Unfortunately, that Trible Bernanke is in the shields array, doing his best to expose Enterprise to the Greekons and the evil Euroradation. ---------- "Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes it's laws" ~~Mayer Amschel Bauer Rothschild~~ Benjamin Bernanke For-profit commercial banks are a menace and should be eradicated 2012-02-03 18:35:44 Permalink

Flappingeagle Posts: 1229 Incept: 2011-04-14	"Raise Shields" that's the best investment advice I've heard in a couple of years. Of course the way you "raise shields" is to get all of your money out of every account, don't play their game.

Swarf_maker Posts: 124 Incept: 2008-10-18 Ottawa, Ontario, Canada	Raise shields! That might be necessary but not sufficient. I am beginning to think that investing in lead and brass may be necessary. In the course of trying to understand how things got to this state, I have recently been reading a few books that I would recommend highly. Griftopia: Bubble Machines, Vampire Squids, and the Long Con That Is Breaking America by Matt Taibbi ISBN: 978-0-835-52997-6 Taibbi provides insight into the fraud and corruption in the financial industry and the legislators who enabled it. 13 Bankers: The Wall Street Takeover and the Next Financial Meltdown by Simon Johnson and James Kwak ISBN-13: 978-0307476609 Johnson and Kwak put the situation into a global and historical context without (as far as I have read to date) getting into the fraudulent aspects. Particularly interesting is how deregulation evolved and its consequences. The Crash Course: The Unsustainable Future Of Our Economy, Energy, And Environment by Chris Martenson ISBN-13: 978-0470927649 Our population, monetary system, and resources requirements all are described by exponential functions. As Karl has repeatedly pointed out, in the real world, exponential functions cannot grow without limit. Martenson predicts that the limits will be encountered in many areas over the next twenty years. This is required reading for everyone. If you read only one book this year, this should be the one! Karl's book is next on the my list. ---------- "Eternal vigilance by the people is the price of liberty." Andrew Jackson 2012-02-04 12:19:07 Permalink
