While I don't believe that the Fed (and Bernanke) has done all the right things all the time (that would be silly) and I certainly disagree with certain steps that have been taken (or not), I certainly don't see any macroeconomic basis to suggest that they're doing it all wrong, as a few people...

Huh? I especially don't get the whole elevator/staircase thing... That one is well over my head.

I confess I've never heard of a "buy and hold broker".

A video on the Internet? Surely everything it says must be true... I regretfully have to inform you, jem (no offense intended) that you're still a conspiracy nut :).

IMHO, one of the important necessary advances surely has to involve doing away with this whole "manifest destiny", exceptionalist sh1t. I think it's been pretty conclusively demonstrated that it's not good for the American psyche. Just my Z$2c...

Hahahaha, so you just offer this purely objective, unbiased info to us eeejits out of the goodness of your heart? I don't know what to say, I am all choked up with gratitude. In fact, I am so grateful, I'm moving my bid to $20.5. Just for you, 'cause you're such a stand up guy, peil.

20 bid right here... Why are you so desperate to puff people into this trade? You that worried that being long is wrong?

What are you smoking, man? There's NO such thing as "property tax" in the UK... There's stamp duty, but that works differently. The rest of your gibberish is pretty much that. If you want to support your assertions, the only way to do this is provide numbers. Otherwise, you're just making...

Well, I am currently living in the UK and travel all over continental Europe for work all the time. [B] Well, I am Caucasian, but not of European descent. Whatever shall I do? Does that mean I don't belong here? Should I leave? Well, if you don't feel like providing meaningful evidence...

Are you just saying that or do you have any sort of non-anecdotal (and meaningful) evidence? As far as I know, objective facts suggest that the overall quality of life in many European countries is higher than in the US. Have you seen the data on HDI (the Human Development Index)?

Huh? Which part of Europe are you wildly, inaccurately and rather misguidedly generalizing about like this, pray tell? Where in Europe did you live? Well, I am going to have to ask you to define "European". We're not gonna be talking about the Aryan ideals of racial purity again, are we?

Well, a year old is pretty old, considering the rather conclusive thrashing Labour suffered in the general election. As to the "leftist vision for Europe", I am not sure I understand what's so scary about it, a priori. I also don't understand this whole "leftist" label (not that I am a fan of...

My pleasure... I live but to serve.

Erm, have you looked at the date on this, perchance? I trust you're aware that Mr Miliband hasn't been the Foreign Secretary since Labour lost the election almost a year ago? Maybe you're trying to make a different, more subtle point, but I am not sure what it might be...

Let me guess... You must be long then? :)

IMHO, you need to finish school and get a degree... In that, I am completely in agreement with sle. One thing I'd like to add is a point that's often forgotten about education and school. It's based on my personal experience on both sides of the interviewing table. As an interviewer I care...

This is it... There's nothing more that needs to be said on the subject (plenty more can be said, but it becomes a philosophical discussion).

Ah, but there's the rub! One man's "proper and equitable" is another man's "wrong and oppressive". Who can argue these things objectively, totally free of all bias, real or perceived? Nah, but until he turned yella, I would have expected him to put up one hell of a fight, which would have...

Exactly right! It would have been good to have an old-school German tough guy at the helm, but no, he just had to quit, 'cause he couldn't handle the politics. Politics is part of the job description! Surely, he should know this after having been at the BuBa for donkey's years!

Ben Broadbent, the Goldman UK economist, was a piece of the puzzle that led Goldman to their bailout disaster? I am not sure I understand what you might be referring to...
