In euro's the dow is down 10% year to date?:cool:

Considerable or even relatively high inflation doesnt guarantee commodity performance I would think. Hyperinflation is a different story ofcourse. But simply high inflation can present itself in the stockmarket, wages, real estate or commodities or a few of them combined at the same time...

I'm voting for the socialists!:p 'Let the bankers pay for the crisis themselves!' :D

If the European union has a crime problem then why does the US has the largest incarceration rate of the world? 5% of the world population yet a wopping 25% of the world's prison population. In the meanwhile in the Netherlands prisons are closing for lack of criminals but I guess that's...

1:EUR to USD (Interbank rate) 10/26/2000 0.82850 07/16/2008 1.59390 http://www.oanda.com/convert/fxhistory 2: Be that as it may the rise in commodity prices these last years have been felt far less in stronger currencies then in the $. 3: Same as number 2 and oil was at below...

As an austrian economist Faber is probably of the opinion that disbalances in an economy should be allowed to be to be dealt with by the free market not by government intervention. If nations decide to take the interventionist path anyway chances are prety high according to the Austrian...

The $ dropped 100% against the euro last decade. 400% against gold. 1000% against oil? Perhaps we should decide on the definition of high inflation first before we can discuss if it is in the cards or not.

Unsustainability can go a long way. If the author and others are right with their assumption of inevitable deflation to come we will see 300% debt to GDP ratio's across the board before a change of course could be in the cards eventually.

The author is of the view trillions of bad loans are going to be picked up by the taxpayer in the US and elsewhere but don't believe the hysterics deflation will be the name of the game not inflation. Fair enough. So what he really is saying is governments and central banks can print...

I read an article on laywers helping their clients use such backdoors to not get kicked out. I believe it is true in order to evict you they need to hold the loan in physical possession. Most don't.:p

I believe it was Willem Buiter, a respected Financial Times columnist and life long economist, who answered that question with the opinion that the evidence on why we find the worlds financial system in the state it is in today to be really too overwhelming to blame it solely on incompetence...

Perhaps some would like to comment on the range of power the market movers have to their disposal. If precious metals suppression is considered as a given fact how come gold has gone from 250 to a 1000$ an ounce this decade? I once read a comment by someone who said he didnt believe the...

Wouldn't that also partially be a consequence of a failed system that again serves only those who have most to lose if the population would regain some level of intelligence and frugality? Seems to me people in the western world have been intentionally dumbed down to serve as the engine of...

Achilles, I believe you are a believer of the US of A being hijacked more or less by the banking cartel and their interests, right? Do you sometimes dare to consider the idea of 'them' overplaying their hand as just what your country needs regardless of the short therm consequences in order...

NY Times wrote a piece on Latvia not so long ago http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/24/world/europe/24latvia.html?_r=2&ref=business Sounds pretty bad. Good luck to you.

Ah ha! I knew it! Keep stacking.:) Thanks for the article.

We should have crashed the global economy far earlier creating chaos in the brics thus ensuring western supremecy for another 100 years at least. Ooh well. :)

In $ you are right. In foreign currencies? Not so much. What good is a Dow up 10% when the dollar is down 10% or more against the Euro and others.

If the idea was to 'stimulate' the economy how can this be achieved with allowing the blood on which the economy runs to spike again. Imagine 20$ oil a barrel. Wouldnt that have stimulated the economy? Thanks for the insights of the op btw. You get the 'it's not working it's not...
