Or do they get paid per license seat? I'm asking specifically for futures trading, such as Ninja with ZenFire, or TT Pro. Are the brokers charging $1+/contract side going to the software vendor? Or some portion thereof?

Really? How about Congress' role in preventing Bush from rolling back these aggressive lending practices, which were essentially strong armed onto the banks. Granted in return for that the financial wizards found a way to make it worse, but the point is that everything government touches turns...

I see your point, over a long period of time, if all other things are managed properly, yes you can make out nominally. But when you factor in purchasing power, it gets blurry.

You assume people can afford to give proper burials.

From Joshi's list of recommended reading: LOL. Btw, I have one of his books, it's very dry (forget the title at the moment).

My post was poorly worded, it was not meant to reply to you alone. I think that the scenarios you're painting are too cute by half. There are exceptions in all extenuating circumstances, but overall inflation is not a positive development that people should look forward to. The idea that...

If risk aversion doesn't return, you won't lose money? Sure you won't. What happens if flight from dollar returns, then what smart guy?

That depends. If the Republicans are voted into office next November and we have a crisis at any point in 2011, then I'd say no, Republicans can not be blamed. Especially since there will be little they could have implemented on their own in that short timeframe, with a lib president and still a...

Enh. Far fetched. There will be no political capital left for TARP 2 when this bubble bursts. No amount of logical backflips like the one you described will work with the populace at large. I think they're wanting out of TARP because they don't want to be under the thumb of the USG. And who does?

LOL. Hello!!! NY is practically a bankrupt state. Just wondering, are there are lot of people walking around Park Slope these days with fiddles in their hand? Keep on believin' ;)

You really have not thought this through very well. Massive inflation will cause oil to rise. OPEC doesn't like being paid in worthless paper and they can do something about it. Oil as the major source of energy is not going away overnight. Thinking that you can game your way through massive...

O.K., I'll get right to that. But first, pPlease do some research on the first oil shock of the 70s, and how massive dollar devaluation can lead to economic ruin.

Or will people who own no gold get burned? I agree that putting every penny you have into gold is as dumb as leaving it in dollars, or any other instrument. There's nothing wrong with buying gold at "the high", which is just about half way to it's real inflation adjusted high from the 80's...

Then you are not very smart if you believe US policy would entail shooting at Israeli planes in this day and age. The number of reasons as to why this is a moronic view are too numerous to list. There's not enough space on the Internet.

WTH? Hedge fund owners? What are you talking about? You're suggesting that hedge funds that own large shares of these miners are conspiring and influencing them to chose one particular path to production over another in order to deflate the supply?

Yes, so is it real and unfiltered?

Let's make a list of all the banks that went under since that time. What kind of counterparty/credit risk are we looking at vs. gold? These things are never so simple.

I think you're confused about the meaning of the word growth. It does not mean government pumping hundreds of billions into the economy.

It seems that what you're describing is the futures curve, which is either a normal curve (longer maturity is larger than front month), or inverted, longer maturity is less than front month. Contango vs. (Normal) Backwardation describes the shape of prices within a given contract's window of...
