I'll be gunning for 1,000%+ returns when I come there. In between time i'll be making such from Zimbabwe's on-going economic recovery. Same story, different cast.

U r right. Timelines r tricky so i'll be watching the interest rates which will definitely be going up in years to come to absorb all that QE money that went to Wall street instead of the real economy. I will make 1,000% in Zim as it is coming from a low base and since post 2009, Zim has been using the USD as the official currency (from stocks to vegeis) so that's 1,000%+ returns in USD terms.

The new Zim economy/GDP is growing at 9-10% p.a using the USD. US GDP growth is stagnant - spot the difference??

Again, Bernanke is not going to raise interest rates, rates are lowered in a recession coz of inflation and raised in a bull market coz of deflation Econ 101. Now if we go through stagflation, iko shida. Whats your reasoning for raising rates coz of QE? This was done by printing money which was eventually consumed without results, so how does that justify raising rates? Say it with me, you only raise rates when the economy is doing exceptionally well to avoid deflation.
PS why do I keep getting a msg that you can only comment after 3000 seconds? How come you can do multiple posts and I cant?

About the posts, U have to rise up the ranks Madam Hello

At some point the money will start to find its way into the economy n since growth will be laggard...they'll b too much in circulation, interest rates up go up to mop up the excess. Its tricky but a great oppurtunity in the making.

Read my lips...rates will not go up in the US!!! At this rate, I should just place a $1,000 bet, go to www.bloomberg.com click markets, scroll down to key rates and check the Fed interest rates, they are on a downward trend. Unless you are talking about Libor. Cant believe we are having this convo, regardless of who the Fed chairman is, rates cant go up in a recession/depression, if they did the US would become worse than Zim.
About QE, most people have the wrong impression that Wallstreet was bailed out or given free money. NO, Wallstreet firms were loaned money with interest, and most were basically managed by the government in terms of what they can or cant do, until they paid back their loans. Thats why majority of the firms paid up those loans chap chap to avoid Government scrutiny. The Federal gov made a profit off of QE, but ask the average American and they think Wallstreet was bailed out for free. Republicans perfected this lie.
About rising up, that just sucks!!! I dont plan on rising up anytime soon since I rarely post, dont know who actually thinks its a good idea to dictate how much s'one can say according to rank. Just saying!!At this rate, I will not post again, im not used to working kienyeji like this, its a very bad idea to limit what pple can say coz of rank, who does that?? Ati Elder, I wanna be young forever. By the way keep bashing the US, utashangaa, I am very bullish on the US. After everything clears, China will be left holding debt on paper, watch this space. With that ciao, I'm not waiting another 50 mins to post!!

@Nabwire. The US has a downgrade from Dagong (Sino) & S&P...What's ur position on the direction US interest rates again?

U have a lot to learn. Stay tuned.

Zimbabwe needs aid to feed its people...that old crook destroyed the once 'bread basket of Africa'...it's not being an events manager...your thoughts are out of tune...out of synch sometimes..the old crook seized farms and gave it to his supporter now he is seizing companies http://thezimbabwemail.c...s-plans-to-meet-country’s-black-ownership-rules.html..look I know stupid S&P has downgraded the U.S...but the U.S economy is not doing that bad...look at the July Job numbers...an economy that can still create Jobs is not a dead one...you talk as if global events can not affect Kenya...look at horticulture & south..without strong forex inflows the shilling will continue to tank south and thus push the Kenyan economy into a coma...we should not celebrate a U.S downgrade...its a sad event...
