  3. Mike – This is great – Thank You!! Just a quick question – Financials have been on a run; namely, XLF. Do you see that continuing throughout the year?

  4. Mike I know I asked this before, but can you please do a video on your views on the 2008 financial collapse? Which policy is mostly to blame thanks.

  5. Imagine if you had bought GEVO at $2.9 as I advised some month ago? It's still not too late even with the big gap up coming tomorrow.:) And my 1st advice to buy FCEL at $3? Phooof….

  6. Mike, WTF are you talking about? Congress suspended the debt ceiling during the Obama administration, There is no debt ceiling anymore.

  7. mike here ia Canadian MP discussing QE lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDBMOSfAi0A

  8. Are the rules surrounding this issue arcane or archaic, or both?

  9. If you only had one minute to talk to someone about MMT, what would you say?
