Fox business television personalities and pundits remain bullish touting that “they are buying these stocks with their own money.” Gary B “Chartman” Smith says AAPL will gain +30% higher which is a 150 price target. Investor John Layfield proclaims that GPRO will gain +30% which is a 43 price target. Pundit Jonas Max Ferris says BA will gain +20% over the coming year which is a 162 target.

Not one of the many pundits across the entire Fox weekend business block of four television shows, about 20 talking financial heads in all, warned investors of the stock market top and -10% to -50% and more selloff in equities over the last few months.

Financial media pundits across the internet including Fox, Bloomberg and CNBC television ignored Keystone’s warnings and instead led viewers, traders and investors down the road to losses.) The Dow Industrials are down -11% from the May top.

It is ridiculous to think a deal can be binding with this Islamic radical. Iran paints the Israeli flag on sidewalks so it can be stepped on daily in disrespect. Iran says Israel will not exist in 25 years.
