Nobody Understands Debt

FEB. 9, 2015
Paul Krugman

Many economists, including Janet Yellen, view global economic troubles since 2008 largely as a story about “deleveraging” — a simultaneous attempt by debtors almost everywhere to reduce their liabilities. Why is deleveraging a problem? Because my spending is your income, and your spending is my income, so if everyone slashes spending at the same time, incomes go down around the world...........

i think the World Economy runs on debts more then anything else. If everyone don't want to lend because don't know who(borrower) to trust, then 2008/2009 may happens again. Capital moving as debt is so much more important (larger) than equity.
Will oil prices collapse, trigger bond market reaction(perhap chaos) or even collapse.

1) Rule # 1, do not lose money.
2) Rule # 2, refer to # 1.
3) Not until you can manage your emotions, you can manage your money.

Truism of Investments.
A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return
B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return.

NB:-
My signature is meant for psychoing myself. No offence to anyone. i am trying not to lose money unnecessary anymore.
