patron_anejo_por_favor re deflation 500 trillion dollars destroyed is a lot of printing to catch up. I think a deflationary depression is quite possible but let's see what the the new world financial order brings. Jim

Has anyone discussed what will do well under President Obama? I remember some excellent discussions at the end of 2000 that Defense and Oil were the places to invest under Bush. That worked OK :-) Obviously alternative energy is a place to look. And probably companies that are involved in domestic infrastructure (roads, bridges, etc.) Maybe education - and perhaps some healthcare will be winners, and some losers (like insurance companies) depending on if Obama is able to push any health programs (his hands will be tied at first with all the Bush screw-ups). I'm interested in other suggestions (not political diatribes).

Default is the only way out. The central banks are a quadrillion short.. and years late... 5 trillion will not do a farking thing. AIG is the canary: ap.google.com Banks world wide blowing up faster then the digital trillions they are adding. Too many interconnected CDSs that keep triggering other CDS. You should believe in box`s dominoe theory that you keep paying lip service too then completely ignore it with post like this. =================== Thing is, you don't even need a printer. Dollars are just digital 1's and 0's in the ether, you can print up a trillion at the snap of yer fingers (in fact, Clowngress just did that with the bailout). 25K per capita stimulus package in every pot? You betcha! Deflation is a laughable dream in that environment. No way the (very real) shredder can keep up with virtual money creation. The printer runs at the speed of light (literally).
