[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 859408, member: 9096"] That's exactly what I mean, the 'speculative economy' rides on top and is a parasite to the real economy what really gets me is everyone hoots and hollers about 'survival of the fittest' in the economical sense, but after they've burnt the house down, you and I are left holding the bag, bailing them out... I give kudos to Iceland that told the banks to go stick it where the sun don't shine, they weren't getting bailed out I wonder where we'd be today had there been no bailouts, Fanny mae, freddy mac, AIG, all history... Meanwhile I hear GM now means Government Motors :P Keeping up with my homeland, Switzerland, they had to finally peg the Frank to the Euro.. you see, several years ago, the swiss frank was actually 40% covered by gold, that was when gold was $350/oz... now that there has been a run on gold, it is more than 100% covered, which is why people invested in it... I remember 10-20 years ago, the frank was about 0.60 USD... it's now about 1.20 USD but since a high curency value is bad for your own economy, they had to put a stop to the rising frank... kinda like what china does with the USD [/QUOTE]
