Finally!! a post by harry that I not only understand (sort of) but also agree with. Ze frensh arrr maybeee not dat, how you say... bad? :p

I have wanted to start a journal here in ET for a while now and I guess now is a good time as any. Also, I hope to stop polluting others' threads and keep my thoughts about the market here. If you are going to contribute to the thread I would only ask that you keep it very, very relevant. Other...

Iraq will become a democracy, but it won't be easy or quick. A while back the same sort of nay sayers (or their grandfathers) had the same reservations about Japan. After all, these people had NEVER known democracy. How can a people steeped in a feudal system crowned with a Deity/Emperor...

The camp that criticizes the US is only good at doing that:critique. They do not propose alternatives. They do not offer constructive suggestions. They do not help. They just sit back, sip their drink and wait for a slip. When it happens they jump on it and proclaim in shrill voices how they...

The other very important thing I forgot to mention in the above post is that ashura is a VERY emotional time for Shii Muslims. They simply go ape-shit. Other religions have similar rites (Easter in Sevilla for example) but non so shocking and bloody. I dare say a Western observer on the...

The whole USD/Euro for oil is a red herring. I don't think it makes any sense. But here is something interesting to those that preach doom and gloom (Prechter et al.) If the Iraqi situation stabilizes and they are friendly to the US, it will mean it is the first time in the history of OPEC...

I'm alarmed too. But remember that the people of Iraq are not a religious bunch really. The recent "uprisings" have all been staged by Iran. The banners painted in Iran and brought in and the people brought in to agitate the masses and hand out leaflets, make speeches... The Iraqis know that...

Do a search. On this site. Top right hand corner of the window.

Do a search on the site. Lots of info. Mostly negative.

Don't forget NVR, very high priced and great for swings.

aphy, I don't believe anything. Not unless he turns up (either a carcass or as prisoner). And yes, Belarus is technically a country but c'mon, you're not naive enough to think that Russia still has no pull there, are you?

Good stuff Josh. Since the following seems to be under the radar of everyone I thought I would bring it to your attention: http://www.jsmineset.com/s/NewsArchives.asp?ReportID=60293 And if you really want to cure that insomnia, read what Ben "printing press" Bernanke had to say today in...

I was recently in Toronto and even ate in the old Chinatown (close to city hall). Everything is fine. No one is wearing masks. This will pass. I wish the WHO would take a valium and go after the Communist idiots instead of Toronto.

According to Syrian intelligence his moustache survived unscathed. :D But according to Israeli intelligence he's in Belarus under the protection of the Russians.

msfe al-tikriti: I've noticed that you're "forgetting" to include links to the articles you post.The one above is from: http://politics.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,9115,942390,00.html Don't tell me you're embarrassed to quote the Guardian!

Yes...1812 was a war with Canada (technically still not a country). BTW Canada kicked ass!! :D and Harry...all that stuff about the Fed has been around for a while. It is an urban myth.

He's baaaaaaaaack !! http://www.ess.ucla.edu/faculty/sornette/prediction/index.asp#prediction

Guys, why do we keep falling for the trick? All msfe and those like him do is sit back and lob critique after critique (albeit unfounded) and as one is answered, another is on its way. Here is a short run down of previous ones: 1] there are no WMD in Iraq 2] more time for UN + for...

No, but Tonto did toss his salad (when the cameras were off).

Yes! you can actually 'forget'. As someone who speaks 3 languages fluently (not bragging) I can honestly say that the more I immerse myself in one language (or in your analogy thought process) after a few months where I only hear, see and speak it, I begin to 'forget' certain words and...
