I'm really pissed off right now about what's happening in Washington. In the past few months my beliefs about this country have been shattered. The things I learned in business school and economics are now treated in the media and by policy makers as falsehoods. It seems like we have entered an...

I think this would be a viable strategy, but only if you bought at the close of days with extreme selling pressure.

I read those documents on american terrorist organizations. I pretty much agree with it. Most of those nuts are back woods people that still cling to the civil war, north versus south mentality. They want to be in an all white society that is pretty much lawless in anarchy.

@$%#!!!!!, Why the hell are you trading futures with no knowledge of risks and procedures?

Profit from inflation: borrow at very low nominal interest rates. Invest that money in instruments that are tied to inflation or receive a higher real rate of return than the nominal rate of your loan.

It would be tough to build a system on this alone. You would have to also factor seasonality, macroeconomics, and OPEC into your decisions. If you are correct in weather forecasts, but some outside factor overwhelms the weather correlation, you could get your ass handed to you.

I think it would be better to buy crude futures and s&p futures. You will have a lot more leverage so you can offset the 4% interest. The problem with futures is that the cost of carry is built into the derivative, so you have a hidden interest tax. With the futures trade, you would have to...

More economic warfare revealed. If I didn't know better, I would suspect Russia, China and other US enemies are trying to undermine confidence in the US monetary systems so they can create a new world currency, diminishing the US empire's financial power. There has been an acceleration of cyber...

If congress keeps up their idiocracy, we will see new lows. Since Obama, the democrats are cramming their agenda down American's throats at an alarming pace. In the name of saving the economy, they're destroying it.

It would actually be a good development for the US. Having the strong dollar policy all these years has destroyed the manufacturing base in the US. How can we compete with Asians? That's why there are no jobs without the financial sector. Short term, the fed would probably have to do a...

Once inflation kicks in, casinos are the first places to get the results. People have been stressed out for the past couple years and have a pent up desire to blow off some steam. I think by next year your LVS position will be above 10.

They expand their balance sheet. Which equals digital money creation. It would be simlilar to you logging on to your bank account and electronically adding an additional zero to your balance. 1,000 to 10,000 with the stroke of a key. The problem is, it's illegal for us to do it, but legal under...

That sucks. You have to realize that currencies can fly during a fed announcement. That EUR spike was spectacular.

Random. What is your solution to this mess? I'm interested in what you have to say.

This isn't their last bullet. This is just the beginning of a new way of doing business. China will love this actually. The fed is essentially going to buy their treasuries from them at a higher value.

So, you support the addition of buying treasuries? My point was, that the fed was already doing more than enough, and now they have gone off the reservation.

Asset backed lending facility, Mortgage backed securities purchases. The commercial paper market was successfully backstoped. Mortgage rates have come down substantially since November.

Mainly it will be seen in a weaker currency. When treasury rates fall, the interest rate differential compared to other currency debt interest rates changes. If you can get a higher rate of return in euros, and the threat of dilution is less, you will park your money there.

Watch the dollar collapse in the next month.

This is not good. US consumers don't need a weak dollar on top of everything else. The other programs were working. Scheisse.
