Gold bugs love to talk about the demise of the fiat currency. They failed to realize that in the modern world, fiat currency is not tied to any commodity but to economic and military might. US is still the largest economy and military superpower in the world. Hyperinflation only happens to...

Thanks, good work. swf for those who don't use quicktime and mp4: SpeedDemo.swf

With all due respect to the helpful learned posters here, jpg is the wrong format for charts, try saving as 'png' or 'gif' which will give you smaller and sharper pictures. The better combination should be something like faststone capture and shup for uploading, both are free or minimal cost...

It is probably time to fade the retail gold buyers with the record new (and late) money coming to physical gold and new gold funds. If now is truly the destruction of the world's financial system, gold should be trading at $2,000 and up. I know investors who still have gold coins bought with...

I guessed you could try to politicize everything. Obama just happens to like and admire Rick Warren and that is about the only reason he was invited. Calling everybody slick is easy, I wonder how many of you give away 98% of your income as Rick Warren does?

These three certainly were under GWBush:

Pitt, Donalson and Cox. Enough said.

It is hard to spoil something that is at least a few million years old. Not even the SPR is buying and they can store another 25 million barrels. They were buying all the way up in July, 2008. I wonder if there were any crooked dept. of energy employees influenced by the oil corps to buy at...

I am sure two months from now, you will start a thread saying the financial crisis started when Obama got elected ... such is the state of revisionist history. American students spend 2/3 the number of days per year in school than their Asian counterparts and they neither care nor learn...

There are generally three early market closing days per year (sometimes a fourth): Day before 4 July Friday after Thankgiving Day before Christmas And, sometimes, the day after Christmas if it is a Friday

I don't believe I have the pleasure of knowing any of you boys. May be you would like to go quail hunting sometimes?

You are confusing public prosperity with private greed. Henry Paulson, eagle scout and 'A' student from Harvard MBA tooked more than 700 Million from Goldman Sachs, tax free, with his Treasury post appointment. Dick Cheney, 'C' student and flunked out from Yale, took more than 40...

[size=3]There is a high correlation of a white, rural and isolated population with "low food security" and their trend towards the Republican party. The irony here is that if these people and their local governments would behave in a more socialist manner, that is to be willing to share more...

Is Obama trying to jumpstart the economy by himself even before he is inaugurated? http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2008/11/14/2008-11-14_barack_obama_gives_campaign_staffers_ext.html

"Republicans don't believe in anything, except winning an election." This was a quote from a conservative columnist, Robert Novak, and not some liberal critic. Another quote from the Republican governor of South Carolina: " Republicans campaigned on one promise and governed with a...
