>"Until we stop printing money in the U.S., or they start, the wind is at the back of the euro."
I thought the ECB already was? I guess not. I thought everyone was now printing money. Suicide run, either way, I guess. European goods are going to get too expensive for Americans to buy, and their currency will benefit at the cost of their economies.

Scotland. It promotes a book about Scotland. There. I sacrificed myself before any of you had a chance to out yourselves too:)
But I still think a big white page with a scroll bar and a "....move along" message at the bottom, would have made me at least giggle.

ok, we bought more today @ $1400 and it is around $1415 now, so who knows, maybe we were lucky. It may get crushed again, but a few years from now I think it will be a wise decision. Gold and Buffet. That's our big hedge. But that's pretty much where we are right now, with stuff that changes around every now and then. Out of other stocks and bonds a long time ago.

 I have to admit I'm only about 1/4 of the way through, but I really like my little paper one, so far. If you were going to go backpacking, and it was your first big trip, it would be worth it's weight. If you spend time outside, on the other hand, I think you would know pretty much 75% of this stuff, so it's more of curiosity, than anything else. For example, how to handle seal meat - I found that interesting. I have no experience with seals, and it's hard to imagine being in a situation where I need to eat one:) But hey, you never know, right? #alwaysprepared

Why We Are Here / Economics & Investing / Europe's Scariest Chart Goes Parabolic

 All four of the other PIIGS nations now have broken the dismal Maginot Line of 40% youth unemployment with Italy finally joining the club (Italy 40.5%, Portugal 42.5%, Spain 58.2%, and Greece 62.5%). What is even more concerning is that not only are these rates extremely high but they are accelerating with all four of these dark nations seeing their rates rising faster than in recent months (this was the 2nd fastest rise in Greek youth unemployment ever). Overall, Europe's youth unemployment rate continues to march higher (to 24.4%) having not fallen for 24 months, but it is Spain that is the 'winner' with 41 consecutive months without a drop in youth unemployment. With welfare benefits running dry [8], and Sweden and Switzerland already running hot, we fear this summer may bring the much-feared unrest so many have been concerned about - http://www.zerohedge.com/print/474662 |

It was like when Altoids first came out and I saw on the package, 'curiously strong'... I thought that was the most brilliant and compelling marketing copy ever.

Well, I tore my rotator cuff about 6 months ago, so I sent my bike up North, so my old man could at least ride it during the (brief) summer up in PA, so I've been pretty well grounded down here sidelined.
I did happen to see this, and even though the music is tacky, well, if I had flames coming out of my bike, well, that'd just be badass...
