Hopefully, I could sell some stocks for profit, by the end of the year. Pay down all my debts. I would hate for next year, to hold debt.

I like this show a lot better than the Russia Today one! The other one's more for a corporate media audience, it seems.

How about a savers strike, sorry but you are not having my money for 1%.

[rtardbox]

the Fed pulls all the strings.

Obama = Bush with a tan

both socialist puppets of their true tri-lateral masters

[dlmaniac]

Obama = fool dancing on the strings held by Wall St.

[tenagliac]

Oh I get it. The low interest rate increases demand for debt. So speculators use all the cheap credit to pump wallstreet, at the same time starving credit to the middle class for mortgages. The Fed tries to compensate by printing more monopoly money because no one wants to save when interest is 0.2% and inflation is 7%. But the low interest makes it easier to invest because you don't have as much interest to recover to pay off the loan. None on bailouts ? right ?

We are definitely in a deflation period right now. I go to the store and everything is marked down 50% but of course that means lower margins for the store owner which means more layoffs... Soon we'll see massive inflation because of monetization/money printing but that's only helping the BANKSTERS and eventually with a jobless, broke, America that has to pay $20 for a loaf bread we'll have the worst scenario: STAGFLATION!!!!! One word: REVOLUTION!!!!!!

[ianjames67]

but isnt the money that they are creating just a way to make up for all the money that disappeared with all of the falling asset values?

[Eraser7622]

Money doesn't disappear due to falling asset prices. PERCEPTION of value disappears which results in falling asset prices. Think about it.. if Asset X is a true, tangible, productive asset and is yesterday valued at 100 dollars and today has an asset price of 80 dollars, ignoring depreciation, who lost the difference? The owner of the asset, of course. However, did that money disappear? No! That difference is now SAVED by the next buyer. In the past, this was made up for with credit.

[DickGhostmoon]

how can you expect speculation to decrease when the government makes everyone speculate just to beat inflation? 0% interest rates create speculators. if you don't speculate, you're going to lose a lot of wealth.
