Yes, it can do. As was pointed out though, this can be offset by a slow down of the speed at which money changes hands.

US Debt Ceiling Crisis Thread

I don't see the arguement that denies the presence of inflation.

US Debt Ceiling Crisis Thread

That makes sense. Quantity of money (Q), Velocity (V) Q x V = X 2Q x 1/2V = X I'm not exactly sure what 'X' is. But I guess the above shows an increase in Q doesn't have to have any effect as long as V decreases enough too. Saying that, this is ...

I'm not qualified (at the moment) to understand the impact or the extent of their printing. I don't know all the theories, the numbers or the past cases to come to any kind of honest conclusion with regards to the effects of what the U.S. Gov. is ...

US Debt Ceiling Crisis Thread

I care: a good economy is always in our best interests. Abundant wealth means more opportunity for the forward thinking. Business is like a house of cards, the ones that take the most weight at the bottom. When these structurally significant ones ...

US Debt Ceiling Crisis Thread

Funniest post this year! Can't believe I didn't bail out instantly when Skunny attributed the supposed success of his system to the 'rulers of the world' who used the fib method he had discovered to manufacture their exact plan for future exchange ...

The Scrap Heap

If his creditor is smart, then the OP can afford to lose the money.

Had enough

There is hope as long as a person doesn't quit. The big question isn't whether to quit or not, but whether he can 'live without the hope' if this is his only plan to escape the rat race. Most forum users are here for escapism. This is the one place ...

Had enough

Cash and deposits wont add up to anywhere near the total amount of wealth, I'd hazard a guess that it's less than a couple of percent. You've got real estate, Stocks, Bonds and other stuff too... even if I could give you a figure what would it ...

How much money is there in the whole world?

For starters, a futures contract is a derivative itself. A derivative is any instrument which, at least in part, gets its value from another instrument. So that's Futures (I want to lock in this price for my orange concentrate), options (I don't ...

How does trading benefit the economy?

Wow, Bug. Looks like I need to hire an assistant to get the 1st post updated. Lol. Cheers for the links mate.

Economics/politics resources

Hey bug, I was wondering if you would mind me using many of the PDF's in this thread to make a one-stop resource thread. I've got a thread called 'politics and Economics resources' but find that the description is a little narrow in retrospect. I'm ...

The PDF useful sources thread

I added a little to the post, to be clearer.

GDP math problem

If the numbers that you give are correct: 1.005 x 1.012 x 1.002 x 1.007 = 1.02622777884 or 2.62 % (to 2.d.p) increase. Maybe they used the actual figures (not rounded - it's very likely) to get the annualised GDP increase %. Here's an example to ...

What kind of music do I hear when I trade? You mean playing through my mind? Probably the Jaws tune.

What kind of music you hear while you trade?

Glad you like it. You're right, there is some amazing stuff on the forum. You just need to be in the right place at the right time or search hard for it. Both the video links were originally posted on this site in the Members Forum by other ...

I'll second this... nowhere to be found.

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset

Cheers mate. Here goes... video I like to engineer situations where people walk in on me looking thoughtfully in to the distance with this song playing in the background... I think it gives them a good sense of just how cool I really am.

What kind of music you hear while you trade?

Because I'm not smart enough.

Economics/politics resources

My point exactly. The problem is, I get a feeling that the OP's 'reason' will be a mere generalised comment about what is happening between buyers and sellers. I really don't want to shit on the OP here, so I'll say that the way in which he speaks ...
