Global economic situation for liveaboard cruising yachties

[masalai]

Look again or is blindness another failing?

[Boston]

well I step out for a moment and what happens
four or five pages of blissful mud wrestling

my only comment would be to a certain European someone who keeps mentioning
"my country"
in reference to North America

hardly

I feel this thread has evolved somewhat to include the idea to share economic-crisis news gathered from around, and the easiest way is to copy and paste links, and where that is not possible, copy&paste key or most parts of the essay with source links if possible...

I doubt any of us are or would like to be identified, especially if we had positions inside related industry like as a journalist etc - my feeling is - sharing knowledge is more important as things can change very quickly...

My personal view, and there are many others who I read and are far better qualified and have distinguished themselves by demonstrating time and again that they have "got it right", of this view (which I have adopted), is that the US$ will collapse, how rapidly and a myriad other questions I do not know, but to prepare for such contingencies NOW is critical....

Check that your "superannuation fund" and other investments are NOT exposed to - US$ or GB pound - investments or derivatives... That is where I got burnt, but have recovered profitably since then... Hedge your other assets, clear as much as possible all debts, see a financial advisor who is NOT complacent about investing in shares and leaving it there but who continually reviews the market and moves investments as necessary... and is NOT of the Keynesian school of economic thought... - - If he should admit to following the Austrian school of economic theory, that would possibly be refreshingly pleasing...

Be actively involved in watching and managing your portfolio and restrict yourself to stuff you FULLY understand and avoid 'wacko' high profit schemes... Gold, many advisors suggest should make up about a third of your portfolio - half in bullion and half in carefully selected mine shares... - - See your advisor - I am not a financial advisor...

Everyone should be aware (except for a few troglodytes) that most of the global economic disaster is laid at the feet of what have been labelled as the "NY cartel" and associates with the support of the US FED (which they own) and the US Treasury, which, in effect they control... Bambi named them in a piece the other day... I have named them, Links I have posted have named them, often with the human names of key personnel inside those corporations... The total debt of USA in various forms and sectors can be seen here in a relatively simple format.http://www.usdebtclock.org/ - - - more than 600 trillion - in 1998 the GNP of the WORLD was less than a tenth that for the whole year... The USA must fail very soon, and the only thing holding it up is wind and ********...

I do not know what and how much exposure Australia has to US derivatives or US$ debt... - I expect the big **** to begin anytime before the end of 2010... It pays to be cautiously prepared...

Hey Mas, your post 2180, referring to me, what was that in response to please mate?

[masalai]

I was doing a bit of 'housekeeping' and realised some points and questions had gone unanswered or un-addressed - It started off responding to some points that you made, then like topsy, just grew and grew and also sidetracked to end up as an unruly general spread of my views - should have removed the name but forgot - Oops sorry... done

Hundreds of US volunteers, and many pure anglosaxons with no direct affiliation with the muslim religion, joined Al-Qhaeda in Balkan wars, and fought together with those you now call *******s.

Such is the pover of self-delusion, fueled by ignorance and misconstructed image of the world that maybe lies outside of the boundaries of your own country. At least in your minds...

Hypocrisy at its' best.

In the meantime, Al-Qhaeda is florishing in Bosnia and preparing more carnage of those naive, stupid and ignorant "western democrats" who know nothing yet pretend to know it all better than anyone else.

Back in town....FWIW at the time I KNEW it was a ridiculous thing to do and a mistake.

As for Islam,when an entire religion is actively predicated on the destruction of the Jews first,and the conversion of any other religion lastly..they are the enemy.

As for "moderate" muslims-there are none.

Rubbish.

Some of the nicest people I know are Muslims. You need to get out more.

Hey, Bos, My European ancestors flat kicked the asses of my native ancestors. ur awfully proud of your ancestry... WTF diff does it make? I'm just happy to not be from Chile!

Fifty times drier than Death Valley, so dry that the scientists study it as a fax of what mars or Gliese581E must be like, virtually sterile, characterized by permafrost, salares, and as described by Alonso de Ercilla in La Araucana,.."without (a real) man".
Of course, I am speaking not of the Atacama but of the zona mortal resulting between the legs of the one woman (Escherichia Coli - call her "E.") who attempted to convert the "Golden Boy". Having married him against Masa's (corn pone? Do they have corn pone in Queensland?) vehement protests, she resigns herself to infrequent solo expat vacations, "tune-ups", she calls 'em, and finds purpose thru translating GB(GoldenBoy)DMF rantings, collecting service fees from miners and fertilizing the family organic farm (pass the antibiotics for the Chilean imports, please...).

Nice Muslims? SOI just biding time.

[Frosty]

The best country in the world America has now a nice muslim president,!! hes moderate is'nt he?

Hes tall too,-- like Bin Ladin,--hey you dont think!!!--- Naaa could'nt be could it?

Wonderful plastic surgeons these days.

He escaped on a mule.

Frosty you are not in a position to say something like that. As I read your profile you are not living in the US nor you are a citizen of the US.
I will never gave an opinion on your prime minister, I will let you do that, it is your priviligege not mine. You vote in your country.
But I will say I realy love your queen, she is cool.
Been a racist is not good in public, please keep for your club in your nursing home.
Muslin has to be respected as the catholic, the anglican and all other religions. Only incompetant and realy ignorant man has your opinion. (if we can call thaat an opinion)
I suggest you refrain to this kind of childish extreme right and incompetent statement.
If you don't like the muslin and use their name as an insult, you should just shut you mouth.
As for Ben Laden it is not a joke. I see by your reflection that nobody in your close "entourage" die in the attack. Shame on you.
As a good catholic, I will defend all other religion, as long nobody take them to their advantage. (which happens to often I admit.)
Here in the US tomorrow is Thanksgiving, so I wish you all peace on earth.
Cheers.
Daniel
