    Say you are Nassim Taleb and hyperinflation hits

    Thanks for the link. I was there too actually as an exchange student. I remember people trying like hell to buy land, etc but not being able because either the owner wasnt selling or they were foolishly trying to get a loan in that environment. And dollars got you a 20% discount in retail...

    Say you are Nassim Taleb and hyperinflation hits

    That was my thoughts, that AT VERY LEAST you would want the underlying, but even thats just another piece of paper with possibly less counterparty risk.

    Say you are Nassim Taleb and hyperinflation hits

    Not my opinion as I am not an expert on the degrees of failedness even though I get the concepts. Here is where I have gotten this idea. If "near failed" is too strong wording, it isnt mine...

    Say you are Nassim Taleb and hyperinflation hits

    Say you are Nassim Taleb and hyperinflation hits. You have some super out of the money calls on commodities, equities (???) etc that are now in the money and your fat tail trade has paid off huge in nominal terms. Supposing we arent all defending our pantry with our rifle at this point and...

    The 401(k) Grab is no longer just a rumor

    I was thinking of converting my regular IRA to a Roth while I am back in school but it seems so futile now. And plus I dont like being part of the govts attempts to pull tax revenues forward.

    What kind of discounts are feasible in US real estate right now?

    Yeah, I meant Home Owners Association and/or the dues. BK is bankrupt. I knew the condo market there REALLY well downtown for a few years working at a residential real estate cosulting job, but I rented at Post Parkside. If I had my pick, not that Ive checked prices recently, I would love...

    I know the condos you are talking about in orlando (I did some RE work and lived on lake eola). Some of those Homeowners associations are BK, so be careful. Im not even sure what the full consequences of a BK HOA are but its got to be baked into those prices. I watched a metropolitan studio...

    What are the economic downside of a physical elimination of OPEC ?

    lol you think this will bring peace and prosperity? It will be another huge mess full of unknown unknowns, power struggles and the like. I sympathize with the idea but to say its going to be win-win is not realistic. We will just supplant middle eastern thugs with our own, thats not...
