Hej från andra sidan öresunden. Hade ingen aning att det fanns en dansk board på ihub. hmmm, finns en på svenska? Jag kan varken tala eller fatta danska, men det går att läsa. shit, jag kan inte heller stava på svenska lol.

När ska vi få sommarvädret!?!

Farvel og hav det godt

Du mener åbenbart at du kan tillade dig at hundse og regere med alle andre og kalde alle for sindsyge idioter. Korea varIKKE fattig i 1985 i ordets egentlige forstand. JEG VAR DER I 1982. Lad være med at gøre dig klog på ting som du intet aner om. Hvis du virkelig er af den mening at Tyskland og Italien..selv lige efter krigen var fattige er det kun endnu et bevis på at du intet aner om virkelighedens verden men kun sidder og skræpper op på grundlag af nogle computerteorier og modeller som du selv mener rummer alverdens sandheder. Tag lige og opfør dig anstændig over for andre meninger, eller så tag dog og skrup hen på en lukket afdeling hvor du helt tydeligt hører hjemme.

gedden, cloner, kujo og andre

kan i ikke maile til ernst

vi har faktisk startet et nyt sted at skrive

så kan i få adressen af ernst

jeg gider ikke den personfnidder mere her på ihup og stopper derfor

jeg kan ikke forstå at man kan være så dumme svin som

hanne, greengrass, agenten, frege, hap og en del andre

det bliver uden mig

nu stopper du altså - dit dumme svin

og dine medskribenter på diverse sider

jeg er ikke interesseret i at diskutere og bruge min kostbare tid og denne side på at diskutere med idioter som dig

selvfølgelig kan man sammenligne de fattige landes udvikling i asien med udviklingen i tyskland og italien efter 1946, det er jo noget vrøvl du skriver, at de kendte spillereglerne, det gør kina også

og at sydkorea, som jeg selvfølgelig referede til ikke skulle have været fattige i 1985 må være fordi du ikke har været derude og undersøgt det ved selvsyn

og spar mig dine kommentarer om min person

det er dig og din mand greengrass, der er syge i hovedet sammen med diverse tidligere skribenter på spekulant incl. frege og agenten, og hap mm var deciderede inkompetente personer, de bare var ude på ballade i stedet for saglig snak om konjunktur og aktier, altså en samling dumme svin

se og pis af med dig inden vi gør alvor af at lukke denne side og finde en ny med hemmelig adresse

i er kun ude på at lave ballade og lave personfnidder

og jeg fatter ikke at agenten gjorde det samme, han er da også sindssyg

Det er amagerbank. Jeg har ikke prøvet at købe nogen...men jeg kommer så langt som til, at de beder om handelspaswd - altså der hvor jeg accepterer handlen. Der er jeg stoppet indtil videre.

Det var vist 350 kroner for en handel i singapore.

jeg handler dem bl.a. gennem danske bank

Det er godt med dg mister le. jeg har lige genlæst et indlæg fra dig den 9/11/2003 som er svar på et indlæg fra 47. Der skal en del fri fortolkning og ikke så lidt fordrejning til at få det til at passe med dit seneste indlæg, men lad det nu ligge.

Min kommentar til:
citat:1.og selvom et land er meget fattigt så

vil en meget høj vækst i mere end 10 år gøre mange flere indbyggere meget mindre fattige

2.kina har boomet i masser af år, mere end 20 år og der er ikke så mange tilbage, der er så fattige som de fleste danskere tror

3.hvorimod indien og afrika stadig er så fattige at de fleste indbyggere er meget fattige, men derfor kan det godt gå fremad alligevel

4.italienerne og tykerne var også meget fattige i 1946

5. men det forhindrede dem ikke i at blive rige allerede i 1960 fordi det 'boomede' i 50'erne og 60'erne og endnu rigere i 1973, hvorefter de er blevet fattigere igen fordi staten plukker dem med skatter, der smides ud ad vinduet til ingenting

6.koreanerne er reelt rigere end vi er i danmark og så sent som i 1985 var de ludfattige, så hurtigt går udviklingen i lande, der boomer

7.kineserne vil også være meget rige engang i 2015, langt over halvdelen af befolkningen vil have en levestandard, der er højere end den vi har i danmark

8.hvis man ikke kan forstå det er det fordi man er udannet i det danske uddannelsessamfund og medier, der bare koster skatter og beskæftiger lærere, der ikke kan gøre andet end at spilde deres egen og elevernes tid, koster skattekroner og som reducerer arbejdskraftsudbudet til fornuftigt arbejde

Kommentar:
!. accepteret som rigtig og logik for selv lavt begavede.

2. Helt forkert. En langt større del af kineserne lever langt under hvad den almindelige dansker er i stand til at fatte

3.helt koeerkt. Den største del af befolkningerne (95%) i de nævnte lande er meget meget fattige.

4-5.En vanvittig sammenligning. De nævnte lande var smadret efter krigen men kun delvis. De var klar over hvordan et samfund kunne genopbygges, og USA pøssede mia af dillas ind som genopbygningshjælp. En meget kraftig fordrejning som ingen steder hører hjemme. Desuden er dinne meget primitive forståelse for skatter i et velfærdssamfund helt grotesk og afstumpet.

6.Korea er som bekendt delt op i Nord-og Sydkorea. Den sydlige del var ikke fattige i 1985 og den norlige del er stadig fattig...dog ikke på diverse militær isenkram. Endnu en meget kraftig fordrejning.

7. "Langt over halvdelen af kineserne vil have højere levestandard en danskerne i 2015." En sådan påstand tror du jo ikke engang selv på.

8. Så slutter du traditionen tro af med den sædvanlige le tilsvining af alle andre og de sædvanlige primitive floskler som intet har med virkeligheden at gøre.

Hvis du vil lukke siden mister le...så gør det dog. Du har jo alligevel ikke andet end hån og spot tilovers for andre.

Hanne

Humle, hvor er det du kan handle singapore , hongkong ?

Hej med jer,

Jeg sidder i lufthanvnen i athen, efter 2,5 uge paa graeaske oer - ingen internet forbindelser...

Jeg forstaar paa stemningenen her at det ikke har vaeret de bedste to uger.

Jeg faar checket aktierne i aften. pu-ha.

jeg vil lige repetere mine gamle prognoser om den langsigtede udvikling

jeg forudså klart opsvinget i 2003 og at det ville være begyndelsen til et længevarende globalt boom og aktiebullmarked

der ville føre til stigende råvarepriser og inflation, rentestigninger mm

jeg forudså også også at hvis ikke man satte renten op hurtigt i usa og andre steder i 2004-05 ville man ikke kunne forhindre en global overophedning

i den sammenhæng har jeg utallige gange forudset et kollaps i ejendomspriserne i 2007

jeg har forudset rentestigninger, der ikke er steget helt så meget som jeg forudså, men den korte rente er steget en del mange steder, også i usa indtil den så blev sat ned indenfor det sidste års tid pga den eskalerende ejendomskrise

og stigningerne i renterne fortsætter jo som jeg havde forudset, og især er renterne på diverse andre lån end bare den korte rente eller statsobligationerne steget en hel del og vil sikkert fortsætte med at stige

så de stigende renter mange steder i verden svarer helt til mine prognoser

og desværre er det også derfra risikoen ved at have aktier kommer fra

og jeg forudså jo også et stort fald i aktierne i 2006-08

Oil's recent slide and the slackening demand that an economic slowdown's expected to bring have stimulated hopes that crude could soon safely stabilize below the $100 range.

But beneath seesawing supply and demand lies the deeper question of just how much oil the planet has in the first place — and how much it will have in the future.

The answer to that question supports — or undermines — the theory that we are in the midst of an ever-tightening supply that will lock prices into a permanent, rising arc. That, in nutshell, is what's meant by the term "peak oil".



It’s an issue that matters, especially to major energy players who are in a race to disprove the theory and trying to bring on-stream more oil fields than are currently being depleted.

John Hofmeister, president of Royal Dutch Shell's US operations, shared his thoughts on the supply issue on CNBC’s Squawk Box on Thursday. He took aim at the peak oil theory as popularized by Matthew Simmons, the author of "Twilight in the Desert: The Coming Saudi Oil Shock and the World Economy." (See the Hofmeister interview at left.)

“The peak oil theory has really swamped the world — God bless Matt Simmons,” Hofmeister told CNBC.

Simmons is mistaken, said Hofmeister, because he is overly focused on a single country: Saudi Arabia, the world's largest exporter and OPEC swing producer.

Although Saudi Arabia is a dominant player, the Shell executive said focusing solely on Saudi Arabia leaves out the all other places around the globe where Big Oil — ExxonMobil EXXON MOBIL CORPXOM

[BP 64.53 -0.37 (-0.57%) ] and the like — and national oil companies are busy exploring for untapped oil reservoirs.

Those reservoirs could include the vast — but currently restricted — reserves of the US Outer Continental Shelf, which holds an estimated 100 billion barrels of oil and natural gas. Tapping into such a large supply would slash the $500 billion US sends overseas for each year for oil imports.

As things stands, however, only 15 percent of those reserves are currently exploitable, a good part of that off the coasts of Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas.

Matt Simmons
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Simmons is also off the mark, Hofmeister contends, because he excludes unconventional sources of oil such as the oil sands of Canada, where Shell is already active.

The Canadian oil sands — a natural combination of sand, water and oil found largely in Alberta — is believed to contain 1 trillion barrels of oil. Another 1 trillion barrels are also trapped in rocks in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming.

Given all that, we asked Simmons, who is chairman of Simmons & Co. International, a specialized energy investment-banking firm based in Houston, to respond to Hofmeister's comments and explain how his peak oil scenario can be avoided.

CNBC: What's your response to critics like Hofmeister?

Simmons: There is a kind of schizophrenia within the likes of Shell where the chairman basically says, "We think by 2012 global demand will exceed conventional supply" and yet Hofmeister basically says the idea that we are ever going to have peak oil is ridiculous.

CNBC: But he's suggesting you are leaving out unconventional sources of energy in your calculations.

Simmons: They make the distinction [between conventional and unconventional], but they don’t seem to make the connection about the vast difference of flow. They are so hung up on the total estimated volume. Once they start in a project they say, "Well, the reserves last forever so we can book a million barrels of reserves."

The energy that is consumed to get oil out of the oil sands of Canada — in massive amounts of potable water and natural gas — is so vast you are really turning gold into lead. What you get out is a very low quality amount of oil that has to be upgraded and diluted with high quality oil to get synthetic crude. What I can’t figure out is why the executives of these oil companies don’t understand that.

CNBC: And what about the reserves on the Outer Continental Shelf?

Simmons: That’s sort of irrelevant because we have such an unbelievable shortage of deep-water rigs. We are totally out of deep-water drilling rigs. There are about 100 that are struggling to get built. Four will ready by the end of next year.

And none of that deep-water stuff they are talking about has been properly tested to know if it is even commercial. It’s in such remote areas that we just don’t have the tool kit to realistically bring it on stream before maybe ten years from now — maybe 6-7 years from now.

Commodity Market's Roiling Riptides Of Prices

CNBC: What about other major finds such as the major off-shore discovery Brazil has made that is estimated could be the third largest oil field in the world?

Simmons: There have only been five wildcat wells drilled there. That’s like me saying I have drilled a well in Kansas, and another in Colorado and in New Mexico and in the panhandle of Texas and if they are all part of one giant oilfield, it is the biggest oil field ever in the Western Hemisphere. That’s an enormous "if."

You can claim that, but the proof of that would only be after you drill about 100 wells and flow test them all. And what we know is that 99 percent of those types of reservoirs never connect.

CNBC: You still think there are production difficulties in Saudi Arabia, but what do you expect will be the impact on production worldwide?

Simmons: Yes, and it’s why we have such a hard time growing production any more, and unfortunately demand doesn’t understand that. We are basically having to run faster and faster to stay in place as too many areas go into steady and steep decline.

You look at the North Sea … the last 7-8 years, Norway and the UK have been declining a rate of about 17-18 percent per year. And once you get a field down to its last 10 percent, then it levels out and goes into a long steady state of gentle decline — that is the state of Prudhoe Bay today.

CNBC: So, what is your prognosis for prices?

Simmons: I think prices have to go way higher. The sooner people get used to the fact that we are still living in a fool’s paradise, the better ... you just can not argue that $100 a barrel is expensive when you realize it is 15 cents a cup — do you know anything other than crude oil that sells for 15 cents a cup? I know wine doesn’t, bottled water doesn’t.

Tror du ikke bare de keder sig og tager pis på det hele.

De sidste prisstigninger vi har haft har nok også givet et par chocks i systemet.

Tænk bare på zink i guatemala. Zinkpriserne er faldet en del og stålpriserne steget voldsomt... Fabrikker bliver 20-40& dyrer for dem pga. dollarfaldet og stigningen i stålpriserne.

kvaliteten i deres lån er nok på niveau med boligerne og bilerne i kina, men man kan ikke se dem, når man går på gaden og ej heller husenes værdi, det står ikke på gadedøren

Government shuts down mortgage lender IndyMac

Office of Thrift Supervision steps in and closes IndyMac Bank; FDIC takes over operations


LOS ANGELES (AP) -- IndyMac Bank's assets were seized by federal regulators on Friday after the mortgage lender succumbed to the pressures of tighter credit, tumbling home prices and rising foreclosures.

The bank is the largest regulated thrift to fail and the second largest financial institution to close in U.S. history, regulators said.

The Office of Thrift Supervision said it transferred IndyMac's operations to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation because it did not think the lender could meet its depositors' demands.

IndyMac customers with funds in the bank were limited to taking out money via automated teller machines over the weekend, debit card transactions or checks, regulators said.

Other bank services, such as online banking and phone banking were scheduled to be made available on Monday.

"This institution failed today due to a liquidity crisis," OTS Director John Reich said.

The lender's failure came the same day that financial markets plunged when investors tried to gauge whether the government would have to save mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Shares of Fannie and Freddie dropped to 17-year lows before the stocks recovered somewhat. Wall Street is growing more convinced that the government will have to bail out the country's biggest mortgage financiers, whose failure could deal a tremendous blow to the already staggering economy.

The FDIC estimated that its takeover of IndyMac would cost between $4 billion and $8 billion.

IndyMac's collapse is second only to that of Continental Illinois National Bank, which had nearly $40 billion in assets when it failed in 1984, according to the FDIC.

News of the takeover distressed Alan Sands, who showed up at the company's headquarters in Pasadena, Calif., to find out when he could withdraw his funds.

"Hopefully the FDIC insurance will take care of it," said Sands, of El Monte, Calif. "I'm also kind of kicking myself for not taking care of this sooner, sooner as in the last couple of days."

A couple of dozen customers could be seen outside the building, reading fliers handed out by FDIC staff. The agency set up a toll-free number for bank customers to call.

IndyMac Bancorp Inc., the holding company for IndyMac Bank, has been struggling to raise capital as the housing slump deepens.

IndyMac had $32.01 billion in assets as of March 31.

A spokesman for the lender referred media queries to the FDIC.

The banking regulator said it closed IndyMac after customers began a run on the lender following the June 26 release of a letter by Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., urging several bank regulatory agencies that they take steps to prevent IndyMac's collapse.

In the 11 days that followed the letter's release, depositors took out more than $1.3 billion, regulators said.

In a statement Friday, Schumer said IndyMac's failure was due to long-standing practices by the bank, not recent events.

"If OTS had done its job as regulator and not let IndyMac's poor and loose lending practices continue, we wouldn't be where we are today," Schumer said. "Instead of pointing false fingers of blame, OTS should start doing its job to prevent future IndyMacs."

The FDIC planned to reopen the bank on Monday as IndyMac Federal Bank, FSB.

Deposits are insured up to $100,000 per depositor.

As of March 31, IndyMac had total deposits of $19.06 billion.

Some 10,000 depositors had funds in excess of the insured limit, for a total of $1 billion in potentially uninsured funds, the FDIC said.

Customers with uninsured deposits could begin making appointments to file a claim with the FDIC on Monday. The agency said it would pay unsecured depositors an advance dividend equal to half of the uninsured amount.

During a conference call with reporters, FDIC Chairman Sheila C. Bair said the agency would cover all insured deposits and then try to recover its costs by selling IndyMac's assets.

"We anticipate trying to market the institution as a whole bank," Bair said. "How much money we derive from that will depend on who gets paid what."

Holders of unsecured IndyMac debt may not fully recover their investment, Bair said.

"Generally if a creditor is secured, they are at the top of the claims priority," she said. "If they are unsecured, they're pretty low on the claims priority and probably will take some type of haircut with this, but we have not had a chance to do a thorough analysis to know ... how extensive those losses will be."

IndyMac spent the last two weeks trying to reassure customers that it was not near default.

On Monday, IndyMac announced it had stopped accepting new loan submissions and planned to slash 3,800 jobs, or more than half of its work force -- the largest employee cuts in company history.

In the letter to shareholders, IndyMac Chairman and Chief Executive Michael W. Perry said the drastic measures were made in conjunction with banking regulators to improve the company's financial footing and "meet our mutual goal of keeping Indymac safe and sound through this crisis period."

The plan was supposed to generate roughly $5 billion to $10 billion per year of new loans backed by government-sponsored mortgage companies, Perry said at the time.

But the run on its deposits ultimately short-circuited the strategy, prompting regulators to take action Friday.

Du er helt paa herrens mark, naar det begynder at gaa skaevt her i vesten, saa skal det nok ogsaa gaa ned af bakke i Kina. Kina er verdens fabrik og kan intet uden vesten. Ergo hvis vi ikke forbruger, saa er der intet at producere.

det er klart at man sagtens kan risikere et kollaps i væksten i de fattige lande

det skete jo i 1998, hvor de mindre økonomier i asien blev ramt af et voldsomt kollaps og en nedgang i industriproduktionen på 50% eller deromkring

og dengang var kina ikke så stor som i dag og heller ikke indien, men de undgik nedgangen, dog med lavere vækstrater i 1998-99

og fordi de andre lande i asien betød så meget for efterspørgslen efter råvarer og energi kollapsede olieprisen til 10 og råvarepriserne så det rev rusland, brazilien, mellemøsten og mange andre mindre råstofproducerende lande med ned i en afgrund og vi fik en stærk recession i det meste af den fattige verden

så derfor er det vigtigt at man kan følge udviklingen i de fattige lande og diverse indikatorer, for det er faktisk meget afgørende for udviklingen i aktierne om boomet i de fattige lande fortsætter eller man kan risikere at finanskrisen, der jo spøger i alle lande måske alligevel vælter boomet i de fattige lande

inflationen er jo steget overalt med stigende renter til følge, kreditstramning og udgifter til benzin/energi og fødevarer, der er steget så meget at mange mennesker i de fattige lande må skære ned på køb af andre goder så risikoen for at læsset vælter er stor, men det er bare ikke sket endnu, og det er det første udgangspunkt, at man skal tage udgangspunkt i kendsgerningerne, der viser at boomer fortsætter uændret

det er også derfor jeg ikke synes debatten herinde fungerer særlig godt når man hele tiden skal tage stilling til om kinas kvalitet på deres produkter og andre totalt ligegyldige emner, der helt

afsporer den sobre og seriøse debat som primært humle og jeg fører

i 1998 satte usa renten ned og dot.com boomet var ikke helt slut endnu, så usa trak verden op igen efter nedturen i 1998

og det er et eksempel på at både usa, europa og japan selvfølgelig stadig er en vigtig eksportdestination for de fattige lande, men ikke så vigtig som man tror og især gælder der jo det at de fattige lande tager markedsandele så selvom usa nu har været i recession i mere end 1½ år så er importen fra bl.a. kina og andre fattige lande jo fortsat med at stige bare med lavere vækstrater

så strukturen i verdenshandelen ændres kun meget langsont og den største ændring er den stigende samhandel mellem de fattige lande indbyrdes

hvor det er vigtigt at huske at boomet i mange fattige lande skyldes de stigende råvarepriser i de lande der producerer råvarerne og at det globale boom har meget at gøre med de to ting, 1. investeringer i råvaresektorerne - ikke mindst olie og kul/gas 2. boom i investering og forbrug i de lande, der producerer råvarerne

så ethvert tilløb til en svækkelse af væksten i de fattige lande, der kan få råvarepriserne til at falde er et klart signal til at vi kan få 1998 om igen uden at usa kan trække verden op så meget som de kunne i 1998-99

og derfor skal man kunne følge de indikatorer uden al den ligegyldige støj som diverse tåbelige og irrelevante indlæg har bragt på det sidste her på ihup

det, der har trukket den voldsomme vækst i hjemmemarkedet i kina er først og fremmest et boom i investeringerne på 25-30% om året og investeringerne udgør næsten halvdelen af økonomien i kina

så forbrugerne er slet ikke dem, der kommer i første række, når udenlandske virksomheder investerer i kina, det er salget i investeringsgode sektoren og infrastruktur, der kommer først

men da tingene hænger sammen og eksporten er steget med ca 20-30% om året i mange år og forbruget i reale priser er steget med 13-15% om året og boligbyggeriet og bilsalget med ca 25% om året i mange år

er det også investeringerne og de andre nævnte parametre, der trækker beskæftigelsen op og giver flere vellønnede jobs, som

så igen øger købekraften

og den er steget eksplosivt i de senere år

så kinas forbrugere sandsynligvis vil overtage funktionen som vækstmotor på hjemmemarkedet, når investeringerne flader ud med lavere vækstrater, men

foreløbigt er investeringerne ikke fladet ud, men fortsætter en ekstrem stærk vækst, der har varet nu i en supercyklus siden 2000 og sådan set også har været stærk, men mindre voldsom i 1990-2000

så alle indvendingerne fra hanne og gumse1 er helt hen i vejret og viser en total mangel på forståelse for de mekanismer, der styrer udviklingen i et land, der går fra fattigdom til rigsom på få årtier

og det nytter ikke en skid at tage ud og se på tingene med egne øjne, for der er intet at se, makroøkonomisk udvikling foregå nu engang ikke så man kan se den, for man ser bare det samme allevegne, at folk farer forvirret rundt i gaderne og ikke har penge nok til at købe deres daglige fornødenheder og folk, der beklager sig ligesom hanne og gumse1

nej de overordnede udviklingstendenser skal forstås ved at forstå de overordnede abstrakte parametre, som man netop skal sidde i ro og mag foran en computer og tænke igennem så man ikke bliver forvirret af almindelige menneskers forvirrede snak, som man møder allevegne når man rejser ud i en forvirret verden og åbenbart heller ikke kan blive fri for her på ihup

jeg vil da også gerne ud at opleve verden, men så er det ikke for at forstå økonomien, men for at møde spændende mennesker og dem findes der da heldigvis mange af rundt omkring og jeg har da også mødt en del på nettet bl.a. spekulant som jeg kommunikerer en del med i dag, man kan bare tage humle og cyber eller gedden og cloner som gode eksempler og der er mange af dem, der skrev tidligere som ikke skriver så meget mere fordi aktierne ikke går så godt for dem, men som jeg stadig kommunikerer med pr telefon og/eller e-mail, bare som eksempler hya, maestro, santaC, fisherman, zailor og andre. så vi er stadig et stærkt team, der selvfølgelig venter på bedre tider på aktiemarkedet, så bliver aktiviteten også meget højere

og så er der alle de negative idioter, hvor der åbenbart er et par stykker der er hoppet til ihop, og her må jeg gerne kalde folk for dumme svin, men det venter jeg med til der kommer endnu mere lort ud

og mht til spekulant så synes jeg det var meget upassende at agenten skrev her på ihup for at gå til angreb på mig under bæltestedet og bl.a. sige at vi laver ballade og personfnidder på spekulant, det var helt ved siden af det han skrev

det er jo netop det jeg ikke gør, jeg omtaler aldrig spekulant undtagen i de få tilfælde som nu, hvor det er klart at det er tidligere kontroverser på spekulant der får folk til at gentage angrebene på mig og humle personligt

men nu hvor hanne og gumsen sammen med agentens tidligere indlæg tydeligvis

bringer personfnidder til ihup

vil jeg bede jer om at pisse af

i er ikke velkomne

kapitalen fosser ikke ud af kina

den fosser ind

de har overskud på betalingsbalancen på 20-30 mia dollar om måneden

så kapital er det de mangler allermindst

boomer betyder at den økonomiske vækst er høj

uanset fra hvilket niveau væksten kommer

og høj betyder som regel +10-20% om året for industriproduktionen

og selvom et land er meget fattigt så

vil en meget høj vækst i mere end 10 år gøre mange flere indbyggere meget mindre fattige

kina har boomet i masser af år, mere end 20 år og der er ikke så mange tilbage, der er så fattige som de fleste danskere tror

hvorimod indien og afrika stadig er så fattige at de fleste indbyggere er meget fattige, men derfor kan det godt gå fremad alligevel

italienerne og tykerne var også meget fattige i 1946

men det forhindrede dem ikke i at blive rige allerede i 1960 fordi det 'boomede' i 50'erne og 60'erne og endnu rigere i 1973, hvorefter de er blevet fattigere igen fordi staten plukker dem med skatter, der smides ud ad vinduet til ingenting

koreanerne er reelt rigere end vi er i danmark og så sent som i 1985 var de ludfattige, så hurtigt går udviklingen i lande, der boomer

kineserne vil også være meget rige engang i 2015, langt over halvdelen af befolkningen vil have en levestandard, der er højere end den vi har i danmark

hvis man ikke kan forstå det er det fordi man er udannet i det danske uddannelsessamfund og medier, der bare koster skatter og beskæftiger lærere, der ikke kan gøre andet end at spilde deres egen og elevernes tid, koster skattekroner og som reducerer arbejdskraftsudbudet til fornuftigt arbejde

Det er de fattige lande, der trækker og holder os op ved håret.

Det er tydeligt overalt.

500-1100% vækst på 10 år. Industriproduktion, forbrug, investeringer. En salgsfremgang på 10 år af biler på næsten 1000%.

Det er ifølge dig et land i stor krise.

Held og lykke.

Jeg faldt over den anden artikel som du nok har læst.

Chinas top 20 smelters have agreed to a 10% reduction.

- nu kommer de nok og siger at kina falder fra hinanden.

Aluminiumproduktion er ekstremt energikrævende og det er sommer i kina nu.
De kasser der sidder uden på husene er ikke varmeapparater. Det er primært airkonditionering - til køling af luften om sommeren og de bruger meget energi. Der er sikkert nogen af dem der også kan varme lejlighederne op, men det har jeg nu aldrig set de gjorde.

Det kan kun give en kraftig stigning i aluminiumspriserne.

Jeg vender bøtten på hovedet og siger at de skal have installeret nogle flere solceller. De virker nemlig godt når folk går på arbejde og det er sommer i Kina.

Det er nok en god ide med alumina i australien eller andre der har power nok.

ABB er nok snart værd at købe igen. Den er noget langsom, men et fint firma, fin profil.

Det er rart at investere i et firma fra den vestlige verden, der nyder godt af, at den trækkes frem af de store investeringer i de fattige lande. Den slags firmaer har vi mange af. De fattige lande giver mig brød på borden hver eneste dag. Godt i disse subprime - boligkrise og resessionstider.

Man kan næsten ikke gøre det forkert ved at købe den. Timingsmæssigt måske lidt, men ellers ikke.

Det er da helt ok. Hvis i to dværge mener at de fattige lande kan trække sig selv og hinanden op ved håret skal i da have lov til at tro det i fred. Humle ævler om filter hele tiden så han kun behøver at læse sine egne og måske le,s indlæg, og le bliver rasende hvis nogen mener noget andet, han ser også helst at alle andre forsvinder. ...jamen så gør Hanne da det.
Det bringer jo alligevel intet at forsøge at få en debat igang med et par betonhoved. pip mig her og pip mig der.

Hanne

Du lever i din hel egen verden.
citat:
"og for at få del i historiens største boom i et hjemmemarked på 1.3 mia mennesker, der har et potentiale dobbelt så stort som usa, europa og japan tilsammen og som vokser med ca 17% om året på industriproduktion og investeringer på 25% om året og forbrug på 13-15% omåret

de fleste investeringer i kina fra virksomheder i den rige verden har efterhånden ikke ret meget med outsourcing at gøre, men tjener alene det formå at deltage i den ekstremt hurtigt vækst i verdens efterhånden største marked" citat slut

Hvad tror du der sker når kapitalen begynder at fosse ud af kina?

Renters rente, compounding.

Det går helt forbi 90% af alle mennesker. De kan simpelthen ikke forstå det. De kan ikke forstå noget hvor tal er involveret. De er talblinde og taldøve. De kan ikke få det ind i skalden om man så trampede dem oven i hovedet.

13% af eksporten fra asien går til usa og omtrent 14% til europa.
Resten går til landene indbyrdes i asien og en meget stor del til resten af de fattige lande i resten af verden.

Det er 27% i alt der eksporteres til den "rige" verden fra asien. Nææ de er selvdrevne i de fattige verdensdele i øjeblikket. Folk der siger, at det er os der giver dem arbejde og mad på bordet ved ikke hvordan tingene hænger sammen og de ævler bare TV kommentatorerne på TV efter munden..eller BT/Børsen.

Start med basen "100" - Efter 10 år..

Hvad er Industriproduktionene vokset med, investeringerne, forbruget.

17% om året på industriproduktion
investeringer på 25% om året
forbrug på 13-15% om året.

Man behøver ikke bruge andet end det her, og det er passende kaldt noget med chimp.
http://www.moneychimp.com/calculator/compound_interest_calculator.htm

Industriproduktionen 5 dobles
Investeringerne 10 dobles...ups..investeringer har det med at give noget produktion og afkast senere..
Forbruget 4 dobles

- og ingen af de størrelser viser nogen tegn på at blive svækket, så hvorfor skulle det ikke blive ved. Det er stadigt mange fattige områder, så det kan endda være tempoet stiger.

Det er fedt at have et godt filter, men bare man kunne..jamme..

Hvordan kan der vaere et hjemmemarked paa 1,3 mia.? Der er jo knapt 200 mill. mennesker ud af de 1,3 der har raad til at koebe andet end de allermest noedvendige fornoedigheder. Kina er fuldstaendigt afhaengige af det vestlige forbrug, det er os der giver dem mad paa bordet.
