    Intersting economic perspective.

    It was a very good commentary... :) Trying to isolate economy from humanity is absurd of course, and the strong link are the producers and consumers. That is how we can see the "mixed economy." Culling the herd and reducing number of humans - rising food prices and turning deaf ears to...

    G7 squabbling

    It now seems that Germany and France are uniting efforts, and Sarkozy and Merkel meeting in France and making symbolic gestures of unity. Bundeskanzler Angela Merkel have outlined a plan similar to earlier banking crisis history and turn arounds in Europe - by nationalizing or taking stakes in...

    G7 squabbling

    Early this morning Bush had a short press conference with the G7 finance ministers. The reports of this conference were very misrepresenting. CNN and others said - "the G7 were showing unity and that they stand together." Bush said - "this is no time for any country to try and diminish the...

    My Fellow Prisoners?

    Hehehe, I think he shows one too many Freudian slips... but he obviously is thinking ahead, when everyone are locked in with him as president and all. In all fairness, the old fart was probably trying to think ahead with another thought going through his mind, and that was interfering with...

    scalpers...

    When you see changes to orderbook volumes and orders, it can be anyone and anything as long as you have no identification information on the orders in the book. Scalpers normally trade on instruments where they can take any of the sides - e.g futures or forex - which are zero-sum games, and...

    How can there be a crisis when so many

    stock_trad3r, it's a conspiracy, or worse - the terrorists are shorting US markets! The US economy is fundamentally strong and new ATH on Dow, Nasdaq and S&P500 will ensue shortly - snuffing shorters. All the stuff about crisis and panic - they are all lies - and they should all be thrown...

    O'Reilly blaming Dubai Hedge Funds

    O'Brien ... oh, O'Reilly ... he should be denounced for inciting Islamophobia or something. :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingsoc (O'Brien) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_101 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O'Brien_(1984)

    Programmer needed to develop website

    Just some more tips. It sounds like you should be looking for someone with fairly strong PHP scripting skills, database skill (MySQL) and some dynamic graphical package skills... If it was me - I would combine a database or just plain XML files from datasource, and then use Flash to present the...

    Crisis problem focus: US national debt - trigger was credit bubble

    Cesko, nice to hear you are so optimistic about delivering on the US national debt. You certainly have the working spirit... Actually, I am European - just living in Brazil for the moment. As such, I remember quite a few European countries struggling with debts, but turning it around...

    Richard Quest from CNN ?!

    Hehehe, but today Richard Quest ripped CNN financial editor Todd Benjamin a new one on the CNN business blog. That was pretty deserved for Benjamin - he had it coming, because he is so uptight and all. http://business.blogs.cnn.com/ Maybe Quest is going out from CNN, since he is...

    Warren buffet has lost almost 18 billion dollars in 1 week

    Wasn't Buffet a rebel and shoplifter in his young age, before his father discovered him and set him straight?

    Confidence is leaving the Fiat Money System

    It is not "love for the USD," but rather repatriation to the US and some shoring up and buying time for the US economy, to stabilize it and get something start working... some UK and US names threw their weight in as well. The USD is air-money - not even monopoly-money... hehe - a bit...

    Ivan's Trade Thread, part II

    Lookie, lookie... 134.50 even on the EURJPY :D But I guess I've already had a few days good running with scalps... Those scarypants can't hold their water into the weekend - with EU and G7 meetings, as well as Japan and China protesting against markets... it looks like it will be a very...

    Ivan's Trade Thread, part II

    I think some of the drop was because German finance minister Peer Steinbrück said they weren't committed to a UK-style bailout for now. That is no wonder when property prices in Germany have not been run up like elsewhere - but when adjusted for inflation actually had net negative price...

    Crisis problem focus: US national debt - trigger was credit bubble

    Why should we have a long global recession? Isn't it the US who is heavily in debt - the rest of the world can grow just fine ... China will do 9% now and Brazil 7% --- that is pretty ok. More fiscal conservative consumers around the world will not on average be as devastated as those in...

    Ivan's Trade Thread, part II

    Now I'm done .. not getting in any more on scalps today .. even with the trace down again... Clearly they are just clueless on directions there now - and just shaking about... That just gives more comfort about a coming upside - although I will need to see some "good news" too... hehe...
