  1. Subsidized grain and rice....

    And according to the 2013 DOHA accord which mentions the goal of no subsidies.....would eliminate these exports....

    I see it, studyandtrade. Now I will be the first to tell you that I am no genius, not even close, but the writing is on the wall and there are many smart minds that would agree with you.. My best advise to you would be to not worry about getting people to believe. Position yourself wisely, be patient, and the money will come. Don't let a slight January market rally confuse you. Get short and get paid!!!!!

    US Companies with operations abroad continue to make money. Why do you think the corrupt politicians are doing everything to get them to repatriate those earnings back to the US?
    Jobs were lost abroad due to NAFTA which was the brain child of Clinton during his time. Too late to whine and cry now for the liberal labor unions----Ross Perot saw the jobs going abroad. I saw it myself but, everyone did not care until now!!! LOL
    Still, I do not understand all the whining. If you are an investor----you put your money where you feel the next big thing is coming like real estate, gold, oil, etc.
    That is where my focus is. All this whining is not going to put money in your pockets!!!

  7. Sharkbites,

    1. The War in Iraq

    2. Needless pork project, ie Mary Landrow in LA wanting an alligator research lab wrapped into New Orleans reconst. project

    3. Building 40 mil fighter planes

    Not trying be socialist by any means, but some of that money spent on stuff above could be used for crumbling bridges and roadways.

  8. Hope you take all your capital to the markets with that idiotic reasoning cause Im sure others are more than willing to take it.

    Dollar has been bouncing from its lows a year ago after a 4 year downtrend which is nothing like the continuous run up of stocks from early 1990s with a quick dive in 1998 and then a blow off bubble in 2000. So before you make these analogies, get a clue. How do you know that it isnt the Euro that is way overvalued due to the fact that it is a new currency that could have just gotten hot just like junk bonds back in 1980s and traded above value just because ppl find it interesting & innovative.

    Im no currency trader, nor do I want or try to be but before I start screaming an end to USA, I look at the charts and they speak otherwise, for now. As long as the major global US based companies are doing their accounting in dollars, it aint going nowhere. Let the government go bankrupt, the big business lobbyists run this country anyway.
