With global warming, a 10 year depression and their foreigner "offshore" taxation system the UK might actually become a cheap and sunny place to retire in a couple years :cool:

Home come though the gold bugs argue that treasury bonds are a bubble and gold isn't? :cool:

German banks bought into everything they could get their hands on, driven by greed: US mortgage debt, collateralized debt obligations, leveraged buyout debt and corporate junk debt in Eastern and Central Europe. The ironic thing is there was next to nil net house price appreciation in Germany...
