‘why save when the value of the investments you own is increasing at rapid rates?’

The economy is far from headed for a recession. Life is good in America and griping Democrats should sit down and shut up.

The pundits have finally run out of bad news to report from Iraq, where, unmolested by the morbid fascination of misery-seeking reporters, the locals actually seem to be belatedly enjoying the first fruits of their liberation. So attention has turned again, as it has tended to do from time to time these past 50 years, to the inevitable collapse of the American economy.Says it all.

Yep. Liberals are so fixated on doom and gloom they can't take their heads out of their asses and see the sun is shining and every one else is happy with life.

Every party ends. When the current party ends, the us dollar, us stocks, and us bonds will be the place the world turns to for safety and calm. They did in 1994+, they’ll do it again soon enough.

I was in Europe (France and Italy) last week on business and I thank my Lord that I live in the US. Europeans are poor compared to us, period.

Bingo. And what, pray tell, would be the alternative country in which to invest?

It’s great news for us at the year end when we plan a trip home to the US. From 115 to 110 yen per dollar in the space of a week makes a big difference.
To: DennisR
We’re the only place, of size, that can be used to safequard from a declining currency, gold, oil, shrinking economy, etc. Not only do foreigners come into our market, but US investors that have been overweight those assets, come back too.
To: PotatoHeadMick
Dollar down US doomed arguments are so inherently bogus.
This article barely scratches the surface.
Lower dollar means more export power for our companies.
Additionally, the up and down of currency valuations is largely meaningless. We have 40 trillion in assets. The world has not choice but to come to us.
The rest of the world is demographically doomed.

We are always saying “Buy American”. With the declining dollar, American made products are looking great price-wise, to the foreigner. Vacations to the U.S. should be up next summer, with hordes of Europeans visiting and spending.

The reason we don’t save is that we have a very large capital stock already.

The decline of America is greatly exaggerated.
