If you want quality butter I would stay away from this New Zealand and Australian rubbish and instead buy the Danish butter sold in Tops. Not Lurpak. The other one. There is also good French butter. All Australian and New Zealand butter was truly poor, if you do not have money Orchid is always an option.

Leaving the preposterous nature of your thought-experiment to one side, as if the world would ever stop transacting with the US, one of the most important export markets in the world, you are delusional if you think the US is dependent on Canada in any way shape or form. The US does not have the capacity to replace Canadian lumber? You must be dreaming. Germany can replace Russian oil with Norwegian and Canadian oil but the US cannot do likewise? How odd. Speaking of Russia, perhaps the US could buy some cheaper Russian lumber, after all there is already talk of reviving Nord Stream 2 with American backing. Same with Aluminium, why can the US not replace it and get it elsewhere? Nor does the US depend on Canadian fertilizer, that is all fantasy. But thanks for confirming that exports represent 11% only of the US GDP. That leaves only 24 trillion then. How will the US survive on this paltry sum? Hahahaha. Dependent on Canadian fertilizer, thanks for the laughs Patong.

I'd like to see the numbers for that theory. Brits think because they did not surrender in WWII and, ironically, Russia saved their bacon by defeating Germany this is a successful strategy. But it was only successful because Britain was protected by a body of water and had another nation, Russia, die and win on the battlefield for them. Ukraine does not have either, and I fail to see how Ukraine can ever win this war. Just generally btw, how would you calculate those odds, if you look at all the wars where a country has refused to surrender and lost quite badly, you'd have a very long list. Far longer than instances where non-surrender has resulted in victory or a draw.

If he knocks sense into Ukraine and gets them to end the war it's good enough for me.

Trump does not want a total surrender of Ukraine. Nor does Putin by the way. And whilst it's true that Russia can't fight the war for all eternity, it is extremely obvious that before Russia falls from exhaustion Ukraine will have fallen 20 times. All Putin wants is to secure the strategic position of the Russian homeland, which is non-negotiable. I mean he went to war over it. Ukraine has to accept that it will lose territory and give peace to its citizens. Everything else is folly.

Obviously Trump can't implement a "5 Year Plan" to "force" Aemrican companies to relocate. He's not Stalin and the US is not Soviet Russia. However, he is deftly forcing FOREIGN companies to pay more to sell in the US and making THEIR products more expensive. Obviously this will make US made products cheaper by comparison and secure and create US jobs. Not to mention the additional money hat will flow into the US as additional revenue from the tariffs themselves. Rather than "decimate" the US economy Trump is protecting the US economy from cheapear and better competition. Very sensible.

You may want to check the latest news: Doesn't look like the USD has stopped being the true safe haven currency, does it?

The guy is clearly delusional. Russia will win the war against Ukraine and is winning it now. Without US support Ukraine has no chance.

Of course it could never happen. If ever the US economic incentives fail the US could simply take what it wants with its superior military. Let's hope and pray that will never happen and the worst we're exposed to is economic coercion.

Well done for maintaining your record of getting EVERY SINGLE post completely wrong. In fact the US economy has the strongest domestic market in the entire world. If the whole world stopped selling to the US or buying US products the US economy would continue very strong, obviously affected but still very much intact. Whereas the rest of the world would suffer terribly without the economic engine that is the USA. See, the US is NOT an export dependent economy the way Japan or Germany are. It has its own very strong domestic market.

Everything, you can CLEARLY see the US dollar has MASSIVELY outperformed the Japanese Yen and the risk of the latter replacing the USD as a safe haven currency is close to nil. David Roche should stick to studying the fall of the Berlin wall. Clearly FOREX is not his best subject.

Oh by the way: "Quantum Strategy" is NOT an investment fund and not to be confused with the Quantum group of funds. Nothing to do with the latter. Quantum Strategy is just a research firm founded by David Roche.

And still the President of the US of A. He's greater than I thought. Thanks for pointing that out.

Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Taylor Swift, Charlie XCX, Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B, David Roche, everyone who works MSNBC, CNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, every pollster who predicted a Kamala landslide, Zelensky, Canada, Mexico, China.... Nancy Pelosi, your boys are taking a hell of a beating!!!! Hahahahaha

Of course. Because they know Trump is better than them. He's richer. He's smarter. He has a better looking wife. A better looking family. A bigger house. And a lot more political power. He doesn't even know Walker88 or rough diamond exist. Nor would he care. It's funny really. All these ressentiments because someone is better than you, and he doesn't eve care about you one speck of dust. We are laughing.

Yes indeed, it tells me traders have taken note of the BOJ pronouncements to support the Yen. But as you can see, the Yen is in a clear downtrend against the Dollar, the recent short lived rally is hardly an indication of trend. Lol.

Lol, this was a "Squawk Box" CNBC show, where one unknwon woman analyst claimed the Japanese economy will grow stronger. Roche agreed and alluded to Europe and the US being "uncertain" and how this could make Japan more of a safe haven. This is basically page 3 journalism for finance, they say outrageous things for attention. In reality this is the performance of the Japanese Yen against the US Dollar:

I'm amazed how you find the time striving for all this success so hard to bless us all with 78 threads a day? Especially since you have to manage your bitcoin and shares portfolio.

Well clearly Thai police and justice system is very fair, if the Brit couple did nothing they will be acquitted. However, if they attacked and caused the altercation they will be rightly punished. We can have total faith in Thai justice.

David Roche is Irish and of course the Irish love to make up stories. The Japanese Yen has no more replaced the US Dollar as a safe haven currency than Canadian bacon. In fact the Japanese Yen has been FALLING against the US dollar for a very long time. ' I can only imagine David Roche was joking. Or else he's lost his mind.

Very hit and miss. Not the reliable 711 affair.

Thank you pussycat.

Canada is a barely inhabited wasteland full of mosquitos and ice. It has a population of what, 40 million? Canada is not big enough to be the toast the US is spread on. More like a Dorito that dips into the endless ocean of salsa that is the US.

I was stopped by police two days ago. I hadn't notice the tax disc of the car I rent was expired. Rather than sing Rule Britannia and explain how I deserve special treatment I politely explained the owner of the car will of course apply for the up to date tax disc.The policeman not only let me go but did not aske me to pay a fine.

So you give her an allowance of 30000 but you don't pay her anything. Got it.
