i think you will get it when climbing matterhorn or similar. of course if you are going to travel only by car/van/truck/boat you can easily go for something bigger. but i thought you mentioned backpacking...

this is the only post that OP should consider. all the rest is rubbish - likely from people that never seriously traded while travelling (off the beaten track). the most important things are: 1. hardware flexibility (IBM/Lenovo cuts it) 2. Windows OS (at least on 1 partition) 3. max 15'...

also the Sun is made of oil I have heard - you just need to put the fire down... :D

simmons is running ponzi scheme with his predictions. his tactic is: when you get wrong with your prediction just double it up. i've been watching this guy for many years now and he is just a freak - his underlying thesis is alright (Peak Oil) but what he deduce from that is just too funny.

second that motion!

Krugman is an idiot - i am surprised that it needs to be even discussed on the site called "Elite Trader". It is not surprising Krugman likes Fed while not ECB. He is after all a communist weasel like Michael Moore - and Fed is behaving in a similar manner (as opposed to ECB). Even...

it is unbelievable how many people believe this mantra. it seems we actually need some hard lessons in economy 101 once again... quantitative easing IS printing money and in a technical way is the only way to do so. zimbabwe was doing the same thing with the only difference that they stopped...

they have still few bullets left - like buying equities, buying every american a breakfast, buying houses etc....

thin air - it is just an accounting entry on the liabilities side....the corresponding entry is a treasury security on the asset side. with respect to stimulus during the autumn; they did not have to sell treasuries but they wanted to do so. this way they avoided inflationary effects...

i had the same problem and in fact raised it here on ET: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=156580 i ultimately realized what you need to do: i unclicked all features and selected only few i really needed - then all runs ok without freezing, mouse tricks etc... still...

of course - banks are there to protect you from the rating agencies...is this what you say? who asked for deals to be rated? Banks? No! The client/regulator did! In most instances he knew he was buying crap - but as long as it was AAA and gave him an excess spread so that he could go and buy...

oh boy - so I should believe you rather than the publicly available fed balance sheet? the one think is talk the talk the other is walk the walk - today we got the later.

that's a completely wrong understanding of the rating process for structured credit. by the way banks quite often kept the crap... agree with OP that rating agencies are the main culprit in hiding the real quality of the paper sold - they betrayed the sole reason of their existence. they...

not gonna happen. PRC is not trading treasuries - that would be another huge game changer. the reductions would happen by not rolling they reserves forward at auctions...

where do you see that fed was buying treasuries? last time i checked (1 month ago) they were buying exactly "nada". do you even know where to look it up?

that said, i would not be surprised if we see the dollar going stronger again very soon. the recent pattern is that any bold move (which is initially viewed as only money printing) is ultimatelly viewed as the one that is going to help the economy - and the US economy first... with gold...

ok - this one wins today's ignorance contest. :D PRC will not like today's action for many reasons. let's name some of them: 1. lower yields at auctions they are supposed to bid on. note they continuous bidding is one of the few leverages PRC has over US. 2. lower USD which indirectly...

HOLY SHIT! really... i am glad i stopped trading this. another reason for becoming a commodity bull squared... if this is not inflationary then nothing is - they basically said that out of ~2trn losses government is on hook they will initially print about 50%...

i know - but if US wants to physically hold a guarantee we are talking about huge % of world (free) gold even at $10,000/oz!
