - Adults In The Room: My Battle With Europe’s Deep Establishment Yanis Varoufakis.

An amazing book, everyone should read it before supporting/opposing the EU.

I once thought in my naïve idealistic days
that the nation state and nationalism was
increasingly bad way to organise our world

- that the future would be increasingly multilateral
and globalised where each of us had an obligation
to the poor and the benefits of technology would
be shared freely for the whole world.

Now the global institutions are mistrusted, globalism
is a dirty word and the concept of war has been
spread into cyberspace. Into this mix step up the
EU which is aiming to replace the nation state model
with a regional bloc - that is exclusive, inward looking,
incredibly protectionist, and ruthless towards its
disadvantaged citizens. It has no liberal constitution
like the US with its fundamental constitutional protections
and a rule of law. Don't get me wrong the US model is
also deeply flawed, especially if you are Black. But the
EU is worse in every respect.

I am not saying EU Politicians are better btw. They are not. What I am saying is that most voters vote for whoever is telling them what they want to hear at any given time whilst conveniently overlooking how it works financially. I think most understand that there is a cost for everything but they don't care so long as they are not personally asked to foot the bill.

MTI don't think it was any secret really. Not being a United States of Europe has always been the reason why critics would say it was doomed to failure. If anything the guy is just being honest. For anyone looking at the European Union project, even a non European, that route is the most obvious long term solution. It's common sense.I have always viewed Europe as a project with the potential to benefit our grandchildren rather than ourselves. The prize is worth having imo but there is no free lunch. The problem is, we live in a society which a) Has no sense of long term, b) has even less sense of the greater good and finally c) is so greedy for a better standard of living today at any cost that they will even steal the future wealth of their grandchildren in order to achieve it and by that I mean vote for any politician who will promise them what they want regardless of how it is going to be paid for.As the saying goes, "The people get the Politicians they deserve".Hardly surprising then that we have Brexit.

United States of Europe: German minister unveils shocking EU vision to TAKE OVER continent

German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel revealed his shocking vision of the future that would see the European Union completely control the continent.

The fervently pro-EU politician suggested European countries in the future will only be able to exercise self-control through the European Union.

He said: "In the world of the 21st Century, Europe will only be able to act on a sovereign basis via the European Union, by winning back sovereignty through the European Union.

"Even Germany, big and strong as it is, in tomorrow’s world will not have a voice by itself. Our children and grandchildren will have the choice of having no voice to be heard or a common European voice."

He had been speaking at a conference detailing the next seven-year budget of the EU, following speeches by EU Commissioner Jean-Claude Juncker.

Explaining his vision, Mr Gabriel called for further integration between EU member states to better "defend the interests" of their citizens and further stabilise the European Union.

He said: "There is no loss of sovereignty by being part of the European Union. There may be a loss of sovereignty when it comes to shaping life in Europe if we did not have a European Union and if nation states by themselves had to defend the interests of their population."

The move towards a so-called 'United States of Europe' would also create yet more bureaucracy with the creation of a new EU electoral authority which would regulate the electoral lists.

Guy Verhofstadt, the Brexit coordinator for the European Parliament and leading critic of Britain’s decision to leave the EU, welcomed Mr Juncker’s plans with excitement.

The Belgian MEP pledged his support to the EU Commissioner's federalist plans to integrate Brussels' law further into the socio-economic frameworks of member states.

Mr Verhofstadt said: "I have to confess something, that each time I have heard these proposals – the State of the Union, your agenda – I felt an excitement.

But the proposals are causing nervousness in wealthier member states who fear being dragged into debt pooling that forms a key plank of federalists’ proposed reform of the eurozone.'


Predictably, not a word of German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel's speech is to be found on the BBC or Guardian websites - the UK populace is sadly reliant on the Daily Express of all journals to keep us briefed on EU matters post the Brexit referendum!
