Here is an in-depth explanation: The simplest action that you can actually take would be to setup a shell corporation. You can do so for a couple hundred dollars and have it ready as quickly as 24-48 hours. Then you can simply make yourself the acting director of the corporation and start a...

Traders/Institutions that move around a great amount of capital don't use retail brokers. They would use a broker-neutral execution platform (using FIX) like Bloomberg Tradebook, Fidessa, Reuters Trading, ITG etc. that use anonymous electronic trade matching systems. Again unless you have 8...

Most Americans don't even understand how the world functions and what role their government plays in it. All they know is what they absorb from Fox News, CNN US and American Idol. It is only a few at the top that control the entire "Amero-centric" world. The WASPs or British-Americans...

The US economy is 70% consumer + 10% residential real estate. If taxes are raised to an excessive level all that will do is reduce consumption and can actually create a greater shortfall in tax revenue with higher unemployment. Of course none of the states are going to cut down on the...

GE is a representation of the American economy. If you believe that there is going to be a deflationary or stagflationary depression, then forget about it. If you believe that there will be a V-shaped recovery with 1% inflation and Americans go back to living in Disneyworld again then you...

Before the end WW2 when the living standard was signifcantly lower, Americans couldn't even afford to import the amount of products that they do today. After 1971 a faustian bargain was established where foreigners would sell products to the US in exchange for using their foreign reserves to...

Actually, the police are far too concerned with parking tickets, traffic violations, underage drinking and 15 year olds taking pictures of themselves. It is easy and stress-free!!

Well the irony is that Thinkorswim was acquired for 606 million, while Penson's market cap is less than 150 million. Ameritrade was most likely only interested in the branding, and thought they could obtain a decent platform in the acquisition as well. Ameritrade's business however is...

There goes the state funding from Obama's stimulus plan. When is the second stimulus coming up? Many violent sex offenders don't even register themselves, they either lie about where they live or say that they are homeless and live in their cars. This issue is being pushed by the religious...

If countries or corporations do not invest in their internal industry or infrastructure, how are they supposed to become wealthy? Oh it's simply really, they will simply tell foreigners to buy US debt at an accelerated rate for eternity, and print money based on those foreign losers holding...

OF course you are going to completely ignore the fact that China once had a wealthy and powerful nation. In the opium wars Britain dumped opium on the country and destroyed the social structure completely. You probably think that the Chinese deserved the opium, because it was in demand and at...

Of course people like you are going to be in denial and ignore the data. How will the US pay off it's debts? It is not capable of doing so. Now you feel that you need to resort to profanity to prove your point, right how classy and cultured. How did the US become the consumer nation? Who...

How did China and other emerging markets survive for thousands of years without America? Oh right, there was no world before America. It is not going to be an overnight phenomenon, but relative to the security of US treasuries the risk of internal investment will soon outweigh purchases of...

Foreigners can become consumers and increase their relative purchasing power, instead of propping up the US consumer market. Do you even know what the Bretton-Woods agreement was? You sound like the type of person that believed that Iraq actually had WMDs.

The emerging markets countries can invest in themselves, instead of propping of the US consumer base. IT is not mathematically possibly for foreigners to sit on US dollars and US-denominated debt for eternity. Eventually the bubble will pop. The US consumer base will evaporate into thin...

The only reason why the dollar is doing well is due to the fact that it is the reserve currency. The innovation of America did not give it a high standard of living for consumer based business or prop the dollar up. The logic is faulty. Asset price Bubble do not have real value. What are...

The very reason why the dollar is doing so well right now is due to Americans sitting on cash, once they start spending, the velocity of money kicks in. IF many of these US-consumption based businesses like Disney are based on a fantasy do they have real value? You sound like the same type...
