    I don't really understand economics...

    austrian economics fairly mainstream? hmm would that be on the planet of mars perhaps? well, since you seem to be only person in the world to have studied economic theory, perhaps you can educate the rest of us "uninformed fools" by shedding a bit more light onto why the austrian school is...

    I don't really understand economics...

    i can assure you that it is not nonsense. the world needs to be educated on the fact that keynesian economics is junk economics and is used in large part for the benefit of a small majority via the exploitation of the masses. also i don't understand where you state in your post that towncryr...

    I don't really understand economics...

    i have to agree with tom on this one, that the US is perfecting the model of a police state, which they will then export to other countries. this has been happening for some time now.

    HAARP and earthquakes

    this is a good thread. we are truly living in interesting times. i think that as things get more desperate, people look to conspiracy theories for answers to events that seem to make no sense or have no rhyme or reason. i too have been called a conspiracy theorist because i dared to have an...

    Hyperinflation?

    thanks for your post jim. my only critique is that i would not start my post out by saying "there are a few errors". this assumes a lot. like so many economic statements and positions, much comes down to which stats are you measuring, over what time period and more importantly, what is the...

    Hyperinflation?

    and they will because they have no other choice. the fed has already commited itself. you either print or default. and printing of course is another form of default. also, it's not just about printing money. it's also about other countries losing faith in the dollar and using other...

    Hyperinflation?

    buy gold and silver. argentina does not have a monopoly on printing money, devaluing currency and creating inflation. the same thing will eventually happen to the united states as it is also priniting money out of thin air and has a debt to gdp ratio worse than greece. another round of QE3...

    Looking for a good "closed-door" restaraunt?

    glad to hear i wasn't the only one to think this way. some of the combinations were definitely questionable. it was an interesting experience but don't think i would ever return.

    buying gold

    this makes sense when taking into consideration the capital flight controls that are currently in place. the only alternative for most people is to use the black market. i have a contact with a local cueva that is reliable not only for buying gold but also for sending/receiving funds to/from...

    Welcome to the Argentine Idiocracy

    i agree with a lot of what you have to say however i believe there are more similarities between argentina and the states than you might think. there are also relationships behind the scenes that will never see the light of day. both countries have been run by corrupt mafia governments for...

    Welcome to the Argentine Idiocracy

    unfortunately, the same can be said of the united states as bush jr. was elected twice. also i'm not sure to what degree they use electronic voting machines here if at all. but if they do, it would be far too easy to rig an election. watch the HBO documentary Hacking Democracy...

    buying gold

    as of about a month ago you could buy gold from banco piano with pesos at the official rate. there is an arbitrage opportunity here if they are still allowing this.

    buying gold

    purity would not be a factor as you would not be purchasing any argentine coins. you would be buying south african krugerands, mexican libertads, canadian maples...etc. each coin contains one ounce of pure gold(libertad has 1.2). in some cases, there may be other metals such as copper or zinc...

    buying gold

    that's not true. banco piano sells gold in pesos. at least they did up until about a month ago. i'm not sure about monthly limitations on the amount one can buy. private party is another option but you need to know what you're doing.

    buying gold

    bill your post is exaggerating just a little bit. there is no limit on the amount of gold you can carry and there is no tax, at least for the united states. it must be declared however. in this case, since he cannot buy dollars at a good rate, he is better off buying gold with his pesos...

    Great Economics Discussion Last Night

    well unfortunately, keynesian theory has largely been proven to be junk economics. i believe that if greece had been using austrian theory it would not be in the mess it is right now. to say it "has never worked anywhere" is disingenuous because no politician has ever had the courage nor the...
