Treasury rates are rising quickly, the markets are collapsing, inflation is skyrocketing, and the Fed is imposing a significant interest rate hike—all of which will result in further losses for portfolios this quarter. How can I take advantage of the present market volatility? I'm still undecided about whether to sell my $125,000 worth of bonds and stocks

Its funny how the moment Saudi started to lean toward china and russia Western media started talking about him Like all this time noone ever talked about Yemen war because saudis were western allies all the time

Sometimes MBS is hero for American president, Sometimes he is villain to other American president. I think MBS is constant but American presidents plays double game with MBS.

I am Jordanian and I live in Saudi Arabia. It is very peaceful country with loving people. The government supports its people and provides them with all needed services. Education is free, medical insurance is granted to everyone everyone even visitors. It seems Americans are quite jealous of the great achievements the beloved crown prince has done.

When America, starts to feel threat from some nation, they don’t mind turning their own friends into enemy, by showcasing documentaries, movies, etc and try to show the world How safe and great America is

Hypocrisy at its finest, How dangerous are all leaders of rich/ powerful countries?

If I remember correctly he was praised in the past for allowing women to drive and allowing SA to have entertainment for everyone without excluding by gender..... but now he's dangerous So, which one is it? Or is it that like everything else if the USA and Europe can't benefit from it it's considered evil?
