"The success of the central banking scheme developed into a far-reaching plan described by President Clinton's mentor, Georgetown Professor Carroll Quigley, "to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank....sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the levels of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

Enjoy your posts but wonder about the value of tracking the QQQQ based on David Jackson's analysis of it excerpted below:
"the NASDAQ 100 is a slightly unusual index that makes its popularity baffling. It’s dominated by large capitalization technology stocks, but it’s not a pure technology index. In fact, it excludes some of the largest US technology stocks, such as IBM and HPQ, which are traded on the New York Stock Exchange. As a result, if you want to make a concentrated sector investment in technology stocks you’re better off buying the Technology Sector ETF, ticker (XLK).
Moreover, many NASDAQ 100 stocks also appear in the S&P 500, so if you hold both QQQQ and IVV (or SPY) you have significant overlap in your portfolio.
And finally, a more conceptual point: there seem to be many suitable criteria for inclusion in a stock index (such as market cap, industry sector, or growth/value), but which exchange the stock is traded on doesn’t seem to me to be one of them. QQQQ, which tracks 100 stocks traded on the NASDAQ exchange, is thus a weird beast."
