not one reply to such an up coming important subject. The banks have already restricted borrowings, so where is the money

I am curious to know where the money goes when banks severely restrict mortgages. Does the fed stop printing or is the credit taken up in iraq or does everyone simply grab more credit cards. If the fed stops printing surely that is going to set off a new round of problems. just curious.

Nobody knows anything about ProphetX. I thought that someone on ET would be using it or would have researched it.

I know nothing about ProphetX software and am interested to hear from anyone who has knowledge or experience with it as the website is not very forth coming. I know there is a free trial but I would like to hear from ET first.

Does anyone here trade to meet daily targets and if so do they stop work when they hit their target.

They are different sides of the same problem. They both reflect a lack of appreciation and understanding of the subject matter, be it trading or any other endeavor.

This basically the guts of the equation

The banks never lose sight of this. All we have seen so far is the first shake of the tree. The most secure properties are freehold and the weakest link is the subprime. Gradually the banking system will work it's way through the subprimes and then the alt A in order to shake out the...

What size frame do you use for ES

not a bad opinion. also, with more money in the pockets of home owners with negative equity, the lenders have more options with which to spread the credit crunch. The banks need time to spread this load and once it is contained you can bet that rates will rise again to favor the banks...

quite right. Nixon can proudly claim to be the begining of the end. The next step is for more oil producers to commence selling in a basket of currencies and then begin reducing the dollar content. The idea that the us can use credit in order to build a military in order to defend it's...

could'nt agree more, but the boys in the fed have made a softish landing out of the question. the temptation to print money to pay for imported oil has overwhelmed them completely and now there is the small matter of tourism in iraq. a bit like working in a chocolate factory. the temptation...

now we are on a roll. you were'nt living in japan for the last 15 years by any chance.

Now you are entering into the spirit of things. The trick is to place money in the pockets of the poor and yet restrict their access to RE by way of let us say, 20% deposit and repayments no greater than 35% of proven income. This way you will get stagflation.

excellent point. but what if the banks raise the lending criteria as the fed expands supply. I know, I know you will say that cash is king and the rich will get richer but is'nt that the way things are geared to move

No response and here I am thinking that ET's have an educated opinion on everything. If the Fed could inflate money supply without inflating asset values, then surely it would be the new new thing. I know that you will say they would be promoting stagflation, but I say what the hell, who...

That clears that up then.

Excellent point. So far we are in step. What is your take on the Colima area?

What if the FED continues to expand money supply, but the banks raise the mortgage criteria in order to divert the money elsewhere. Would incomes rise enabling existing mortgages to be met. Would the bubble be passed elsewhere. It is a little like squeezing the toothpaste tube in the...
