- Is China Manipulating The Yuan? Should We Care?
According to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner (in his testimony before the Senate Finance Committee):
President Obama - backed by the conclusions of a broad range of economists - believes that China is manipulating its currency. President Obama has pledged as President to use aggressively all the diplomatic avenues open to him to seek change in China’s currency practices. While in the U.S. Senate he cosponsored tough legislation to overhaul the U.S. process for determining … [visit site to read more]

Although more and more people are starting to see the similarities between current economic conditions and those that existed 80 years ago, many differences of opinion remain about where we are in the cycle.

Переслать - Stocks Begin Week With Tentative Gain
On a very back day for US employment, there was 71,400 job cuts announced. Still equity indices managed to eek out some meagre gains with the blockbuster Pfizer/Wyeth merger, a bullish statement from Barclays, solid earnings from the ever dependable McDonalds and better than expected existing home sales numbers bringing some relief. So a day when investors chose to see the glass as half full. I remain highly sceptical, particularly of tech stocks.

After last week’s strong gains, gold continued to surge in all currencies yesterday reaching new record highs in euro and pounds sterling.

It’s been no secret that gold prices have been creeping up lately. At just over $900 per troy ounce, gold has run up over $90 in the past 16 days. And while we haven’t reached last year’s record price of $1002.80, moving over $900 is significant.
To put things in perspective, gold has only moved above $900 for a few brief periods historically - gold prices we’ve only seen in early 2008. If you’re looking at ways to invest at these prices, the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD) is an easy way … [visit site to read more]

Proposed Economic Stimulus Plan May Not Stimulate Much
The new administration is proposing an $825 billion “stimulus” plan.

Well, my post on Barclays (BARC), yesterday proved to be right. Today was a day the markets decided that perhaps Barc and its muckers are not quite as screwed as we thought. Interesting to note that Barc’s write-down loss was actually as much as RBS, sans ABN-Amro.
