U.S. Dollar: Best of the Worst? [view article]
you hyper-inflation guys will be saying the same thing in 5 years . Buy gold and silver !! It's coming to a end !! We will be just fine just like the 70's ! It hurt but we recovered , things were fixed buy super high interest rates . Hello , history often repeats , and for all you gold bugs out there . Gold has done horrible since the 70's . It's pretty much where it was . T-Bill's have destoyed gold in return since then . ReplyU.S. Dollar: Best of the Worst? [view article]
In response to your question, I think that we should "forget about it." The it is money. People still need to do the work that has to be done. Especially all the "poor" and "middle class" people who provide all the mundane goods and services that everyone enjoys everyday. We can let our fixation on money drive us to wreck and ruin or we can get on with the work that has to be done. We all still need to provide the basics for each other rich, middle class or poor. We need to eat. We need to clothe ourselves, and we need a roof over our heads. If we focus on making sure everyone in this country has these necessities in sufficient quantity to maintain their human dignity, then the money or capital that has been lost will gradually be regenerated. There is still enough money to pay people for the work that has to still be done so that food can be eaten, clothes can be worn, and rents can be paid. We just have to give up the notion of surplus wealth until we have regained sufficient wealth for a well functioning and sustainable economy. ReplyU.S. Dollar: Best of the Worst? [view article]
At least this answers one question: Bush pushed for privatization of Social Security into the wonderful equity markets. Boy!, the Fibonacci rats are deserting that ship!.Of course this is not a ringing endorsement of the present system, under which todays payers will get a nickel on the dollar, if they get that.
And take a look at that 4% inflation, which is your coat of living raise.
If the Wall street economists-(bankers)-i... collusion with our wonderful elected officials can produce such a cornucopia for the Serfs--
Bring back the Monarchy!. Reply

yeah -in the short run commodities will continue to tank but as the injection of liquidity from the fed /treasury takes place plus all the money on the sidelines - plus central banks around the world printing out their own currency - yes inflation is right around the corner -the price of gold reflected that yesterday as both the dollar (increased against other currencies ) and gold increased at the same time -the fed 's policies as well as world banks is to dilute the problem with so much currency it becomes a more manageable problem being having so many dollars around will deflate the cost of the crises or credit derivatives but inflate the cost of assets

The gig is almost up... You cannot print yourself out of this crisis. Otherwise, why couldn't each of us head down to our basement and print our own $100 bills to pay our debts? Why is it considered counterfeiting when we do it????Because printing money that has no basis in value is illegal and unconstitutional!
Buy gold and silver and prepare for the eventual devaluation of our currency. Reply

The world economy must be in really,really, really bad shape, if there are demands for our worthless currency! ReplyU.S. Dollar: Best of the Worst? [view article]
this isnt the 1930's where govts have to find more gold to back their dollars/currencies .They are all fiat currencies and can literally be printed out of thin air (there is an unlimited supply ) - all the CB's around the world are being forced to create money(even if it is only to buy dollars)- the dollar wont crash because evryone is creating new money at the same time- In the last 2 weeks alone (before the new 900 billion auction and the bailout)the govt has been printing at 200% increase -why else would gold go up while the dollar does ? because there is a worldwide devaluation of currency and gold unlike other commodities has no real industrial demand and doesnt reflect future demand in this respect (majority of commodities are tanking due to the assumption there will be less economic activity in the future)but in fact is showing there will be future inflationary pressure due to the current creation of currencies..

Enjoyed reading the article and comment. Certainly nice to read some where "good" or even exceptional performance has been earned and deserves recognition. More reinforcement for the historical lesson showcasing the need for sound money and traditional values or principles. ReplyTop 10 Currency Trading Tips From Deutsche Bank [view article]

What you are saying appears to be total nonsense. I have a couple hundred thousand dollars in an IRA. I have tried and tried and tried to invest in foreign currencies at decent interest rates and ETFs are the only choice. I have been buying CD's from Everbank. Their rates are at least 1.5% lower than ETF rates, but they are FDIC insured (which probably doesn't mean much). I have tried about 20 different US and Foreign banks and Everbank and ETF's are the only choice for a small IFA. Name one other option. ReplyMexico: Running Out of Oil and Options [view article]
The best strategy for US interests is to increase real investment in Mexico. Most Mexicans would rather stay home if the jobs were available. Mexico is seriously underemployed so they will go where the jobs are, that's the way markets work. I recently vacationed in Mexico and encountered a growing number of Mexicans who spoke English and learned it in the United States. They returned home and brought skills learned here with them. I also met many US citizens who are retiring in Mexico for obvious reasons. This cross cultural movement is good for both countries.Some of that $40B in drug money is spent here in the US on guns which are used against the Mexican police. We could help the situation by following the money to the gun dealers. I'm with Stephanie and think that decriminalization of drug use will deprive the bad guys of funding. But not in this administration even though legalization is pure Reaganomics.

I'm sure TB Pickens would be ecstatic to put nat gas on the market at a break even of $2.50/gal equivalent. I'm amazed that the market thinks oil is a bargain at $100. Very short memories, I suppose. Reply

Unfortunately there is little that "foreign companies with superior technology and experience" can do; an oil field that is declining rapidly cannot be made to do more than increase production in a small way by using different methods of extraction, and this merely ensures that the field will decline more quickly anyway.World Peak-Oil production is here and there's nothing that can be done to stop the decline; the best that could be done is to reduce demand, but only at the expense of world industrial expansion. A new way of looking at economics will have to be embraced, it will be called The Economics of Permanent Decline in the Age Of The Scavenger. Reply
