I like the "Russian oil only for Russia" news :lol: At least some step from our spineless administration take due effect. A taste of things to come, I guess.

Lì paludi, minacce, cecchini coi fucili, documenti, file notturne e clandestini
Qui incontri, lotte, passi sincronizzati, colori, capannelli non autorizzati,
Uccelli migratori, reti, informazioni, piazze di Tutti i like pazze di passioni...

Cry me a river you fucking disgusting pigopolist rich people. It's time for you to taste the oppression you've meted out to the rest of us; more than time.
If the economy crashes, do you think it's the wealthly class who will suffer, or do you think most of the suffering will fall on lower- and middle-class people....like yourself? None of this is good news, and your superheated rhetoric makes you sound like an idiot.

Indeed. The US housing crash is a goldmine for anyone who wanted to work in the US market and didn't up till now due to the boom. (Allthough getting capital is a bit of a problem now) :P

Anyone heard anything about this? Or had any experience with this
What about the amount of foreign goods you can buy by selling your stocks? Trade is a relatively small part of the United States economy, and much of it is with places like Mexico and China, whose currencies haven't really altered much against ours. (To be fair, a lot of it is also with Canada and Japan, that have seen higher currency appreciation). Moreover, many of those places have dropped the prices of their goods and taken lower profits rather than lose sales volume. That's why, you may recall, everyone's complaining that our trade deficit is failing to adjust. Overall, the effect of the currency decline on the purchasing power of your stock investment is exceedingly modest unless you planned to blow every dollar on Paris vacations and BMW automobiles.

Anyone seen any quarterly reports in their financial sections that corroborate or contradict this?
