Invest in France and Germany??? Ahem, France is screwed, they are ready to be downgraded. Germany is facing a recession and the German population is annoyed to say the least that their Euros are bailing out the Eurozone.
The Euro banks are facing a crisis to say the least and are tightening up everywhere. Import-Export trade is facing increased credit costs as a result. And the end result is a global recession.
The Chinese are holding currencies such as the US dollar that are in work for devaluation and they have to play peg games to keep their own currency under, or else their trade market recedes and collapses. All other currencies face similar fates.
The Chinese are welcome to come to the USA and gobble up real estate like the Japanese did during the 1980s but then the Japanese got their butts handed to them by the end of the 80s. So come on down Beijing!
The Brazilians aren’t doing bad. They are good to invest in. I do business with Brazil and I know for a fact that the Brazilians can’t stand the Chinese. They won’t let the Chinese do squat unless it’s something that no one wants, in other words a bad investment.
No, the story on the Chinese is they sell cheap stuff and we give em cheap paper called dollars or treasuries.
We can get out of debt and ruin the Arab world in one week, withou firing a shot.
Drop a word with speculators to start shorting oil. Plant a story that oil the oil fields are secure and there is plenty to go around. Now start gong heavy into domestic production.
Get oil down to 30 bucks a barrel. Problem solved and as a benefit you kill global warming because alternative energy will be too expensive to develop.
