Am I being too cynical?  holycow Member Username: holycow Post Number: 3593 Registered: 08-2004 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 Thursday, December 13, 2007 - 11:49 am:     To be cynical you have to be like ME, writing not less than 4 messages a day lambasting everything, anything, everyone and anyone... no, you are not cynical enough yet! ... but you will get there one day!

Don't know about the other CFD providers Sway  holycow Member Username: holycow Post Number: 3596 Registered: 08-2004 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 Thursday, December 13, 2007 - 04:51 pm:     http://tinyurl.com/298hy8 - Beijing lectures US on weak dollar Beijing turned the tables on the US on Wednesday after years of criticism from Washington of its handling of the Chinese economy, warning of the serious global implications of the weak dollar, recent US interest rate cuts and the subprime crisis. ... Chen Deming, the incoming commerce minister, said the falling dollar had pushed up the cost of imported resources and been a destabilising factor. “What I’m worrying about is the weakening dollar and its potential impact on global growth,” he said... *** and rightly so! The Japanese, the S.Korean had been arbitrarily keeping their currency low for eon and yet there's not a single fart coming from the USA on them and yet they have been raining sh*t on the Chinese. The Chinese are not competing directly with the Yanks in the world trade arena, so what's the gripes of the yanks here? On the contrary if the Chinese were to stop selling their cheap goods to them and stop buying their cheap peso, I reckon the US economy would have collapsed at least a year or two earlier. That is, if they can still remember Big Al's favourite BS a few years back on the US "strong" economy - productivity gains! What he didn't tell the Congress was this - productivity gain through cheap Chinese imports and printing abundant US$ as payment for these cheap productivity gains! ...anyway, it's all water under the bridge... but just exactly what's the US agenda here in being critical with the cheap Yuan? Politics!? Bah....! HC ... one day...!  holycow Member Username: holycow Post Number: 3598 Registered: 08-2004 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 Friday, December 14, 2007 - 07:55 am:     http://tinyurl.com/2tyoj2 - U.S. Nov. PPI up 3.2% -- largest growth since 1973 "Ugh," said John Ryding, chief U.S. economist for Bear Stearns, in reaction to the producer price index results. "This is a horrible inflation report. Our reading is that both import prices and producer prices point to significant inflation problems ahead." Wholesale energy prices rose 14.1% in November, beating the prior record growth of 13.4% in January 1990. Gasoline price growth also hit a record -- reaching 34.8% -- up from the prior record of 28.8% in April 1999. "This is the long anticipated flow through from high oil prices into the more general economy," said Michael Lynch, president and director of global petroleum service with Strategic Energy and Economic Research Inc. "I think we're going to see greater effects in the coming months. This is a black day for [Federal Reserve Chairman] Ben Bernanke." Thursday's data could support concern, Lynch said, that the U.S. economy will enter a period of stagflation -- a combination of slow economic growth, high unemployment and rising prices... *** hang on, didn't they said the CPI was negligible last month or so? Huh? This is unreal, something is wrong, someone forgot to exclude more oil related items, more food etc from the calculation... 3.2% and stagflation, can't happen! HC ... one day...!
