??? Pick up an economics textbook sometime. Or a history book. Or any book for that matter... Blame your problems on the Fed for all I care.

:D LOL sounds like you've probably lost a lot of money and/or have been missing out on the highly profitable longs. For some reason you have an axe to grind with someone, so I'll let you rant.

Small price to pay when you consider the alternative. Why didn't you address my second question? Why do you think the USA Fed is so unique?

Read The Ascent of Money by Niall Ferguson. You will find out that booms and busts have been happening since the 1700's. You, Fatty, are the nit wit.

Scat, nobody has a bigger mouth on ET than you. I could make a post about my dog dieing and you would somehow turn that into Obama's fault and how the USA is going to collapse and the world will end. I would rather read Increasenow's journals than read your repetitive, political rhetoric...

What's it like in that fantasy world of yours?

More strict lending requirements (especially mortgages) - no sub-prime. More strict capital requirements for banks. As for CAD/USD, I think you could be wrong on your forecast. It's currently at the level it was pre-crash, before the flight to safety of USD. GS today raised its 3-12...

This user is obviously a troll. I would be very pleased to see this thread deleted and this user banned.

Believe it....it happens.

Here is some food for thought that hardly anybody ever mentions: Perhaps we've learned from history and are better able to deal with economic and financial shocks than in the past? Question for the bears: What news could come out that would actually make you turn bullish?

The dreaded "if it's good news it must be a lie" logic!

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601082&sid=aDl_4oP5nfUQ Instead, Canada is proposing governments require banks to keep contingent capital on hand in case of emergency. I like this plan, personally, because in reality, does anyone here trust the government to use the bank tax revenue...
