    The Fed Beige Book describes an economy slipping into depression not recovering...

    PR Methinks you are taking the media hype at face value. Your post could have been written about SARs but look what happened. As usual total hype by the media and that gets everyone going. In fact the media won't like it one bit if this very minor pig flu problem doesn't turn into...

    World Health Organization declares emergency, travel to Mexico banned, futures in red

    Hilarious how many people haven't sussed out how the media work. They broadcast hype that's based on the news. Bird flu - where we were 'told' that it was odds-on that many people would die - hyped out of all proportion. SARS - where we were 'told' that it was odds-on that many...

    Massive Crime on the American Economy

    She should look over her shoulder as she's obviously now a 'threat to national security'. Bet she's got the 'terrorist' cops on her tail :) PS. There's a potential 'terrorist' hiding behind every wheely bin don't you know......

    Nothing gets peoples minds off the economy faster than thinking they will die...

    It's how the world works these days. ALL the agencies and stuff have to come out and say 'this 'could' be very serious' because if they don't then they'll open themselves up to being sued. Then of course the media hype it out of all proportion, plenty of 'evers', even more 'history...

    Huge flu epidemic...oh no whats going to happen to the airlines? AMR? JBLU? DAL???

    Just one thing to think about. Remember how the media hyped everything out of all proportion re SARs. Then, 10% of the population would 'likely' die and 25% would be 'effected'. Didn't happen that way did it? Why? Because there's an old rule in the media 'never let the facts get in...

    Gold above 1200$ an ounce in 2009?

    Yeah, that Gold bubble is OUT OF CONTROL. I mean, year-on-year it's up and incredible 2.75%. 2.75% a year - how can a market rise so much. Gold bulls must surely own the world :) Could it go 5% up, or heaven forbid 10%? Surely the odds on that would be about 10million-1 against...

    Fake recovery due to trillions being printed; real test is job growth

    It's possible to have both inflation and deflation. For example, has anyone noticed their food bills going down? Nope, because they're going higher. Jet Skis, and fancy goods are going down in value.

    The Quiet Coup - an amazing story about the real reason why US Govt. Bailed out AIG

    Interesting. A year or so back in the UK a bank, I think it was HSBC cranked its interest rate up, or did something else that wasn't called for on its STUDENT ACCOUNTS. Within a few days it had backed down. Why? Because a load of students rebelled and using Facebook (I think)...

    Freddie Mac acting CFO found dead at home

    Maybe he found something that he 'shouldn't have'. Maybe that's the reason for his 'suicide'........

    Cuba

    True, but I think what he means is that all the mega corporations will go mad and it will soon look just like America, all streets the same. Might as well stay in Florida :)

    Thailand Hook-Up

    Monsoon season is not so bad anyway. It's still shit hot (that's good by the way), the rain is warm and it's often a real sight to see how hard it comes down. Go for it I say. But to the OP, unless you're a sex-tourist I wouldn't bother going to Pattaya, especially if you're got your...

    Nationwide Tax Revolt Is Coming

    What happens in the US has a habit of coming over the the UK. I'll therefore give it 2 years till the traffic accident bills start arriving through the post here in the UK.

    Rescue the economy? Try the SEALs - If banks act like pirates, they should be treated

    I'm not suggesting that the SEALS aren't a solid fighting force. Just wondering if they're as good as Hollywood makes out.........
