It's what the bond market is telling the hurd. After a disappointing employment report raised fresh worries about economic weakness and the risk of deflation, investors scrambled to buy relatively safe Treasury bonds. Yield, which move in the opposite direction of price, fell to historic new lows. The moral of this is don't follow the hurd. The bond market has remained a picture of bearishness - not my cup of tea.

I would like to know where exactly is this so called DEFLATION they are PROMOTING? I don't see it, everything is rising in price that I see, must be deflation in stock prices or something that I'm not aware of? Everything I buy is more expensive, services are more expensive, electricity is more expensive, where are they hiding the cheap stuff? I SMELL SOMETHING! View attachment 9822

Housing has been cut in half.

The price of autos is still down.

I can tell you that going to a Padre baseball game is significantly cheaper. Gas isn't really doing anything. I bought some great work clothes early this year at vastly reduced prices. Hotel rates are way down. Airline??? Most stuff hasn't gone up in price. Some have actually dropped.

I wouldn't look at government or regulated services - they are monopolies.
 
My opinion. Iran just wants to be left alone. The US is the only nation that did a "first strike" with the bomb. Since they are not that hard to make, soon every 2nd and 1st world nation will have nukes. Having a nuke will make aggressors think twice before crossing their borders. Peace.

By the way, I bet there are many nations that have small suitcase nukes that the US intel knows about but aren't saying because they are on our side for the moment.

Positive rep for correct usage of their and there. :D
 
If Iran is able to get an operating nuke, I have no doubt it would be used as quickly as possible on Israel. Put a nuke in a radicals hands and no one is safe. The have no respect for human life if it does not meet their needs.
 
Thanks. During a 5 year period of my recent life, I read a lot. No TV. I also improved my writing in the following way. After finishing a letter or document, I'd read it as if I didn't know much about the topic. If the words and phrasing made good sense to a such a reader, then it was well written. I have made some gaffs in the past though.

I have found that at a place of work, if one can just write well and concisely, they will be acknowledged. Today, I often type it and let it fly since I don't have to be so responsible for what I say or write. I don't know which style is better actually. I do well writing conservatively and winging it. I appreciate that you did notice the proper use of 'their' and 'there'. That is basic stuff but can ruin the impression a writer wants to convey if not used correctly.

Now since I am considered a good writer, I better re-read this note.
I have also found that all on this board are good writers. That tells me that money and literacy equate.
 
I'll make typos from time to time. When I go back and find them and the time limit has run out so I can't edit my post I feel like such a dork. I think I have a problem...I really should get a life...but some people are just "too cool for school" and it drives me nnuuts!
