Or depression. Of course, we know that. We were making a much, much broader point concerning the over-population of the planet and the challenges and problems it will bring.

Hahahahaha... seeing Penelope Cruz has cheered me up no end! Have a good weekend all.

I'll go for some of the former, as technology improves and delays the time when we pay the price for our excess, but ultimately I believe we humans will take things to the extreme, where natural disasters and mass starvation will force a cruel ...

You're very right, friend. There are clear warnings from history. At the very least, the deteriorating economic climate will cause great instability in many countries, particularly those in the emerging markets.

That's just plain nasty to look at.... And beyond that chart there is so much individual suffering.

It's like watching someone die a slow and painful death by a thousand cuts. There has been no carthartic sell-off either - when panic selling engulfs the market - only a slow but steady grind lower. This is a very bearish sign for stocks.

Great thread, EO. Cool to see many of the Cable thread "old boys" posting, the likes of Shilva, Turtle, Cisco and, of course, Infinity. I will pop in and silently lurk from time to time, occasionally adding some value, if I can. I see it's a ...

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

Spent many years working for an investment bank, so received continuous training on macroeconomics matters, through being surrounded by some very able individuals. It is not essential to have an in-depth knowledge of fundamentals to succeed. ...

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

I think the UK has no choice but to print money, via QE measures. They are starting with a relatively small amount, when one compares it to the sharp contraction in credit to the economy. Essentially, it is an attempt to partially mitigate the ...
