Re: Example of Bernanke's Ineptitude

http://money.cnn.com/2007/11/27/news/newsmakers/gross_banking.fortune/index.htm To understand where future losses may lie, it makes sense to ask which investments did especially well during the shadow's formation. Home prices have been the obvious first hit -- down 5% nationwide already, with perha...

Re: Financial topics

A lot of people were previously comparing the crash of 2008 to the crash of 1929, up until the rally out of the March lows. But if one looks at the big picture (bigger bubble; bigger timeline; bigger government involvement) it makes perfect sense that the market will retrace (close the gap left ope...

Re: Financial topics

... My point is: don't assume that they even care to save the country or the economy. Some speculate that, when the time is right, they may even trigger the collapse. That's when they can really get the wealth -- use all the money they have stolen to buy up all the real assets at bargain prices. Th...

Re: Financial topics

I think America may open their gates to the rest of world to come and live there which will in fact reduce the American normal day to day expenses without reducing the facilities they are enjoying now.

Re: Financial topics

I find this site very interesting. I think many of the points are valid. However, I am not a pessimistic person by nature but I am a realistic person. I keep reading about the impending crash but I do not think we will have a crash as it is being described. My two cents, which is about what it is w...

Re: 30-Jan-10 News - Tony Blair faces questions about Iraq

Jeez, now John's calling me a loon because I don't like to get lied to by the government and the media. Where's the WMDs John? Does it hurt too much to admit they were never found and you were lied to by everyone from Colin Powell to the NY Times to NPR to the WSJ to the Economist? If Saddam was st...

Roubini: Asset Bubble Is Beginning Now http://www.cnbc.com/id/35078010 I've lost a lot of respect for Roubini as he tries to make predictions about this market or that. I think he should stick to this kind of analysis. I think the most telling quote from this article is this: But the risk of withdra...
