The Austrian School is a heterodox school of economic thought that emphasizes the spontaneous organizing power of the price mechanism. Its name derives from the identity of its founders and early supporters, who were citizens of the old Austrian Habsburg Empire, including Carl Menger, Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk, Ludwig von Mises, and Nobel laureate Friedrich Hayek.[1] Currently, adherents of the Austrian School can come from any part of the world, but they are often referred to simply as Austrian economists and their work as Austrian economics.

Republican U.S. congressman Ron Paul is a firm believer in Austrian school economics and has authored six books on the subject.[36][37] Paul's former economic adviser, Peter Schiff,[38] is an adherent of the Austrian school.[39] Jim Rogers, investor and financial commentator, also considers himself of the Austrian School of economics.[40] Prominent Chinese economist Zhang Weiyin, who is known in China for his advocacy of free market reforms, supports some Austrian theories such as the Austrian theory of the business cycle.[41]

butterfly seems to have a problem with Austrians just because I am one. Are you going to throw that book away now ?

Its economics, not journalism.

They created nothing new, they just figured out how economics really works. That is why guys like Peter Schiff, Jim Rogers and Marc Faber can predict things before they happen.

Send me that Jim Rogers book, I haven't read that one.

no they didn't, they are simply projecting how they think it should work

that's because they use common sense, and they are not alone to have predicted things, thousands of investors did, yet didn't publicize it

What Marc Faber said was an open secret, and you will find it's often the case with those kind of predictions, the information was there, you just have to use it instead of being greedy

Jim Rogers is what we call a "value investor", a lot of common sense that doesn't require to have a Phd to make good investment moves

commodities futures have an interesting diversification value if you can structure it right, but as he said in his book, most of the Commodities Indices out there are biased and will perform poorly over the long run, making them poor investment even when everything go up.

Can you rephrase that?

The mind boggles. He was NOT wearing lederhosen. What was he wearing? Anything?

And what were you wearing?

Must have been a fascinating conversation.

No. There is allot of things only the austrains are saying now that is not an "open secret" but a reality that only austrians recognize.

Only mostly austrians are talking about a traasury/US dollar bubble now, just like they where the only ones talking about a housing bubble in 2004 to 2007.

He is on the Austrain wiki page, just sayin

Rogers had his daughter(s?) quite late in life, and has mutated into one of the SZS/Teakdoor buffers on the subject, extolling how wonderful it is to be a Dad-specifically-of-the-Jim-Rogers-type, and demanding everyone pay attention to him droning on about his sprogs.

Not personally liked among journalists, unlike Faber, who is.

Mark Mobius also fairly well liked in spite of (or perhaps because of) being an enormous whoopsie.

those nutters would make all kind of claims involving celebrities just to establish some credibility. He might share some thoughts with the Austrians, like many of us would, but that hardly means that he is in reality. Like if they were having socialist thoughts would mean that they are actually socialists.

What fucking nutters ?

The Austrian economists like Schiff, Faber, Rogers and Keiser ARE the establishment Austrain economists.

It is not a club, a political movement or anything of the sort. It is proper economics.

If you ever have a hope of making money or understanding economics then you better stop bashing austrian economics.

down a little I would think. Political bs has been going on in Thailand for ever now, investors don't seem to care about it as much. Its always priced in.

^
I think investors have realised that changing political leaders every few years actually gives them less time to do any damage.

Heaven help us if we get someone like Thaksin or Abhisit running the country for too long.

Thaksin was milking the country dry and Abhisit is a bureaucrat who couldn't run a whelk stall.
