    I read the book and had a hard time distilling the essentials from the thickets of rhetoric. Mr. Price, you've done a fine job of making the most vital points both cogent and easy to grasp. Reply

    How are your fortelling powers, Ops did it again? Don't scoff at comments from one of the only sane men on Wall Street.

    Good article, Tim Price.     Reply

    So long term El Erian says equities in the likes of BRICs would be well worthwhile and outperform. Oil and gold should do well. Short term anybody's guess, better preserve capital above all else. Reply

    Why would I care what Mr El-Erian has to say when the fund he manages needed an indirect tax payers bail out (Fre/Fan) not to get crushed? Does he really have any foretelling powers or is just good lobbying powers? Reply

    Reasons To Short the Euro [view article]
    You can use DRR to short Euro with smaller risk. Put options on FXE is another relatively safe play. Reply

    II would say the pound is an even better candidate to short than the euro. Reply

    The Herd of Lemmings, Part II [view article]
    The dollar is up because of central bank intervention purchases. Both gold and silver prices are being massively manipulated by the bullion banks shorting of COMEX futures contracts. Silver shorts by eight or fewer traders at the recent peak before silver "corrected" was 350 million ounces or about 7 month of mine output. But 14.00 on silver and 800 on gold are higher lows on the chart. When the need for financial calm caused by the Olympics is over I predict all Hell is going to break loose and both gold and silver will really shine. Reply

    Even though the market looks undervalued, with such a low P/E of
    below 7.0, investors do yet not see it as a strong buying opportunity. Many have
    decided to reassess political risks, though we do not think much has changed; these
    risks have been largely ignored in the past.     Reply

    Russia: Beware the Bear [view article]
    We have a strong authority and strong political regime. It is too mutch attention to the sitiation with MECHEL and TNK BP.

    What is even worse for Russia is the fact that the situation in South Ossetia followed
    a chain of other political events that also negatively affected the market, such as the
    conflict between BP and TNK in which state authorities also took part, the Mechel
    story and Russia’s position on Zimbabwe in the UN Security Council. Almost no
    positive news has come from the political arena in recent months, such that until
    recently, the Russian market had been falling more or less in line with global trends,
    and even a strong macroeconomic performance was unable to pull it back up.
    Needless to say, on this front, it looks much better in Russian these days in relative
    terms than in the matured economies; the country’s growth of around 8% looks
    more impressive than the 1.2% seen in the US and the Eurozone.

    Meanwhile, we have to remind that little has changed in Russia itself. The same people keep
    governing the country, its diplomacy is the same as a year or two ago, institutions are also in the
    same condition, and the economy keeps growing as fast as in previous years on average. If this
    (currently) regional conflict does not spread into a greater geopolitical standoff between Russia
    and the West, the Russian market should start gradually rebounding at some point.

    I think the analysis is spot on. Dangers are lurking in a fragile and corrupt regime. The easy money will wash out and nationalism in economic and political form will take over. the next 3 years are dangerous especially for former satelites. Reply

    Whe i'm reading this article, i'm smiling. This is absolutely non-professional approach to understand the situation. You have to think, before you read american propaganda press. And you probably do not strain themselves reflections.

    Yesterday’s (12 Aug) developments appear to have put an end to the military conflict between Russia and Georgia. First, President Dmitry Medvedev ordered a stop to military operations. Later in the day, France’s President Nicolas Sarkozy travelled to Moscow and Tbilisi to negotiate a solution to the conflict in South Ossetia. Sarkozy and Medvedev agreed on six principles: 1) to stop the use of armed forces; 2) to halt all military action; 3) to provide access to humanitarian aid; 4) Georgian troops are to return to their permanent military bases; 5) Russia’s forces are to return to positions occupied before hostilities began and Russia’s peacekeepers are to remain in the disputed territories until international mechanisms are in place; and 6) the status of South Ossetia and Abkhazia is to be discussed internationally. In Tbilisi, Sarkozy agreed on five of the principles with Mikheil Saakshvili (Georgia did not agree to international discussion of the status of South Ossetia and Abkhazia). Further discussions will be held today (13 Aug) at a meeting of EU foreign ministers; any resolution will then be presented to the UN Security Council.

    We believe that despite the very possible violation of the ceasefire, attention will now focus on internationally brokered negotiations on the status of the disputed territories, as well as an investigation into the possibility of crimes against humanity committed during the conflict. The situation in the area will remain a source of tension in the medium term, but we think that the worst is behind us.
