They should have appointed a genius from Elite Trader, not some guy who's only claim to fame is teaching economics at Stanford, New York and Princeton. His lowering the interest rates might save some families from homelessness but my car's really expensive to fill up now! :p

YES I AM!!! YOU CANNOT HEAR ME BUT, I ASSURE YOU, I AM VERY, VERY LOUD!!!

The market will go up and down. It's called 'fluctuation'.

Oh you're quick with the insults. What, you realised you're wrong again? I've already stated there won't be a takeover or did you fail reading comprehension? If you want to talk about Real GDP then what's the Real GDP in the US? Now extrapolate that figure for 20 years. Oh and before you...

(Edited the crazy) Yeah I was of the same opinion, although I saw gold maybe touching $825 in the 3 waves before going back up to $1000. What do you think it'll do once it gets up there? I'm thinking it could stay in the 800-1000 trading range for the summer before climbing higher in autumn...

A lot less like 2 trillion, at least you admit it when you're wrong. Now look at China's growth statistics for the last 6 years - see a pattern? You're delusional if you think China's growth will be limited to 5% per year. In Q1 of 2008 it's still growing in double figures, annualized, amid...

Ah! I see how this thread will turn out, a West vs East twat-fest. Well I'd like to say I'm not anti-anything, 'cept racist ignorants. That includes some 'Mericans and some Chinese. The important facts are there for anyone to see; population and innovation are two. I really don't give a shit...

Thanks, ignorance fought :)

Just pointing out the flaws in your stats. China's GDP is not 2 trillions, more like 4. Extrapolate that as you wish, it's your money after all. And do you think inflation figures for the US and UK are correct?

Any statistics for that claim? Not the savings:lending ratio because we all live in a fiat economy, but relevant figures?

Figures from the CIA: GDP (purchasing power parity): $7.043 trillion (2007 est.) GDP (official exchange rate): $3.249 trillion (2007 est.) GDP - real growth rate: 11.4% (2007 est.) GDP - per capita (PPP): $5,300 (2007 est.) GDP - composition by sector: agriculture: 11.7% industry: 49.2%...

I thought there was this thing that airlines use called hedging the cost of fuel - the one unknown variable in their business plan - so oil price rises would not affect them? Next bust airline? Pakistan International Airlines for their old, inefficient airplanes.

And Renault-Nissan are forming a partnership with an Indian car company to produce a rival. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7395643.stm

Plus the savings on the building/s, insurance, heat/ac, water, cleaners, IT equipment, furniture, maintenance. If they can get away without providing medical or a pension you're almost as cheap as a third world worker.

ENFJ Extraverted Intuitive Feeling Judging Strength of the preferences % 56 62 25 44 I have a hunch it's flawed. You usually answer what you'd like to be like. You'd need someone else who's close to you to mark your answers to get a different perspective...

China is a maximum of 30 years away from catching up, India will take a bit longer. I've lived in China and the building work and infrastructure growth there is incredible. A power station gets built there every 2 weeks. Just imagine what they can do in 20 years. The EU has already overtaken the...

Wait, now the price of oil is rocketing the Republicans will get voted out because of their foreign policy, new efforts are being made to effectively harness alternative energy sources, people are driving and flying less creating less pollution and most Democrats are complaining? Did I miss...

No point in getting greedy, eh, fortuna? That was a great call back in March. FWIW I agree the market's looking overbought, ripe for a pullback. I'm thinking we could see a low of around 1330-50 accompanied with some doom-laden headlines followed by a rally starting in August and continuing...

Definitely worth looking into. I've worked with a lot of people who would see this fraud as a perk of their job.

No, I'm sure there are plenty more Americans with your feelings of superiority.
