Quote from gnome:
Think about WWII. If we had not prevailed, either the Nazis or Japs* would be running rampage over America.
Today the military is fighting for the whimsical, personal values of Prez Bush. SON-OF-A-BITCH, I hate that!! The President is supposed to "lead the country"... do "what's in the best interest of the American people and the country as a whole". Instead, he's used his office to pursue his own personal agenda at tax-payer expense and the lives of American service personnel. That is all WRONG!. (Don't think I'm a Democratic Bush hater... RepubliClowns and DemoCraps are equally dishonest and loathsome in my view.)
* I know this term is considered derogatory... back then, they were "Japs", now Japanese.. not the same.
Quote from Galatia:
FED is only punishing foreign banks/countries that are holding large amount of dollar reserves by lowering rates. But i guess this won't last long, they're about to slap on the FED and start to sell their $s and diversify their portfolio. Actually this is just a begining. Sooner or later USD bonds rates will start to rise and $ will plunge to a level that has never seen before or one can imagine.
Quote from Ivanovich:
I don't know about the rest of you, but I've already begun planning a move to Switzerland (putting together a 10 year plan to leave once and for all). I'm done with this fucked up country and it's stupidity. Don't get me wrong, I love America, always have. But this is not the America so many died to defend. This is...some other perverted mess that the government has indirectly morphed it into.
What was once the land of opportunity has become a vomitous pile of politically correct and morally incorrect decision making.
Quote from Cesko:
There are so many smart people around here. I am not going to argue with anyone. You are all correct. I have one question though, how many of you have opened FOREX account and converted whatever you own into SF or anything better than $$????
Ivanovich WTF you are talking about?10 year planning my ass. Count everything you have and convert it into SF, you will,de facto, become an outsider before you even move anywhere. Considering what you wrote in this thread and considering also this is a fucking trading site you probably have done so already. If not you probably never heard of FOREX or you just enjoy bitching.
I voted by my foot in my life and it was much more risky and complicated than opening a stupid FOREX account.
OK "traders" who keeps most your money in "better" foreign currency??????
