Bring inflation and wage growth during the 70’s into the picture and you will find that your case is Chicken Little.

I’ve only read the last few pages of this thread so hoping that that I’m not repeating what has already been said. There is one piece of work that comes to mind that was purportedly channeled which is very Christian to me and that is A Course in Miracles.

The DOW looks even more ominous to me. We'll know soon if higher prices can be sustained or if it’s a bull trap that is about to be sprung.

Thanks niceneasy. I might add that healthy US company earnings that are underpinning the indices are merely reflecting the high level of unsustainable borrowing (and spending) that is taking place and will quickly evaporate as consumers throw in the towel en masse. What is also particularly...

I went through most of the "what is an edge" thread the other day which did not take as long as expected after I realized that there was no value in reading the posts by samson/takenoprisoners. I was going to post something on my interpretation on what constitutes an edge and comment on the LRC...

Anyone who reads Reminiscences of a Stock Operator and does not end up with a deep sense of love and respect for Jesse Livermore needs to take the silver spoon out of their mouth, stop sheltering under their mother's bosom, and take a close look at themselves. The man left home with nothing as a...

Read Ron Paul's speech http://www.house.gov/paul/congrec/congrec2006/cr021506.htm At the end of the day it comes back to demand/supply. If demand for US dollars wanes because nations are increasingly buying oil with Euros then the free ride that the US has experienced over the decades at...

The chances are that nothing so dramatic will happen in March, but a serious crisis is inevitable considering the irresponsible nature of the US government and the Fed. Anyone who thinks that the M3 statistic is being dropped for reasons other than to facilitate the acceleration of debt...

"Your trials do not come to punish you but to awaken you" Paramahansa Yogananda

I was talking in general terms and agree that it is wise for anyone with sufficient capital to at least own their own house rather than rent. You may well be certain of the interest rate if you cap, but what you do not know, leaving aside the fact that housing is precariously perched for a big...

Most of the people calling a top in real-estate that I come across have sold within the last 2 years and are comfortably waiting for it to decline, but not the slight decline that you expect. They will most certainly be back investing in real-estate in better times which by the looks of it are...

I don’t see it that way. Looking at ratboy's post that you quote I would say that in relation to the national debt his warnings came way after the horse had bolted and were just his way of maintaining the façade, and perceptions towards him after leaving office. In relation to the Nasdaq...

Thanks for the article EqtTrdr. I had always believed that one grows wiser with age, but that belief was shattered by Greenie. To quote him at a much younger age for example: "Once stock prices reach the point at which it is hard to value them by any logical methodology, stocks will be...

Fear is not real, it's just a concept in your head about some negative future event that in all probability will never occur exactly as you imagined, if at all (the whole subject is covered extensively in Buddhism, so please do some research before ridiculing). I think it was Mark Twain that...

My post was specifically directed at dont’s ill informed comment and not an inducement on anyone to blindly accumulate gold without addressing their particular circumstances. Although I hold physical gold, I am not particularly fond of the stuff, and only hold it as a form of insurance, which...

Pick any nation that has gone through a currency crisis and have a look at the price of gold in terms of that currency and you will have a much more realistic perspective on the matter than you have now. I can remember quite clearly how elated some Indonesians were that I came across in 1997 at...

I should have checked google before posting that interview as it is already on the net. You can find more interviews here: http://www.eckharttolle.com/home.php?section=news&type=News&show=NEWS%20-%20Interviews Scroll down on this page...

ET: I don't know what I would do, because I can only know what is right in an actual situation which demands a response. It's very hard when you look at hypotheticals. What we can do is look at the dysfunction in its collective aspects that we're witnessing now. We can see, for...
