lawrocket 3 #52 December 14, 2011 Quoteafter pearl harbour many japanese and their kids were placed in camps. should they have refused? I keep answering your questions but you don't answer mine. What FDR did the Japanese was a travesty and an absolute violation of their rights. Refusal meant death. Which, of course, is what tends to happen in systems where individuals must yield to society. And where they are called Japs and 1 percenters instead of people. It just makes it that much easier to villainize and victimize them. My wife is hotter than your wife.

It would enable advice to be issued - keep a safe distance from Bear Stearns, sub-prime mortgages and Icelandic banks. And it would enable "what-if?" simulations to be run - if UK bank Northern Rock is the first domino, what will be the next?

SkyDekker 1,465 #59 December 14, 2011 QuoteMortgage derivatives were great till people stopped paying mortgages. I disagree. Mortgage derivatives caused the creation of mortgages destined to fail. In my humble opinion the problem resides with exotic derivatives that are not regulated and more importantly that people do not know how to value the derivative. Credit default swaps and other mortgage derivatives created an artificial market for mortgages. Didn't matter what the underlying basics where, or if the mortgages were in any way solid. The derivates market is largely unregulated and cannot be independently valued. Trading in entities you do not understand is never a good idea, yet it happens in the trillions of dollars. It is pure gambling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dreamdancer 0 #62 December 14, 2011 bit of 'real' economics... QuoteThe ultimatum game is a game often played in economic experiments in which two players interact to decide how to divide a sum of money that is given to them. The first player proposes how to divide the sum between the two players, and the second player can either accept or reject this proposal. If the second player rejects, neither player receives anything. If the second player accepts, the money is split according to the proposal. The game is played only once so that reciprocation is not an issue. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimatum_gamestay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #63 December 14, 2011 Quotenope, i've called 'economics' a pseudo science. not like physics is it? or maths? How the hell are you going to forecast it, then? The burden is on you. How will it be forecast? How will it be accurate? What's the point of a forecast that is no more accurate than a Magic 8 ball? My wife is hotter than your wife.
