Look at the bright side - you can wear an Uzi when you go outside, get to target practice at your local gun-range... Weather is nice, tasty Jaffa oranges, spiritual interactions, Technicon institute etc. 70% of US-Israelis vote republican...

Hmmm, that seems very "realistic" and in line with the general perception over in Europe and elsewhere around the world. NOT :D

According to rumours, Norway are also ready to extend help to Iceland. That should probably be a secure path forward for Iceland with Russian loans already in place - although the financial sector of Iceland is heavily leveraged. I guess they will never starve - with all those fishing...

Financial stability - don't rock the boat. Over the long run, USD will erode more strongly - but maybe they will be able to adapt some in the future. In short - strengthening the USD is buying time to fix problems. It also creates fear, uncertainty and doubt - FUD - a well known tactic...

About investing in Brazil... The fact that Brazilian exports are balanced in BRL and not dependent on the USD, means that many investments in Brazil are getting extremely attractive. Expenses for the exporters are not rising, although many find it more difficult to get credit now. This means...

Sadly, it seems many children and families are getting bullets as early Christmas gifts. Family suicides ensues in this economic turmoil. Like in Porter Ranch in Los Angeles.

Disinformation to some is "truth" to others... Funny, isn't it... are they all crazy? Well, the thing is fundamentally an epistemological problem; some do not see any problem in organizing spreads of half-truths, distortions etc. In the end it is not only about freedom of information, but...

Understand the personality of McCain... He wants to go out on top of the world - with a big bang. That makes him very different to many of us.

When you are heavily invested with your brain real-estate into indoctrinated education, change is something that is really hard to come by. Normally it takes catastrophic destruction for any realisation to be made... sometimes such destruction is being made through "necessary constructive...

"Don't worry, be happy - the economy is fundamentally strong. Keep your patriotic support of prime brands." Buy Xanax and other national products, keep the faith, remember to pray and you shall be forgiven. This has been a 101 Feel-Good message from the Ministry of Love, co-sponsored by the...

Bill/William Kristol is a Neo-conservative elitist scumbag... If there were ever a radical ideologist it is him and his father Irving Kristol - and they hate counter-cultures.

Sure, enjoy your national debt. Nothing has changed, right? In a couple of weeks it will be just like before - super-sized consumption and no worries - just in time for Christmas. You will no doubt be getting yourself a new Smith & Wesson and a bottle of bourbon for Christmas, because it...

As for the Real here in Brazil. I was really hoping that consumer prices would fluctuate and improve with the strengthening Real - but no such thing, as well as no such thing when it weakened. See, the economy and trade is very protected here in Brazil. Cars from Europe have +50% taxes, and...

My take is that you should try various variants. Come to Brazil and see how you like the women here - there are numerous variations here. A friend of mine prefers new girls every night, and have been with 3 000 in 9 years - yes, it means that there is not only one at a time. Also, age...

The problem of financial markets is the secrecy and lack of transparency. You don't see the identification of traders, nor any history on trades or positions. Along with opaque financial instruments - it lends itself to corruption and temptation - pure and simple. :p

Thomson Reuters IFR said they were looking for sub 1.34 6.18% fib target and then a bounce back up to low 1.40s... I think markets are more perceptive and with Q3 numbers close - they will preemptive the bounce. When Q3 numbers appear - especially watch EURJPY but also USDJPY - if any fear...

There can be no doubt that we are seeing signs of capitulation in the markets now... so maybe we can see some bottoming out in the near future, but only of the panic - as protracted recession is ensured. Regulation changes will not take effect yet, but we can start seeing the winners emerging...

Don't worry... The Bovespa has been volatile for many years, with +/-5% the norm for trading days. The currency has also normally been pretty volatile, however it has been very much the last couple of week. And the Brazilian economy has in fact shunted trade from the US gradually over the...

I once was taking care of a Riesenschnauzer, and was taking him for a walk in the woods, but before we came so far - just outside the gate of the house... When we went outside, another dog was "on his territory", and the Riesenschnauzer was with his collar, but not on leach. The other dog had no...

I think it has something with a little thing called "risk". When it looks like good times, it's a good thing - and other times you rather keep it away with a broom-stick. :D
