good morning
can you think of some good reasons why Buffett is interested in long term capital management? My overactive imagination makes me wonder if Buffett could be devious enough to start making silver rise and thus encourage gold to rise and put more of a squeeze on leveraged positions of LTCM and then maybe have it fall in his lap.
I have read repeatedly recently that silver's rise is attributed to technical factors..not fundamental factors.
A bigger fundamental question..with all these austerity measures being put in place or attempted to be put in place,how in the world can the consumers in those countries spend money to bolster up their economy
if they will have even less jobs and more unemployment?
Is the IMF bailout in Brazil for our money centered banks or for Brazil?
I am obsessed with the article I no longer have from Baron's about most of the money being lent by the banks was for "financial instrumentsnot for investing in companies..
Why in the world can't the governments encourage private investment in foreign companies directly..isn't that the old fashioned way? Why do they appear to just persist in bailing out financial types and leaders and destroying the quality of lives in the common workers? Do you think basically they are desiring socialism big time and are creating the seeds for a huge revolution?
Also do you think the Germans and the French will allow their benefits
to be taken away for the benefit of the financial types?
I am not worried about Italy..to me they are just a nation of individuals.. :-)
