    Social Security: How can it ever get exhausted??

    Do that and the ring leaders most probably get the CIA, FBI, IRS, DEA AFT and all the other government goon squads on their case FOREVER. It's a 'free' country don't ya forget :D :D :D

    MySpace, Facebook losing popularity......

    To quote a well known american phrase - "whatever" PS. If you're such a proud american then even on message boards you should use a capital A as in America and not america. PPS. See how brainwashed the majority of US society now is: good = $, bad = no-$.

    Market In Confirmed Rally Mode: Investors Business Daily

    So many in the UK press now saying that stocks are really worth a buy here. Trouble is that 80% of them are fund managers and the other 20% bought and paid for journalists:D :D :D :D :D

    Commodities have fallen on forced liquidation

    Just wondering about these elusive 'big players' who suddenly looked at the economy and then 'took profits'. a) Had they not been looking at the economy beforehand? b) What has changed so dramatically in the economy over the last month in relation to the global commodity bull market...

    MySpace, Facebook losing popularity......

    You've got to remember that web 2.0 was invented by Americans. And almost EVERYTHING they do has a lowest common demoninator of sales/money/profit etc (it's in their DNA). Web 2.0 is therefore more selling substance than real substance and it will be the same with web 3.0 which will be...

    Where Are The ET Inflation Bulls???

    Again, stop trying to forecast the long term trends of a market(s) by what happens on any given day or week. One thing you can always guarantee with commodities is that they have horrible and vicious sell-offs when trending higher (basically the opposite to bear market short covering rallies...

    Where Are The ET Inflation Bulls???

    As I've always said here I love the way so many in the markets call the long term trends by what happens on any given day. Commods down today, long term trend is over! Trend is now down for sure. Commods up tomorrrow - Long term trend is now up! And so on and so on. My advice, turn...

    bush speaking again on the economy

    Really don't know why anyone ever listens to Politicians. Everything is always so stage managed, so full of soundbites. Pretty much like the old time hucksters, they'll tell you whatever you want to hear. For example, at almost every Labour Party conference (held annually in the UK) the...

    What happens with physical delivery when you are short a futures contract and it ...

    You won't be allowed to get that far whether long or short. Broker's don't deal with specs (assuming you're not large) who want to deliver or take delivery so you'll be ordered before expiry or notice day to cover or roll and if you don't agree the broker will close out your position.

    We are making history in the grains

    Anyone noticed how it's almost imposible to watch the news or a sports sprogram and not hear the word 'history' repeated over and over again. 'The first player in history to make a touchdown in 2008' 'History was made today as Nasa launched a space shuttle for the first time ever between...

    Grace cheng power fx course

    Love the way the word 'power' is used in all these crappy courses. 'Power Google Ranking Seminar' 'Power FX Traders Course' 'Power Ebay Sellers Guide' 'Power Real Estate Stategies' I'd bet that any course with 'power' in it or the word 'secret' in the marketing blurb is most...

    Inflation out of control

    Here's an inflation busting car to counter all the US guzzlers. The new Volkswagen Polo Bluemotion 70 miles to the gallon. Reckon it will be a BIG seller and should hold its price on the 2nd hand market very well. If you currently drive a big car and have plenty of money then why not...

    Inflation out of control

    Good question, why doesn't everyone chip in with some ideas/strategies. Can buy index linked bonds (but they're only indexed to the fake inflation figures) Property should do well as will Gold, basically any sort of hard asset. Conversely any paper asset such as a bond or $100 bill won't...

    Inflation out of control

    The real inflation rate in the UK is most probably 8% - 10% at present. Government says it's 4.2% and the Bank of England still thinks its target of 3% can be met :) I'd assume 8% or thereabouts is most probably the rate in the US as well.

    Inflation out of control

    Waiting to be wasted on other things :) Old man Getty made a famous quote many years ago. He was attacked for paying little or no taxes in the UK where he lived because of favourable tax laws for non0Uk citizens. He said something like (and this was in the 1970s) 'do you really think if I...

    Credit Suisse surprise writedowns to cut profit by $1 Billion

    Got nothing to do with 'brains'. Only a fool didn't realise that this mess would come unstuck at some stage in the future, not because people who forecast are so clever, rather because reckless lending always has and always will end in disastor. The 'euro fools' actually played the game just...
