Economics Might become a passion Economics, 081024 So, I have been reading up on economics. A few weeks ago I did not know anything about theses things, but I am slowly getting that hang of the lingo. Subprime, hedging, shorting, bear n bull market and so forth, it is really not that difficult to understand. Now when I can relate to these notions, I find Nouriel Roubinis blog most frightening. He is damn sharp, to the point and the picture he is painting is ugly. As I understand it, the current recession could be protracted. Accordingly to Roubini there is even a risk for global deflation. Now that is scary. So if that would happen, one would rather like to have cash then have the money invested in equities. However, as I read somewhere a deflation is such a severe state that it can not be tolerated and therefor inflation will have to be stimulated. If that happens, one would as I understand ones capital could loose value if not invested. I guess that what one had to do is to keep following up on the market. Both advanced and emerging markets are being affected and there is also talk about USA loosing its position in the global economy. Well, I know like nothing about this stuff but I have seen some curves on how much USA has been borrowing these last years and as Roubini points out, Asia has been the producer. God damn, now things are like happening all over the world and wow feels as though anything can happen. Besides economy I have been reading up on framework architecture. I think I now understand the difference between toolkits and frameworks. I have also done some pretty cool code wrapping and now I know how to create cross platform java programs, i.e. applications that can run both as Applets, Midlets, standard Applications and that fact that they are using different APIs simply does not have to be a problem. - Aramis
