The State of the Union Address and Obama’s Fairness Doctrine

We had been invited to watch President Obama give the State of the Union address with a group of dinosaurs…a group approaching extinction with dignity and intelligence. You might call them ‘thinking conservatives,’ ‘paleo- conservatives’ or ‘constitutionalists.’

Demand Fears in a Consumer Based Economy

Yesterday, Europe was back in the news. Whenever Europe is in the headlines, the headlines are bad. And the ideas behind the headlines are absurd. In fact, it is amazing how many crackpot ideas the press can throw at you in a single day.

Tales from the Southern Hemisphere

The Southern Hemisphere is not a bad place to be in the wintertime. That is, when it is wintertime in the Northern Hemisphere. By the time the chilly winds from Baltimore reach the southern tip of Africa they have been warmed by the South Atlantic. Flowers bloom. The sun shines. Gentle breezes glide over the fields and parking lots.

The US Debt Cutting Derby

The public sector is leveraging up. The US is going deeper and deeper into debt. As it adds to the quantity of its debt outstanding, the quality should go down. And the price too. But it’s not. So, either the times are out of joint…or we are.

A Real Stress Test: Could Any Major Bank or Developed Nation Survive?

The conceit of modern public finance is that people with good political skills can do a better job of deciding which banks are solvent than the marketplace. ‘Raw capitalism,’ is just too impulsive, they claim.

How a Deficit in Capitalism Helped Engender the Financial Crisis

Instead of allowing capitalism to fix the problem, the feds made it worse. They gave more money to the very institutions and managers who had proved they couldn’t be trusted with it.
We don’t want to rehearse the whole sequence of events that got us to where we are. But it’s important to understand what happened.

Mitt Romney and the Tax Zombies

Mitt Romney has revealed his effective tax rate. “About 15%,” he says. That seems like more than enough to us. But it’s not enough to satisfy the zombies. Romney has made a lot of money. They want more of it.

When the US Economy Runs Aground

Captain Schettino will probably never be asked to take command of another cruise ship. But Captain Bernanke and his crew are still at the controls of the US economy. Apparently, they still have no idea where they are…or where they are going.

The US Government’s Powers That Be

We were suspicious of the recent improvement in the unemployment numbers provided by the US Government. And of the news that consumers were going into debt to shop, again. The data were inconsistent with the “Great Correction.”

Debts With Unsolvable Insolvency

Even before debt became such a big problem, real growth had already begun to disappear from the developed world. There has been none in Japan for the last 20 years…and almost no real growth in the US private sector for the last 10 years. In Europe, grosso modo, the story is similar.

Marines Caught Out in a Dirty War

And all over the world, the press is howling for the heads of the marines seen urinating on the bodies of dead Taliban soldiers on YouTube. Everyone is appalled. They are not defending the country. They are fighting a mean dirty war.

European Downgrades: Will There Really Be a Fallout?

On Friday, after the close of business in the stock market, S&P downgraded 9 European countries. Spain and Italy were both taken down another notch, leaving Italy with a BBB+ rating and Spain with an A. But the headline damage was done to France, whose triple-A rating got downgraded to AA+.

Money Printing: The Ugly Truth Behind the “Good News”

The news on the US economy has been generally “good” ever since the European Central Bank made it clear that it will print money rather than see major banks or minor nations get what is coming to them.

    “Why a mining executive told me to F*** Off
    in front of a whole room of investors”
    Dr. Alex Cowie doesn’t have the most popular of jobs. At least – not inside the mining industry. For his readers, it’s another matter entirely.

    As Laurence says: “I have never bought a stock and got a 100% return before … thanks for providing the information for me to have that experience – and all within two months too!”

    Right now Alex has unearthed six “must buy” resource stocks for the year ahead. His method for finding them might annoy a few people in the industry… but it could help make a lot of money in 2012 too.

    Find out why, right here
