Americans are hard workers for most part. Bankers, Doctors, Nurses, Lawyers are all overpaid, but they do work very hard for their money.

That is hilarious. Most affluent people in US buy lots of German goods, appliances that cost 1000s of dollars, expensive cars, heavy machinery, precision equipment, medical equipment, the list goes on.

People who propose VAT should go and visit Europe. I have never shopped in Europe for the fear of VAT. Things get expensive real fast. Further, VAT slows down the economy and consumption and economies of scale, thereby resulting in even higher prices. VAT could put an upward pressure of up...

Cramer and CNBC do serve an important function. They are targeting the average novice investor. Sylvan can not talk to these newbies. It does not make sense to have someone like Sylvan and Cramer on the show together. Cramer an entertainer can not have a discussion with someone like...

I think Europe needs less taxes if anything. Let alone business, I do not even want to visit Europe due to all those Taxes.

True in theory only. UK has had 100s of generation where they had already made it and had the wealth, but they kept going at it. it is only in the last 2 generations after WW2 that kids in UK just do not want to work anymore.

This is exactly what I wanted to post and then I saw your post. The speed with which the Chinese are growing is amazing though. Most of this growth is coming from the transfer of technology from the west. This has never happened in the past that so many countries have just given another...

Bonds are complicated. Yes, we all know that the rates will rise and bonds will fall in value. But timing is everything. 30 years Bonds are yielding just under 5% and if they stay at that level for another 5 years, someone who believes that the rates will stay low and invests in them and...

I don't think corn syrup is in everything. Buy fresh produce, fruits, harmone free milk and a good quality bread. Do not ever drink a can of soda or juice in a bottle. Make your own fresh Juice at home. Simple as that. The only corn you need is pop corn when watching movies. Do not...

I am hoping that there be no more dips. No one wins in recessions. Growth is a good thing. I think we are in for a long L

Carbs are like petrol in car. You need it to do the daily tasks. People who eat less carbs are prone to be more irritable and miserable. Humans need less protein that they really eat. All this protein really turns into fat if you just eat it and sit whole day. Of the 2000 cals, 1200...

May I state that many of these countries that you seem to be ridiculing like Kazakhstan have come a long way in the last 10 years. They are working and saving and not consuming continuously. Having said that, this will be very bad for silicon valley if Taxes sky rocket. People do not want...

I see nothing wrong with people enjoying the money their parents earned and saved. I see nothing wrong with women driving mercedes and never having to work and live in grand homes if the spouse is working for them. What is annoying is that there are lots of people who made and are still...

I can see why housing got expensive. Too many overpaid lawyers and benefits of the workers. I can see why medical costs are out of hand. Overpaid doctors and too many lawyers. What I can not figure out how it is that the college has gotten so expensive. College professors are for most...

I think Faber needs to get a real job. The guy has never really had a productive job, as in working to produce something of value, even McDonalds is considered a real productive job. Sitting on the arse whole day and wearing a Tie and managing other people's money and get a cut out of that...

I think I was a 10 year old and keen on going to the movies. Then this friend of mine tells me that his parents have never let him watch movies since those movies are on TV in a matter of year or so and that too for free. Somehow, I saw the logic in what he states. A family of 4 can easily...

Markets are a mere 21% down from the all time high on DJIA. The economic conditions are not great. This goes to show that the stock market has little to do with the real economic reality. It is also possible that the people in the know know something that we do not know, for instance, they...

Imagine that there is Hyperinflation and you need to get your groceries, would anyone be concerned with their portfolios. Those shares in Yahoo or Cisco will not mean much. Even gold may stop working.

The CC Companies want one thing and one thing only. They want us to screw up. Simple as that. They do not want us to be sorry for being late on the payment. They want our money. Why is it a surprise?

You think broke people will be able to pay the top doctor salaries. Doctors are the next one to get the pay cut. I also think that going up the ladder may not be the best option if you are looking for security. USA will remain the country where the innovation will happen and if you are just...
