    Oh look, Jim Rogers was long the dollar the last two months, and didn't tell you ?

    Rogers doesnt TRADE! From the book Market Wizards I sent him a letter requesting an interview, explaining that I was working on a book on great traders. Rogers responded: I am probably not the person you want to interview. I often hold positions for many years. Furthermore, I'm...

    Best Alternative to US Citizenship

    Agreed. Both Switzerland and Monaco offer quite the nice scenery for those with money looking for a new place of residence. Only problem, if I would have to be picky, is they are a bit like Disneyland for the wealthy. In a way they do miss a bit of a real heartbeat. But hey, I can...

    Best Alternative to US Citizenship

    Western Europe. Official taxes are really high but everyone cheats and the state hardly cares. Everyone has a Polish cleaning lady, 2/3 of the fines never get payed and as a company chances of getting audited are 0.5%. Girls are pretty, beer is good and healthcare is free.:)

    Are Blanket Currencies A Solution ?....Maybe Not....EURO ?

    Milton Friedman said the Euro wouldnt survive it's first crisis. I'm sure a lot of Dollar bulls here would agree. Stress between Western Europe and the rest is high but is there a breaking point somewhere and where? Who knows.

    Oh look, Jim Rogers was long the dollar the last two months, and didn't tell you ?

    Is this why Soros (who's trackrecord is public and beyond doubt correct me if I am wrong) has written a bookshelf full and apears on the likes of CNBC just as often? Cheers. :) I agree on the contrarian stand by the way. It's appealing on many levels.

    Oh look, Jim Rogers was long the dollar the last two months, and didn't tell you ?

    Don't listen to me Rogers has stated a million times. Do your own homework. Don't listen to anyone. He as so much as acknowledged he did the research and Soros did the trading. Why would he 'act' as the top trader if he isnt? There are dozens of people each hour on CNBC who will...
