What is the natural resource situation like in UK? Anything significant?

UK is in bad bad shape. These steps are necessary, but don't expect to make anything putting your money in that country for a long while...

More likely is due to China raising rates...

I'm guessing your answer to this question is "if the USD continues to drop then I say I exited @ b/e", or conversely, if the USD gains you say "I'm glad I held and see everybody? I'm right!"

In an inflationary environment, you have EVERY reason to buy a house, in a deflationary environment, you have EVERY reason NOT to buy a house. Housing is one of the biggest reasons deflation is bad, I'm not sure why you're trying to use it as an argument FOR deflation... You think it's...

Wrong, wrong, wrong. If the cost of a house is declining every month, are you going to buy one now or wait? If the cost of a car is declining every month, are you going to buy one now or wait? If everyone is waiting to purchase items because prices continue to decline, this inherently...

Most likely a pre-emptive strike on Thursday's GDP and prices reports. China likely already knows those numbers are going to come in high, so rather than listen to the US politicians clamor for exchange rate flexibility, now they can say they've done something.

I can't believe all of the niave people on here claiming deflation is good, temporary, healing, etc... How far in debt is the USA? They will be hard pressed to pay that back in an inflationary period let alone deflationary... Think of the big picture, and the trickle down effect of...

If we could only keep speculators out of the market, everything would be roses *rolls eyes*.

Unless they fit a certain view, right?

Whether or not you like the article, it's hard to deny the fact that the USA has become less "economically free" within the past few years. I don't think it spells disaster, but the trend line is definitely bearish.

Where the hell do you live that there are shoeshine boys?

Yikes. Does that also mean Nostrodamus is god?

I am so embarassed for you. You are advocating anti-knowledge because it leads to corruption. You need your head examined. People like you are the reason bible thumpers are constantly ridiculed.

You also don't focus on the 300% loss the year before, right? :D

You are not familiar with the concept of realized and unrealized gains/losses? The other poster is right - what a waste of bandwidth...

$5-$1 = $4 profit... Is it just me, or did we learn this in kindergarten?
