Dot.com was smoke. Cds bubble a bubble of paper. Mines are real,in case of a slowing demand,you can close the mine or get less production.China isn't the only buyer of minerals.Don't forget Japan, South Korea,India and Thailand.
Economists who see a recession ahead jump to nearly one in three. But in case you hadn't noticed, economists tend to be reactionary in their recession calls, often not even coming close to predicting weakness until the stock market plunges. In June and July, ~15% saw a recession; an increase seems certain "as more and more economists roll out their (uncannily similar) estimates." [View news story]
Nobody is less useful than an economist.Save their earnings. It's less expensive to read tea leaves.Same results.
With rates bound to go up sooner or later, many investors have fallen for floating-rate mutual funds. But many include a "Libor floor" which can act as an anchor until rates rise more than you might realize. And past performance charts don't really take the formerly uncommon floors into account.

America's greatest threat is not the deficit or terrorism or China - it is "impotent leadership... the lack of vision... the selling out to the highest bidder in Washington," Barry Ritholtz writes. The U.S. government "has become a giant grift, populated by Jezebels and strumpets," guided only by the "endless stream of corporate giveaways, tax loopholes and bailouts." [View news story]
Democracy isn't perfect,but it's the best government system that we have. Do we have in the Congress the best politicians that there are in US?Probably yes. But if we change people,I guess the results will not change. Think a little. The few have the most of the American wealth.The instruments of the few are Corporations,that use money to influence the Congress. This isn't democracy,it's PLUTOCRACY. The biggest problem in our Nation is the financing of politics. Change the rules of financing,politics will change.
Bah, humbug! Brett Arends offers 10 reasons why he doesn't believe in the Santa rally. To cite two: Shares may be more expensive than they're telling you. And the market value of non-financial U.S. equities is within ~15% of the Oct. 2007 peak, implying that "most of the last three years was little more than a bad dream. Do you believe that?"

I deeply agree.The short and the long term value of a firm can be very different,but only the long term value make sense.Think of a mine,a shipbuilding,the long investment needed in medical R&D.How many year it takes ti build the knowledge of a person, to grant an MB or Ph.D? Economics is long term,Finance short. Putting them together has been a great mistake.
Don't blame the foreign reserves build-up by emerging nations for exchange rate imbalances, says Brazil’s Central Bank President Henrique Meirelles at the annual IMF meeting. In reality, "the most important imbalance today is the American monetary expansion... this is the biggest injection of liquidity in the international economy." [View news story]

Google's (GOOG) sights are set so far beyond just internet search that it has already logged 140,000 miles on a new semi-secret test program to design cars that can drive themselves thanks to artificial intelligence systems.
