Thumbs up Paranoid - 07-11-2008, 11:24 PM

I think Rob's article shows alot of Paranoia .... (maybe it's the green substances he's been taking)

His talking of paper money disapearing is bordering on "Day of judgement is nigh" ... It's critical "in the US" but in Norway "for example" it's okay ...

If you can put your money into Brazilian currency, then do so, that's what Warren buffet has been doing .... And, in Australia interest rates have been at12.5% , demonstrates how much much of a dent the current financial crisis has affected it i.e. it hasn't ..... so Brazil similary is not so interlinked with the US economy effects .. My point is there are many a country that are not affected by the US and UK/Europe situation .... Dubai is another example ... I personally wouldn't stock up on Gold bars just yet !

His Gold prediction is also full of "optimism". His signal of $2000 is very very optimistic. Gold is trading at 100 year peak, and i think will burn our rather than climb another mountain .. (Look for $1300 and then a significant drop)

In the previous Gasoline "debated" posts .. although we in UK/Europer pay aproximately $8 for the equivelant $5 in the U.S. there are significant differences. These being :

- U.S. Gov. holds tax on gasoline at 10% whereas we "in the free world" we are taxed at 85%.

- US is a billion times more larger than UK (that helped the British Empire in its land stats.) therefore it costs a billion times more to buy your loaf of bread and milk from your local Walmart (little guy was bought out) and to visit your Auntie in Wisconsin.

- US is screwed if gasoline prices jump 300% because (after reserves) the only tax relief that you can get is 10%.

Rob generally gives okay advice but too much he leans towards skepticism ... His GBP/USD figure of 1.70 in his last article was way off ... He is still predicting huge financial weakening in the UK economy ... but i think he is way wrong, i'm from London, and one thing i can say is that "our" economy is resilient .. fundementally sound, stern, and our decision makers financially are academics (Professors) and not snotty, ego-headed "businessman" ... So i think Rob needs to temper down on his UK economic prediction and generally his pessimism ....

Default rob is so right - 07-12-2008, 12:02 AM

I strongly agree with rob here and MR AftabKhanYusufzai if you think the UK is not heading for a lot of trouble and fianancial ruin think again ! and wake up.
I would like to see your comments in a years time,The UK is sinking fast and is becoming a dangerous place to live both financaly and phisicaly,overpriced with a goverment full of lairs,cheats and dragging this country to the pits !!!

What rob predicts is good enough for me.

Hey Rob, I really enjoyed your article. Your sense of humor is great, and your outlook quite interesting. Everyone has their own opinion as to what directions global economies will take but I'm not sure if AftabKhanYusufzai can make up his mind as to whether your take on things is "skeptical" (which I take as pessemistic) or is "full of optimism". Also, I am not quite sure who he is referring to as "snotty ego-headed businessmen," if he is making a reference at all. A weakened economy is like a random crime, there is no one entity who has total and complete immunity to being victim of it. Perhaps our friends across the pond have inhaled too much fumes from their Imperial gallon gasoline and feel that they are immune.

Default Make a call, don't tell us what we know!! - 07-14-2008, 01:54 AM

yeah yeah Rob, same old stuff you always say, nothing new. Could break this level above and go to next level, or break this level below and go to the next level.
No ****! the market can go up and down, sometime though it just hangs out too.
I thought the purpose for these monthly investment picks is to make a call. Why all this general economic analysis, why not get some f'ing cohones and make a call.
