0q0 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Busted? Probably. Unless he'd hit the sauce or was just doing a wind-up for some obscure reason. Looks fishy that the real Realistbear is not around to answer, so someone may have taken that as an opportunity to misquote him? Of course, others could say R/bear is gone as "crash is over" but I'm sure I'd have heard about it had he posted that recently. So looks like an opportunist wind-up or hack.

huw Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 The pound has lost ~30% so far. If we go the way of the Krona, as Keiser says, then we only have a little bit more to fall. 40-50% is not 'Virtually all of it's value'. It is less than half of it's value. This guy clearly knows his stuff and I am sure he will get many things spot on. However on this subject he has not bothered to check the details. Also, referring to it as a "thing of beauty" suggests he has more invested in this than a pure intellectual position If sterling really does lose almost all its value, think about the global systemic implications. It would mean our economy is fracked to the point where we wouldn't be able to service debt, even if we still wanted to. How much do we owe the rest of the world again? Would anyone find that outcome to be a thing of beauty? Everybody can decide for themselves, if Keiser turns out to be right. I wonder if he's long shotguns and sacks of beans?

MOP Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I found this interview (BBC I think) with Keiser responding to the G-20. He basically says: G-20 has thrown gasoline onto the fire. More bank failures to come. Brown is a compulsive gambler. UK needs to raise rates now and stop bail outs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK needs to raise rates now and stop bail outs. Can't argue with those nor probably the others. FWIW Obama erred, hinted or slipped something in about more European bank failures to come - I posted a thread just after he said it.

Method Man Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I didn't sign onto HPC to see the end of the world unfold. Like a lot of other HPC'ers, I just wanted house prices to come down to a less stupid level - not this kind of outcome. These kinds of "The End is Nigh" predictions are scary, and I pray that they all turn out to be so much hot air. Mind you, they probably said similar prayers in the Weimar Republic and Zimbabwe too. to be fair youve only just joined. houses have been coming down in price for ages.

More bank failures to come. Brown is a compulsive gambler. UK needs to raise rates now and stop bail outs. I actually agree with that, but bear in mind that higher rates will lead to more defaults and contraction, and that a strict no-bailout rule + failing banks + protected retail deposits is a circle that can't be squared. In other words I don't think many people appreciate exactly how much pain it would involve (I'm up for it though ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloo Loo Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 hyperinflation and house prices. what i cant see is how house prices will initially rise at the serious prospect of hyperinflation....any banks,for they are the highly paid geniuses, will stop lending immediately, for they will recover naught as defaults destroy them. without lending house prices will fall. LATER, they will rise as but continue to fall nominally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
