Don't forget that only applies to day traders. Hedge Funds can't suddenly liquidate 3B worth in MSFT shares in a single session. Stocks have liquidity, but not that much liquidity. If the major funds start flooding the exits, we don't know where this market will go.

From, what I see. Most people on ET like to talk out of their asses

Those CNBC commentators are usually talking out of their asses. Why would they admit further weakness, just to have bigger fund outflows. There's no financial incentive to admit to a weaker market.

If you don't understand that paragraph. They basically said, the cuts in spending. Were not enough to balance the US budget over time.

Why S&P didn't reconsider it's downgrade. "While the rate of the growth in debt slowed and was lower than first calculated, it never stopped growing and became sustainable, the criteria by which S&P had said last month it would judge the US. It had said it was looking for $4 trillion of cuts but...

hahahahahaha

Not really because S&P has the best track record, for analyzing amongst the three agencies. Why else do you think the US stock market trades based on the S&P500 index? It's because it's the most well rounded index. S&P is the gold standard amongst the credit rating agencies.

We should allow market factors play out over time. Rather than trying to manipulate ourselves out of this mess. The problem I had with the 2Trillion in cuts. Is that it didn't solve deficit problems, and the cut in spending was going to lead to a contraction of GDP growth. With 4 Trillion in...

Thank you, and yeah I forgot that the dollar was paired to gold in the Depression. But, if we were based on the same economic system we live in, back in the 1930's. People would hoard currency over gold.

IF you don't believe me. Watch what happens every time the stock market pulls back, and the bond market rallies. The value of the USD goes up. On a much more rapid, and chaotic scale. The USD would increase in value 10-100x with the collapse of the money multiplier effect. Only a true student of...

Gold is a reliable commodity in times on deflation, and inflation. However it's not a generally accepted standard, and no matter what you say. Everyone recognizes a dollar bill, and therefore a dollar bill will be an accepted standard. Especially when bank deposits disappear, free floating paper...

Yeah BUT IF I WAS THE US GOVERNMENT WHY WOULD I SELL GOLD? WHEN IT'S GOING UP IN VALUE? I MEAN HOW STUPID IS THAT?

Government's primary job is to have laws that protect citizens, but not so intrusive that it limits creative capital. Therefore I disagree with your thesis on taxing Chinese imports, that would pass the cost onto the consumer, and not the corporation.

Borrowing in general debases a currency, so not only is the US government, or any government robbing others of purchasing power. We the citizens of any nation, that consumes on borrowed money. Is robbing the future purchasing power, for later generations. Again inflation is a natural process...

*sighs* the biggest form of inflation is the money multiplier effect caused by rapid consumption through the use of credit, by the people of a nation. It's not enough for a government to excessively borrow. It would need an increase in borrowing from the civilians that reside within a nation to...

Since you know what a reserve currency is, than define it. The only reason why countries accept our reserve currency status. Is by our information, industrial, agricultural, military, economical and nuclear dominance.

I AGREE

When costs accelerate that fast. Many resort to planting their own seeds, and farming their own food. Rapid debasement of currency supply caused by excessive lending, and little oversight. Increases the total amount of dollars chasing a limited number of goods. The best way to solve a problem...

I doubt it, wages in China are going up, and around the world for that matter. Manufacturing isn't where job growth is at. It's in technology, and other fields outside of manufacturing. The rise of the periphery nation is going from awful to a little better than awful. Eventually they will face...
