http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Global_.../IF14Dj01.html I think the Central Bankers and Politicians would wish this hadn't been written because it gives an understandable view of what they are doing to disguise the reality of what effect their manipulation of paper money has on people's real...

I agree, anyone that thinks they will make high returns with no risk and no effort is going to get scammed.

Its not a bad recession, though, as recessions go. Anyone still working except CEO's is losing ground, but at least all are at least somewhat employed in low pay jobs. What would be bad would be if China stops lending us the money. Then, we'd be dead meat within a few months. The...

The deficit is less than it wold otherwise be, true, but at $450 billion, its huge, especially if you consider all the promises being made but not accrued for. BTW, if you want to know where I get $450 billion, go look in Barrons. Every week they publish the national debt this week and a...

The general public is already "all in" via their 401k and IRA's in mutual funds. The average folks don't have any money left to put into anything. They have credit cards and home loans to pay, and are already in debt up to their ears.

you ignored the money from social security. we'll be needing it 5 yrs from now smoke and mirrors. ignoring numbers doesn't make them go away. we should have been running a huge surplus in those years to actually save for our retirements. we put the money in, but it dissappeared just...

There are 2 problems... 1. What we tax We tax work. That is sheer idiocy. Its a good way to make sure we have a society that ca't afford to produce what it consumes. We need to tax consumption, epecially consumption of imports, not work and jobs. 2. What we spend Limit government...

"too big to fail" famous last words. IMO You can't keep borrowing more and more forever. When the music finally begins to slow, then stop, it will be a hell for anyone dependent on it.

Lower dollar means everything you have went down in reality

Made $200. Interest, LOL. Life is lousy when you have zero confidence.

I guess it doesn't matter WHY people close the positions. Reduction in liquidity will bring prices down.

I don't know about you people, but I don't pay anywhere near those prices. I load up when on sale and nibble down the stocks till the next sale. tomatoes .69 chips 2.50 coffee 1.80 peanut butter .99 sugar .45 oj .99 1/2 gal lettuce .79 head oranges .59 bananas .45 apples .39 ice...

Been there, done that. Ok, you get paid a higher rate, but because its going to weaken their economy going forward, the NZ dollar is going to drop after its pop that you already missed, and so your gains from the high rate will get paid in cheaper NZ dollars, and so will the bonds when you get...

If you've ever heard Bollard, you wouldn't use the word "unexpected". I'd be willing to bet it breaks their economy, though. I bet he's surprised it hasn't already, too. Will others follow? I'm not sure there. Others aren't willing to cause any pain in the interest of having sound...

The hedgies and mutuals do crap worse than this to us all the time. Live by the sword, DIE by the sword

When the yen was getting strong in Feb., that's when the market got creamed. The yen is up against the dollar more than any other currency today. To pay back these huge borrowings, things must be sold, and the more that is sold and paid back, the stronger the yen would get, forcing more of...

Milk is $1.99 here, and has been for the past year, except a few times its been on sale for $1.79

Looks like you might have assumed a tax credit on the solar to get the payback, or maybe the costs have come down, or maybe competing rates are higher now. As for the hydro to convert solar to baseload, no its not very efficient, but its cheap, especially compared to fuel cells, I'd think...

Some bear on Kudlow said shadow statistics says 6% the other day. Sounds reasonable to me.

I have an old Mother Earth news article on how to build a solar water heater for $30 Photovoltaics cost a lot more and I think have a payback of about 10 to 15 yrs. Basically either the cost for them needs to come down a lot or the cost of competing alternatives needs to go up a lot, for it...
