A Quarter Less than $1K, but Millionaires Rebound Smartly
I won't get into all the dogmatic arguments that surround the massive income disparity in the US, we've discussed them in many other pieces. (frankly I think wealth disparity - rewarding generations for nothing more than having the right genes - is a much larger problem the income disparity) We must however understand "it is what it is" and Wall Street has entire thesis (plural?) built around it [Sep 7, 2009: Citigroup - America; A Modern Day Plutonomy]
U.S. Addicted to Oil, An Ominous Drilling Sign for the Truth
9 Mar 2010 at 4:14pm
The year is 2010 and to anyone not in denial, the industrialized nations have entered the greatest calamity the world has ever known:
35 Million Americans on Food Stamps: 12 Percent of U.S. Population on Food Stamps Highest Since Records Kept in 1969, and that’s before the Obama administration announced a planned three-year budget freeze on government discretionary spending. (My Budget 360)
Unlocking the Jobs Dilemma
9 Mar 2010 at 4:00pm
Productive, private-sector jobs - the lifeblood of a sound economy - are under assault by politicians in the United States and Western Europe, who have unwittingly taken a number of steps that make future job losses a foregone conclusion.
U.S. Election 2010, Republican Power Bubble
9 Mar 2010 at 3:56pm
Forgetful of their own blown reputation, the more warfare end of the Republicrat Party is celebrating its looming ascendancy from this year’s federal elections. Nothing has changed in America's two-party politics, from the Republican point of view, despite the ongoing economic disaster. Republicans are going to crush Democrats in November no matter what because America’s economy continues to crumble under Obama’s rule just as it did under George Bush’s rule.
Gold Safe-haven Status is Based on Hype Not History

Gold: Best Supporting Role In Economic Downturns? Think Again
As I sat down to watch the Oscar pre-show on Sunday night, March 7, one word was repeatedly used to describe the celebrity starlets and their designer duds: GOLD. Gold bustiers and gold lame skirts, shiny gun-metal dresses and glittery sequined gowns all basking in the golden shadow of the final golden statue.
Iceland Votes No to Repaying Icesave Debt to Britain and Netherlands
9 Mar 2010 at 1:10pm
People in Iceland have rejected their government's pledge to repay a debt of more than US$5 billion left by the collapse of Icesave Internet bank. 93 per cent of people voted “no” in a referendum.
The European Union Debt Deflation Trap
9 Mar 2010 at 12:45pm
"The underlying principle flows from the financial balance approach: the domestic private sector and the government sector cannot both deleverage at the same time unless a trade surplus can be achieved and sustained. Yet the whole world cannot run a trade surplus. More specific to the current predicament, we remain hard pressed to identify which nations or regions of the remainder of the world are prepared to become consistently larger net importers of Europe's tradable products. Countries currently running large trade surpluses view these as hard won and well deserved gains.
Entropy, Why the World as We Know It Is Dying
9 Mar 2010 at 12:33pm
By David Galland, Managing Editor, The Casey Report
The concept of entropy is one of the most useful terms for understanding just about everything. While it has its origins in natural law – thermodynamics, specifically – the concept holds true pretty much across all closed systems.
Constructive Signs for Ultra Oil & Gas ProShares ETF DIG
9 Mar 2010 at 12:26pm
The Ultra Oil & Gas ProShares ETF (NYSE: DIG) popped above key Feb-Mar resistance at 34.40/50 to a recovery high at 35.05, after which it revisited the breakout level into this morning’s low at 34.25. This morning’s upside pivot reversal from 34.25 has propelled the DIG to a higher recovery high at 35.10 so far. The fact that the price structure is holding above the breakout plateau (34.25) within a larger base-like pattern that projects to 37.50 next is a very constructive sign. At this juncture, only a decline that breaks 34.25 will begin to compromise the developing bullish scenario.
U.S. Treasury Bonds, It's All The Same Trade!
9 Mar 2010 at 12:22pm
One of the frustrating aspects about this market environment is that all assets look like the same trade. Betting on equities is a bet against bonds or vice a versa, betting on bonds is a bet against equities. It is that simple. Consequently, using a tactical asset allocation strategy makes it hard to diversify away my risk as I end up being all in on essentially what has become the same trade.
U.S. Real Estate Confusion or Lies?
9 Mar 2010 at 12:19pm
Do you ever become confused over daily economic data?
If not, then you probably aren’t paying close attention.
The Scandinavian Socialist Welfare Myth Revisited
9 Mar 2010 at 12:04pm
Markus Bergström writes: Obama seems hell-bent on expanding the US welfare state at any cost, and of course no welfare-state debate is complete without bringing up the Scandinavian countries as the perfect example of massive statism bringing prosperity. This seems to be a real conundrum, even for Austrians and other libertarians. Being a citizen of Sweden myself, I am often asked to give an explanation of these "bumblebee economies" that aren't supposed to be able to fly but still do.
Stocks Unhappy Anniversary
9 Mar 2010 at 10:51am
Today marks the one-year anniversary of what proved to be the low-point for risk assets in the post Lehman Brothers meltdown. However, as is typical in the wake of a US non-farm payrolls report, markets were pretty subdued overnight. Whilst Asian bourses rallied strongly yesterday in catch-up to Friday’s US price action, most key bourses in Europe have closed virtually unchanged Monday as did those in North America (indeed the S&P 500 traded within just a 4 index point range).
Fraud, Mastered by the Criminal Banking Industry
9 Mar 2010 at 7:32am
I have discussed the financial industry on numerous occasions. My sentiment has not changed.
Those looking for some kind of investment “payday” should stay clear of the banks as an investment. The risk is still very high.
