Government Doesn't Rule the World, Goldman Sachs Does

Trader on the BBC says Eurozone Market will crash (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aC19fEqR5bA#ws)

Interesting video...not sure how we as individuals can really prepare for this. I think we are more safe here in the States but if the Euro collapses as is looking likely will that make the dollar stronger? Even if it does won't the worldwide recession get worse? T bills don't seem like safe harbor to me. What do you guys think?

[Conley]

Even though gold is ridiculously high right now, it probably makes sense to buy in. The euro is going to collapse, people will be looking for 'safe harbor' and the dollar is too exposed I think to really benefit. Treasury Bills aren't pay crap right now with these interest rates. I would guess a gold index fund would be the way to go.

Are those llamas? Is that a Maya reference?

It's an Alpaca reference.

Alpacas are beautiful, Busey not so much >:( >:(

That's Nick Nolte, although he was probably separated at birth from Busey.

Yes. There's also a wet dog. All three appear similar.

Connect the dots...

I'm beginning to think I'm not going to get any good financial advice out of this thread. :-\

Ah I was never a good conversation partner with this stuff. The best I could come up with was something about llamas and even that was wrong. :-[

:D They could be related. Probably are. I'll research that shit.

So it's a common mistake:

Alpaca (Vicugna pacos) is a domesticated species of South American camelid. It resembles a small llama in appearance.

Alpacas are kept in herds that graze on the level heights of the Andes of southern Peru, northern Bolivia, Ecuador, and northern Chile at an altitude of 3,500 m (11,500 ft) to 5,000 m (16,000 ft) above sea-level, throughout the year.[1] Alpacas are considerably smaller than llamas, and unlike llamas, alpacas were not bred to be beasts of burden but were bred specifically for their fiber. Alpaca fiber is used for making knitted and woven items, similar to wool. These items include blankets, sweaters, hats, gloves, scarves, a wide variety of textiles and ponchos in South America, and sweaters, socks, coats and bedding in other parts of the world. The fiber comes in more than 52 natural colors as classified in Peru, 12 as classified in Australia and 16 as classified in the United States.[2]

Shit just got real in Bolivia.

I bet they sleep together on cold nights...it gets lonely up there in the Andes...

;D I'm sure you can get seriously contemplative out there tending a herd of alpaca.

Who'd you rather, Olive Oil or the Alpaca?

You know, with a face like that I bet she has a smokin body.

You know maybe that's not Olive Oil...it is something familiar looking though. Can't quite place it.

It's rough. At least the alpaca won't ask to see you again. :-\

Poor girl. I'm still not convinced her face hasn't been distorted.

:D I can just imagine the Alpaca following you everywhere. On the plains of Bolivia, there's nowhere to hide! :o :o

Yes, much like the fat chick from earlier today, I will believe that girl's face is distorted too. That will make me feel better about making fun of her and keep me from feeling sorry for her at the same time. Cap'n is right though I bet her body is smoking. ;)

[Captain Obvious]

Sounds like you're suffering from karma deficiency disorder there, Con.

[Conley]

Yeah I have all kinds of problems. Life is a struggle but what can you do ??? :-\ ;D

[Captain Obvious]

You ok? I hope nothing heavy is going on.

Oh yeah, I was just speaking in generalities. Everything is great here...so good I expect it not to last! Thanks for asking though.
