Back to WaMu, how long do you give them before TSHTF? A week? A month? A year? Whichever it is, I need to get my $$$ out of that place fast.

Ja, er hat es recht. Ich habe gedacht, dass du ein Deutscher warst?

Who's got an account? Do you like it? I've read their customer service sucks, but for a 4.76 introductory APY and 2.26 after that, I think it's worth it. Any little thing to help me combat the current/coming inflation. Plus they're posting record profits, unlike most of the banks these days...

Haha, I know, but as a poor college student, I have few choices with my limited assets. I've put about $800 in silver rounds, next I'm looking to open a high interest account with Everbank. If you've got a better idea for someone like me, let me know.

Does this mean I should take all of my money out before it become Washington Mutual Federal Bank?

Only one day after the Fed cuts the Fed Funds rate by .25%, the US dollar surges on the index and PMs lose 3-4%! Is this bizarro world? The money supply's expanding yet again and the value of a dollar's going up?! Can anyone explain to me what's going on?

As many of you may have gathered from my last thread, I'm pretty young and very inexperienced in all things investing. I do, however, have a sincere interest in learning about the topic and one day becoming quite the savvy young investor. I have heard Peter Schiff and others mention foreign...

How are they not worth a whole lot more? The dollar is in the tank yet PMs (silver and gold, specifically) are losing value every day. What's the deal? Was I dumb to invest so much of my hard-earned wages into silver? I'm not panicking, but starting to wonder what course of action to take next.

We are governed by resolutions. Anything the General Assembly does is basically a suggestion. Only the Security Council can make rules that have any bearing, and currently we can single-handedly veto any of those. If we were to leave, though, that would no longer be the case.

Garfield got shot.

Perhaps that is the case now, but even military superiority doesn't last forever. Russia, for one, is making immense headway in military technology. China is not far behind. Beyond that, not all breeches of sovereignty involve military invasions. If we're not there to veto, we could face...

True enough, but the UN is becoming so powerful now that to leave could mean even greater breeches of our sovereignty than may currently exist, e.g. the SC saying we have violated a country's territorial integrity and action therefore must be taken against us. If we're not there to veto, we...

As much as I hate the UN, pulling out would be disastrous. We have a huge amount of power as one of the permanent members of the security council, and withdrawing from that spot would lose us our veto power. This would give Russia and China free reign and could lead to even worse things for the...

Amero, anyone?

I never thought I could hate American soldiers so much.
