    China threatening Taiwan; economic suicide?

    it's a power play. china asserting itself to bolster its image. we are helping china to emerge from the economic dark ages. china must rattle its saber anytime it is suggested that they treat their citizens like human beings, that their entrenched dynastic elite rulers put their pants on...

    Gold just hit $400

    right, exac - attack - ly. Let's not forget that the guy who projects gold at $6 grand has a position. Y' know, anything's possible. If things stay static, that is, if the US ceases to be productive and to create jobs, then perhaps there will be a drastic and permanent flight to gold. But...

    Gold just hit $400

    i think there is a temptation to attibute omniscience or something near it to those who happen to have a gift for somehow obtaining money. To argue that, because the man has dominated his industry means that his disdain for a certain very productive nation -- one, in fact, that may have had...

    'Currency traders in handcuffs' from CNBC

    this news isn't adding up. First, Morgan isn't about to milk someone's IRA. I can see some of these retail forex shops being suspect in something like this (in fact, I'd be surprised if some of them weren't scams), but not the majors. Would some mba at Morgan cause his firm to lose in...

    Personal Bankruptcies Jump 7.8 Percent

    a meaningful measurement, such as wealth written off versus wealth created, would be more instructive.

    Personal Bankruptcies Jump 7.8 Percent

    I am sure the net number of households has increased more and faster than one might have considered, but I have no basis to claim that it has doubled. The ultimate point, however, is that bankruptcies follow booms like flowers follow rain in the spring.

    Personal Bankruptcies Jump 7.8 Percent

    ... is what the headlines ought to read. If there were 1 mil household bankruptcies last year, and 2 million this year, there is a 100% increase in household bankruptcies. However, if the number of households increased from 10 mil to 20 mil, then the net increase in household bankruptcies...

    Personal Bankruptcies Jump 7.8 Percent

    certainly the number of bankruptcies has increased, as has the number of households. the question is whether the number has changed relative to the number of households. I don't agree that the country is 'bankrupt.' there are tremendous assets here, and I doubt that they are outweighed by...

    Terror futures market back in business!

    that's what the market is about. it's not about making money, or creating a market for terrorism or any such nonsense. perhaps those things will spring up tangentially, but the market is an ingenious barometer of likely terror activity. the premise is the very same premise upon which the...

    Elliot Wave Calls the Top... Again

    my remark about "Prechter, et al." I think the Elliot Wave principal is fascinating and useful. I am fairly convinced, too, that Bob Prechter has more intelligence in the nail of his pinky than I do in my whole head. My point was not that his stuff isn't worthwhile (he did nail the bull...

    Elliot Wave Calls the Top... Again

    Interesting observation. Typically, a business such as a dry cleaner doesn't have the scalability and growth potential of one that is listed on a major exchange (exceptions notwithstanding). If the dry cleaner were managed and geared for national or worldwide expansion, or perhaps listed...
