Colleges aren't failing our kids. Parents are failing their kids who are in turn failing themselves. This isn't high school we are talking about. The professor isn't there to hold the kid's hand and help him decide what to be when he grows up. The entire problem with this thread is that...

You should focus in on a single ticker and become very good at that. It doesn't make any sense to trade across multiple tickers unless size requires it. I'm not sure what your methodology is, but I would toss 1/2 the indicators you use out the window. Learn to interpret charts in order to...

Not true, see my post above. Current power loss from transmission is only 8%. But my point above regarding on-site generation sums up the logical approach. The reason we haven't yet converted is because until recently they have been cost prohibitive. On a large scale project you could...

Firstly, I agree with your sentiment. We should be converting to solar and I believe it is only a matter of time. But I feel that there are some misconceptions about solar around so I will make a couple comments. My family owns one of the largest solar electric companies in the Western...

Most of his problems in the article are caused by the fact that he has made himself a slave to the prime broker. IOW, his returns are such that he needs PB leverage to be attractive to investors and produce enough return to make it worthwhile. He is faking success in order to impress people...

Chile is much more multi-ethnic than many other South American countries.

Hmmm... most of the research data suggests the opposite actually. the vast majority of violent crime in the US is same-race. 84% of the time a white person murders a white person. 90% of the time a black person murders a black person. Many of the most homogeneous countries in the world have...

The reason the dollar index is 60% Euros is because the countries that use the Euro as a main currency constitute a huge portion of global GDP. The combined GDP of countries using the Euro is about equal to Japan, China, Canada, India, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Australia, and South Korea all...

There is a reason the index is 60% Euros. It is an attempt to make it MORE accurately represent the USD situation.

Are you kidding? Since beginning of 2008 USD is up against both EUR and GBP. But I guess if we exclude those two major currencies, you have a point.

Your argument is flawed on so many levels that it is hard to know where to start. You are comparing ideal inflation of about 3-5% annual with 1,000%+ inflation in Brazil. Rather than trying to spend valuable time explaining the difference to you, I'll let you put in the effort if you...

Massive repatriation of JPY. Exactly as expected. Has nothin to do with which toilet paper is stronger.

OK, either I misread the article or you did. It seems that you knee-jerk reacted negatively to an article that you agree with. The article was making the assertion that QE2 was the main driver behind the high inflation, and then you jumped in and called it "clueless" and restated the exact...

Sure he can. Marry a woman from the certain Africans and have children. Then keep his fingers crossed. I should point out that the huge differences between races are actually quite small. Anyway, you do make valid points. There absolutely are racial differences. Anyone studying anatomy...

All right, so IOW they aren't necessarily doing it for their own personal gain, but rather acting according to what they believe is in the best interest of their own region. I should point out that statistically and historically, they are correct. IMO, the argument comes in how much...

But you need to qualify who it is who cannot resist printing, and why is it in their benefit?

Be more clear. Are you saying that the currency itself is a fraud, or that it allows for fraud?

M3 is still calculated independently from a few sources. You just don't hear about it much because it no longer supports the argument of those claiming conspiracy when it was discontinued.

My above post somewhat explains my position. It might make you sound a bit more intelligent if you back up your "stupid" claims with an intellectual argument. I'm not so arrogant as to suppose that I can't be wrong. But given that I've spent the last decade studying these topics, you'll need...

Yep, many of the participants on this board treat inflation like housewives treat spiders. "There's nothing good about it." Nothing could be further from the truth. It is widely accepted that inflation would ideally match the combined growth rate of both the population and economic growth...
