Tell me, weren't the regulations in the energy, telecom and banking industry already in place? Obviously someone was able to put them there, and they were better than what we have now. You're trying to generalize your stance about regulations when in fact they should be applied selectively...

I wanted to make this thread to maybe start a discussion with the smart people on this forum. I know most traders are hardcore believers in capitalism and free markets, but I've come to believe this view to be flawed. We all like to think we see the big picture, that we're right and the...

Nationalism was strong at the time and the rest of Europe pretty much humiliated Germany and then the hyperinflation destroyed the whole nation's wealth.

Hey if I did seminars I would charge a high fee too, I wouldn't want pikers joining in.

Aha, I tend to avoid his posts too. Maybe I shouldn't they always get a lot of attention but they seem a bit too biased.

Joab is right, make some noise. There is a lack of leadership. Everyone wants to wait for the savior that will sweep the nation but that won't happen. It takes time to educate, to grow awareness. Start reading books about Ghandi and other social leaders and see how they tackled the problems of...

Commerce is a reflexive process. I personally believe decoupling is false, China is linked to the world economy. We're probably focusing on the wrong data. 22nd century? Who cares, what matters is the next year. We'll see..

Don't worry, it's not you.

Great, this way his first book and movie can be about the events leading to his collapse and his second book will be about the legal battles that followed.

No way man, you can't do it. I call BS.

Ah, thank you for the names, I'll check them out.
