rayok Posted July 10, 2003 Report Share Posted July 10, 2003 Glad I don't work for GM or State of Illinois. Riverboating on Margin, as usual. ............................................ PENSION FUNDS USE MARGIN LOANS TO BOOST RETURNS With that money in hand, the challenge is figuring out how to divide it up among investments to have better chances of locking in solid returns. "You have to make a choice in your investments. Do you think the future looks like the last three years or the last 20 years?" Struve said. I think the future looks like 66 to 82, if they're lucky.

Hypertiger Posted July 10, 2003 Report Share Posted July 10, 2003 See the chart? It's called doomsday...almost... or what an interest rate trap looks like. The blue is federal funds and I use consumer credit because it is very sensitive to debt problems... you can see from the peak that interest rates have been systematically lowered ever since for one purpose...Debt inflation... Al is printing money...Bullshit If you were to decide to buy a house tomorrow who signs on the dotted line? You or Alan Greenspan? When you are buying and selling stock, is Al clicking the mouse? How about your paycheck? Does your boss sign at the bottom or does Alan? All the FED does is create debt...that is it... for the Banks and Government... It is the Consumers job to sign on the dotted line to pay it back...Interest and Taxes are the same thing... One you agree to, the other is imposed on you... It is "you" ultimately that is responsible for inflating the money supply which is composed of debt... When you sign on the dotted line for a $200,000 mortgage it is "you" that is inflating the money supply by $200,000 not Alan Greenspan... But The FED can entice you by lowering it's interest rate...The lower it goes the more you will be enticed especially if you see a close moron friend of yours doing it and and telling you how much fun it is and how easy it is to sign on the dotted line... The catch... More new debt must be created to pay for the previously created debt or the system collapses...100% everytime, if you don't think so you are a pitiful simpleminded moron or brainwashed or just Duh... What happens when rates are lowered as low as they can go and the volume of debt created is lower then the previous volume? collapse duh! Why? cascading defaults... now banks have the market cornered on debt which means if they can't lower rates to produce volume then the next step is to raise rates to make up the difference in income from the dropping volume... The basic plan is for a world bank and a single currency and the only way the consumers will go for it is when the current system collapses and they cry like babies for it... resisters will be rounded up and exicuted. Do you want the system to collapse? If you don't you better start borrowing like you never borrowed before... Fools that won't save you...You are hopelessly doomed and don't know it or care...Because you were finished the day you were born... If the mortgage bubble blows your done...cooked. It is as simple as that...Gameoverville, thanks for showing up to planet Earth. I don't want to hear about Japan either... "But look at Japan Hyper, they survived..." They will be wiped out too when the Real estate scam in the US blows... Everyone will. The whole world will face plant There is nothing that can be done... It is already over...unless you die or get abducted by aliens there is no escape. Once consumers (You) have consumed all the debt they can then the debt inflation which causes price inflation will end too... Except food and energy but they will eventually collapse in the end... 7-11 months and ticking...and to the non believers? It doesn't matter if you don't believe that the future will show up...because it will and it always does...like clockwork... Think positive all you want...That don't pay the bills at the end of the day. My new stratagy to survive? Just before the elevator hits the basement, I'll jump... hahahahahaha...

Guest AssMaster Posted July 10, 2003 Report Share Posted July 10, 2003 Wndysrf - have a safe trip. You are a good friend. Yesterday's WSJ had an article explaining how counterfeiting is a big problem in China. The counterfeiting was incidental since the story was really about reverse engineering of communications hardware and infiltrating distribution channels. The article explained how Cisco and Motorola products are knocked off in China through a combination of reverse engineering, equipment vendor leakage, and proprietary manufacturing leakage from their plants in China. This much is easy to understand and was guaranteed to occur. What was surprising, and not well substantiated, was that these Chinese knock-offs, after branding, are leaking into the world market through gangster-controlled distribution channels in Latin America. If Cisco and Moto have lost control of their distribution channel, they won't be growing anytime soon. Cisco was at the top of a lucrative Amway-style distribution pyramid. Handsets and routers didn't even have as long a run as TVs and radios for US manufacturers! This is an excellent point. Since Asia has no seemingly regard for intellectual property, why would anyone outsource their manufacturing and especially their software development to China? It's guaranteed that your product and code will be ripped off. It will come back to haunt the managers who did this, but long after they have made a getaway and sold their stock for a fat profit.

Guest Posted July 10, 2003 Report Share Posted July 10, 2003 The Federal Reserve said consumer credit outstanding increased by a larger-than-expected $7.3 billion in May. Wall Street anal cysts had expected a smaller gain of about $5.0 billion in May And the hole keeps getting deeper. Hyper's dooms day predictions keep getting closer. http://www.usatoday.com/money/economy/fed/...08-credit_x.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
