Really? So Germans don't work at those German car companies that Americans buy cars from or any other German companies that export to America? Maybe you need to read carefully next time. I always get a kick out of the "blame America" attitude that many have but seem to be completely...

bullshit....you don't have a clue...you took on a lot of debt so that you can continue to sell your high end cars and other exports to America. If it wasn't for America buying your goods, YOUR lifestyle would be reduced.

We are going to see high inflation. I concede that. What I'm sick of hearing about is those preaching about how we are going to have hyperinflation. Hyperinflation is measured in 100's of percent. We aren't going to see inflation of 100% over the course of a year or 50% over the course of a few...

I'm sorry...but that chart is pretty useless IMO because it doesn't account for dividends. The DOW could easily go sideways or down over many years and still have investors growing their money or staying flat even as the DOW is down considerably. This is especially true when counting in decades...

Let me guess...you own a ton of gold? I can always tell when somebody owns gold because they buy that doomsday stuff like kids in a candy store. If you can't understand why deflation is FAR worse than inflation, then you obviously don't understand the psychology of economies. Deflation means...

And no offense, but I'm laughing at the prospect of hyperinflation. This also isn't some "minor" weak goverment like Zimbabwe either. If high inflation become a problem, it would be relatively easy to slow it down. Just raise interest rates. Inflation in a very liquid economy like the American...

Let's see....a bunch of exporting countries getting together to say how much they hate the dollar because of its weakening...isn't that special... So, one day they decide to create an "emerging market" currency. It goes onto the market and the dollar floats against it starting at half its...

Libertad...thank you. This is precisely the point I'm trying to make and get through to SouthAmerica. Is America going to struggle and experience inflation? You betcha. But the doomsday sayers (might I say the leftists?)...who are predicting the fall of the United States are missing 2 very...

To SouthAmerica....more doomsday propaganda and still not an answer to my question. For the US to experience hyperinflation, that would mean that virtually every other currency in the world would have to simultaneously appreciate against the dollar. Again, since the US is the biggest...

I'm going to pose this question for like the hundredth time to those that keeping talking about hyperinflation and the dollar collapsing. These doomsday articles and posts by people seem to always conveniently ignore international correlations. What piece of shit currency is going to all of...

That isn't necessarily true. The VIX going up in the beginning of a rally could be a sign of a significant move up. The VIX is just implied volatility. Under most normal circumstances, a high VIX is a sign of a lot of put buying. But when you are just starting a new rally in a very depressed...

Neke...that's interesting that you chose to short the market on Thursday. What was your reasoning for this?

I'm trying to figure that one out too. Is the author trying to imply that all world currencies are going to depreciate against each other simultaneously somehow creating this hyperinflation, or that just the dollar is going to depreciate against other currencies to cause hyperinflation. What...

One problem with your theory here. If you had invested in 1932 during the "American economy is collapsing....nobody will ever buy stocks again" time frame, you would have made a killing over the next few years as the stock market took off. Tell me...when everybody and anybody is telling you...

I will bet you that XOM doesn't fall below $65 over the next 4 months. And if it does fall that low, it will be a screaming buy.

Do people understand that XOM doesn't need oil at 100 bucks to make money? They were criticized for not backing up the truck and spending all the R&D when oil was that expensive. XOM is a REFINERY. That's where they make most of their profits. They are much more diversified than the strict oil...

What was the portfolio beta? What was the portfolio standard deviation? Is comparing this portfolio against the S&P the correct benchmark? Maybe the index it is more comparable against actually fell over 40% in which case this portfolio did beat the "market". I'm sorry...but whenever I see X...

hmm...ok, so 6 months and 1 day and KRE matches it's low. So, here we go again. Starting over. The 6 month clock starts ticking again. :D

SouthAmerica...I can understand your excitement, and trust me, Brazil is one of the economies I will be investing in myself when the global recession comes to a close, but there are 2 facts which are becoming more and more true. Number 1: No matter what people would wish, the world...

And the Brazilian economy will connect with China's economy and suffer the same unfair trade practices America has exeperienced with China which will hurt Brazil more than help them. When the trade deficit with China starts developing because of all the cheap imports going into Brazil, a...
