Actually, the subprime sector accounts of $300bln, as I heard of. Not a big deal.

What is being thrown on the table is whether or not this "credit" sector as a whole is under jeopardy and, if so, whether or not, when and how hard it will hit the real economy.

Of course, as markets always do, they are trying to trade all those answers and their implications in advance.

"Another fund exploded, I'm selliout right now"
"Hey, not a big deal, it's only $300bln, I'm buying this dip"
"Yeah right... Home Depot? Home? Huh? House? Subprime. I'm selling!!!"
"Oh, that bad a problem? Fed will cut. I'm buying right now!"


Be back in a few hours.

They are saying that this credit cruch is not a collapse to the economy because its just washing out overleveraged players.

GoldMan Sachs... have funds with 6:1 Leverage... they reduced it to 3:1


So, despite... a credit "cruch" they are still capable of leverage their billion dollar investments by 3:1

Whinners

This ppl just want to live above their capacity. There is no risk to a recession, just whinning pure and simple to get back easy money.

Sentiment is what counts for now thought.

Well my firend the problems with the credit sector could have seriously detrimental effects on the economy... Simply there is A LOOOOOOT MOOOOORE credit money out there than equities... Not to mention the CDS (Credit default swap), the CDO (Collateralized Debt Obligations) market and the other derivative credit markets... If that collapses we can ALL go home and prey....

Look.

Ppl who live outside US can't really tell how this credit cruch really hurt to their consuming.

I wrote a thread another day on the members lounge, to ask if someone there could ship me gasoline. Why?

They pay 3 dolars per gallon and they are whinning.... i pay 7.1 dollars per gallon.

Our economy here is not doing very well, ... and "we" still buy mobile phones every month, "we" travel, we do everything normal, except in christmas, the gifts tend to be very low quality .

But guess what.... Medium Wage here per month is less than 1K, in US is more than 2K

So do the math...

Their problem are their stupid cars who suck gasoline like a vampire sucks blood.

Our cars in Europe make more than 300 Miles with just 10 Gallons

Their probably do 1/3 of that.

They like to pollute... thats it.

So if we are not dying with less income, they sure aren't dying too...

So don't pay no attention to... hah... the gas is rising...!
They have to double the price to get in our situation and even so... they earn more anyway.


In other words this means that, when they start to revolutionize their cars, there will be a BOOM of car sales in US.

Well, it is in my blood...

Thats ok as long as you dont authorise consumer credit.
The first time I came to live in the U.S. 2 years ago I applied for a credit card and I asked for a 500 dollar limit just to get started.

I offered them as security (written proof) :
A nice pension already in payment guaranteed 100% by the U.K. government
a 6 figure bank account
a mortgage free house
UK credit cards with $30k limits

They refused me as I had no U.S. credit rating.

I bet they were handing out $10k cards to all sorts of paupers just because they were 'born in the USA'

with idiotic policies like that it proves that retail credit banks do not know the first thing about their own business and assessing their customers and how to be 'commercial' , so I hope they all go broke and get fired and end up as rough trade rent boys in LA south central !

yes it upset me.

I will be applying again in November - jeez no chance now !

The pay is ALOT better than the U.S plus you start out with 4 weeks vacation a year, and can go up to six weeks per year after you have been with a company for awhile. Plus the public transportation is so good you dont have to drive. ( I havent driven a car in 6 months) When the weather is good I take my bicycle, when its bad I take the tram. And IF the tram/bus/train is two minutes late people start freaking out, everything is run perfectly on time, almost to the very second. Why do you think their watches are so good?

The biggest Medium Wages in Europe are in Germany and Belgium

More than 50 000 Euros per year.

A study says that... as a whole the 27 countries have an wage average of 15% below US, but....

If we count just the biggest countries the average is 23% bigger than US average.

I dont know about the whole country but Zurich has the highest standard of living of any place in the world. Yes even better than Tokyo.
Just take a look at how many $100,000+ cars are driving around here.
