betekenis van het woord DESTROY

LEGO bleek een betere investering dan goud!

U zou misschien beter eens overwegen om LEGO te kopen als investering. Sinds 2000 is de waarde van LEGO gemiddeld met 12% per jaar gestegen. Goud haalde in dezelfde periode ‘slechts’ een return van 9,6% per jaar. De S&P500 staat op een rendement van 4,2% sinds het begin van deze eeuw.

LEGO, de Deense niet-beursgenoteerde producent van de super populair speelgoed, heeft reeksen waarvan de licentie vervalt, waarvan de filmhype over is of waarvan LEGO een nieuwe reeks maakt. Dit zorgt ervoor dat de oude LEGO reeksen in waarde toenemen.

“Star Wars” is het meest populaire thema voor beleggers in LEGO. 10 van de 20 duurste LEGO-pakketten komt van “Star Wars”. The Ultimate Collector’s Millennium Falcon werd bijvoorbeeld in 2007 verkocht voor $500 en is nu $4.000 waard. De Imperial Star DESTROYer uit 2002 steeg in waarde van zo’n $350 naar $1.500.

Hans-Werner Sinn: eurozone doomed to 'decade of crises'

The eurozone is doomed to a decade or more of economic stagnation and civil unrest that could DESTROY the single currency if countries such as France do not implement vital reforms, according to one of Europe’s most influential economists.

The eurozone is doomed to a decade or more of economic stagnation and civil unrest that could DESTROY the single currency if countries such as France do not implement vital reforms, according to one of Europe’s most influential economists.

Hans-Werner Sinn, the president of Germany’s Ifo Institute for Economic Research think-tank, said policymakers would continue to misuse capital to finance the higher living standards unlocked by joining the euro, while dragging their heels on reform.

“My prediction is not that the euro will fall apart, but that it leads to a stagnation and animosity even more than we see today among the people of Europe,” he said. “You see this very strongly in southern Europe, where people face this mass unemployment, in France, where Marine le Pen in the polls has the strongest party and with Syriza in Greece which is presenting radical decisions and has the most support in the polls.”

VS: staatsschuld groeit meer dan $1 biljoen in 12 maanden

The idea that the Obama administration has the budget deficit under control is a complete and total lie.  According to the U.S. Treasury, the federal government has officially run a deficit of 589 billion dollars for the first 11 months of fiscal year 2014.  But this number is just for public consumption and it relies on accounting tricks which massively understate how much debt is actually being accumulated.  If you want to know what the real budget deficit is, all you have to do is go to a U.S. Treasury website which calculates the U.S. national debt to the penny.  On September 30th, 2013 the U.S. national debt was sitting at $16,738,183,526,697.32.  As I write this, the U.S. national debt is sitting at $17,742,108,970,073.37.  That means that the U.S. national debt has actually grown by more than a trillion dollars in less than 12 months.  We continue to wildly run up debt as if there is no tomorrow, and by doing so we are DESTROYing the future of this nation.

Rusland dreigt alle financiële belangen uit NAVO-landen terug te trekken

Cyprus and Russia - what's the difference (aside from the fact that the former was a money laundering offshore center of the latter until last year of course)?

If you said one is a lackey to statist, selfish banker interests, and after having its economy thoroughly DESTROYed by the great doomed European sociopolitical (and pathological) experiment, came crawling back to its Eurozone masters, while the other couldn't care one bit about Pax Petrodollariana and the global central bank cabal, you are right. In which case it will also be clear why a few hours ago that joke of a rating agency, Standard & Poor's, which also earlier announced it was "affirming" France at an AA rating making it very clear it will no longer accept being sued for telling the truth and downgrading sovereigns or otherwise have its offices abroad raided, not only upgraded Cyprus from B- to B (please deposits your funds in Cyprus banks now: they are safe, S&P promises), but - far more importantly - delivered a political message to the Kremlin, and downgraded Russia from BBB to BBB-, one short notch away from junk status. This was the first downgrade of Russia by S&P since December 2008.

Washington militarily encircling Russia

Washington’s plan to seize Ukraine and to evict Russia from its Black Sea naval base has come amiss. But as Lenin said, “two steps forward, one step back.”

Do you remember all the tough talk coming from John Kerry, the White House Fool, Hilary Clinton, and the lickspittle Merkel about the harsh sanctions that would “badly damage” the Russian economy unless Russia prevented the referendum vote in Crimea? Well, it was all bullshit, more hot air from the White House sock puppet and the lickspittle German chancellor who is a disgrace to the German nation. As the Russians kept telling John Kerry, sanctions on Russia would DESTROY Europe and do little damage to Russia.

I wish the Russians had kept this to themselves. I was looking forward to the Washington morons DESTROYing NATO by closing down the European economy.
