Stocks Jimmy Higher Off Crude Fantasies, And Working From Home

OPEC promised to cut more of their wretched production, giving a boost to crude this morning, higher by 2%. All of my commodity related shares are spiking today — just another day at the home office.

Any of you fuckers work from home? It’s probably the single worst thing that you can do for your business. At first the idea sounds so alluring, being able to work hard from the home office and gracefully loaf about in your bathrobe all day whilst listening to Bach. But then, after awhile, delirium begins to set in. You’ll start talking to the walls and a true sense of cabin fever will afflict you. Your pallor will resemble a glass of 2% milk and your social life will be reduced to annual visits to the doctor for physicals, and unscheduled visits to the front of the house to shovel snow off the damned driveway.

In other words, your life will be ruined.

I’ve only made it this long, having worked from home since 2005, because I’ve been blogging like the wind — plus I’m probably a little crazy. Instead of greeting my neighbors in the morning, I scowl at them and I always give bad stock picks to them on purpose, as a way to teach them a lesson to leave me alone.

I never gave a shit about the whole Milo movement and will not waste time to defend whatever the hell he said that just pissed so many people off. I am grateful for Milo for one reason, however. For too long the conservatards were led around by religious fools who obsessed over gay people and abortion. Later we’d find out the most vocal opponents were both gay and avid abortion practitioners. People are seriously fucked. Milo showed conservatards that not all gay people had aids and wanted to rape them. Obviously, any revelation that connects Milo to condoning pedophilia is an abomination — and he should be ruined for saying such things. His demeanor has always been flippant, changeable and careless. He tried to explain the ordeal with a Facebook statement posted below.

Since the controversy began, his book deal has been canceled, CPAC invitation revoked, and Breitbart is considering a swift shit-canning.

Here was Milo’s statement.

I am a gay man, and a child abuse victim.

I would like to restate my utter disgust at adults who sexually abuse minors. I am horrified by pedophilia and I have devoted large portions of my career as a journalist to exposing child abusers. I’ve outed three of them, in fact — three more than most of my critics. And I’ve repeatedly expressed disgust at pedophilia in my feature and opinion writing. My professional record is very clear.

But I do understand that these videos, even though some of them are edited deceptively, paint a different picture.

I’m partly to blame. My own experiences as a victim led me to believe I could say anything I wanted to on this subject, no matter how outrageous. But I understand that my usual blend of British sarcasm, provocation and gallows humor might have come across as flippancy, a lack of care for other victims or, worse, “advocacy.” I deeply regret that. People deal with things from their past in different ways.

As to some of the specific claims being made, sometimes things tumble out of your mouth on these long, late-night live-streams, when everyone is spit-balling, that are incompletely expressed or not what you intended. Nonetheless, I’ve reviewed the tapes that appeared last night in their proper full context and I don’t believe they say what is being reported.

I do not advocate for illegal behavior. I explicitly say on the tapes that I think the current age of consent is “about right.”

I do not believe sex with 13-year-olds is okay. When I mentioned the number 13, I was talking about the age I lost my own virginity.

I shouldn’t have used the word “boy” — which gay men often do to describe young men of consenting age — instead of “young man.” That was an error.

I am certainly guilty of imprecise language, which I regret.

Anyone who suggests I turn a blind eye to illegal activity or to the abuse of minors is unequivocally wrong. I am implacably opposed to the normalization of pedophilia and I will continue to report and speak accordingly.

Obviously, this  a story that was timed for maximum effect — in light of his recent appearance on Bill Maher’s HBO libtard carnivale and the left’s obsession with all things Breitbart due to Bannon’s presence in the White House.

Attended by Mayor Deblasio and all of NYC elites and celebrities, New Yorkers set out to prove to the muslim world that they too are tolerant enough to cede and heel to the intolerance of Islamic law. The sweet and indelible irony in all of this tolerance is that it promotes retrograde level intolerance — that if given enough room to grow and flourish — will literally render all of these leftists extinct.

I call this ‘suicide via liberalism.’

In the following countries sodomy is a capital offense: Afghanistan, Brunei, Iran, Iraq, Mauritania, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, United Arab Emirates and Yemen.

In Algeria, Bahrain, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Somalia, Tunisia, Syria and Bahrain, ‘debauchery’ is often met with prison terms up to 10 years.

In Indonesia, women interested in joining the military need to undergo the 2 finger test, to ensure virginity.

In Sudan, women are punished with 40 lashes for wearing trousers — as that sort of garb is deemed unsuitable for a female. In Pakistan, men are permitted to ‘lightly beat’ their wives as a form of discipline.

The helter skelter insanity of laws in different Islamic countries around the world are rooted in religious intolerance where Islam reigns over them with the cerements of oppression. Some of the core tenets of classic liberalism used to be women’s rights, gay rights and separation of Church and State. The modern day version of liberalism eschews vintage activism for human rights in exchange for wanton support of religious extremism that is the essence of intolerance and produces nothing but failed states and dystopian nightmares everywhere it is implemented.

Nothing seems to be able to rattle markets, not Trump, not the specter of World War 3, not the rise of Marine Le Pen — who is literally promising to tell both NATO and the EU to fuck off. Does anyone have any idea what this would for the new world order? Without France, I very much doubt Italy would stay in the EU. As such, the EU will be rendered null and void — casting out shit countries, like Greece, into the wilderness to be savaged by Turk invaders.

Monday’s daily OpinionWay poll showed that first-round support for anti-euro candidate Le Pen rose 1 percentage point to 27 percent, with Macron and Republican Francois Fillon unchanged at 20 percent each. While no surveys so far have shown Le Pen even close to a victory in May’s run-off, she’s quickly narrowing the gap to her rivals. OpinionWay showed Macron would defeat Le Pen by 58 percent to 42 percent in the second round. His advantage has halved in less than two weeks.

Le Pen is up sharply in the latest polls. Markets don’t give a shit — pressing higher into the doldrums of final execution.

French bond yields are 1/3rd the level they were back in 2011, the last time the EU was on the precipice of disaster.

Le Pen’s chief competitor is named after a buttery pastry. Macron is under harsh criticism from an uncucked public after making anti-French remarks regarding their colonialist past — calling France’s rule over Algeria a ‘crime against humanity.’

Truth be told, the barbarous French killed over a million Algerians during their 132-year reign over the North African people. Nevertheless, in light of his slippage in the polls, sweet Macron was forced to apologize.

“I am sorry to have offended you, to have hurt you,” Macron said on Saturday in the southeastern city of Toulon, responding to criticism of his comments from French nationals who had to leave Algeria in 1962.

“But we must face this common, complex past if we want to move on and get along,” he said, alluding to historical links between Algeria and France, where many citizens hold both nationalities.

This is France today — thanks to the advent of multi-culturalism.

Freeport has the rights to mine in the world’s second largest copper mine in broke ass Indonesia and have been under increased pressure to fork over more money, which in turn has all but shut down the mine and forced them to lay off workers.

What did you expect FCXfags? The fucking mine is in the jungles of Indonesia. It’s only a matter of time before the company kicks out all of those white males and mines the stuff themselves.

As a result, the company is warning of material downside to sales and even attempted to rope in the US govt by saying millions of investors own $FCX via retirement plans. Hahahaha

You stupid shits. Fund managers will sell all of your stock at the first sign of danger, all but castrating your ploy to involve the government.

Face it Freeport: you’re fucked.

U.S. mining giant Freeport-McMoRan Inc warned on Monday it could take the Indonesian government to arbitration and seek damages over a contractual dispute that has halted operations at the world’s second-biggest copper mine.
In an escalation of the dispute, Freeport Chief Executive Richard Adkerson also said the company’s local unit had made its first layoffs since negotiations started in January over a new mining permit, and it may let go more workers this week.

The row, which centers around the sanctity of Freeport’s 30-year mining contract, comes as Indonesia seeks to squeeze more revenue out of its mining industry through a shake-up of regulations over foreign ownership and ore processing.

“Right now we are at an impasse with the government,” Adkerson told a news conference in Jakarta.

Freeport has been at loggerheads with Indonesia over the terms of a special mining permit to replace its contract of work, after halting its exports of copper concentrate due to the new mining rules.

On Friday, the miner said it could not meet contractual obligations for copper concentrate shipments from the mine following a five-week export stoppage. Last week, all work was stopped at Freeport’s giant Grasberg mine in the eastern Indonesian province of Papua.

Assuming the export ban continues and operations resume at a local smelter in March, Freeport estimated its first-quarter sales would be reduced by around 170 million pounds of copper and 270,000 ounces of gold. That is equal to a reduction of some 17 percent in Freeport’s total first-quarter copper sales and 59 percent in gold sales, the company said in a statement later on Monday.

The Gresik smelter was forced to halt operations on Jan. 19 because of a labor strike.

“At the end of that period if this dispute is not resolved we reserve the right … to commence arbitration,” Adkerson said. “I sincerely hope we can find a compromise.”

The company also warned of “severe unfavorable consequences for all stakeholders” if no resolution is reached.

“Do they want business or a lawsuit?” Indonesia’s mining minister, Ignasius Jonan, asked in remarks to reporters on Monday, responding to Freeport’s warning that it could take the dispute to arbitration.

“Millions of U.S. citizens indirectly invest in Freeport with their savings accounts and their retirement plans,” Adkerson said. “So what happens … will be a matter of interest for the U.S. government.”

The stock is up like a thousand percent from the lows of 2016. There is plenty of downside here.

As the country loafs about gracefully celebrating the birthday of George Washington, base metals are mcExploding to the upside. Can you believe it?

European markets are casually higher and Dow futures are up 36. I look forward to vengeance tomorrow, claiming scalps and making a little money in the process — as maraud and plunder, then maraud again, to my heart’s desire.

The joke bid $KHC perpetuated for all of $UL last week has been withdrawn, after the mayofags at Unilever told the ketchup goons at Kraft-Heinz to buzz off.

Clearly, no one wants a single company to control all of the comdiments. No matter how many boxes of macaroni and cheese and jars of relish the executives at Kraft-Heinz threw at the cucks at Unilever, they’d never surrender. Uniting Heinz ketchup and Hellman’s mayonnaise is one of the 66 seals of hell. Therefore, we should all view this rejection by Unilever as a win for mankind, equal to that of a Trump victory over Hillary Clinton, or allied win over the evil bastards from Japan.

“Unilever and Kraft Heinz hold each other in high regard,” the companies said. “Kraft Heinz has the utmost respect for the culture, strategy and leadership of Unilever.”

But Michael Mullen, a Kraft Heinz spokesman, offered more detail on why the company had stepped away so soon from its bid. “Kraft Heinz’s interest was made public at an extremely early stage,” he said. “Our intention was to proceed on a friendly basis, but it was made clear Unilever did not wish to pursue a transaction.”

“It is best to step away early so both companies can focus on their own independent plans to generate value,” he added.

Both stocks soared on Friday. Be sure to roast marshmallows over them when they crash and burn on Tuesday.

Back to the drawing board ketchup goons. We all look forward to reading about another FAKE takeover offer in our FAKE newspapers.

During the Bill Maher carnival show this Friday, Milo (his last name is fucked) was accosted by ‘terrorism expert’, Malcolm Nance, who told him to ‘fuck off’ and laughed at him at even thinking about preferring Russia to our dear allies and alleged financiers of global terrorism, Saudi Arabia.

Milo didn’t get a chance to reply, but he was likely going to point out the retrograde human rights violations that Saudi Arabia implements during their casual course of life, anti women, anti gay, anti anything but Islam ideologies. When juxtaposed against Saudi Arabia, Russia is a beacon of human rights and liberalism, until now.

The House of Saud has proven its detractors wrong again, proudly announcing it has appointed an actual female, who is very likely to have been vaginally mutilated, as is customary in those parts, to a top position in finance.

Fuck you Saudi haters. Take that.

Saudi Arabia’s Samba Financial Group named Rania Mahmoud Nashar as chief executive officer, the second woman recruited for a top finance-industry position in recent days as the country undertakes unprecedented social and economic change.

Nashar’s appointment is effective from today, according to a statement to the stock exchange on Sunday. She replaces Sajjad Razvi who resigned for personal reasons. On Thursday, NCB Capital Co. CEO Sarah Al Suhaimi was named the first woman to chair Saudi Arabia’s stock exchange, the region’s largest.

The appointments are significant for a country where the female unemployment rate is more than 34 percent and women aren’t allowed to drive. They also need a guardian’s consent to travel outside the country or marry. Change is starting to happen with the number of working women jumping 50 percent between 2010 and 2015, and more Saudi women entering male-dominated fields such as banking and engineering.

Before joining NCB Capital, Al Suhaimi was chief investment officer at Jadwa Investment and a senior portfolio manager at Samba Financial Group. Her father, Jammaz Al Suhaimi, was the head of the Capital Market Authority, the market regulator, until 2006.

The kingdom’s $439 billion stock exchange, which opened to foreigners in 2015, is seeking to attract more overseas investment as part of the country’s plans to diversify the economy away from oil.

It’s widely rumored that Saudi Arabia will soon permit women to walk dogs without the company of a man and maybe ride bicycles between the hours of 6am to 7:30am. It is not, however, believed that they will be permitted to drive automobiles yet, as they’ve demonstrated an unwillingness to grasp the concept of advanced machinery, thus far — according to Saudi officials.

Before you chimp out and declare all Muslims bomb toting savages, consider the fact that they invented algebra and have supreme taste in oil. I’d remind you that only the majority of terrorist attacks are from persons of Islamic persuasion and that some terrorist attacks, MUH TIMOTHY MCVEIGH, were carried out by white Americans.

During a speech given today, Germany’s leader, Angela Merkel, pointed out how it was Germany’s duty to accept and integrate people seeking refuge from the middled east. Islam isn’t the problem, according to Merkel. Ergo, quit being racist pigs.

“I think, those countries, first and foremost have to give a contribution. Because only in this way we would be able to convince people that it is not Islam that is the source of terrorism. But a falsely understood Islam,” Merkel said, according to Al Jazeera.

“I expect from religious authorities of Islam to find strong language in order to delimitate peaceful Islam from terrorism committed in the name of Islam. We as non-Muslims cannot do this, it should be done by Islamic clergy and authorities,” she said.

“When we look at the images of bombed out Aleppo in Syria, we have to say once again how important and right it was for us to have helped those who needed our protection to find their way here and to integrate,” she said.

“As we go on with our lives and work, we tell the terrorists: You are murderers full of hate, but you will not determine how we live and want to live. We are free, compassionate and open,” she said.

Many people often ask why Europe is inflicting these wounds upon their societies. Perhaps the answer lies in the projected demographic trends, as affluence spirals through western countries like a plague — causing dramatic reductions in procreation. A few years ago, Tesla’s Elon Musk discussed this very topic — saying depopulation is the greatest risk to humanity since the Black Plague.

The conspiratorial angle on all this lies within the actuarial ledgers of the big banks. Less people equals less debt issuances, means lower GDP. By importing fresh people into Europe and America, banks will acquire new customers to extend credit and subsequently find a means to juice national GDP.

Credit expansion is all a Ponzi scheme after all (car loans, credit cards, home loans, margin loans), and the average decadent westerner is tapped out, already laden with too much debt, leaving banksters with a real problem heading into the future.

I’m sure the Washington Post is ruing the day that one of their retarded interns suggested weaponizing the term ‘fake news’ as a way to discredit independent media. Clearly, they were unaware of the long lasting ramifications — as they now hang from their own petard.

Last night, CNN’s Don Lemon brought a panel of guests to discuss the costs to protect the first family, in this case glossing over 8 years filled with exorbitant family vacations for the Obamas, which included Michelle’s mother and a troupe of people that cost the American people in excess of $85m, instead focusing in on Trump’s 3 weeks worth of golf outings where he entertained foreign dignitaries.

So Lemon was having a gay olde time, sashaying from one cucked guest to the next — until he reached PARIS DENNARD, who calmly dismissed Lemon’s segment as yet another episode of fake news — which caused Lemon to melt down, saying ‘STOP SAYING FAKE NEWS.’

Hilarious. Watch.
