Understanding History

The stock markets, as well as gold an silver prices, are rising because trillions of dollars have nowhere else to go. With bond markets paying near zero percent interest and real estate prices failing, cash needs to find a home somewhere. If a currency stands still, as it does in a bank or retirement account, it loses purchasing power due to inflation, which generally outpaces the small returns those accounts provide. It is financial suicide to be saving money at nearly zero percent interest when the Fed and the Treasury are printing trillions of dollars. The reason for zero percent interest rates is to force people into riskier investments such as the stock market. As the Fed prints money, gold and silver will continue to climb in price as the dollar drops in value. Poor savers. This is what happens when people have no financial education. Understanding history allows you to see and prepare for the future. For millions, the future is very dark, and for others, this transfer of wealth

你的決定毀了誰?

你要把手中關鍵的一票投給其中一位領袖。你的選擇會是: 甲:他與一些不誠實政客來往,搞婚外情、酗酒、抽煙; 乙:他有兩次被解雇記錄,酗酒、曾吸食鴉片; 丙:他是受勳的戰爭英雄、素食主義者,不搞婚外情,不抽煙,偶爾喝一點啤酒。 -------------------------- 結果如下: 領袖甲:二戰時期美國總統羅斯福; 領袖乙:二戰時期英國首相邱吉爾; 領袖丙:德國納粹領袖希特勒。 測驗結論是:勿以既定的價值觀思考事務。 的確,很多時候,我們單憑眼前所見而做出誤判。 事情,從不同角度、不同層面、不同價值觀去看,會得出不一樣的結果。但關乎對錯,往往取決於一個社會規範包含的法律及倫理道德。 在哪裡犯錯,就該在哪裡贖罪。

经济增长提高可吸收流通货币

如果政府将资金用在生产领域及去除经济增长瓶颈(bottleneck)领域,就不会出现通膨压力,因此只要经济增长提高,就可吸收市场上流通的货币。 另外,在税收也会增加下,政府可以利用这些钱偿还负债,这样就无须通过“通货膨胀税”来偿还政府负债。 举例,1998 至 2002 年东亚金融危机爆发时,中国面临通缩压力,促使该国政府连续 5 年推行放松货币和财政扶持政策,不仅让政府负债从占经济成长 3% 提高到 36%,货币供给也大量增加。 不过,直到危机过去,也没有出现通货膨胀压力。这是因为这些资金被用于扩充中国经济的社会基础设施。 因此,只要对症下药,就能让整体经济维持稳定增长。 相关 : 1907 年银行危机 什么时候开始抽水捞鱼却只有几个最大的银行寡头知道,当一个国家建立了私有的中央银行制度以后,银行寡头对放水抽水的控制就更加得心应手,收获也就越加精确。经济发展与衰退,财富积累与蒸发都成为银行家“科学饲养”的必然结果。

The End of An Empire

The dollar is losing its power as the reserve currency of the world. In other words, the American empire of debt is coming to an end. ------------------------- Financial Times, September 22,2009 "After months of threats, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has decided to replace the dollar with the euro in its oil stabilization fund. He did so under recommendation by the funds directors." Brazil recently agreed to trade with China in yuan, not dollars. This is one more nail in the coffin of the US dollar. ------------------------- Just as a bank will ultimately cut your line of credit, the world is beginning to cut its line of credit to the US. The world understands what President Obama means when he says, "Quantitative easing." Quantitative easing is government jargon for printing money. The words "quantitative easing" may fool unsophisticated people, but people with financial knowledge know what is going on. Smart people know that cash is trash. If the US keep

Income gap widens as poor take hit in recession

Census: Income falls for all groups, but those at bottom feel worst effect The recession has hit middle-income and poor families hardest, widening the economic gap between the richest and poorest Americans as rippling job layoffs ravaged household budgets. The wealthiest 10 percent of Americans — those making more than $138,000 each year — earned 11.4 times the roughly $12,000 made by those living near or below the poverty line in 2008, according to newly released census figures. Unemployment hurts normal workers who do not have the golden parachutes the folks at the top have. They said while the richest Americans may be seeing reductions in executive pay, those at the bottom of the income ladder are often unemployed and struggling to get by. Income at the top 5 percent of households — those making $180,000 or more — was 3.58 times the median income, the highest since 2006. The 2008 figures come from the Current Population Survey and the American Community Survey, which gathers informa

Federal spending

As consumers closed their wallets, Uncle Sam opened his with one of the biggest spending programs in history, roughly $1.5 trillion in less than a year. Some $700 billion went to shore up shaky banks; another $787 billion paid for tax cuts and a surge in spending on new roads, green technology and a host of other projects designed to pump dollars into a shrinking economy. A separate alphabet soup of money transfers from the Federal Reserve added another $1 trillion, much of it to guarantee loans and buy up bad investments from banks that couldn’t sell them, freeing up cash for them to lend. The strategy seems to have worked, and much of the planned direct government spending is still in the pipeline. The hope is all that federal spending gets the gears of the economy turning again with enough momentum that as the federal spending spigot starts to slow down, other sectors of the economy will take up the slack. But that plan comes with potential pitfalls. At some point, the Federal Reser
