This is the most clear, true and effective statement I've heard ina while. Consumption and money making for the sake of money itself, is destructive.

Il try to answer your 4 questions: 1. Is he a better leader (in numbers and facts) I believe he is a better leader as he has proved successful in real life. He's become one of the World's richest man starting from scratch. I tend to trust more people that have dealt with business and taking...

Check the numbers. The US is not in a better shape in terms of total debt, debt to GDP, deficit, unemployment, % of foreign held debt. I actually think Berlusconi is a better leader than Obama, Merkel and Sarkozy.

Politicians and big corporations wanted exactly that. They have developed an entire system, killing merit, competition and reward for risk and talent! They HATE people taking risk, they HATE people that think, they HATE people that trade! And I am not talking about the so-called socialist...

I think this guy (Cameron) has lost it. What the heck is he trying to say? 'No government has ever lost money on lending to the IMF. It does not put British taxpayer money at risk. I'm not asking British taxpayers to contribute to the IMF because Europe has not done enough. Britain will not...

Most people, even smart guys here on Elite Trader, fail to realise the real meaning of a 'democracy ending'. Perhaps its due to the fact the most here are very young. Let me put it this way: There is no such thing as capitalists, socialists, liberals, catholics, slackers, hard-workers...

Maybe. How about the nasdaq gaining 400 points in the last month? That sounds pretty good fiction too.

From RT, one commenter to Kaiser report. George November 03, 2011, 14:38 The thieving Papandreou family is flabbergasted by ISDA's decision that CDS's would not be activated by the Franco-German Greek debt haircut decision. In 2009 Niko Papandreou, PM's brother, bought for himself about...

:D :D :D viva es la tele

I agree with this analysis, but how do you account for the strong equity buying? The buying comes in enormous blocks, sometimes pushing indices up several points in few seconds/minutes. Who is buying?

They hace decided by decree that the markets will not go down. You think I am kidding? Those sudden moves up that you mention are heavy buys orchestrated by central governments. You think this is impossible? Large private banks and governments are tied together in a very close way...

Perfectly stated. The trading game is over for retail traders.

:confused:

Does anyone know how to check graphs/performance for the following Hong Kong listed stocks? Are they all stocks or also futures? MAIN 86001 ADB CNY N2010 CNY 5000 N N N HK0000071412 MAIN 86002 GEG CNY B1312 CNY 2500 N N N HK0000073301 MAIN 80980 AB#HSI RC1112A CNY 10000 N N Y XY0000080980...

We had some interesting opinions, a good sign. Though the initial question was really only about how a referendum (in Greece) can be interpreted by the markets as a terrible event. The implied reason is that Greeks would say No to Europe, en masse, and that this would hinder EU stability...

From most of your opinions, I get the impression that the decay of values is a well known/repetitive cycle and our time is no exception. Be it as it may, the loss of democracy or maybe even just the loss of sensitivity to political scams is perceived by politicians as an implied vote of...

Isn't it amazing how a call to people's direct opinion, an instrument of real democracy (Not like the bullshit elections where you choose from the already chosen ones) can bring such disruption in the market? Isn't it odd and miserable to see how Europe, the cradle of Western civilisation...

I think this is what happens: each MP offers him/herself for sale on a new government of public unity and they put up a new technical, non elected bunch of beaurocrats that take control. (= Germany rules over Greece.)

Eur/usd now testing 1.36. What an amusement seeing Sarkozy as a waiter in Nice :D Garcon!...vite!

Rating agencies have missed on all most major defaults in the last 20 years, either sovereigns or private. They have rated Greek debt A until Dec 2009. Actually Fitch was the first of all agenciy crap to cut Greece below A. They are holding France rating to AAA right this moment despite its...
