Just another form of socialism, to devalue the dollar assets of those productive members of society. Another form of dishonest tax.

How does a devalued dollar benefit anyone, especially traders who depend on liquid dollar assets as their stock in trade?

Thank you Bluehorshoe for your projections. One thing that puzzles me is that when I read much of Ben Bernanke's, the new Fed chairman, previous speeches I get the feeling he would rather inflate the money supply than have the alternative recession or economic slowdown. When you put the...

If you would like to get an idea of the foreclosure activity in any specific area, the following site lists preforeclosure actions and sales. To get more detailed information other than the general listings, it is a paid site. I have no affiliation, and use it to get an idea of upcoming REO...

I appreciate your sincere question and it deserves positive suggestions. One book I found helpful is "Techniques of Tape Reading" by Vadym Graifer. This book is not exactly reading by time and sales per se alone, but more on volume and price as depicted by the charts. Probably the best book I...

Do you have your favorite stocks you'd like to share? Thanks

OK thanks for the humor. But being a trader and not an investor, it does not appear easy to invest with the goal of protecting ones assets againt currency devaluation especially the US dollar.

It appears that Argentina suffered a tremendous currency devaluation circa 2001/2002. I would not feel safe investing in that currency. So far the only currency that IMO looks safe is the Swiss Franc. But I would like your further opinion and comments. Thanks, Mike

South America thanks again for your excellent analysis and prediction. There is a reason why the dollar will decline immediately perhaps early on in 2006, as you have suggested. It's simply because the Fed is less concerned about the devaluation of the dollar than you or I might be and are...

drsteph Found an article on JPM. It appears that for every dollar of shareholder equity, that JPM is controlling $626. worth of notional derivatives. JPM controls $26 trillion dollars in notional derivatives while its sharholder equity is only $42Billion...

Bank stock safety and derivatives It appears from the OCC that 96% of the total derivatives in US banks are held by five US banks. The derivatives apparently are not classified as to the whether they are collateralized or not, nor as to risk assessment. I was planning on purchasing...

Bernanke is an enigma First he does not appear to be highly concerned about the effect of government deficit/trade imbalance but argues this is caused by external factors (external to the US, ie we are not at fault, it's a global savings glut)...

Yes we get your observation on the connection to the hot dog. But in all seriousness, how about the price of a new pickup, or the price of a home, health care, or some other big ticket item, or whatever you choose... It's unsettling if you have any assets at all and are concerned about...

There's got to be a way to protect the assets you've accumulated other than in the dollar which continues to erode exponentially and looks like it will get even worse under the new Fed chairman. Most any major stable currency would have been better than dollar based liquid assets, especially...

How the heck are we supposed to figure out how to protect our fixed dollar assets against Bernanke's "measured inflation," in other worlds, the cold assed heartless calculating devaluation of your dollar assets?

Does anyone have a link to the helicopter article?
