Well I was hoping for a more intellectual debate but behinds getting bigger as a long term trend? I can't argue with that one.

In response to the thread on the last decade to nowhere for the S&P. Stock markets and currencies seem to be pricing in a global recession at the moment, although you might infer that we're just facing a normal cyclical event with the US financial and housing woes and deficits just the start...

Good article, cheers. I think people are listening to him now, and all empires fail eventually especially when there's another, potentially a lot bigger, one draining it's capital. After all it was the US that financed Britain in WWII and paying that back, with interest, plus rebuilding the...

Lol, the guy's a very shrew operator and he knows a lot more than he's letting the usual dumb fuck know. If you do exactly the opposite of everything he says you'd make a little money but sometimes he's talking about shit that only comes out much, much later. Best to avoid any time he speaks.

You can invest the money in the stock market and/or in yourself. If you have a learning persona try some courses that could be of benefit to you, such as a second language. Then try living in that country for a few years to experience another way to look at problem solving. You'll do much better...

From what I see the party won't be over until the speculators agree on another avenue (maybe they already have). What ever it is you can discount any commodity that's already risen far enough to cause political and social tensions and also those which don't have a large enough market to sustain...

:D That's priceless, wave. A point similar to one I was going to make; that until inflation comes down you can't add food and energy.

Duly noted.

That's a bit unfair. Just because someone has no idea about supply chains doesn't mean they can't be intuitively correct about economies and markets. As you say nobody can predict when things are going to happen, just as they can't predict to what extent a trend will continue (I nicked that off...

Hi Gringinho, maybe my point didn't come across clearly enough - I was joking. Men and women come in all shapes and sizes around the World, some will be honest others not as much. Until you experience a country (for however short a time) you will not know if you would like living there...

Hey, this is the thread where people get to make rash, ill thought out and probably racist generalizations about cultures they barely know or understand, right? Great! Here goes! Philippines - money sucking whores Singapore - money sucking whores Indonesia - money sucking whores...

I don't think a large percentage of that 2 billion will have private, oil-fueled, transport though. A lot of Chinese use motor scooters that you take the battery out of to charge overnight, and that electricity comes from coal power more than oil. And China has a lot of uranium for when the coal...

Why don't you Ask the boss: Jeroen van der Veer? http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/natural_resources/article3960796.ece

Oh I couldn't agree more, he's a special breed of Chinese who use the internet as some sort of tool. It's to keep the Chinese peoples separated from other cultures by way of outlandish (and often racist) statements that are, admittedly, argued very well and diversive. Don't let the language they...

*clapping* Nice troll, excellent work there I think you pretty much covered all the bases. And extra credit for your faux 'English is not my first language' writing.

Yeah it's just the way it's worded makes him sound like King Canute. What I want to know is if they're not exporting oil what the heck will they export? With a population of 15m and decent reserves of 100bn barrels plus natural gas they should be the next Saudis, so I still don't understand...

"I have signed a decree today banning exports of oil products," Prime Minister Karim Masimov told a government meeting. "We must stop the growth (of fuel prices)." LOL!

Yeah they might have to buy a new phone card if they travel out of the province. BIG oppression there. :p I think your friends meant traveling out of the country is difficult if you're Chinese. You have to fill in more forms than would be the case in the west, plus there's usually some...

Greenspan was on performance-related pay, every interest rate rise meant another all expenses paid trip to Atlantic City. Maybe Bernanke could get off his high horse and just admit the economy has won, he might as well just lower the Fed funds rates to - 1 so everybody can start making...
