- What To Do When The Federal Reserve Finally Gets Serious About Inflation

Переслать - Special Report: Hit The BRICs For A Global-Investing Double Play
The Second of Two Parts.
By Martin Hutchinson
Global investors need to "hit the BRICs" – literally.
Back in 2003, the Goldman Sachs Group Inc. [[GS), eager to push its clients towards global investing – especially in the emerging markets – invented the acronym "BRIC" (Brazil, Russia, India and China) to represent the four emerging markets it believed were destined to become dominant economies in the years to come.

Переслать - Economic Blackmail?
It’s long been said that the U.S. relies on the kindness of foreigners to fund its ever-growing current account deficit. By the same token, our dependence on overseas investors and lenders also makes us vulnerable to external pressures that could be at odds with domestic needs and goals.

Переслать - Do They Teach Politicians Economics?
I ask this question with a straight face.
I ask because selling 70 million barrels of oil via a oil swap program amounts to introducing 3 1/2 days worth of supply into the marketplace, via a mechanism that can only release 4 million barrels a day/or 20% of our daily usage. Furthermore since our oil refineries are running at or near full capacity, and the oil companies have to pay back the oil anyway I don’t see how this will have much of an effect on gas prices.
I ask because I’m curious … [visit site to read more]

Переслать - When An ETF Shuts Down, You Don't Have To
The exchange traded fund (ETF) is an invention that is a boon to most investors. But as something grows, naturally there are going to be discussions about whether it's too much, too fast, too soon and so on. As ETFs explode in number and assets, it's no wonder that they've been the focus of such debates.
In 1993, the ETF was simple: create funds that hold every noteworthy security in a market that is worthy and make it trade like a stock while keeping fees and expenses to a minimum. In … [visit site to read more]

Переслать - Windfall Profits Tax: It's What They Do In Venezuela
In other words, a windfall is nothing more than a profit earned by a business that some politician dislikes. And a tax on that profit is merely a form of politically motivated expropriation. It’s what politicians do in Venezuela, not in a free country.

I've been rereading one of my favorite novels, “Atlas Shrugged,” and I came across a passage that made me think of the stock market. Well, not just the market, but the whole economy. One of the main characters is recounting a major disappoint in his childhood, which involves a great oak tree.

Переслать - Are We Counting Energy Chickens?
As oil prices continue to decline many analysts are trumpeting their beliefs that oil prices were a bubble. I say what we had was a spike in energy prices that brought us tomorrow’s prices today, and that you can’t start celebrating lower oil prices until we see oil prices continue to sink lower over a multi-year period.
Considering the pattern we’ve seen for oil prices over the past several years where a new high is followed by a price pull back, stabilization at a level that’s still higher … [visit site to read more]

Переслать - Why I Like American Express
Over the last couple of weeks, American Express (AXP) has become a favored whipping boy of the financial shorts, as they point to the company's recent bad quarter and exposure to consumer credit as reasons the stock will continue to decline moving forward. While the idea that Amex will continue to face problems isn't wrong on its face, what a lot of people are missing is the fact that Amex is still out-performing the other credit card companies and it took a year for the … [visit site to read more]

Ever since Meredith Whitney downgraded Citigroup, I’ve been a fan… and for good reason. Like me, Whitney believes the credit crisis is far from over, despite the clamoring talking head buffoons that think credit woes and housing debacles are bottoming.
Whitney even warned last year, and continues to warn, that the “incestuous” relationship between the banks and the credit-rating agencies during the real estate bubble will have a long-lasting impact on banks’ ability to … [visit site to read more]
