German real estate prices will stay where they are unless some reforms are made to promote home ownership. Germany is one of the few countries in Western Europe where it is required to pay down 10-20% on a mortgage. It's also one of the few countries where mortgage interest isn't deductable from...

It would be a major impulse. Democracy equals increased participation of the chinese population in the creation of wealth. This increase will translate into higher valuations elsewhere in the world, especially the US.

This is the answer to the stimulus question. Cut government spending , eliminate the majority of the tax burden and introduce a flat tax. Ofcourse this will not be implimented since it doesn't involve government programs and government jobs.

Why men feel the need to marry such women is beyond me. Doing household chores and driving the kids to soccer practise is not a job. In no way does it compare to the responsibilities and burdens of her husband's career.

Liquidity provision is the result of credit expansion not of production. If I place my order at the bid I don't actually produce anything or provide a service in the traditional sense. Nor do I see any reason why my order would contribute anything to the total sum of knowledge, when it might as...

People are definitely being generous with the word 'luck' here. Warren Buffett's "luck" consists of identifying the right investment principles (Graham's) and modifying them to include the value of great management and other intangible assets.

Bailouts of this kind will only maintain oversupply. The DRAM market has had terrible fundamentals for some years now. The only way outlook for that market can change is to have the DRAM industry reach its LD-50, the point at which the highest cost producers are forced to liquidate.

In 12 months time the government has created 3.5 trillion and swapped hundreds of billions in worthless assets for treasuries. Ofcourse this will lead to inflation in the near future. Not just that, every government in the world is planning to do the same thing: devalue the currency and spend...

The trader does not "add value" in the traditional sense of the word, which is to render a service. The trader deals in transfering risk from one party to another. His profits derive from changes in the perception of his counter parties. If you think that to be prosperous equates to render...

The Fed will issue this debt against their ability to create money. The debt will eventually be payed off with newly created funds which means that inflation is inevitable. The basic idea behind this plan is to give the Federal Reserve a tool to spread out inflation more evenly. Since new...

Low interest rates in the US and a devalued dollar will certainly finance growth in the rest of the world in the same way the cheap yen has for the last two decades. This will reboot credit markets and will prevent a Great Depression style deflation. It'll also curb real growth in the US for...

I have been trading full time for three years now. After I graduate from university I will change my residency to one of the gulf states to take advantage of the low tax rates. From there on I will live as a perpetual tourist. I will rent furnished apartments in exciting metropols and change...

The Federal Reserve engineered a reduction in the money supply which can be seen as a tightening in calculated M3 between March and July of this year. July marked a peak in commodities and a bottom in the USD and this is the interval at which the deleveraging started. Deleveraging means...

21. Utrecht, the Netherlands. Full time trader in Index futures (FDAX and ES). I have been trading for three years. I'm also persuing degrees in both law and philosophy.

I pay €1544 per annum in tuition fees to attend a prominent research university in the Netherlands. I will graduate with degrees in law and philosophy. This seems like a very reasonable tuition. To pay more is to be over charged. There's absolutely no good reason to go into debt for...

If the put options move in the money does IB require you to have the full aggregate exercise price in cash? In this case that would be $36,000 for 3 contracts with a strike price of 120. Assuming the possibility of 2 for 1 margin, would $18,000 suffice?

Sears made the bulk of its profit by selling credit swaps. There's absolutely no tell as to the current position of their liabilities. Lampart has held C from $40 so it's likely that he's caught on the wrong side of the CDO market as well. Sears in 2006 said: "Investors in Sears have been...

Every market segment will correct, this city was built on leverage. It'll be a great oppurtunity to pick up some good real estate in Manhattan.
