[Al-Gebra]

I am not worried.

chrysler firings don't have anything to do w the stock mkts dropping.  chrysler was taken pvt, & people knew this was coming. 

the dollar plummeting though . . . not so good for us, not so good for the rest of the world.

The price of oil going up means good news for us.  All those reserves we have are in dollars.  As long as we have them, and oil is near $100 a barrel, the dollar will always have a home in the world markets.  Chaos over there means the only stable things people can count on are US corporations - and they are always run fine!

Besides, Dubai is trying to grab a fifth of the Nasdaq, and US firms have longterm contracts all over Arabia now.  The revenue will keep our kids as fat and happy as we are.

if you want stability against the collapsing dollar and inflation, precious metals are your way to go.  gold, silver, palladium.  fiat currency isn't worth the paper its printed on... most wont even bother to take this into account, but if you educate yourself to the current global economy and recognize how precious metals (physically held, not in some pool account) will help you ride through the storm that is coming... you are going to be much better off.

gonna be a tough wake up call for a lot of people.... metals, food, guns, and ammo are the currency of the future.

As a you make good investment you should be somewhat ok

1. People will always need a place to live..rental properties
2. People will always needs food..grocery stores

as you as fully aware the markets fluctuate..what goes up must come down and vice versa

when housing market started taking off I wasn't aggresive or smart enough to take advantage. Maybe now that it is coming down and becoming a buyers more oppertunities will present themselves.

also maybe now is the time to start looking into foreign markets.

where some see disaster others see oppertunity

also maybe not hookers will start charging less and the price of coke and weed might come down also..liquor is always cheap

the USD has been taking a serious nose dive... which in turn means higher purchasing power in the form of oil or gold and silver... platinum and palladium to some degree.  diversify, and keep in mind all that money you hold in banks in greenbacks is being used to hedge inflation to prevent the collapse of one of the strongest currencies in recent times.

   It's not so much that the U.S economy going down as is Canada is actually enjoying a booming economy. Good for them, the are a land rich in resources and have a leader who is doing things that are building their economy stronger.
  OPEC raised oil prices which Mexico responded by reducing their production. The U.S gets 14% of its oil from Mexico. This is one reason why the U.S dollar took a hit more recently. The U.S gets more oil from Mexico than any other part of the world, even the middle east.

THE US DOESN'T GET ANY OF ITS OIL FORM THE MIDDLE EAST...ALL OF AMERICAS OIL COMES FROM MEXICO, CANADA, VENEZUELA AND NIGERIA...AND BY THE WAY MOST OF AMERICAS OIL COMES FROM CANADA.

CANANDA'S ECONOMY IS BOOMING BECAUSE IT ENTERED INTO A DEAL WITH CHINA...SUPPLYING CHINA WITH MUCH NEEDED OIL AND MAKING A KILLING FROM IT...

Me too.   Derivatives.

how do you mean? do you invest in them, or are you worried about the unknown dimensions of their impact on the markets?

kind of a surprising answer from you . . .

[Camel Jockey]

aren't you gonna graduate soon?  don't you want that financial analyst job pre-MBA?

To bet honest, I'd be happy with a full charge bookeepig gig. Business school is like maybe 10 years down the road.

And I am wating for the 2008 Nassau county police officer exam. Or an internship for my junior year.
