Well the west did their everything to keep him in power in WW2 and thus beyond.

He'd probably like it.

What if the 'capitulation' never happens because the big boys pre-empt the capitulation dive. Or just zig zag a few more times until the 'capitulationists' have been finally suckered into the rise, OMG I missed the capitulation, now it's going up, all in now! A true capitulation would only be...

Good ideas about the GDP but a slightly misleading conclusion, it's not that the dollar is so great, but that other currencies are turning worse. EUR/USD at 1.40 is still historically way high while eurozone is sliding into a significant recession.

Oh but they do, it's just that the cars aren't theirs!

Umm as China is flush with cash how is it going to take them decades to pay for anything? Their main problem seems to be the inability to use that cash in a productive fashion. Investing in US govt bonds is something for developed countries to park their pension money, not the way for a...

McCrap is expensive in Europe, if the euro economy tanks it'll hit MCD as well. Asia is different, there McCrap is relatively cheap.

It doesn't need to if EUR weakens. :D

Even worse is if the 'faulty' spike triggers a stop loss (or you just close manually when price starts going heavily against you) followed by real price action into same direction. Oanda rolls the closing trade back and voila, your losing position is back, this time probably heavily in red as...

BRK.A was only $60,000 at 2001-2003 lows, yet that was not a time of suffering for financials and housing, or even consumer, which make up a significant core of BRK holdings. It's admirable how well The Buffett Magic has kept BRK stock price in the sky against all realities.
