  • The IMF's Latvian Bailout Program Is a Mistake Without Devaluation [View article]
    1/ Well, I suggest looking the Russian & Ukrainian export statistics and think for example the latest Russian-Ukrainian gas conflict. Why Russia wanted to get the natural gas flowing so quickly? Are those countries are not depenent on the raw material exports? Really?

  • Jim Rogers on China [View article]
    OK. I read the book, quite soon afther it was published.. Great book, better than just a sellin pitch. if you followed those investment ideas - have you made a buck at least? No of course. I'm never. Thouse stock ideas could have relative values vs Western stocks, but... If you need an independent source about Asia, better look for Dr. Marc Faber - because he is sceptical... he said half year ago - ok, i'm bearish about USD as well as everybody - it seems that contrarian move is to be long in USD.

  • Jim Rogers on China [View article]
    I am big fun of Jim Rogers by myself. But if he talks about China or commodities - sry fellows - but he has indices on those markets and funds & structurated produucts behind him.

  • It's a Bull Market in Government Intervention [View article]
    I still don't get it - everybody is talking about using taxpayers money. But US gets already less taxes than are they spending - the missing money is created by issuing treasury bills, notes & bonds. I have not heard about rising economic activities or rising tax rates in US. So what realy means the words using taxpayers money is issuing treasury papers (borrowing more from China, Japan, Russia, Gulf states, etc) for someone who wants the stuff. Or is just print the money.

  • The Top 5 Looming Financial Issues  [View article]
    Issue #5: The estimated asset write-downs resulting from the 2007-2008 credit crisis. The International Monetary Fund has estimated this to be $1.1 trillion.

    Worst case scenario is probably another $1 to $1.5 trillion, corresponding to defaults on 20% to 30% of home mortgages.

    Any ideas about the US & global banking sector reserves to absorb the US mortgage failure? Tier I perhaps?
