What's the chance the our government can peacefully merge or acquire another country? Maybe we can work our way out of this.

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2079rank.html

can someone explain to me the difference between 'world debt-external' and the total globalized CDO's that are detailed in the first original article. the first article says that the global CDO's total 485 trillion, and the cia site states our world's debt at only 53 trillion as of 2004.....

can someone explain to me the difference between 'world debt - external' and 'global collateralized debt obligations'....the original article states that these CDO's are totalling 485 trillion, and the cia site states our world debt at around 53 trillion as of 2004....?

The original article states the value of "derivatives" at $485T, not "CDOs".

It's a fairly complex topic. I can point you to two sources to try and help sort it out.

1. An article that was written in 2003 when Warren Buffett, the next Treasury Secretary , warned of the impending disaster related to Derivatives.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/2817995.stm

Money quote: "Some derivatives contracts, Mr Buffett says, appear to have been devised by 'madmen'."

2. Wikipedia's entry on CDO's

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collateralized_debt_obligation

If you have any additional questions, you can find me in the corner of my office curled up in the fetal position.

We are hovering in and around the numbers you posted. Bold move picking the bottom of the S & P and Dow. If you turn out to be correct within a couple percentage points it will be amazing. I guess you know I'll be watching.

See ya

The Bull has been castrated!
Now, the good news. The very fact that I posted this should be a great contraindicator. Today, today should be the bottom at 11:30 A.M.

=no Ejaculation.

I think we are at the bottom today.

I'll admit, we're closer to the bottom than the last time you called the bottom.
