China vs. the U.S.- Who Will Blink First?

Brilliant article and yes, SS is a ponzi scheme.

Trade Deficit with China Continues to Expand: Why?

God Howard, you are like a cool breeze blowing thru a porto-potty on a hot summer day.

Asia: The Mother of All Incumbent Advantages

David, a very fine and truthfull article. I have lived long enough to see giants returning from Europe after defeating Hitler, and turning this country in the best promise the world has ever known. As I enter into the sunset of my life I see that great hope cast into the trash heap and this land turned over to a gaggle of deadbeats, educated on MTV etc, who only want to grab as much for themselves as they can before the ship sinks.

What China Gains from Bailing Out Hummer

Sir, your article is right on. While the bunch of cabbages who presently are inshrined in the seats of power of the United States dream of turning this country into a carbon copy of the Old Soviet Union and enslaving this nation's childern and their future in a sea of unpayable debt, the clever Chinese are doing all the right things. As a child who was born during WW11 and grew up walking among men who were heroic giants, It is all I can do to keep my sanity in a day when people think they can have everything they want without having to work for it, by simply electing the right people to public office.

Global Currency Trial Balloons: Bad News for the Dollar?

It's much later than most think. America has been asleep at the wheel for sixteen years and now the American people have turned this once great land over to the dregs of society. While this country snoozes in a great cocaine haze, the "oh so clever" little marxists in Washington are working at breakneck speed to distroy the capitalist system and everything that has made this country strong. The future belongs to those who can change their world view and learn to look at the international big picture.

How Low Can Global Economies Go?

altaman, Damn I'm impressed. I didn't know that there were any real thinking men with backbones left in America.

SPEs: The Next Financial Crisis Buzz Word

I would like to say something intelligent in response to your fine article but you have pretty well covered the subject. The only reason anyone is buying U.S. treasuries is that most of the world's governments and their currencies are more screwed up than our own.

Dollar Denominated Assets: Get Out Now

Debra, You're as smart as you are beautiful. I look forward to more of your wisdom.

Distortions in the Chinese Lending Environment

So you like Lewis Carroll and P.G. Wodehouse? Good, at least there is some stirring of intelligent life still left in this Mad Max Universe we find ourselves in.

China Nearly Doubles Gold Reserves

The clever chinese have finally figured out that the fiat American Dollar is worthless as a stow of wealth .

China Takes Over the World

China has a government run by a group of pragmatic capitalists who seek wealth creation and are willing to adopt any credo to acheive it. The United States is a country that has given in to the screams and demands of the howling mob and is now run by idiological criminals that are only interested in grabbing power over the lives of its citizens. History has proven that countries that work hand in hand with Natural law (Capitalism/ Free Enterprise) rise to the top of the economic ladder while countries who think that the human ego and central planning can create wealth always fail with their latest version of the "Five Year Plan".

Invest in BIC, Not BRIC

It does make sense to drop Russia because it is a country where capital operates without the protection of law. The gang of Thugs who run the place could take your money at a moments notice and nothing could be done.

Cramer's Mad Money - A New Cycle (4/20/09)

Cramer says, blah blah blah. Why do you insist on repeating what Cramer says. No serious investor pays any attention to Jim Cramer. Do you work for this guy, don't you realize that you only demean your own reputation by doing this?

How Will the U.S. Stress Tests Impact Asia?

The doctors have conferred and there is no perceived brain wave activity from the Congress /Fed/ Obama Cabal. It's time to turn off the life support machines and let this ugly monster die a well deserved death.

Emerging Markets Show Mature Markets Their Heels

I think you are correct in your thinking. In the U.S. we have now decided that it is more prudent to freeze the size of the pie and share the wealth more equally as opposed to the idea of increasing the common wealth for everyone by making the pie bigger. Moving to Singapore is looking more attractive all the time.
