What the Fuck is Wrong with Mexico??

Before theangrytrader.blogspot.com was created, there was a prior version of the same site. Unfortunately, I cannot access those publications, as the one entitled, "How Do You Spell Shithole?....M-E-X-I-C-O" would have been perfect to re-print. Oh Well.

Mexico as you know is good for a few things. First and foremost, tequila. Uhm, I have been sitting at my computer for an hour, trying to think what good thing number 2-5 would be. In any event, Mexico is great at making tequila, and we love Mexico for it. We try and pretend that they have great beaches, or some type of history...but it's the tequila and how cheap you can get things that keeps us going back, time and time again.

Recently, however, the drug war in Mexico has kept people away. Good use of common sense people. Who the fuck would put their family in harms way for cheap drinks and a stay at Iberostar on the discount (because it is in Mexico).

We have a drug problem here in America too. We have killings etc. But not like what is going on in ol' Mehico today. The only way to stop this problem..well there are 2 ways. First and most importantly, stop going to Mexico. Stop going, stop buying, cut the mother fuckers off. If we stop importing, the government will have to stand up to the cartels that truly run the country.

The second thing you can do is to stop buying your drugs from Mexico. That includes your coke, weed, speed, ex, crystal meth, and the list goes on and on....

I know...you may say...I dont do drugs....but I know you do. We all know you do. Just ask your dealer where your shit comes from. He knows, trust me he knows. If it comes from Mexico, just say no. Buy your weed and blow from Jamaica..get your heroin from the Taliban in Afghanastan. 

Boycot Mexico for all of your needs.

Without some tough love, this cycle of violence is just going to continue and most likely escalate. So check the labels of your clothing, and other items you buy over the next few months. Make a conscious effort to not buy Mexican and send them a message.....

Now its time for some shots.

Big Ben Fucked: Options...he has NO options!!

So yesterday was a pretty important day on Wall Street. Everyone wanted, no NEEDED to hear what big Ben Bernanke was going to say in regards to the economy and what the Fed would do to continue to help...(or hurt). Here is a brief clip from the Wall Street Journal walking you through what was said and decided yesterday:





Ultimately, nothing was said or decided except the Fed continues to admit they totally misjudged the severity of the recession AND they made no comments about QE3 (thank G-d). Many are expecting the Fed to deliver another round of quantitative easing, which in this author's opinion will only further weaken the economy. We have 2 major problems here: Inflation (which is growing quite quickly now) and unemployment.


Neither element that weighs on our economy like a 500lb weight will be fixed soon. Perhaps in the next 5 years. Perhaps. When you combine the two, you get STAGFLATION: STAGFLATION IS BAD!!!!

The Fed also said their September meeting would be 2 days vs. the traditional 1. This cannot be good....and it should come as no surprise given the lackluster economic data we have seen in the past 4 weeks (putting aside the market volatility).

So in my typical just jam it in your face, here is the bottom line: There is NOTHING the Fed can do to help, aside from stop helping. We don't need more money printed, we don't need more government intervention. We need spending cuts AND tax hikes RIGHT NOW. The system is broken, as is out political system and Ben yesterday basically told Congress to get their asses in gear. Good luck.

Guns and Gold people. Guns and Gold.
