#2  I saw the title and just kept walking.

Then I heard an ad for bammycare, "My premium is $22 per month!"

Gotta go, have drywall to fix.

#1  Another financial house of cards

#2  Just keep holding until summer.

#3  Zero Hedge (I know, nervousness alert) has been predicting the 'downsizing' of the Chinese stocks for some time, so this was no 'shock' to me and not as deep as predicted (although it ain't over yet).

In our industry, we see the Middle Kingdom backing out of several supposedly 'done deals' with regards to new efficient power generation systems (NOT 'giant fans', more the NG and 'nucular' varieties). New system projects staying with coal for now. Cheap to build and China does have their own coal.

Not enough actual cash for the new GoreSystems®.

#4  IIRC see also JAPAN TIMES > OPINION: KOICHI HAMADI: CHINA'S CENTRAL PLANNING ADDICTION VERSUS FREE MARKET.

The Marx or Mao is still strong in the ex-CCCC/CPCC now CPC, + won't go out widout a fight.

Darkness will spread over the Chinese land like God over Pre-Exodus Egypt, or the CPC in Beijing will attempt to salvage itself via waging LIMITED WARS throughout East Asia, i.e. the SCS + ECS + Taiwan - and IOR agz India [Russian Far East]???

First Crude Oil Shipment Exports From U.S. After 40 Year Ban Lifted
[Daily Caller] The first crude oil shipment exported from the United States, after a 40 year ban, left from Corpus Christi, Texas last Thursday.

NuStar Energy and ConocoPhillips loaded a vessel with light crude oil pumped from the Eagle Ford Shale of South Texas at NuStar's North Beach Terminal at Port Corpus Christi. The crude is to be sold to the international trading company Vitol.

#1  the change in the law permitting crude oil exports was obtained by giving the democrats oodles and oodles of goodies in the previous budget reconciliation bill

it shows why a Republican president is needed

#2  A great example of how hard it is to repeal anything, no matter how outdated the reason for its original passage.

#3  Now that it's dirt cheap, export it. What a wonderful idea! Is the Strategic Oil Reserve full?
Posted by: Anguper Hupomosing9418 || 01/04/2016 16:31 Comments || Top||

#4  Nope, neither is the strategic grain reserve, but we keep selling to foreigners. I say keep the grain, keep the oil, keep the guns, do away with the FED and prepare for a Pincer Action on Columbus.

Who, which blog dis?

India-Pakistan
CM put on ventilator in AIIMS
[Daily Excelsior] Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed has been put on ventilator in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi and his condition remained critical.

Official sources said a high level team of doctors from different departments was attending upon Mufti Sayeed, who today spent 11th consecutive day in the AIIMS.

Meanwhile,
...back at the dirigible, Jack stuck the cigar in his mouth, stepped onto the gantry, and asked Got a light, Mac?

Von Schtinken stopped short, lowering the dagger and trying to control his features.

If you light that thing, Herr Armschtröng, he pointed out, his voice tense, we all die!...

NC working president and former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today visited AIIMS and inquired condition of Mufti Sayeed from PDP president Mehbooba Mufti. He prayed for early recovery of Mufti Sayeed.

Mufti was flown to New Delhi and admitted in the AIIMS on December 24 after he developed uneasiness following six hour long tour to Srinagar to inspect developmental works going on in the City.
