Brazil and the Spirit of Liberty

Jeffrey Tucker — Thu, 17 May 2012 20:57:22 +0000

My most surprising findings in Brazil, aside from the amazing fruits that I didn’t know existed because the US government doesn’t think I need them, were the young American kids who have moved here to find economic opportunity. This I had not expected, but now fully understand. Brazil is a marvelous and massive country where [...]

Why the World’s Unemployed Youth are Flocking to Brazil

Joel Bowman — Wed, 16 May 2012 20:14:07 +0000

Man wasn’t supposed to labor like this. Not under these conditions…with a clear view of a clearer sea…a white sandy beach below his room…the sound of the crashing waves gently carrying through his window… …and his head stuck firmly in his computer screen. But we will soldier on, Fellow Reckoner. We will ignore the blissful [...]

Thoughts While Sitting in Chilean Traffic

Chris Mayer — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 20:00:06 +0000

Sometimes good investment ideas are stupidly obvious. I recently read about Mark Lightbown, who used to run the Genesis Chile Fund. Author John Train described him as a quirky and well-mannered Englishman who traveled with a shopping bag full of his effects, on the theory that no airline would ever make him check it. Anyway, [...]

It’s a New World, and America Is Not Leading It

Jeffrey Tucker — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 17:52:26 +0000

I’ve followed Chris Mayer’s work for many years, and come to admire his capacity for seeing around corners with unusual prescience. He was warning of a housing bust, and explained precisely how it would play itself out, fully two years before the reality dawned on everyone else. Here is why I think his new book, [...]

A Shout-Out to Myanmar!

Dan Denning — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 17:23:45 +0000

Congratulations to Myanmar (or Burma, as many of us still call it)! The country held elections last week for 45 of the 664 seats in its Parliament. Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy won 43 of the 45 contested seats. The decision to gradually democratize Burma’s political process was made by Burma’s ruling [...]

The Biggest Fire Sale in History

Chris Mayer — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 21:21:20 +0000

It’s going to be the biggest fire sale in history — and it begins in 2012. Europe’s banking sector holds 2½ times as many assets as the U.S. banking sector. It’s huge. And it’s in big trouble. Europe’s banking sector needs cash — mountains of cash.

The Next Big Story in Asia

Chris Mayer — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 19:43:54 +0000

“It’s like Thailand was 50 years ago,” Alexandre de Lesseps told me. We were talking about the next big emerging market to bloom in Asia. It may surprise you, but it is one heck of a story… and opportunity. It also fits our grand thesis on emerging markets and is the subject of my upcoming [...]

Opposing Trends in Debt and GDP Growth

Bill Bonner — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 20:25:01 +0000

$100 billion down… $40 trillion left to go! Hey, don’t hold us to those figures. But yesterday European sages cut another deal to stave off the truth. Instead of defaulting openly and honestly — as Greece has done over and over again ever since 1827 — the Greeks will be ‘rescued.’ Sayeth Lucas Papademos, the [...]
