RBA Sounds Upbeat About Global Economic Growth

Chuck Butler — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:54:28 +0000

Good day… And a Tom Terrific Tuesday to you! Well… Yesterday, I realized that I couldn’t eat all day on Sunday, and expect to want to eat on Monday! But I’m ready to do so today! HA! I also realized yesterday just what a Donnie Downer I’ve been lately, with my insistence that there’s something [...]

The Problem with Contemporary Education

Bill Bonner — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:00:37 +0000

Several of the ‘Capitalism in Crisis’ thinkers — even those who should have known better — thought the government needed to invest more money in education. Kenneth Rogoff, for example, concludes that “improved education alone will not resolve the flaws inherent in today’s capitalism, but it [is an] essential first step down any path to [...]

Good day… And a Marvelous Monday to you! Congrats to the fans of the Big Blue, NY Giants, who are the Super Bowl Champions, after a very entertaining game. It’s very foggy out this morning here in St. Louis, reminds me of the time my beautiful bride and yours truly were driving home from Des [...]

Currencies Hold Ground Ahead of Jobs Jamboree

Chuck Butler — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:25:54 +0000

This morning, the currencies look pretty much like they did yesterday when I left the office… There’s still the Sword of Damocles hanging over the euro (EUR), in the form of Greek negotiations to obtain help from private lenders. This has dragged on now for over two weeks, and I’ve given up on it happening… [...]

Taking Back Habeas Corpus

Addison Wiggin — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 22:08:28 +0000

“I’m a little Ron Paulish,” declared bond king Bill Gross to CNBC. Recall from yesterday’s 5 that in his monthly letter, Gross groused that near-zero interest rates would hamstring developed economies and even “give a rise to commodities and gold as store of value alternatives when there is little value left in paper.” In a [...]

Who’s Still OK With Deficit Spending Now?

Chuck Butler — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 17:01:36 +0000

I had to laugh yesterday when the New York traders came in and didn’t sell the currencies right away… I said to myself, “Self, maybe the ‘big boys’ read the Pfennig and now know that I’ve uncovered their ‘game,’ so they have to lay low for a while!” HA! Whatever the case, the currencies held [...]

Gold in the Face of Facebook

Addison Wiggin — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:19:49 +0000

Stocks are up today. The major indexes have jumped 1%… for no obvious reason. There’s talk of a halo effect from the pending IPO of Facebook, which could file the paperwork as early as today. Oy… Talk about “riding on a smile and a shoeshine,” to borrow from Death of a Salesman. “You have 500 [...]

Manufacturing Growth Continues

Chuck Butler — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:41:40 +0000

I have to tell you what’s on my mind this morning after watching the price action again yesterday… I know, it’s just me, and no one else in the writing/analyst world will tell you this, because they have no proof… I don’t either, but that never stops me from saying what’s on my mind regarding [...]

Currencies Rally on Eurozone Agreement

Chuck Butler — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 17:15:38 +0000

The currency rally that stalled yesterday was back on last night… I have to tell you that I was up most of the night on Sunday and after getting poked and stuck at the doctor’s office yesterday, I went home, straight to my recliner and slept for the next five hours! Then I woke up, [...]

Trends that Won’t End

Addison Wiggin — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 22:01:52 +0000

U.S. taxpayers have lost $133 billion from TARP — the abominable acronym inflicted on us by former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson — a new report out this morning shows. We begin another week pulled in two directions: In one direction lie unresolved failures in policy… and the mayhem it has wrought in the financial system. [...]
