    Black Monday: Nuclear Meltdown in Japan

    That's hydrogen. Just becuase you have a video of a dust-cloud doesn't make it nuclear fallout, no matter how "deteriorating" the media says it is or how many videos they edit for those voice-overs. People need to use their heads.

    Black Monday: Nuclear Meltdown in Japan

    1000 times higher than normal is still less than a TSA full-body scan. Don't get suckered-in by the hype.

    Black Monday: Nuclear Meltdown in Japan

    Agree with everything you said, and would add that LWRs don't "melt down". The type of reactor that is damaged is unable to cause a catastrophe but hell, why let facts get in the way of a good story?

    Is It over For the U.S. - The Ecstasy of Empire

    I don't like stating the obvious. You can use google to figure out how the fed expands it's balance sheet.

    Is It over For the U.S. - The Ecstasy of Empire

    that article is horeshit. I stopped reading here: "The only remaining financier is the Federal Reserve. When Treasury bonds brought to auction do not sell, the Federal Reserve must purchase them. The Federal Reserve purchases the bonds by creating new demand deposits, or checking accounts...

    Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant - another Chernobyl?

    1000 times normal is still not enough to cause health problems. It sounds worse then it is Chicken Little.

    Facebook worth 60 billion someday?

    too many people on there with 3-4 accounts, not to mention all the bot accounts. Sure, they have 500 million accounts, but I'm sure the real, unique user number is 20-30% under that, easy. China has it's own version of FB so forget about talking about China growth.

    Is Ben Bernanke off his rocker?

    Call me what you want but I'm pragmatic and don't like tin-foil head fashions. The Fed has made some huge mistakes, but to think you or I know more than they do is idiotic. I digress: have your crack 100 man MBA research team get back to those M3 projections for next month.... while they're...

    Is Ben Bernanke off his rocker?

    We have low short-term rates because the fed has set the overnight rate at essentially zero. Purchasing long-term US bonds causes the coupon to fall, and the yield curve flattens.

    QE is bond buying which causes the yield curve to flatten - nothing is "handed out". I'm not sure what the percentage is, but because of the amount of debt held overseas, I can see it having more of an impact abroad. Most of the govt. bonds in the US are held by the fed and frankly their...

    If they cannot afford and provide the basic necessities for these children, then should not be having them. Place the blame where it belongs: the parents.
