    Heres something i can sink my teeth into.

    Nice to see others trying to unravel global economic
    realities late on a sunday night,even if it was taped
    two days ago,Moe was up to put it out,good job.

    Interest rates to remain low?
    -i agree,but who and why are purchasing those
    bonds and to what end.

    Greece?
    -the euro was like an experiment.Their has to be
    re-captilization to weak points.A right down is a
    right down,over leveraged entities that start to
    default need to be dealt with so as to not cause a
    cascade event in the derivatives market.Dont say a
    damn word Tom,you've never come close to
    understanding this stuff.

    If you bought a house in timbukto for 450,000 and
    if that house is now worth 200,000 and you owe
    400,000 your balance sheet is flawed.imagine a
    bank lending out thousands of mortgages and with
    a float of ten percent.

    Step in the government to backstop that!

    Now think about it-the debt-in our society-take a
    drive-we are all backstopping eachothers
    mortgages,lol...i should stop here bla,bla,bla

      Very interesting and uncertain times. Will keep posting the farms.com futures quote area and encouraging everyone to follow - particularly the charts.

        I agree cotton, thats a big fear. It actualy makes little diff if crops get flooded or droughted out long term - it's the global finacial mess that will determine our future. IMO
        I understand far less than you as well but I know enough that there is something much bigger at play and it could get ugly.
