How U.S. Investors Can Play the Carry Trade

Why does the DBV look like the chart of the S & P? And if the S & P tanks won't the DBV tank as well?

Is a Weak Dollar Creating a Bubble?

They are selling houses at no money down again. Tell me Bob what bubble they are not in love with. Asset bubbles will take the consumer down. But the Fed continues to think the consumer can defy gravity. I don't get it.

The Demise of Japan as an Economic Power?

If Japan defaults I hope they take Goldman Sachs with them. And you don't know if the government spending figures in the US. are even valid. I don't believe, that with sales receipts down, spending isn't also down a lot more than reported. I think we could end up like Japan. I think we cannot afford inflation because our people cannot buy the higher priced products. hubpages.com/hub/The-R...
