Its intelligent design. I can't belive people don't see the irony in this thread, oh maybe its so obvious im the only one stupid enough to point it out.

lol quake 1,2 and III was the games I played. Fast strategic thinking is a must. Timing stuff etc. Knowing how ur enemy moves. Have a visual image of the map is important. After playing lots and lots of hours a weird kind of intuition develops. Many parallels to trading also...

Actually the average IQ is increasing with 3 points for every 10 year or so. The scoring system constantly has to be adjusted to keep the average score at 100. Computer games are partly used explain the increase. At least this is what Im being told at the university. Maybe im just being...

If what must not happen do not happen I know how to make money using price only guaranteed. If im not greedy its like crossing the street.

Never negotiate with terrorists. A country might have a ruthless ruler, or a government that does not respect human rights at all. Should trading with such a country be regulated or banned by the government? Economic isolation might make matter worse, the dictator might build a bomb and...

Free trade is beneficial for all who participate. Norway can sell China oil, China can sell the US consumer goods, the US can sell Norway Hollywood movies. Economic growth is maximized if trade is not regulated. This is just an example, it makes sense for a country to maximize its comparative...

This is just me speculating but im pretty sure the market is efficient to the point where a person with a given set of talent, education and money could not make much more money doing something else with his time. lol what to choose, being a rock star would be fun..

It can also be opposite, a strong currency makes the stock market look strong to foreigners. This can attract investors. A weak currency can scare investors away. I don’t think there is an easy answer to this question. Using logic. A weak currency can be good for the stock market...

Seen in isolation u are right. Also seen in isolation lower rates -> lower $ In economics there are laws and context. Or at least that is what I think.

u pray on peoples weaknesses. This is exactly what the alternative to capitalism does. The size of government reflects the amount of people in a society that have not overcome their own weakness given democracy. Greed is a weakness. Fear is a weakness. Special interests are greedy and fight...

Interesting, the Americans are buying depreciating consumer goods. China is buying depreciating paper. If the US economy tanks, china loses twice, on export and on bonds. Is China more dependent on US growth than US on china growth. Is this a spiral to the ground for both? Who started this and...

Watching from Europe, this is my conclusion as well, most people disagree with me though.

The market values what is scarce and what is popular. If current price is high it might mean there is scarcity for the product or the stock, but the price is of course relative to where price have been before. A stock might be popular for many reasons, hot sector, hot market, hot products...

Jack is such a pleasure to read. His posts on this tread make a lot of sense. Obviously the world needs to be prepared for what comes next, Jack it turns out is handing out the building blocks. HBIMH so many times pulling out anything of value for me to see. Who doesn’t want to stay in...

Value is value, people’s perception of value might change, but still value is value. There are two sources for money supply growth. Banks and the Central bank. People’s perception affects the first source more than the second. In real value is only destroyed if it’s destroyed physically.

Haha I better stay away

If anything Id say the interconnectedness makes things more safe not more risky. The repercussions may be broader, but probably less deep. If there is a crisis in Asia, and US funds feels the impact, it means Asian funds feels less of the impact than they would if only people from Asia invested...

One unified world? I don’t want that before there is a choice between living on earth or another planet. Globalization is a good thing, but there is a good and a bad version. I think one unified world can only exist under either dictatorship or a big world government. Things might start off...

lol this is kind of weird, with one exception SPY, DIA and QQQQ is performing better today than the 31 stocks I have on my buying list, maybe just a coincident..
