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 [...]

Center Can’t Hold

Bill Bonner — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 20:19:04 +0000

Italy seems to have gone too far. Its 10-year bonds yields are back over 7%. It is “the beginning of the end” say analysts. But the end of what? When the going is good people have little patience for questions. They are too busy, earning and spending, buying and selling, and getting where they are [...]

Global Manufacturing Takes a Hit

Thu, 01 Sep 2011 14:53:15 +0000

Yesterday morning I told you that with the day being the last of the month, we could very well see some currency weakness, as traders square their books, and close out short positions in the dollar. And that’s exactly what I think we saw yesterday… The bias switched from dumping dollars to buying them, but [...]

The Broken Window Fallacy

Wed, 31 Aug 2011 20:50:44 +0000

So hurricane Irene is over with, but it didn’t take long for economic commentators to make fools of themselves. David Kotok is the chairman and chief investment officer of Cumberland Advisors. He was on the radio with Larry Kudlow, who asked him about the economic impact of Irene. Kudlow noted how Irene tracked over 1/10th [...]

Gold Turns Around and Rallies

Fri, 26 Aug 2011 15:06:20 +0000

Gold turned the table around yesterday, and instead of being on the chopping block, it was being added to, as the shiny metal rallied. It was pretty incredible to watch, given that gold was down $50 when it turned around to post a $15 gain… It almost erased the previous day’s $77 drop… But the [...]
