Comment on The Emperor is Naked: David Stockman by econ

econ — Mon, 07 May 2012 21:25:17 +0000

As long as Wall St banksters own and direct the Executive, Congress and Courts and Federal Reserve there is going to be a bad end to USA with questionable recovery in a financial calamity not seen before. Economy will be collateral damage. The Bowles-Simpson Commission was a very good start to not leaving any progress to the end of the debt cliff at end of 2012…and their interview with Charlie Rose was clear that Congress has surely earned its less than 10% approval rating from public. Every one should be voted out in November and sent to the Gulag.

Comment on The Central Flaw in Krugman’s Argument Against Keen by Joe Eagar

Joe Eagar — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 01:25:48 +0000

I don’t understand. Of course borrowing is limited by savings, since loans are spent on real goods. In our world of modern fiat currencies and open capital accounts–where central bankers are dedicated to controlling inflation–someone, somewhere, must save to finance global investment.

The assumption of price stability is the limiting factor to lending growth, and the main instrument of policy is the short-term interest rate–this is why some central banks (e.g. New Zealand) have no formal limits on the money supply at all, and ration credit via interest rates alone.

If a nation faces a shortfall in savings, it has two options. It may either borrow the savings of foreigners, and appreciate its exchange rate (either nominally or through inflation) to import real resources. Or, it may ration credit through higher interest rates. Most nations choose both; they use higher rates both to reduce lending and to attract foreign capital.

Comment on Presenting Bridgewater’s Weimar Hyperinflationary Case Study by smokeybear

The Weimar government felt compelled to inflate incomes due to the growing popularity of the socialists. The western governments are under no such threat to their power.

Therefore, the monetization to stop deflation does not follow through to rising incomes but stops at feeding commodity/energy bubbles which then acts as a tax on the consumer economies.

At this point, politicians would rather fund urban tanks, drones and flash grenades than feed income growth. It appears western governments have bypassed Weimar and proceeded straight to Nazi fascism.

Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.

Comment on True or False: India to pay Iran in Gold for its oil by Endgame Resetter

Endgame Resetter — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 06:59:27 +0000

I didn’t expect this from India! But then, bravo to India and thanks God. I was expecting either Russia or China or maybe Japan to initiate this kind of action, so that others can see that this is not anymore about Judeo-Christian and Islamic clash of civilizations. This is more about the Bankrupster trying to expand to the East after sucking dry the West(USD/Euro). People of the East, please behold the eastern value. Don’t take this as East and West clash of civilizations either. Please forget our differences my eastern neighbors, and unite in using the gold rather than fiat money. If not we will all be like our western neighbors with their USD/Euro. Yes, they are coming to these east-side of the globe after plundering the west, with their so called investment funds etc which are just only useless fiat money, and yet our leader/politician can’t resist the candy of the fiat money; but we, once and for all must act fast to spread this awakening nationwide, then eastern-wide and later worldwide. Please make our leader to follow suit the Indian leader footstep. For our western neighbor, please behold and don’t participate in any form of the Bankrupster hostility in whatever propaganda targeted to the other races/nations/religions etc. The awakening surely will later reach our western neighbors. Hopefully we all will be destined to celebrate this awakening later on.

Comment on The U.S. Dollar Paper Tiger by noreserves

I don’t quite get the cause and effect picture here. How is it that the EU is teaming up with the US in the defense of the Dollars as world reserve currency? Is it extortion from US side made possible by a US-engineered debt crisis in EU? It seems plausible that US knows that preemptive invasions is only enough to hold on to hegemony for a short while, but the euro-threat (or other currency-blocks) is the long term problem. Did EU-leaders get caught un-guard?

Comment on GBP/USD is Trading at Range Support Again by forex

forex — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 01:45:48 +0000

GBP/USD is showing a bearish pattern and why now. The currency pair has a correlation of 80 to 90 with EUR/USD. But then if we see the daily chart, it is almost perfectly moving within the Bollinger bands, even though the bands are slowly slopping down. The current price action is touching the lower band. It should go little more downward and then if the pattern continues we may have a buying opportunity.

Comment on The Market Ticker – From The "You Can’t Make This Up" File by JW

JW — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 21:38:37 +0000

It’s the same guy. Look up his bankruptcy case in West Palm Beach, Florida, his mortgage fraud case in Los Angeles, and his paternity case in Orange County, California. Don’t forget about how he sued the CA Attorney General after the State Bar shut down his law practice, he sued the government while they were still investigating Heart Tronics, and he sued a woman after she sued him for child support or paternity. Either all these lawsuits against him are false or he’s lying. First up seems to be his bankruptcy which may be turned into a Chapter 7 or dismissed in a few weeks. If is bankruptcy status is changed, then he’s a fraud.

Comment on Why We Shouldn’t be Selling the Right to Live in America by Sandy Shore

Sandy Shore — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 14:32:23 +0000

Interesting idea, but I’m not sure about selling homes to foreigners who CAN’T work here to young Americans who CAN work here. Wouldn’t that create the ultimate ‘bedroom community’? And comparing the housing market in Vancouver to the market in the US may be just a little bit of a stretch. Besides, in South Florida, we have a steady stream of people from the UK and Canada (and South America and even Russia) buying homes here, and it still isn’t boosting home prices. Maybe we should instead look at the supply side. Figuring out how to allow existing upside down home owners to refinance their homes and lower their payments would provide some incentive for some people to not default. This would reduce the number of short-sales and foreclosures and, ultimately, would reduce the supply of distressed homes. Distressed homes drive prices down for the market. Reduce the downward pull of prices and the supply of homes on the market, and it seems to me that you help prices recover.
