    The Credit Crisis Financial Stocks Short Journal

    Daal, I admire your analytic and critical thinking so I was wondering if you could share your opinion on the Shadowstats report claiming hyperinflation is a given. http://www.shadowstats.com/article/hyperinflation Cheers.

    If you don't read Fooled by Randomness and The Black Swan, you'll be a naive trader?

    As far as I am concerned the Black swan was crap. The French are socialists, I used to work on Wall Street and America is the greatest country on earth. There you have it, an entire book in one sentence.

    Roubini Says Rogers’s Forecast of $2,000 Gold ‘Utter Nonsense’

    You are comparing a short timeframe of gold's performance to one of the greatest stockmarket rallies of the last 100 years. Gold averaged a 16% anual return this decade, I would dare to state this outperforms a lot of investors on ET and elsewhere.

    Gold and silver up +2000%.

    Well, determining when an asset class has reached mania levels is obviously quite tricky and I am too young to have lived trough one of the big bubbles of the past to compare. I once read how during the peak of the Nasdaq bubble hair salons had televisions in them playing CNBC 24/7 so people...

    Please Define "Too Big to Fail" and "Systemic Risk"

    Agreeing on the too big to fail paradigm doesnt mean one should have to agree on the way governments handled this crisis although it doesnt exclude it either ofcourse. Other routes were on the table than those taken who arguably favoured stockholders most. I do believe a bankruptcy chain...

    Please Define "Too Big to Fail" and "Systemic Risk"

    That's because the US has a relatively small banking sector VS it's GDP. From Switzerland to the Netherlands to the UK just to name a few were countries who had an exposure to their banking sector so disproportional a failure of them would probably mean these countries to turn bankrupt...

    Please Define "Too Big to Fail" and "Systemic Risk"

    Obviously the Iceland case is a prime example of a too big to fail scenario where the recources were absent to recapitalise the banks that had balance sheets several times the countries' GDP. In the era where we live in today, one of international interwinding, banking obligations are those...

    Gold and silver up +2000%.

    Most goldbugs distinguish basically 4 factors as the main driver behind this bullmarket in gold and those of the past. 1: Geopolitical/economic dislocations. 2: Negative real intrest rates. 3: The Dow Gold ratio as a measuring instrument on paper VS hard asset cycles. 4: Investor Mania as...

    Gold and silver up +2000%.

    lol :p What I was trying to say was: Was it a good thing to own sugar, coffee, silver or gold during the seventies? It depends.:) Do 100%, 200% or 400% rises in a certain asset class mean there is very little upside potential left? Not nessesarily.:) One could also look at the USD...

    Gold and silver up +2000%.

    I believe some commodities started moving up in the sixties already and some had their blow of spike during the early eighties as did commodities streched out their run over a decade or 2 between both World Wars. During these cycles each and every commodity reached a new all time high...

    European commission forces 'too big to fail' banks to be broken up.

    Ackermann hits at split-up of banks. Political pressure to cut banks down in size was “totally misguided”, Josef Ackermann, chief executive of Deutsche Bank and chairman of the Institute of International Finance, warned on Monday in a scathing attack on regulatory thinking. In a...
