RBA Cuts Deep

Chuck Butler — Tue, 01 May 2012 16:02:06 +0000

That darn Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) really threw a cat among the pigeons last night, by not only cutting their interest rate, which was expected, but by cutting it by 50 basis points (one-half a percent)! While I had heard calls for such a deep cut, I really didn’t think the RBA would be [...]

QE3 Still an Option

Good day, and welcome to the last Thursday in April. As Chuck mentioned, I’ll be steering the ship today while he travels to Florida for some conferences, so the call to the bullpen has been made. All in all, it was a fairly quiet day, and if I had to make a call one way [...]

The Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) has made it official: After its latest two day meeting, it announced its goal to devalue the dollar by 33% over the next 20 years. The debauch of the dollar will be even greater if the Fed exceeds its goal of a 2 percent per year increase in [...]

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 [...]

It May Take a Dragon to Breathe Fire Into Markets

Frank Holmes — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 13:59:47 +0000

At the Cambridge House’s Vancouver Resource Investment Conference this week, I am part of a special debate on whether China will boom or bust with bestselling author Gordon G. Chang. The title of Chang’s book, The Coming Collapse of China, states his position quite clearly and I look forward to the intellectual challenge of convincing [...]

Hopes, Fears and Preparations for 2012

Bill Bonner — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 17:30:40 +0000

Prepare for the worst; hope for the best… Gold, stocks, oil…little movement yesterday. Michelle Bachman decided to drop out of the race for the White House. Pundits, pollsters, and gamblers predict that Romney will be the Republican’s man. Iran told the US to get out of the Strait of Hormuz. “And don’t come back,” it [...]

Euro Rallies on Positive IFO Index and a Successful Spanish Debt Auction

Chris Gaffney — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 17:10:22 +0000

The euro (EUR) sure enjoyed a better night rebounding from close to its annual low versus the US dollar. A surprisingly upbeat IFO business climate index combined with a pledge of more funds for the bailout and a positive Spanish auction to send the common currency higher. The IFO Institute’s index, based on a survey [...]

A New Theory of Government…

Bill Bonner — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 19:10:03 +0000

Not much to report from yesterday. Dow up 78 points. Gold bouncing around. All eyes are on Europe. If the Europeans can pull off a save…well, we’re all saved. At least for a few weeks. Maybe through the holiday season. The euro has been remarkably stable. It has never collapsed — despite all the talk [...]

Global Growth Hopes Fade

Chuck Butler — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 16:20:28 +0000

Right out of the starter blocks this morning, we have news from Germany that’s not good. In fact it’s downright awful… No it’s not a weak data print… And it’s not more Eurozone downgrades… What it is, is something I’ve had nightmares about happening here in the US! OK… With no further beating around the [...]
