Is it possible for the dollar to be weak against some currencies but strong against others?
Q. We hear a lot of talk about how the dollar is so weak. When the dollar is weak, is it weak everywhere in the world, or is it possible that it can be strong against some currencies and weak against others? For example, could the dollar be very strong against the yen and very weak against the yuan at the same time?
Asked by bradwelljackson - Tue Jan 12 03:53:18 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Yes... Currency exchange rates between nations all depend on issues between those two countries. For instance, the US dollar might fall against the Canadian Dollar because Canadians have decided they don't need US Goods anymore, so they stop buying US Dollars. Whereas the US dollar is rising against the Mexican Peso because the economy in Mexico is tanking and Mexicans are loading up on US dollars and thus selling Pesos... Such a question is a case by case study on the issue at hand. Yes its possible for currencies to trade in different directions between nations.

What are the arguments against conservative Economics and where can I find information about it?
Q. I am looking specifically for an argument against the claim that taxes on employers are eventually paid by the employee. Other arguments against other topics are also welcome.

A. There are no arguments against being fiscally conservative [ not to be confused with being politically right-wing ], people misuse the words conservative and liberal.Fiscal conservatism is the economic philosophy of prudence in government spending and debt.In other words, a government does not have the right to run up large debts and then throw the burden on the taxpayer; the taxpayers' right not to be taxed oppressively takes precedence even over paying back debts a government may have imprudently undertaken. So a 'conservative' Govt. does not actually indulge in conservative economics , quite the opposite as they are more likely to be involved in wars, with the huge [ taxpayer ] cost these incur.

How can I bet against a general collapse in tuition? Against student loan portfolios?
Q. I believe that tuition and college attendance in the United States will collapse within the next 24-36 months. I don't want to hear your argument for or against that statement, however I would like to hear your suggestions as to how to profit from the collapse, should it occur. Can't say I wasn't expecting that reaction, gentlemen. The government pumped a lot of money into residential real estate financing. How did that turn out? Tuition is clearly a bubble, when it will pop is the only question.

A. Today in the news I saw that a major university was raising their rates up 35%. I think it was University of Georgia. I believe it was fox news. google "fox news tuition increases". Make sure you are not making a wrong decision. The governement is going to pump even MORE money to college students in loans. This is what caused the inflation in prices in the first place. All that free money allowed colleges to charge more. /

A. Try google scholar for academic research papers, there has been a lot of research done into gats education! I did a paper on this topic last year at uni, and something I found was that many studies found little or no academic advantage to these students to being put into a separate class. When gifted and talented students are in a mixed ability class, they are able to help other students (peer teaching) which is of advantage to all students (there is heaps of research on this too!) Hope this helps!

Is it against the law in California to park your car against traffic?
Q. My sister parked her car against traffic today and got a ticket. However, she didn't get cited for being parked against traffic, but for being parked more than 18 inches from the curb, even though her tires were no more than an inch from the curb! I think if it was against the law, that's what she would have been cited for. Any thoughts?

How does a loan indexed against a basket of currencies work?
Q. A couple of year s ago. I took out an auto loan and the lender in the country I am living in indexed the loadn against a basket of currencies. Everything seemed to be going fine until recently when the currency of the country I am living in started to depreciate against other currencies. I notice that my new principal took a hit in the upward direct by approximately the same percentage as the decline in the local currency so I now owe more than I did a year ago. If my currency here recovers to previous levels will the principal also go down?

A. The Ten Words (Exodus 34:28), or the Ten Commandments, were the basic part of the Law but were combined with about 600 other laws, all of which were of equal force and binding power upon the Israelites. James 2:10 states - "For whoever observes all the Law but makes a false step in one point, he has become an offender against them all." The Law contained many principles and guiding statutes. Among these: Sodomy carried death penalty for both persons involved (read Leviticus 18:22; 20:13) Animals prohibited for food were camel, rock badger, hare, pig (read Leviticus 11:4-8; De 14:7, 8) Fornication was disgraceful and punishable, especially in cases of engaged persons or married persons (adultery).

A. Hmm... there are no laws against the military draft in the United States. They would have contradicted the Constitutional clause awarding Congress authorization to "raise and support Armies." (Article 1 Section 8 Clause 12 ) The closest things got was Rostker v Goldberg (453 U.S. 57 [1981]). The implication was that conscription was illegal because it did not include women.

Asked by Jason A - Sat Jan 9 17:13:20 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. By selling short or purchasing Put options. Both require a Margin account and to be able to qualify for such an account, a credit check will be run on you as well as verification of your income and overall financial position. Because the use of margin as well as short selling and options contracts carry unique and at times severe risk, one can't simply open an account and start selling short. The brokerage is going to want to know they are dealing with someone with the means to sustain losses, should they occur and the ability to add funds to the account should a margin call be necessary.

A. The argument is not against "gay" marriage. It's against alternative definitions to marriage. We already define marriage in a moral sense. You cannot marry more than one person. You cannot marry before you are both 18. You cannot marry your horse, house or elbow. "Gay marriage" is a new idea. Previously, gays cohabitated, just like heterosexual couples. Now, this is used as an attack on marriage. "Marriage" is not a union open to gays, anymore than the "Boys" room is open to girls.
