So the entire reason you believe there is a god is because the universe appears fine tuned? That is the evidence you have gathered, evaluated, and based a conclusion on?

I think the most likely scenario would be weed becoming legal, not all drugs. Weed = harmless. Did the world go to hell in a handbag when alcohol became legal?

Short the currency against what? USD? That is laughable. Euro? Maybe, but hardly a safe investment.

Are you able to provide some numbers or a reference to back up your claim that valuations are way out of whack?

Fortunately for Canada, we did not "do everything" like the US. Not even close. If we did, the housing market would have blown up by now. The fact of the matter is, foreclosures in Canada are not a significant problem. I realize this was put out by a real estate broker, which has obvious...

:D

If only capitalism didn't exist....think of how great the world would be! Global warming? Damn capitalists! Financial crisis? Damn capitalists! Got the flu last winter? Damn capitalists fault, that's for sure!

Regardless of the CPA exam, the USA has not agreed to adopt full IFRS standards. I believe they are supposed to make their decision sometime next year although I am uncertain on the exact timeline (by this time, most other countries will already have IFRS fully adopted). CPA's need to know...

:p Was expecting this comment. Out of curiosity - how much time needs to pass before we can take this off the table? :D

Pretty sure this is the greatest religion-related post ever made. Unfortunately, I fear it will fall of deaf ears - for many of the reasons you list in your post.

Read Hawking's new book. It would be nice if us non-physicists could explain this concept in a simple ET post, but there is a reason as to why the Earth's greatest minds write entire books on such subjects.

My question is why do you call the universe "god"? If the universe and god are one in the same, why be all confusing about it? Why not call the universe the universe?

Ownership can still change hands even though the company is private.

The EMU is still a very young experiment and is a long ways away from being declared a success. We are seeing the cracks now with the sovereign debt crisis. The Europe situation is somewhat unique as well. Given the close proximity of the countries to one another and the multiple...

The new IFRS accounting standards applies to almost every country EXCEPT for the USA. This is going off topic and sort of a side note - but I believe the reluctance of the USA to adopt IFRS reporting standards will hurt investment in the country. The rest of the world will be reporting a...

And have been for almost 2 years now. Good thing you don't have any real money on the line.

BOJ powerless unless USA is on board....which they aren't. BOJ will cause some temporary pullbacks, but the market is too strong and is never wrong.

Won't happen. I can see why people think it's a possibility, and theoretically a case could be made as to the benefits of a combined American and Asian currency, but when you think about it practically it could never happen (or at least will take a LONG time). You think the USA will give...

Remember CROX? What a crock that was.
