The payment structure has to change because the word "bonus" has a negative connotation. I know a guy who works for Morgan Stanley as a money market rep and he was telling me that his bonus is nothing more than a salary structure and he shouldn't have his salary cut because government forced...

I have excel running with dde links and use amibroker at the same time. Keep in mind I only use 20 symbols and 10 columns of data with excel and on the first day I used 250 mb before 1:00 pm central. I cannot believe how fast I was using data. For me the 5gb limit kills it. Also if you want...

Good grief. Schiff never said the dollar would go to zero. He said it could fall 50-80% and you should protect yourself with gold. He also said that he has no idea how long it will take before this occurs so he recommends buying dividend paying, non multinational, foreign companies where you...

This is a typical response from someone with and agenda. We are talking about Barney Frank, not Republicans or Democrats. So the question remains. Why is this slimeball, who talks out of both sides of his mouth, not getting some of the blame for the subprime mess?

There is always an ego in the group.

I watch a lot of CNBC(I Know) and hardly anybody on that show believes there will be hyperinflation. I don't believe there will be hyperinflation either but 10% inflation is not out of the question.

Sickening isn't it? I also hate the way CNBC kisses his butt during interviews. How does this guy get elected?

Now THAT is a thread killer.:D

If other countries inflate their way the only currency you can't print will rise relatively. You will likely see gold rising against all currencies. I find it funny how there is a race now devalue currency. If everybody devalues, what good does it do? You cannot create wealth by fudging the...

Reserve currency status and a printing press.

Give me a break. His firm is not a discount broker. He advocates buy and hold. How could his firm make money if the didn't charge commissions? Funny how some people don't feel that full service brokers should exist. I was a broker at a full service firm years ago and there are al lot of...

When they stop supplying the drugs, forced rehab.

I am not short bonds for the record. I am just watching it closely because sooner or later it is going to crack. We will see the signs before it breaks wide open.

How can the rest of the world pony up for our benefit? How is this lending really helping their own situations? It can't hold up. I remember the 50 page housing bubble threads on this site and how there were always posters saying that house prices could stay elevated for years. You can dig...

Having the reserve currency has its perks.

Damn, what is your grandfathers' diet?

I can certainly see your point. The way I see it, if the dollar moves substantially lower against the Yen(another 30 %) import prices will rise reguardless of the demand situation. When imports rise, domestic prices also rise. Bonds can't hold up under those conditions.

But why did they do that? From what I understand, and I could be wrong, was that gold was held artificially low and they were just bringing it back to equilibrium. Now, gold and the currencies float. Any change now will signal a loss of confidence in the USD.

It all depends on the USD. If the USD holds up OR gold doesn't go substantially higher, bonds will hold up. When you see the USD starting to break down, nobody will buy those bonds.

How do you know when the storm has blown over and to get out? I guess when you are losing your ass on them then you know it is time to get out. :D
