The US is way over do for inflation. We have fought off any real inflation fro 20 years and the cycle is turning. Add in GW's spending and everyone can see the writing on the wall. OPEC is a risk and people want to be compensated for it.

So it will take some serious interest rate hikes to reverse this.

Wankenstein · 12-11-2003, 08:42 AM

Yeah, with the Dow and the Nikkei on such a steady decline intrest rates will not go up any time soon. I thought wars were supposed to be good for the economy!

I haven't read this thread - but the wisest thing to do has always been to get a feel for what most people think - and then do the opposite.

If people are pessimistic, be optimistic, etc.

DavidD, thanks a lot mate thats a kickass document thats just what I was after but couldn't find it.

Looks like US to Aussie at 1.28 or maybe 1.30 would be a good time to change. its currently 1.35. If the US is at one of its lowest points and the Aussie is at its record high, can't really go wrong

Thanks again mate

Cheers

Matt

The dollar will stop dropping when its good for us to have it stop dropping.

A lower dollar does all this along with creating more jobs.

this just shows you aren't paying attention.

if you want to learn how to get a bad reputation for your company or how to spout delusional rhetoric 12clicks is your man, but if you want intelligent economics commentary i'd suggest you look elsewhere.

Just as important, the dollar downdraft is already having a salutary effect on profits -- and the stock market -- by raising the overseas earnings of Corporate America.

It's certainly good news for much of Corporate America, especially multinational companies. About a quarter of the sales of companies in the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index come from their foreign units, estimates Merrill Lynch & Co. The biggest reason for the immediate profit gains that many are starting to see isn't rising exports or better protection from cheap imports but simply from translating foreign earnings from more valuable foreign currencies into dollars.

Hard working oftentimes means limited intelligence.
I'm betting that here.
If this nobody thinks I'm a thief, he/she either has a skeleton in his/her closet or has friends who are thieves.

whichever, it doesn't matter what nobodies think today any more than it did 5 years ago.
There are very few people on the entire net who have paid webmasters more than I have.

unfortunately the import/export imbalance is widening!. Sorry but you'll need a bit more than economics 101 to understand this.

A lot of the problem with the US deficit is outside the united states control.. God forbid you might actually need the european and japanese economies to improve so they start purchasing US goods.
