Phew!When I saw you'd replied to my post I became filled with dread.Dread,that is,that I'd have to endure reading a load more waffle(or should that be Belgian waffle):D What difference would it make if I've only made 26 posts anyway? All you've done is 1029 bullshit posts,usually trying...

No,still not convinced,Poirot.Sounds like a bit of a dump.If you're a good example of a Belgian person then it's likely to be filled up with arrogant,boring deadbeats as well. Just checked out a few of your posts and it seems I'm not the only one who thinks you're a real dickhead.But with...

Nothing to do with the mistype. Read the thread again.This guy has a rude tone in his posts and is very patronising should someone have a different opinion.People post a counter-argument,he is rude and the poster doesn't usually bother replying.But I will. And frankly I don't appreciate...

Actually cvds16 called people who didn't agree with him highly ignorant and when I questioned him was called a moron. So what's this got to do with you?

Hey Poirot,what is this bizarre obsession you have with living under rocks? Do you not have proper houses in Belgium?I mean,I know no-one even knows where Belgium is,anyone famous from there or what the country has ever done but I thought that at least you might have proper houses by now...

Hey Poirot,looks like someone pointed out that you got your facts about this wrong,still,you'll probably just ignore that post,hell,if you believe that it's what happened then it must have,huh? So the one claim to fame that you credit to Belgium was the European Union.CONGRATULATIONS.Well...

Hey Poirot,glad to see you're as boring as ever.Almost fell asleep reading this last post,as if anyone cares whether you have a good accent,let alone if you speak "English fluent". OK,here's a question for other posters: Before you have to do a Google Search,can you think of 5 famous...

No need to throw your toys out of your pram Poirot,it's not my fault if you live in a country that no-one cares about. Maybe you should think about moving?To China maybe?Then you can learn Chinese and add that to your ever-growing list of useless languages that you can speak.Hell,why not go...

Actually Poirot,I'm fluent in the only two languages that count,English and Spanish.Why on earth would anyone other than a Dutchman need to speak Dutch?I've lived in America,Mexico,Spain and the UK and have never in all that time needed to speak French or German,in fact I've hardly even come...

Nice one,Poirot.Before you declare yourself the authority on economics you might want to learn to read and write in English,your posts are littered with both spelling and grammatical errors and it somewhat dents your credibility. Don't you think it's kind of ironic that you misspelt 'ignorant'?

Are you honestly saying the economy needs slowing down? The economy is grinding to a halt without a rate raise. I guess some things you can't learn from a book.

I guess that's why the Fed,the ECB and the MPC are doing such a great job of keeping all their economies in the awful position they are currently in. Because they've read a ton of books on macro-economics and are educated in that field to an extremely high degree but in reality know nothing...

Is this the same economic theory that if you want to stop a housing market collapse,you cut rates sharply?How's that working out?This 1/4 point rate raise is a big waste of time and will do more harm than good.

Trichet announced his intentions to raise rates to combat inflation,oil made new highs soon after. ECB actually raises and...................oil still going up. How are they helping fight inflation in any way,shape or form?Yet their actions are hurting others even more. ECB=European...

That's what I'm talking about.Seems like money in the Bank generating interest(admittedly not that great in the US at the moment)without the risk of capital evaporation makes sense. If WTI goes up to $250 a barrel,DOW will be in bad trouble,rates will go up to try and fight inflation hence...

This was along the lines of what I was talking about - using some sort of property management firm to deal with it,finding tenants,checking them out,answering their bullsh!t problems,collecting payments and for all their effort receiving a percentage of rent.I wasn't thinking about popping round...

Good thread man,when you're up in the really early hours staring at the flashing numbers it can be really depressing.I moved to the UK because I trade European futures markets and just couldn't handle the permanent jet-lag feeling.Up mostly for the wretched 1am opens,working all night then...

OK guys,great to get some different perspectives on what people should do,I wasn't just posting just for myself as I'm sure there are many others out there in a similar quandry. Interesting that no-one mentioned buying a house,renting it out to get the return then hoping for long-term capital...

OK,I'll be a little clearer,I'm currently living in the UK where you get 5% in the Bank and tying it up for 6 months to a year you can get 6-6.5% At the end of the year the capital remains the same and on a significant deposit the returns are definitely 'nice'. It seems everything else is...

It seems even 'safe' investments these days are not quite so.Relatively 'safe' shares have tumbled and the global Stock markets have tanked,the housing market has melted down,inflation is out of control - it beggars the question - why bother taking the risk of investing when you can just leave...
