In principle, Switzerland is a transshipment point for gold. Thousands of tons of gold come to Switzerland, are refined in refineries and then exported abroad.

 

However, it is important to note that in relation to the figures, the industry creates little jobs, and the value creation is manageable.

 

Switzerland produces class, not mass.

Yes, with a markup of maybe 3%. Amounting to 25 billion trade surplus in Gold alone.

Just for the MAGA Goobers..........

“You’ve taken business bankruptcies six times.”
–Hillary Clinton

“On occasion – four times – we used certain laws that are there.”

–Donald Trump

THE FACT CHECKER | Clinton is correct.

Trump’s companies have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, which means a company can remain in business while wiping away many of its debts. The bankruptcy court ultimately approves a corporate budget and a plan to repay remaining debts; often shareholders lose much of their equity.

Eat your heart out goober!

Anyway whatever number you wish to take, the fact is that he is an extremely poor "businessman" and of course he had to pay back $2.1 million he "stole" from a Charity......low life, and some. And I don't hate him per se, just despise him for being a dishonest crook.

Once again, you are intentionally conflating businesses failing with Trump actually going bankrupt. You have been schooled on this time and time again. Why must you be intentionally misleading to try slamming Trump? Wouldn't a factually accurate takedown be better?

Quite so. It is sad to see grown men, not childen, a grown freakin' man, reduced to posting absolutely false lies, like some affidavit from some case that was dimissed due to being lies.

 

So desperate. So silly. So pointless.

Not at all........and as you are the one mentioning "hate" I have put you on ignore so I won't see any of your hate-driven posts!! 

Trump will ensure he and his acolytes make a healthy profit on trading gold/ETF's/currency as he controls the decision making which controls the markets.

 

Then he will reverse the decision (i.e. chicken out) to broadly put the markets back in the position they were and profit-take. (Of course, the money he has sucked out of the market has come from ordinary people's pension funds so when he and his buddies win, others have to lose)

 

Self-enrichment, on an unimagineable scale, is one of his key aims during his second term.

I prefer Belgian chocolate.

Donald Trump is the self-proclaimed “king of debt.” Before becoming president, he built his brand and companies with massive amounts of borrowed money.

Allmand Law teamed up with James Publishing to illustrate this timeline by Mother Jones, outlining Trump’s Bankruptcies: How Trump Leveraged Other People’s Money to Make Bankruptcy Work for Him.

In the 1980s, Trump amassed casinos, hotels, an airline, and a 282-foot mega yacht. But his gold-plated bubble popped. By June 1990, Trump was unable to make loan payments on his $3.4 billion in outstanding debts. In total, Trump businesses filed for bankruptcy six times.

In many ways, Trump’s path to bankruptcy is just like that of many other business owners. His ambition was bigger than his financial resources. Risky business decisions didn’t play out as planned. And his attempts to restructure his debt were unsuccessful.

Finally a factually correct statement. As I said dozens of times, serial entrepreneurs like Trump have huge amounts of businesses on the go at any one time. Completely normal for some of them to fail and file chapter 11. Look at any of these guys history and Trump is nothing unusual.

All of which is nothing to do with team wokes repeated false assertion that Trump "went bankrupt" x amount of times. He NEVER filed bankruptcy.

 

Again I must ask why haters have to lie to berate the man they irrationally fear and hate. Aren't there real reasons to dislike him without making stuff up?

And he seems hellbent on destroying US industry. I thought he claimed he wanted manufacturing to return.

So in fact he now is creating an EXPORT tariff as well. Who in his right mind want to manufacture in the US if you need to pay to sell it?

Trump Bid for Cut of Nvidia, AMD Revenue Risks ‘Dangerous World’

(Bloomberg) -- Even in an administration that has repeatedly pushed the legal limits of using economic statecraft to reshape the global business landscape, a new deal with two tech giants is raising alarm bells among trade experts.

Nvidia Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. agreed to pay the US government 15% of revenue from some chip sales to China. The chips — Nvidia’s H20 AI accelerator and AMD’s MI308 chips — were earlier banned by the Trump administration and require export licenses to sell.

“To call this unusual or unprecedented would be a staggering understatement,” said Stephen Olson, a former US trade negotiator now with the Singapore-based ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute. “What we are seeing is in effect the monetization of US trade policy in which US companies must pay the US government for permission to export. If that’s the case, we’ve entered into a new and dangerous world.”
