The hyperinflation of the Weimar Republic was basically caused by Germany's defeat in World War I, the harshly punitive reparations payments established by the Allies in the Treaty of Versailles along with large losses of former, economically valuable territory.Hitler had nothing to do with the hyperinflation and, if fact, Hitler and the Nazis, under a form of state controlled capitalism, (usually called fascism) built a massive economic-military machine out of the economic rubble of the Weimar Republic, in little more than 6 years (1933-39) that almost defeated the military and economic forces of the entire world.
The Germans had never experienced democracy before the Weimar Republic and democracy was pushed on them by Woodrow Wilson (the same way the George Bush administration has pushed democracy on Iraq.)
Before the Weimar Republic, Germany had hundreds of years of experience with big dictators (Prussia and Bavaria) and small dictators (princes) in over 300 small states.
Bismark, under the former Prussian prince Wilhelm I, unified Germany by placing it under the control of the miltaristic Prussia and paved the way for Hitler after the economic collapse produced by the defeat of World War I.
I don't think it is helpful to compare Germany and and the United States.
Not that we couldn't have hyperinflation or a dictatorship here but it wouldn't be similar to Germany's.
It would probably resemble a George Lucas movie on the outside with the morality of a Wall Street financial institution (take your pick) on the inside and be run by a nice man like Warren Buffet or Bill Gates :)

Actually Obama is a Marxist ideologue...yes he fit the model at least be honest about your liberal proclivity...! Onl the MSM and the blind cannot open admit they are pushing a leftist into power...as spoken by Nikita we will fall from within.....and the liberal are to blind or will deny the ideology they so openly embrace but lack the guts to openly confess it.....and no I'm not a GOP supporter...but rather an independent; thanks to more gutless drunken sailor (sorry about that fellow vets!) mentality GOP slugs complicit with Barney Franks and Bill Klinton for getting us into this mess......arrrrrgggghh... those are not paranoid views and because I dare call Obama what he really is does not make me a racist his politics are what they are, admit it and suck it up........

Morningstar is featuring an article this morning, by By Russel Kinnel (date stamped: 10/14/08 at 6:00 a.m.), bearing the headline:"Grantham: Stocks Haven't Been This Cheap since 1987. Market seer Jeremy Grantham predicted financial debacle, and now he's buying."
It goes on to say:
"Nonetheless he's now more constructive about equities because he believes they are trading at severely depressed prices. He said that at the end of Friday, global equities were trading as cheaply as they had been since the 1980s. In fact, the U.S. had traded below GMO's fair value estimate--though as we spoke Monday morning a rally had brought it back to around fair value. Specifically, he prefers blue chips to small caps or highly leveraged companies."
Grantham further states:
"We're buying carefully and slowly," Grantham notes. Why slowly? "When bubbles correct, they usually overcorrect so that the market is selling well below fair value."
Draw your own conclusions based on the contradictions in information provided by Barrons vs. Morningstar. Reply

For your analogy to hold any water, the "silver tongued orator" would need to also be a psychotic, scapegoating, hatemongering hyper-nationalist. Obama is none of those. Please spare us your vile paranoid fantasies. ReplyJeremy Grantham: Stocks Still Aren't Cheap [view article]

Take a look at some of the studies done. Trailing stops do indeed prove tough because they are not adjusting as they need to and that's why the whipsaw. Being afraid to sell because one might miss the uptrend, well , the re-entry side of that can be as simple as a new 20-day high and studies will show that is STILL far superior to other methods. Folks like to tout that if you miss the 10 best days of the market, you lose out. Well we have one study that shows your returns may fall by 14%. What they DON'T tell you is that if you miss the worst 10 days of the market your returns rise by 24%! ReplyReturn of Weimar Monetary Policies? [view article]
Re Attila's email.I should think McCain could do a good resemblance as a warmonger and Obama as bleeding heart both printing money to serve their ends. Either way we will get inflation and this is the route the US have used to solve their debt problems ever since they forced the world off the gold standard in the 1973/4 crash,which suited other Governments also.
The big question is what do you invest in to counter raging inflation?
Cigarette makers and cheap food stocks used to be the answer. What now?anyone got an answers? Reply

For the US to follow the Weimar Republic's fate, we would need a silver tongued orator who can fool the masses with empty rhetoric of hope and change, and whom millions of Germans adore. We don't know anyone like that, do we? ReplyJeremy Grantham: Stocks Still Aren't Cheap [view article]
There's a serious flaw in the school of investing. Asset allocation. Asset allocation based on past performance and correlations are bound to prove irrelevant, "black swan" events will make any predictory investment theory laughable. We simply don't have enough data or sample size to intelligently decide which asset class to invest in and how they will perform.I believe there should be only 2 assets in a portfolio: cash and risky investments. Risky investments include equity, HY, options, commodities, currencies, etc. When we decide how to invest, we should always be mindful that the risk for all these risk assets are equal(if it hasn't proved equally risky yet, it will) and we should be ready to write all of them off.
So are stocks cheap now? Who knows! If you can risk the portion of your asset allocation, take a punt! If not, keep them either in overnight deposit or short dated T-bills. Reply
