Here is what the deal is.....
Everything is this country is base on credit. Companies credit ratings rise and fall just like your FICO score, it depends on the financial health of that company. Now to relate this so that everyone is on the same page.
Take your House, say you owe $350,000
Take your Car, say $35,000
Take your Credit cards, say $15,000
Take your students loans, say $15,000
So you owe a total of $415,000
you make a decent living, say $100,000 a year
you bring roughly in $8K a month (fuck taxes, FICA, and all that shit right now)
you got $35,000 in 401K, savings, CD, stocks, etc.
your monthly payments on everything is $5,500
you 'save' $2,500 a month, cuz your baby mama hasnt sued yet.
One day, you come home, and EVERY creditor wants their money now, and in full, so now you gotta come up with $415,000!!!! WTF!!! You will be gutted, you gotta sell everything, savings, house, car, everything gone. AND you not going to get full market price for the stuff you selling, cuz everybody know you broke. you have nothing else to do, but file bankruptcy.
Now because the the dollar is low, and there is a recession, people arent buying stupid shit, only the essentials. Companies (almost all foreign) that grant credit on the multi-mill/billion dollar scale arent making any money off of U.S. anymore. So U.S. companies are being forced to deal with the global equivalent to Payday Loans stores, which REALLY fucks you (as we all know).
Macroeconomics and Microeconomics principles mirror themselves, only in Macro, it is on a much larger scale.
We, as black people, have to get financially sophisticated, because all these banks make 90% of their profit on the bottom 10% of their customers. Which is why when you fuck up your credit, everything is higher, when you think that, if you got less money, then you should pay less.
The country isnt as fucked as one is to believe, what is happening is that there is monumental shift wealth and power in the world. China has 1.3 billion people (U.S. only has 300 million), and there is global shift to make money off them and other emerging markets. Everything that we buy, damn near, comes from China, and these other emerging countries. This is why I say we are not as fucked.....Growing up (I am a child of the 70's), there was one car, one TV, one phone, in the house, now, every 12 year old has a cell phone, there is a TV in every room of the house, and you got two or three cars. There is no ordinary shit that most americans REALLY need, just extra bullshit that they dont (24' inch rims on that chevy, anyone). So the global markets are shifting to China and other places so that they can make that EVERYDAY money off of them (this is why we are paying more for Gas, because these emerging markets are demanding more). Dont keep leading you life, and think that shit like the Dow Jones, NASDAQ, etc. dont effect you, because they ALL do.
Good Night Bitches.....

consolidation word upActually what we are watching is the consolidation of the control of money in this country. The fact that this, Bear Stearns, etc, all take place on SUNDAYS when the markets are closed, and the general public is thinking about football and what's for dinner, than what is going on the world that will affect us.
Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae will be dumped on the American People to pay for,Bear Stearns was sold for pennies on the dollar.....The rich and powerful are consolidating.
The JP Morgan (Chase)/Citibanks/Bank of Americas are basically "Prop Joe" (from the Wire). They are bring everyone under one roof, one umbrella, but you have to buy from the Co-op...... but the general public doesn't really know it or gives a fuck. and all it take is a Marlo type of Mofo, to come along and fuck things up.....LOL (ok, it is not that simple)
Just know that there are some people, even in the worst of times, getting rich. Usually, they are the ones that's setting the rules for them to get rich.
The Federal Reserve was created by, and is controlled by the banks above, plus a couple more heavy hitters. So the Fed is going to do whatever the Chases/BofA's of the world tell them to do.
Have you notice the explosion of Banks everywhere, in Chicago you can't go two feet without seeing a Chase, or any other new branch. Gone are the smaller, neighborhood Banks.
One last thing, then I am really going to bed.....I cannot for the life of me remember why, but with the Exception of Bank of America, and you notice that BANKS do not use the work BANK in their names anymore. Washington Mutual Bank is just WaMu, Chase Bank (BankOne, First Bank of Chicago) is now just Chase, Harris Bank is now just Harris.
I think that they were all trying to get around proposal laws that govern banking regulation.....but I forget the actual exact reason....somebody on here knows I am sure, ya'll some smart mofo's....
damn- so gold on foreign exchanges is sold in us dollars too or you just mean here? like oil?Why is everyone talking about buying Gold? I know its used as a defense against the US dollar buy Gold is based on US Dollars so if the US Dollar falls, it will eventually take Gold with it.

Surprising there's no conspiracy theorists in this thread...
Still can't believe this shit; it was gonna happen eventually, but gotta admit; shit's fucked up.
the "greedy" are profiting from this, don't be a maroonI can't front; this is definitely a reality check for the greedy..
thanks for clarifyingWhere did you come to that conclusion? It's wrong. I could explain it, but I've stopped overwriting on BGOL for the most part. But buying currencies..ESPECIALLY the U.S. dollar really has nothing to do with buying something like Gold... the prices of the two are mutually exclusively and anything linking the two for the most part is confusing correlation with causation. The value of gold is not attached to the value of the U.S. dollar... and actually, historically, the value of one pretty much produces an opposite swing in the other..but it's not the actual price that causes the swing..

Check out the vids I posted above. The us dollar stopped being backed by gold under nixon. The real power of the us dollar was tied into oil.
