A European Crumble
“…peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none.”
Century. It seems like the 21st Century may be disastrous in its own right, not on the battlefield but in the financial markets.
What this means for the average investor is simple. The EU is going to fall apart; it is just a matter of time. It could be next year or next decade, it is really hard to say. As long as there remains one economic policy for all EU states, they are in a heap of trouble. Let’s keep an eye out for rate hikes from the ECB. The next one just might be the turning point for the greenback/Euro relationship.

The Tale of the Market Pundits
In this era of 24 hour sound bites, its hard to get an accurate description of what the pundits are saying. One minute we're out of the recession, the next we're in the middle of Armageddon. Case in point, Nouriel Roubini, the famous NYU professor. Everybody wants his opinion, but the end result is somewhat muddled.
Its about time Roubini makes up his mind. Today he correctly stated that the unemployment problem in this country is disastrous, but he needs to be more clear with his outlook, especially now that the markets tend to move when he speaks. Sometimes he states that we are headed for a V shaped recovery, but then other times he states that things will get a lot worse-
What is the bold policy action that he recommends?
He must be joking. The last thing we need right now is for the government to spend more money...that we don't have!
