You are right but which country or countries would volunteer to have the strong currencies. Only countries with no indutrial base and high natrural resources do benefit with such formulas but then they have to trade in the own currency and that curreny and there has be a reliable currency and massive amount it available for trade.

The producers like China seek to excape currency superiority top improve their sales while expecting to invest their profits in a currency that is superior to their own for additional gains. To do this, currency manipulation is the name of the game but there is no fundamental way of solving such a problem.

The only worldwide solution for currency manipulation is a reference commodity index where currencies can be traded against but it wont solve the fundamental demands of some producers like China to have a inflation protection and secondary profit in currency trading. They are going to import inflation one way or another or we will see a collapse every 5 years and the cost of collapse is paid by different players.]]> Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:11:21 -0500

The speculation in housing market was so wild that American banks were still holding on to massively more toxic assets that they could dump on public accounts. BAC has been subsidized to neutralize its losses so it is very possible that it is playing games to extract more cash the public by extracting more cash through tax cuts by claiming ownership of the same toxic assets.

These bank will never stop extracting cash from public through predatory mortgage lending business . Americans are better off cutting their losses now and remove publicly subsidized mortgage business from private banking forever because the business is funded through interest rates funded by public that are sold back to them with a hefty cost.]]> Sun, 08 Nov 2009 09:12:50 -0500

- have passed their losses to the public
- they have traded against worthless leverage assets that they have dumped on the public
- they have received a subsidy from public to prevent their collapse and in return they have rewarded their executives with bonuses

And now they want to extract more cash from public through :
- further tax subsidy and taking those collapsed assets
- To either sell them again back to the public through the back door or hold on to these assets and jack them up and profit from them.

It is obvious that privatizing Fannie and Freddy has been very costly for American public. There is no way that public ownership of mortgage business would have cost the American public this much losses over and over.

The mortgage vending that is virtually subsidized by the public should be removed from private banking because they use this business to dump their losses on public using multiple paths.]]> Sun, 08 Nov 2009 08:56:22 -0500

Only when the industries and financial markets are going to take advantage of cheap money by hiring people will the unemployment trends reverse themselves.

Given that making money has become function of flipping assets and handing the losses to the population rather than industrial output, the unemployment will not respond to cheap money. Why would industries invest money in industrial output when they can extract massive amount of easy cash from the government by just investing!]]> Thu, 29 Oct 2009 14:30:40 -0400

The operational brake up is what is material and not the size. The financial companies should be able to spawn their various operations easily and that will actually create more transparency as sell.

And not just banks, financial arm of an Engineering company or auto company should be listed in the markets with a different symbol for example and be insulated. And yet big companies can grow bigger with this style of growth by adding growth of same components with similar risks with less of ability to hide risk under their carpets.]]> Thu, 29 Oct 2009 11:19:59 -0400

A single bank should have multiple listing in the stock market with operations that are insulated from each other with no intermixing of risk types or racketeering.

Either the banks behind the scene would racketeer and collude to buy the failed banks to keep themselves afloat or given lack of sufficient capital in total and they would force the government to subsidize them by showing the results of the first collapse.

Those assets sold during collapse of the markets at lower valuations became assets were sold by the public and bought up by the financial markets who sold at higher prices to make a profit. It is the public assets that got raided because of the collapse.

We have a case here where finanancial institutions are selling and buying public assets with public money and they use leverage to increase their take in any directions that the winds take them. The other side of their trades are public assets and pensions that they can raid. The speculative highly leveraged markets provide the means to bubble up and then collapse the markets on a whim.

The public assets have become subjected to gambling house evaluations through excessive use of levering as the source of funding for a gambling industry that extracts cash from it.

Upon miscalculating and losing their game the governments have no choice but to fund their game all over again because they have public assets as their hostages.

Financial money game has become a very profitable business as the risk is shed to the public and profits are extracted through sphisticated computer programming that trade these assets.

Both the financial industry and the governments are very aware of that scamming the public has become a big in financial industry but public is prevented from regulating it through vast amount of propaganda that is propagated by those that profit by these schemes.

If you are curious about depression, you can elect Ron Paul and experience it all over again. Just make sure he is in charge while the banking system is collapsing. Unfortunately you failed to see him in action eating his words so he can sell his theology in a book. It doesn't appear that he understand economics and why these institutions became necessary as regulators.

The fact is that printing money is a last resort solution in a box of many tools but never the less a solution when nothing else works. Federal reserve is a regulator of the last resort and it plays an important role and Americans need more regulation rather than less, specially now.]]> Sun, 04 Oct 2009 20:16:33 -0400

All the actors in this case were in fact Republicans and they are all anti-socialists and pro capitalists. They did let GM fail and they blasted at them for having high wages and yet they let Capitalists with much higher wages survive obviously ( letting a token Lehman fail) but also because they would have taken the whole population with them just like Finland.

Those in town halls that are working against the health care reform are not doing so because of the costs, they do so because it is their profits that it is at stake here. This movements has sprung up when street is fighting territorial war to maintain cash flow to it members and not when the population was being bamboozled by the street through most massive financial fraud in history .

I will say that it can be proven that the street is behind these movements because they are the voice of the movement just as this author is and they weren't speaking up as the street was complicit in causing the credit crisis for a decade instead the sought more deregulation. The double standard is not only a proof, it is the cause of poor health care plans that Americans are stuck with. ]]> Thu, 20 Aug 2009 09:54:35 -0400

Oil consuming nations seek to manipulate oil prices also and make it to be lower than actual worth by cooking the markets. The commodity markets, financial markets and stock markets are all heavily manipulated, through zero interest rates, printing cash, agricultural subsidies, futures markets dominated by big players who issue upgrade/downgrades while trading the markets instantly and so on. Of course there are players in the markets who seek manipulate the already manipulated markets and that is why in midst of 150$ oil, a market would rally and get overheated which is then followed by a crash.

To seek cheaper oil than the cost of extraction by manipulating the markets is not unusal and it has been promoted to boost the battered economies which have wasted vast amount oil using larger vehicles than are needed for transportation. ]]> Tue, 04 Aug 2009 10:27:59 -0400
