Financial Markets Collapsing

[Hu$tle]

Good point.

They've got alot to lose from this as well.

Dont know how 'historied' up you are but do you remember back in the 80's when the Saudi's tried to cut production when the price was low in order to try and corner the market but it had little effect and they were buried as a result??

Same thing here only this time they have around $700bn in reserves so can keep this going for quite some time.

Ideally though they'd want the price to be around US$85 a barrel to be profitable but they really must want a larger slice of the global pie now...

I do remember ... Use to be a Institutional bond trader...that was real action...being long/short $ 100 million 2-yr notes,5 min. before non-farm payroll came out!! Loved the job,but commuting 2 hrs. each way...no fun. You seem to know much...were/are you working in the markets?

Good points AC... BUT The Saudis own massive amounts of our Country's debt,that making our banking system vulnerable,is counter productive to them.

Good point.

We could very well still be in a zero interest rate environment, for another 3-6 years.

That is a big problem in our country.If rich or poor,one can get into a good college......but if one is middle class,it's a very big problem.Something has to be done,to get into a so-so college,it's will cost you a min. of $ 40,000 per year!!

who the fukk goes to KFC????

[brooks85]

I almost went today but don't want to go until right after lunch, I want it fresh but that new nashville hot chicken is supposed to be good. Seeing how I'm not going to drive 8 hours to Nashville, TN KFC is worth a try.

Premium gas here below $2 /gal. This is all just a little adjustment.
