The Doom and Gloom Thread

Thank you, Ready2MoveIn, sid_earth. And I thought I was pessimistic about the world economy based on what (little) I knew. You guys know more than I do.

The Doom and Gloom Thread

The Doom and Gloom Thread

avasanth, I would like to add to your post: Gold price is not free market determined, it is fixed, twice a day, by 5 players. It is called Gold Fixing (what else?) :) [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_fixing[/URL]

Buying a Car in India

Hi all! Has anyone thought about a Tata Indica Vista? I have had good experiences with this car (rental, hired for a New Delhi - Uttarakhand trip), the overall impression is that of a comfortable yet sturdy vehicle, with the diesel not being too much of an inconvenience. Never drove one though.
