Anyone got a spare broomstick ?

The US just doesn't really understand foreign people. Their politicians are much more attuned to US opinion and does not realize that others just can't be bullied into accepting their solutions. Their isolationist view before WW2 let the Fascists dominate and now post WW2 their meddling just...

Just imagine - once there was a political dynasty - the Kennedies. Now , you lucky people, have 2 political dynasties - the Bushes or the Clintons. Assuming that they keep reproducing, the USA could be ruled by each in turn for 100s of years maybe.

There is no democracy in trading. The opinion of the average Joe is not usually as good as a proved expert's.

Trading disasters are funny, as long as they are happening to somebody else.

In hindsight I wish I was a fly-on-the-wall at the meetings of the Swiss bankers that unpegged their currency and had a million to invest.

The only instance of a true edge, I thought upon reading through the whole thread was in fact also cheating by being privy to inside knowledge. Yes maybe accountancy in a big firm is the way to go as there weren't any others.

Have to say you are right on that one Vol. Nothing funny about crashing planes and dead people. luis-HK sounds like a youngster high on something. Probably calm down in his later years and be more sensible.

About time they gave peace a chance. Any fool can pull a trigger. It takes good sense, courage and determination to promote the peace line.

Just disguising the fact that the US has been one of the worst run countries for decades, smoke and mirror tricks won't fool all of the people for all of the time. It is time to fess up and pay up. No convenient other country to blame either. The weakness of democracy at work imho - just go on...

The US and you may and do boast how much assets it has, BUT it never gets to the stage of realizing these assets into money or even that they change hands. The just have more QE and paper debt. My point was that is that if a part of the US became foreign owned as it would for a private person...

Thanks to lousy politicians, the USA and Greece find themselves in similar messes i.e. in such huge debt that is un-repayable even if they wanted to. When the rest of us come out of the dream state we are in we will ask for , nay demand that these 2 badly run countries man up and get their acts...

The above post found by Tsing Tao contains and portrays the facts very well in an understandable way but lacks just one major ingredient. And that is, just why should anyone want to bail out a corrupt country that will not and even cannot repay it's debts. I've got a lady friend who exhibits...

Told you that they should have stayed with sea shells. :)

Mere money is not what you should want out of life. Fun, entertainment and satisfaction are much more valuable than lumps of metal.

At least if a country is out of the euroland/EU set-up it will be able to do what it likes and not have Berlin breathing down it's neck. The Greek govt should pass a law stating that any assets held outside Greece should be declared and taxed. Anyone caught breaking this rule would forfeit all...
