Steve’s Barking; The rise of eco friendly companies

The latest thing in the stock market is save the planet stocks. Or as I state loser companies that don’t make any money and probably won’t make a profit in the near future and probably never will.
I’m thinking in the terms of companies such as Beyond Meat, which is like eating processed garbage but if you hate cow farts this company is a for you. I have to put Tesla into this category, people are impressed with an all electric car no matter how unsafe it is. There are other car makers that make electric cars but Tesla was the first in modern era so one must delude oneself and buy stock in a company that will never be truly profitable. Oh by the way electric cars were in the good old USA in the early 1900s. No Tesla wasn’t the first.
So all yea who want to buy stocks in eco friendly company that go against the grain of  normal smart investing, and buy what you perceive as fell good stories, be my guest, that’s what this country is all about.

Steve’s Barking; How about choosing someone who can run he country

I’m getting annoyed with those Democrats who are are asking that the Democrats biggest criteria is someone who can beat the present President. Hell, given 200 million dollars I could beat the current President, WhatIs really needed is someone who can win and run the country given the slow people in Congress, and the disastrous way this country is headed.

Steve’s Barking; Safety against malware.

Several towns in the great State of Texas were hit by  ransom ware.
There are certain precautions that town, cities and utilities should take.
1. Don’t use the cloud. Hacking into the cloud is not impossible.
2. Use  Ethernet to communicate between computers, it’s much more difficult to hack into a closed circuit then over the air.
3. Check any devises for any unauthorized programs.
4. If you’re using voting machines try to make them stand alone, it’s almost impossible to hack into a stand alone machine. Any  malfeasance would be done by those who programmed the machines.

Steve’s barking; Maybe were looking at trade all wrong!

How do we look at trade?
Do we count having a military base in a foreign country as trade? I know I do. I count it as an import.
Having a Starbucks, Yum brands, and Walmart in foreign countries, guess what that’s an export. If one includes brands that are overseas trade isn’t as one sided as we’ve been told.
Should we count money that is invested from one countries business and  individuals  to another country as an export as I do, then he United States is not a being ripped off in trade, the US is holding its own.

If we have a lower unemployment  rate then our trading partners, we’re not being taken advantage of in trade.

Steve’s Barking; Good sign for the economy, the currency is high!

Are we crazy?
We Americans are complaining that our currency is going up compared to the rest of the worlds currencies. Our currency is going up because the rest of the world is experiencing an economic slow down. With negative interest rates on bonds, and slow downs in economic growth throughout the world, one would have to expect Europeans would be investing in the United States. In order to do this one would have to change their currency to dollars. Doing currency exchange the dollar would go
up. This is a great sign for a country to have  a strong currency.
The Chinese government is not doing anything more then Europe are doing to weaken it’s currency, so we should stop calling the Chinese currency manipulator. We don’t call Russia, the EU, or Argentina currency manipulators.
When it comes to currency being higher, energy is cheaper, raw materials are cheaper,  making building factories cheaper for those raw materials.
The United States with a 3.7%  (really less then 0%) wtf are demanding more jobs by devaluation of our currency. If the President had any brains he would take credit for a strong currency. He could easily say that America is great again under his watch.

Steve’s Barking; Losing the grip on world order

The world is going ape sh*t.
Protest in Hong Kong.
Protest in Moscow.
Negative interest rates on borrowing to finance world governments(WTF).
The President of the US has a negative IQ.
The end of days must be  approaching.
