Somehow I suspect you are clueless about the reasons for birthrates or their trends in various countries. There is a good book on the subject but it is not a leisure read. "How Civilizations Die" by David Goldman, 2011. Your comment is just another ...

The internet has simply increased the speed and range of conspiracies. And again re history you should look into it. There have been a few events from way back in the last millennium that are noteworthy. The world did not start with your birth.

I figured that at $2000 / oz. all the gold in the US amounts to ~$1900 per person. World wide it figured out to ~$1700. Rare to the point of impracticality. For Newtonscash - I saw something else a few years back about London housing being so pricey ...

Interesting how conditions vary from US to England and elsewhere. When our Fed was established everyone had to turn in their gold at the previous price of $20.66. Then the price was raised to $35. No telling who will think it's a great idea to make ...

I'll agree with your name that bankers do suck. Not as bad as present politicians though. It's easy to rant against the Fed but they have performed incredibly well considering the out of control spending. Still don't buy the 2008 system collapse in ...

John Locke thought gold was bogus too. Yes, the price might go way up but it will be based on fear. The money supply has at least 4 trillion that can be quickly withdrawn and what is overseas has more difficulties before being returned. The gold ...

Gold was $35 when the Fed was established. Since then the dollar has lost 95% of its value. gold should now be at $35 x 20, $700. Everything beyond that is fear and the anachronistic thinking that gold is special among commodities.

Wasn't the Flash Crash supposed to be caused by an order for 10,000 or 100,000 futures contracts being entered as one order? Was this guy placing an order that humongous? Also I find it hard to believe he could gain any advantage in micro seconds ...

If the loans are specified as pay in dollars then the BIS point has merit. Likely a good portion would be open to negotiation for other form of payment. Perhaps gold being in a bubble. We should insist on dollars to return them home and then ...

Perhaps too much hand wringing is being done over Greece. How many other nations have defaulted before? A bunch and they are still on the map. Default might be the best thing for them. Clear a bunch of seriously bad debt off everyone's books and ...

The housing crash in 2008 was really just the bubble bursting. The 40% drop brought prices back to the long term trend line. Since then it has gone above the line again. Yea inflation!! Not everyone should be a homeowner. Cause was the too easy ...

US imports from China are only 3.4% of GDP. This was in an article some I read some months ago. 1.8% in direct and another 1.6% in parts for assembly. Total imports were 18% of GDP. So Chinese imports are ~1/6 of total imports but a much smaller ...
