Bravo Zulu to the people of Great Britain for deciding to kick those worthless EU bureaucrats out of their lives. Though from what I’ve read, it seems Scotland in the main voted to stay in the EU. I’m not surprised. Since the 13th...
Something interesting happened on Friday; trading volume exploded on a decline in the Dow Jones. In the BEV chart below I inserted the daily trading volume (mils) for the Dow Jones instead of the usual BEV values to highlight what...
