Hooray for hyperinflation and the devaluation of the dollar...

Do you even know what hyperinflation is? According to RP, its anything about 0%. What's yours ohh master of economics?

Well I definitely don't know what an "RP" is, but you could say my definition of hyperinflation is pretty similar to the definition as stated on Wikipedia:

In economics, hyperinflation is inflation that is "out of control," a condition in which prices increase rapidly as a currency loses its value.
...
The main cause of hyperinflation is a massive and rapid increase in the amount of money, which is not supported by growth in the output of goods and services.

Exactly. It's not like any of us are leaving the country so you might as well buy the stock and keep for a long time. You will help us recover from this potential recession and you will make a lot of money in the end.

So you think inflation is out of control? I think it isn't horrible.

That's just it. Inflation is bad (no, not horrible), but rate cuts make it worse. The rate cut today on top of the proposed tax cuts = more pain in the near future.

Nothing. It's a dip, not Armageddon. It's a good time to buy though.

Provided real wages keep up with inflation over time, then it isn't bad. Furthermore, short-term inflation that can be managed is much better than a precipitous drop in the economy.

I love narrow minded people. They think they can define everything by either inflation or...inflation. nevermind that if the market tanks then millions will lose their jobs in the next few months, international money will flee from the US, and we could likely go into a depression. Yup, a small period of inflation is *much* worse than a massive short-term depression that will disrupt the whole country.

Why aren't you running things?

heck, between the deflationary pressures of falling asset values and the inflationary pressures of rate cuts, i wouldn't be surprised if the inflation rate remains steady. unexpected low inflation isn't any better than unexpected moderate inflation.

Capital flight? Aren't more people investing in US financials? Last time I checked Citibank got almost 10bn from foreign investors. There is no major capital flight. The dollar has to be revelued in light of a lower rate and somewhat higher interest. This is completely different from revaluation due to economic collapse.

So really you admit rate cuts are mostly bad for USD still.
You're a banker, you must know 10B is a piss in the bucket on forex markets.
Besides, supposedly the terms of the citi "investment" were extremely unfavorable.

I will admit is bad for the USD, but against other variables, is it as bad? No.

What does Forex markets have to do with C investments?

So what? If you're going to put money in, why not extract your pound of flesh? It doesn't mean that you think your investment is worthless. I do the same thing.
