Bernanke sucks even worse than I thought

December 13, 2007

Last Wednesday, I gave my call for monetary policy in the US and Eurozone
The Fed SHOULD hold rates, but I’ve lost all faith in the fed and they are just puppets for Wall Street.
My call:
ECB holds at 4%

Still talking about subprime

December 4, 2007

Occasionally, I like to poke my nose in and see what my old comrades are up to over on NP. It seems the infamous thread is still alive and kicking.
However, it appears they are still talking about subprime. When are they going to realize that subprime was merely the first symptom of a massive global [...]

The new corporate trend: “onshoring”

December 4, 2007

Ha! What did I tell you? It is wayyy past my bedtime and I should be sleeping (especially since I’m sick and feel like I’ve been run over by a truck), but just stumbled on an interesting article from one of my favorite economic development blogs: Design Nine. He points to an article in the [...]
