At 9.50pm AEDT yesterday, there was a sudden spike in trading on the oil and S&P 500 futures market.

6.50am New York time is an unusual time for a rush on trades on West Texas Intermediate May futures.

    In any other country on earth, Trump would have been dragged into the street a lynched by now.

    I think the best American’s can hope for is that his own security detail order 66’s him.

      I honestly never thought Americans were this weak.

      We’re being abused and asking our abuser for more. It’s pathetic.
