[Fibonacci Financial] Market Decision Dashboard - Quadrant Design Explained | Fibonacci ...: The Forex (inter bank currency trading) markets are currently the largest financial markets in the world as measured by shear transaction and monetary volume. This is the market where Euros, Japanese yen, Swiss francs, British pounds, and Australian, Canadian and American dollars are traded in currency pairs. While it lasts, this massive game of currency musical chairs is rich with opportunity for those with that aren’t adverse to high risk. As with its close cousin, the futures/commodity markets, the Forex market is populated by about 95% losers and only 5% winners. “Do you feel lucky punk?” For the most part, while the Forex has a place in the Market Decision Dashboard model at a theoretical level, it isn’t included as part of our actual asset allocation in our model portfolio. The Forex consititutes not an investment vehicle subject to portfolio allocation as much as a business opportunity for some individuals (who enjoy street fighting). While I must confess I find it incredibly exciting personally, it isn’t appropriate for most portfolios. There is an outside risk that this game of musical chairs may end with no chairs available to sit on when the music stops.

[The Becker-Posner Blog] The Becker-Posner Blog: On Milton Friedman's Ideas--BECKER: On whether one can have democracy without economic freedom, Friedman said, "I know of no example in time or place of a society that has been marked by a large measure of political freedom, and that has not also used something comparable to a free market to organize the bulk of economic activity." Sweden and other Scandinavian countries have been vibrant democracies, and yet governments in these countries tax away more than half the income. However, the majority of these taxes are transferred back to individuals in the form of retirement incomes, medical care, and in other ways.

[China perspectives] The Modification of the Chinese Exchange Rate Policy - China ...: Revaluation is automatically reducing the value of dollars assets held by commercial banks and the Central Bank, with the latter being the main loser given its net foreign assets of US$750 billion. Additional destabilising effects on the financial sector may be expected if the revaluation is carried through a flexibilisation of the exchange rate, but this point is related to the exchange rate regime, and not to the revaluation itself (see below).
[The Baseline Scenario] Inflation Expectations for Beginners « The Baseline Scenario: Bernanke has announced that he has plans to handle this scenario, via open market operations, increases in the Federal funds rate, and increasing bank reserve requirements to destroy money faster than it can be shoveled into the system from under mattresses, i.e., pretty much all the tools the Fed has used in reverse to create the money in the first place. The problem is, these take *time*, and if people start shoveling money from those dump trucks into the marketplace to buy stuff because they think inflation is on the way, inflation *will* be on the way.
[Mises Economics Blog] Trade Deficits and Fiat Currencies - Mises Economics Blog: Either way, the US government won't be able to fund its operations, which will require the Fed to step in and buy Treasuries to make up the difference. The resulting inflation will drive up interest rates, hastening the housing collapse, which will in turn hasten the economy's collapse, since the borrowing-based consumption that keeps the economy afloat will have lost it line of credit.
