Latest | Highest ratedGoldman Sachs Just Can't Feel the Love [View article]
How does trading billions of dollars worth of equities every day create jobs in Main Street? It doesn't. Their prop desk reminds me of the market timing debacle in Wall St about 6-7 years ago.
World Trade Organization Warns, Gold Rises, IMF Talks, U.K. Loses Credibility [View article]
I certainly was discounting unemployed people not on benefits. I think the whole article shows I am cynical to our 'leaders' and sympathetic to those who are struggling. I totally agree with you.

Tibman's 'The Murder of Lehman Brothers' [View article]
Lehman Bros. wasn't murdered. It committed suicide via an overdose of greed and financial risk ignorance.
The financial world is a better place without it. Look at it as a Darwinian process of weaning out the truly stupid.
Buffett's Burlington Buy Is Really a Bet on China [View article]
Ok, I agree much of the goods transported by rail from the US ports will have been imported from China but you still need a recovering US consumer to buy them.
And I think China can get it's coal and wheat a little closer to home than the Mid-West - Australia. Which is why it is already firmly in recovery mode with 2 rate hikes in a month benefiting from Chinese growth of 8%.

Today's FOMC Meeting: Extended Life Support for Markets? [View article]
There is a consensus that the UK banks have so far only written down 40% of the losses they should have.
It's too early to cut rates in the UK or US, that's for sure.

The Entry Point Market Investors May Be Missing [View article]
Equities were due a correction. The rally since March was relentless but much of the progress was driven by liquidity, not fundamentals.
When that liquidity and stimulus is drained from the market the US consumer needs to step up to maintain growth. However the danger of a double-dip has been understated as we still have unemployment at 9.8% and many consumers need to rebuild their personal balance sheets after a decade of low savings, high spending (via borrowing).
So whether you look at technicals or fundamentals a retreat was inevitable.

Increased Consumer Spending Does Not Make Us Better Off [View article]
If it comes from debt then at best it is just borrowing from future earnings and creates inflation.
That is why we still have deflationary pressures. The economy is paying for a decade of low savings, and consumer spending at inflated levels due to borrowing. It will take at least 5 years for consumers to rebuild their balance sheets and let's not forget 9.8% unemployment.
Excellent piece on ongoing deflationary pressures here:
