No, a loan doesn't do that at all. You only need to see the price of housing to see that the vast amount of loans at market does not indicate anything about tomorrows market value. Arbitrage, and that sort of prudent speculation does. Today, unfortunately, it also allows for unrestrained robbery. That needs some paring back.

You just can't resist such absolute nonsense. In your 'second post' 2004-06 those 'liberal' lending scum wrote that shit-paper to package them and sell them to wall street who then got a AAA rating on it, peddled them to unsuspecting investors and foreign greed. Had nothing whatever to do with any leftists (in the minority in both houses) and what they did in congress. Fannie & Freddie had nothing whatever to do with the crash at wall street. They being typical greedy capitalist scum, saw big $$ and started to borrow to gamble [our] money on MBS's. (mortgage backed securities) It was the gambling casino of peddling crap as AAA paper and their outright fraud of wall street banks who are still getting away with financial murder now, that brought them down. Repubs, the rightists keep holding up via cloture, resisting regulation of wall street and their selling of shit paper now called derivatives as we type now. Who are you going to blame for the next bailout ? Obama of course and even though he trying to regulate the big banks and what they have done has been watered down by the repub rightists. But even that apparently will not stop you.

The price is going to fluctuate, responding to shortages and bounty depending on the weather that year. You want to live in a simplistic world where everything is always stable. It can't happen.

He doesn't know shit loads of farmers who don't know what futures are, first of all. No more than he knows a shitload of mechanics who don't know what tools are.

Sorry, but in the real world, prices fluctuate, and when the weather destroys a crop, prices soar. Really. Think about what you're saying. This is really basic stuff. Eliminate futures, and you'll have ONLY large corporate farms, because no one else will survive the risks against that competition. How corrupt and manipulated do you suppose THAT will be?

As what capitalism is...turning paper into money, it is a profit vehicle, nothing more. Yes, one can lose and lose big too if you time it wrong. Because there are billion$ thrown at speculation in commodities, it can and often does move prices. That price for those that are willing to be objective and learn, become the same thing they call it on oil...the benchmark price, i.e., the price at which all sales negotiation begins. The futures market then forces...yes forces producers to buy in order to hedge their capital for the insuing further speculation. Believe it or not kinkroids, depending on their timing, producers can lose money buying futures, but...they lose as little as possible. Anybody here actually tell me how producers can lose money investing in (buying) rising futures ?

Which brings us back to monetary policy. Go Ron Paul!

Real0ne -> RE: BREAKING: Ron Paul to Announce Presidential Candidacy Friday Morning on ABC Good Morning America 7 (5/13/2011 7:26:16 AM)
as MR pointed out there is more than one real world and you are cherry picking. As far as I am concerned its a cop out to simply sit back and say "well thats th eway it is" and presume that is the only "reality"

I've already pointed the answer to his question earlier. I'm not cherry picking at all--I'm pointing out the realities you're ignoring. Nor am I sitting back and saying "Well that's the way it is." I'm arguing for regulation, remember?

The reason regulations haven't worked is supplied by the whole greedy capitalist culture in the US. They'd much rather get $300,000 a year beating the regulators for Goldman, than $90,000 a year to regulate them at the SEC. Does anybody know how many regulators and especially those that didn't regulate, that have now gone on to work for wall street ? It would be a very interesting however depressing story.
