We Should Be Fighting a Trade War with China, Not Mexico

Billy Gee: I obviously did not conduct a nationwide study to determine that socks would cost $10.00000000 instead of $2.00000000000 if we started a trade war with China. Try understanding the point behind the hypothetical numbers.

We Should Be Fighting a Trade War with China, Not Mexico

They could be made in Mexico, but it would cost more and hurt Nordstrom's/Target's/w... profit margin. Or it the price increase would pass along to US consumers. How do I know it would cost more to manufacture in Mexico? Assuming Nordstrom/Target knows how to do business and assuming markets are efficient, the mere fact that they are being produced in China means it is cheaper for them to be manufactured there.

Which Is Worse: Buying Solar Panels from Eurasia or Oil from OPEC?

Obviously it is better for Asia to make them. We pay less for solar panels made in Asia. It's not like any one country will have a monopoly on this. Solar panel production capacity is a manufacturing issue and is not like oil -- a natural resource which you either have or you don't.

We Should Be Fighting a Trade War with China, Not Mexico

You want to start a trade war with China? Smart move. I'm sure in this time of economic crisis Americans want to pay $10 dollars for a pair of socks instead of $2. $150 for a pair of shoes instead of $75.

Li-ion Batteries: A Speculative Field of Dreams

I like your comments Realist2. If the US government had to do extensive, real world tests before deploying money to develop technology, we would have never developed the atomic bomb or gone to the moon.

Marc Faber, Jim Rogers and Boone Pickens - Bullish on Oil

I don't get this contango and rolling thing. If I want to go long on oil at the curren price, and my time horizon is 3 years, what should I invest in if not USO and if I don't want to risk investing in individual oil companies? Will he USO not properly track crude's price when it starts to go back up eventually? Thanks!

Hong Kong's 8% Mantra

"I think that the implications of less than 8% growth are too scary to contemplate for most Chinese."
