    video card?

    You can get the NVS 290's even cheaper than that via ebay. Gnome swears by them. I have bought cards on Ebay before and they worked great. They last nearly forever as no moving parts in that model.

    How does one intelligently hedge against the risk of a US Dollar collapse?

    so nice to see that someone gets it! totally agree with this. can't tell you how many arguments I've had with ETers about China not needing the US. these folk read too much press. They don't seem to get your third bullet point. Others need US trade to purchase from China, not to mention that...

    What's it really like on Main St, USA now?

    please don't quote GDP. Almost no economists worth their salt use this as an indicator as it is extremely lagging (tells you after the fact), and the #'s are usually way off. look at the revisions for the past two months (revised way down). The government likes to use GDP as an indicator so that...

    What's it really like on Main St, USA now?

    I can't believe you STILL have shutters on your eyes. Citi announced last night they are now considering selling the company, AND we are now OFFICIALLY in the worst bear market since the Great Depression. Since prices are the only thing that matter to you, and not facts, how many times have you...

    What's it really like on Main St, USA now?

    Here is the latest data from today only in this "mental" recession: - jobless claims highest in 16 years. - Philly Fed Index worst since '90. - Stocks reach prices last seen in 1997. No worries though. This hard data can't be real, its all mental. About a dozen countries are close to...

    What's it really like on Main St, USA now?

    Very obvious here in San Diego. Seems every 4th expensive home along the Strand (beach boardwalk) is for sale or auction. Several boarded up shops in the largest mall. My buddies, college grads all, are hurting big time. One has a boat biz where he hasn't sold a thing in months (if it wasn't for...

    I got SERIOUSLY robbed by Oanda

    you folks do understand that non commish fx firms make their money trading against you, ya? Go to a commission merchant! the tighter spreads alone will make up for the commission, and they will always fill you. Oanda fills you only if they wish to. there is an unbelievable number of...

    Salt Lake City / Park City

    I lived in PC for 10 years (beginning in 1981 right out of high school). Boy I miss it, and was there recently to look into moving back. Not even remotely the same town! It was a town of 5,000 when I was there, Nothing between the freeway and Three Kings but beautiful ranch land. Full on...

    the UK, the next Iceland

    so your point is... The UK has 6 % def, but look around. Who has the power to spend? The US and the UK. No one else. No, not China. They are in full on panic mode.

    the UK, the next Iceland

    UK is hurting, But I seriously doubt they are on the "Iceland" path for many reasons. They are the "1" fx exchange on the planet, and more importantly, Yanks love them, and in no way will allow them to fail. So you counter with "what happens when the Yanks implode?" Well, if that...

    It’s 2008. The U.S. Has Dragged the World into a Depression.

    SA, It seems your entire life is nothing but US bashing. That is OK, many people do this. But why do you live here? Many people have asked you this, but you never answer. GO BACK TO BRAZIL.

    We must be awash in oil...

    First of all, oil never should have been there. Classic bubble market. Yes, it will over shoot on the downside. How long have you been trading? This shit happens over and over in commodities markets.

    "The China Price" - The best business article I have seen in years.

    China has just announced a half TRILLION dollar infrastructure program. This is a make work program folks. They are extremely paranoid about a workers' revolt, and NEED 8% growth per year to employ the 24 million entering the workforce each year. That is a net number. On a related note...

    China's Nuclear economic option

    Oh. it has nothing to do with eternal anything. Do you trust China to do anything with your money? OK, put your cash in a Chinese bank and tell me how that goes. Cmon econ bro, money where your mouth is... Hmmmm. No one wants to invest in China now. Imagine that?

    China's Nuclear economic option

    Bob, you are a sweet kid, but it does not work that way. There is a flight to dollars cause where else? Euros? If that currency exists in 5 years it will be a miracle, Ya wanna give up your control over your own interest rates? Ask Spain and Greece, both on the cusp of the EU. If...

    China's Nuclear economic option

    I hear ya Bob, I am more of a day trader, even though 20 years of IRA's are at risk. Bottom line Bob, this is what is happening: 1) confidence in the entire system going to shit. 2) ironically enough, fleeing to dollars (where else are they going to go. Not even sure there will be a...
