I see; thanks. Dollar index will likely find support @ 80. I'll be watching to see if that support breaks.
Yeah, I'm not blaming them for the emotion: I'm just saying that I wish that it could be seen by every avg. joe in the US, but minus that emotion...
I watched Money Masters the other day - full of interesting history. Knowing the history of the system is very useful. Like for example, the...
I think it's wrong to assume that the Fed is incompetent - they're not stupid, and this is their job - they think about it 24/7. If you assume...
I'm kind of wondering if a rate cut actually <i>is</i> on the way. I feel like the prospect of an emergency rate cut has kind of gone away,...
Suppose that the dollar strength is in part caused by the failure of large firms, and the deleveraging/liquidation of hedge funds. They had dollar...

This is what Sun Tzu calls "death ground" - putting yourself in a position where you have to win or die. There's a time and a place for that, but...
It's like a hail mary pass. But quarterbacks only throw these when there's seconds left in the game and little hope of anything else working. No...
I believe that if the bailout passes the House, the market will bottom and turn around immediately - because CNBC said it was the case.
I'm sure there are experiments that would be just as good or better, but I think kids will learn something from it; and the point is to teach them...

bwolinsky, <i>everybody</i> learns that economics is the "allocation of scarce resources" - it's the first sentence in every economics textbook...
