RLLD 4,230 Posted February 27, 2007 It certainly didnt help that durable goods took a nosedive at the same time. I would expect this to further temper the housing market. if you are looking to gouge someone for well beyond your homes value, better wait until June or July.

Greedo 13 Posted February 27, 2007 Unless Giuliani can stop the trade deficit, and stop running a budget deficit, the Chinese will own more and more of our assets. Is that part of his platform, since you're such a fan of Rudy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In a round about way, yes. Our entire economy is affected on what essentially amounts to a favorable exchange rate for china. Everything we do , which dwarfs the cost of the war, has been handled via this exchange yet you wanna make the "Occupation" the reason? Typical. nice.

Everything we do , which dwarfs the cost of the war, has been handled via this exchange yet you wanna make the "Occupation" the reason? Typical. Well, if we're in a DEBTOR situation (which we weren't 8 years ago), then we occupy another country (the cost of which BTW is purported to reach One Trillion dollars), we know WE'RE not paying for it. - Somebody else is. And, the two biggest holders of US Govt Debt are China and Japan. ...and I'm pretty sure I didn't say that the EIGHT TRILLION dollar debt Bush racked up was solely b/c of the Iraq Occupation. (though, a pretty nice chunk of it, huh?). Only that foreign lenders were paying for that occupation. But, YOU not having reading comprehension? Typical.

Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted February 28, 2007 In case anyone was curious, yesterday's tumble (percentage-wise) was the 268th worst all-time No big deal. There had been quite a few gains in the market that were due for a correction. Might be a good time to buy, but not really a time to sell off (unless you have a complete dog), and definitely not a time to panic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
