Seems like it was a huge bear-trap in the EURUSD. Questionable move ahead of the Fannie-Freddie bailout, though. I think there is stronger probability of a sharply weaker USD towards the end of the year, it will be an interesting December no doubt... and 2009 will see further weakening of...

FortuneTeller, US air-strikes killed more than 60 young children in just one strike last month according to recent UN verification. What do you think about that? They had it coming?

There are geopolitical strategies and currents being strengthened around the world now. Soon the US will be very dependent upon support from alliances, as their position will become tested. Surely, a prolonged period of economic weakness will be very dire for the US, as it will directly affect...

Joey, get a job and help out your mother.

Given the US track record... Having Obama is much more preferrable to the world than the ignorant hothead McCain with a shadowy counsel of cronies. McCain would be another scapegoat for a continued unpopular abusive regime. There is little to be proud of in the US handling of Latin...

There are money to be made in conflict - both training, equipping, intervening, rebuilding and controlled commerce. Most people probably do not stay informed about what happens - e.g School of the Americas and how the doctrine has been continuing for a long time...

I'm not native to Brazil... Just been here since around 1999. I think it's fair to say that the second (and to some extent the first) election of GWB can be seen as a pretty brain dead choice... I understand that the US was under the manipulation of "fear" and the propaganda of war - but...

Well, if you are into it for the investment mainly now - then look for the best deal - forget about the pricing levels, but get something that will sell and that you can make a nice profit fixing. If you are going to "play the housing market" it is not the best of times. I have more than...

Be smart about it. Are you looking for a good investment or are you looking for a place to live, expand family etc? That is your primary concern, secondary is what price and financing you will choose... And Pabst is right - if you can improve a cheap house - then that is a lot of potential...

I wonder if "blue collar" will understand that they have been royally fucked over... Despite an economy that expanded by 18% since 2000, real income for the median family fell by 1.1% from 2000 to 2006. Job creation was much slower as well, with jobs growing by just 0.6% per year...

Mercor, how about voting for US president a former drug addict, alcoholic, spoiled loser in life and newly found evangelic with the brain of a peanut? Or maybe vote for someone who thinks that global warming and climate change is not something influence by humans, but divine? Or that there...

A big problem is that most people are not well informed. Some people prefer to stay ignorant, while others are not thoroughly aware of their role or how it affects their daily lives and future. A fair assessment would be that most here are not at all informed about recent events before the...

Paulson said that in 2010 the GSEs will start reducing portfolios with 10% per year, and they will start paying back expenses of the bailout and restructuring.

Well, Bloomberg had a special report with the complete news conference by FHFA director Lockhart and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. I think politicians and investors world over are going to be screaming fraud and bloody murder - it's a scandal in reality. Cheap loans were an illusion...
