If the universe was designed upon the same principles running our economies at present, it would be like living in "Alice in Wonderland". Only it would be more like a cross between a bad acid trip and the Twilight Zone.

Yeah, no kidding.

On another of Max's clips, they're taking about having to look into the derivative markets...the one's the lady is talking about.

If these derivative markets are 'toxic' then that's pretty much the end of the world as we know it.

They're saying that the derivative markets are 10 times the global GDP!!!! or US$600Trillion!!!

Thank God that the new 'Basket of Currencies' are backed by 50% physical Gold; Fractional Reserve [Ponzi] policies are the root of all financial evils and get rich quick schemes.

I feel the greenback MUST die, so that the rest of the world may move-on...there's no way to fix it. Like the lady says, you can't, it's all toxic, every part of it.

Well, I thought derivatives was like dy/dx where y=f(x) but that type of derivative is a walk in the park compared to this economic gobblegook. I sooner have another go at thermogoddamits that get my head around economics. :confused2:

[Nesti]

LOL

I think I get the derivative markets now; x, y, z are all =f(greed).

So dividends may be defined as; the first derivative is 'how many people get screwed to get the x, y and z components' , and the second derivative is simply 'how fast we can do it'.

I have just hit upon the equation which explains how our present economy is working. It's in the attached document to this post...it's to be included in my upcoming thesis..."Who Flung Dung, Or, How China Will Not Save Your Monetary Neck":P:P:D:D
