So you can not return to the US, or do they actively ask for extradition?

Say as an American you move to Sweden and decide not to pay US taxes anymore. What are the implications?

It was more or less a joke. I just posted the topic because I guess in a way it has more place for discussion when someone like Hawking comes out with such a point of view then when I or you take sides in this debate. He also believes in extraterrestrial life by the way but I guess I should...

Actually, Business insider had a special not so long on people with high IQ's and Hawking 'only' had one of 160 or so. I am not an expert on the matter but I don't think that will rank you as the smartest guy in the world I think. Anyway, there were others with many higher then 160 in the...

I think regardless of who is president, the top financiers have a big foot in the door at the Élysée, in which country is this not the case? Other then that Sarkozy and his entourage were very closely connected to both BNP's handling of the crisis years and the other ones at times even...

His vision on Sarkozy's views on finance is rather wrong actually I would think. Under Sarkozy's reign French banks have managed to expand significantly on a global scale with it's biggest fish BNP actually becoming the world's largest bank by a large stretch. He might talk different but...

Recently I am watching Woody Allen movies from last decade and I must say I love most of them. The voice over, the relationships going bad, the neurotic behaviour of everybody, ... Often there is barely a story to be told but that doesnt mean there is nothing to see. Maybe I should try...

He said himself in Market Wizards he got wiped out in options in the early seventies. First he like tripled his money then he lost it all.

He was staying in a 3K a night hotel suite... How much SDR's are that?

I'm curious... How much would Rogers be worth.... He stopped working somewhere in his mid 30's so he might have given up some potential gains there...Yet he probably stayed in the game continiously since. He sold his NY house for +20 million after buying it for a fraction years earlier...

This is correct, yet somehow conventional wisdom these last decades have dictated precious metals are an artifact of the prehistoric ages and exposure should be limited to 5% of ones networth maximum. And face it, this 5% endorsement is given with grinding teeth as if someone is asking...

I get that but really the destination of the money is not known in advance is it? The money could still shift across borders, between assets and to different banks potentially leading to concequences similar to those of a bankrun. Mind you I would not be in favour of a global bank run...

Isnt this true only if the money used to buy the metals get's put back in the banking system by the new owners?

You can at least overhere (Belgium). There is a spread obviously but they are nationwide and the same at all banks. You can also buy gold at exchange offices and gold dealers, but surely this must be the case in the US if not where would US citizens buy their gold. Watch this site to get...

Most places in the world you can just sell and buy gold at your local bank! I take it that is not the case in the US but I don't know why that is.

http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/6479 Watch Jimmy Rogers pump commodities and China in this 1995 video. People say it's easy to predict what goes up 10 years from now and everyone can be right that way I say please tell we what's up 500% to 1000% in 10 years and I will be forever...

Yes, he is pretty radical on a number of issues but that is also what makes him interesting in my view. Basically you can chose between 20 copies of each other who will argue whether taxes should be raised or cut 1%, 2% or 3% or Ron Paul who stands for something completely different. And...

This article from 2003 was one of the first I read getting into economics and it really shaped my views I would say looking back. http://www.financialsensearchive.com/transcriptions/2003/RT090603.html Rogers really is a great guy. You can even email him and he'll get back to you fast...

I remember following his shot in 2007 and 2008. He didnt have a chance really despite his internet popularity. Have things changed? He is kind of radical but then again if you want true change I guess he really is the only alternative no? Any other candidate will only run on changing...
