Re: Financial topics

Not sure where to put this so move as you see fit John, but it is financial in nature and this is the most active thread: http://www.wnd.com/2012/05/massive-fraud-ignored-until-this-happened More than convincing proof of criminal banking on an institional level not only going un-procecuted/investiga...

Re: 21-Feb-12 WV-Tumultuous all-night Greek bailout meeting

I've discussed this at very great length in the book draft that I've written, and if you have half an hour or so, you may wish to read it. http://generationaldynamics.com/gx113 I've tried to distinguish between Gen-Xers and the "Gen-X culture." It's quite possible that are as many (or as few) crook...

Re: 21-Feb-12 WV-Tumultuous all-night Greek bailout meeting

Your excellent article of "The Legacy of World War I and the Holocaust" reminded me of some questions about where exactly we are on the Generational timeline. Are we still in the 3rd Turning or have we made it to the Crisis 4th Turning. According to S&H the generations should line up thus in the 4th...

http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/17324418/1935719323/name/5.9.11_DOW_FORECAST_Rev_B.pdf I'm also picking up dates in this zone. May to July 2013 preliminary. Interesting... I arrived at a mid-2013 in that range as well simply by looking at a 15 year DOW chart (1996-Present) where a massive 6000 pt Head...

Re: 7-Jun-11 News -- BIS: high US exposure to European defau

John I don't know anyone who is cheering for defaults. But as you say the defaults are inevitable. Throwing another 100 billion euros at Greece is just more money down the rat hole. If anyone world welcome a default, it's simply to stop the bleeding. Truly the money is already gone. The banks would ...

Re: 21-Mar-11 News -- March 15 reconciliation movement vs Ha

... However, a Boomer may hold the Gen-X world view, and vice-versa, depending on the attitudes of their parents, and other environmental factors. That's also true of politicians, so it's not surprising that some Democratic leaders are Boomers, and some Republican leaders are Gen-Xers. However, I b...

Re: 21-Mar-11 News -- March 15 reconciliation movement vs Ha

John, I'd like to take issue with your characterization that the GOP represents the Silent/Boomer generational views while the Democrats are the Gen-Xers. Maybe you have been watching CNN too much which continually tries to paint the Tea Party movement with an older backward looking generation. The ...

Re: Inflation, deflation, gold and currencies

Ya, I saw that. It is strange to me that Hendry thinks gold will do well and also thinks you would have trouble holding onto a hyperinflation type investment. To me gold and silver are the natural hyperinflation type investments. I see no trouble holding on to these. The closer the hyperinflation g...

Re: Inflation, deflation, gold and currencies

Along with John, two other deflationists that I highly respect are Hugh Hendry and Mish. Hendry is now saying that hyperinflation is the endgame, but there will be a few twists and turns to go still. Mish is saying, "In general, I side with Hendry.". This puts at least Hendry, and maybe Mish, rathe...
