For Fed watchers, and traders, September 2012 was a memorable month: that’s when the Fed launched QE3 also called “QEternity”, a continuation of the “Operation Twist” program that was unveiled earlier in the year, and the Fed’s third – and so far final – asset purchase program which was meant to stimulate the economy but whose real purpose was to push markets higher (as we have now learned).   Continue reading “Fed 2012 Transcripts: “I Sense Self-Congratulation That QE3 Had Such A Great Impact On The Market””

The National Rifle Association is readying a lawsuit against California’s new ammunition controls and that suit focuses on the failure to meet “statutorily mandated” deadlines throughout the lead-up to the launch of the controls.

Breitbart News reported that the ammunition controls went into effect January 1, 2018. They bar out-of-state ammunition purchases and require that all in-state purchases be made from a licensed dealer. This shrinks the supply, which will inevitably drive up price. Moreover, they require that any ammunition purchased online be sent to a licensed in-state dealer, who will then charge a processing fee for the ammo, thereby driving the price up even further.   Continue reading “NRA Readies Lawsuit Against California Ammunition Control”

If you have to leave your car outside overnight, you know what a pain it is to defrost the windshield on those cold mornings. An ice scraper works, but it can take a lot of energy, time and frozen fingers.
