What population growth in China??? Have you looked at the UN stats on population? Most of the developed world is falling off a cliff. The Japanese and most of Western Europe won't exist in a few generations. The Chinese will lose 50% of their population over the next 30 years. Over population is...

Stu, Every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. I pray that you come to this realization while you can still bow willingly. You'll be in my prayers. God willing I'll see you one day.

I'm not arguing against the idea that government spending creates jobs, but I do have one concern. So far the Fed purchased corporate bonds directly through QE1 and then government bonds directly through QE2. Both of these market operations have the effect of keeping bond rates down. My question...

Just in time is the base line for operation. Businesses also adjust input stockpiles based on expected future prices. When inputs are expected to rise they can and do stockpile at lower prices. They also hedge their future input purchases in futures markets. The same advantage exists with less...

There is no difference between the time frames. We are just arbitrarily breaking price into different time segments. When you get a good feel for PA you can see how it flows through time frames. You have to be able to see past individual bars and realize that price is continuous, it doesn't...

Come on, don't fall for that bs. It's obviously someone trying to get that exact reaction out of you.

Bearice, You are doing your faith a disservice. Please think before you post.

Obviously this is the biggest bs in the world. Happiness can be measured in other terms than dollars. I guess the truth is that there are too many self centered individuals in the world that don't see the value in creating a life and raising a child. God save us.

Currently the FED is only buying assets that would be bought anyways if banks weren't being extremely risk averse. You say printing, but would it be any different if they FED printed it and loaned it out to some banks and then they purchased the assets? When the financial system is repaired and...

Why can't the FED simply sell all of the T-bonds and other assets they have been buying over the last two years in order to keep money supply fixed? That's what they have said they will do, what do you know that they don't? I just want you to explain why their plan won't work. All you have said...

But what does that tell you about the market? That it is ignoring bad news. IMO when the market sells ignoring good news and buys ignoring bad news then that news is relatively unimportant compared to past news and future news. When I see a market ignoring news it gives me more conviction in...

Then why has the price of gold risen at all? Shouldn't the mines be able to keep supply relative to demand fixed? We have been hearing the "we can't keep growing" thing for a long time. The carrying capacity of the earth is continuously changing as our ability to use and reuse its resources change.

So we are assuming that every transaction is made in gold. We are also assuming that the value of total transactions is increasing through time (at least we hope). In this scenario (growth) the value of gold would be forced to increase in order to accommodate for rising transaction value. We...

Does no one notice the most basic problem with using gold? When the price of gold represents all the things in the world then the price must be continually rising to be evenly divided and still equal all assets. If you could make a continuous return just by holding on to the asset why would you...

Being completely serious, can you explain how we are exporting inflation. Because there is so much cash on the sidelines effective money supply has remained unchanged. When that starts to change the FED can simply sell its assets to keep money supply fixed. The USD is little changed against a...

Does it matter? My statement could easily apply to him or any other random author.

Good notes. Instead of grilling Bernanke congress should focus on balancing the budget. If t-bills weren't crowding out other bond markets Bernanke wouldn't have needed QE2 to begin with.

Is this a serious argument? I'm not sure Moore's law applies to cotton too.

The 2011 models are the first American cars I would buy in a long time. The commercials aren't that bad either.

1) That seems to be in line with the kind of work 3rd world citizens do in their economies. 2) What evidence do you have of this. Things will be produced in whatever country has a comparative advantage in the production of that good. The United States currently has the largest production...
