Peking will be a desert in 20 years, everyone knows this. Too bad for them but hey that's life.

Ofcourse, the interest.:) When you think of it the perma bears should really include that into their analysis. Thanks Morganist, very insightfull.

Bare with me for a moment. This is not another one of these oh my god the $ is going to collapse buy gold now topics so don't even go there ok?:) Nevertheless the following question came to mind. It has been claimed by many the USD has lost 90% of it's purchasing power since the...

France Telecom is struggling to deal with a wave of staff suicides which has seen more than 20 workers take their lives in the past 18 months – some leaving notes blaming job stress and misery at work. Today a technician in Troyes, south-east of Paris, stabbed himself in front of other...

If you bought the index the dollar drop hurts you, if you bought individual stocks, not so much. If you are up 300% in a stock you can take a 10% drop in the USD index.:)

Agreed.:) Faber is great. :D I do have respect for both and their 'contratian peers' and I will tell you why. As the credit crisis hit in the spring of 08 with the crash of Bear Stearns the country where I live (Belgium) was bound to get hit hard as it had probably the most...

I was watching that Short GE interview in april and in all fairness it tanked to sub5$ a share a few days after. Wouldnt he have covered afterwards?:D Anyway, sure there is a lot of mist and cult to the man 'who partnered Soros during the seventies and made billions' but hey that's...
