The End of the Iron Ore Age

The golden age of iron ore profits is ending for Australia. Europe’s banking system is slowly going bust because of the government debt crisis. Europe is a big customer of China’s. China is a big customer of Australia’s.

What the Facebook IPO Says About Your Most Valuable Asset

Social networking site Facebook may go public this week. This is important. The fact that the company is ready to sell shares to the public and Wall Street is underwriting for the initial public offering (IPO) can only mean one thing: the age of superficial communication devoid of real content and real meaning may be peaking… as soon as tomorrow!

The Energy Empire of the Sun

We take up the issue of national power and real energy in today’s Daily Reckoning. And we take it up because the fate of nations and the welfare of men and women are directly related to how much sunlight we all get. All power—from the stored solar energy in fossil fuels to the sunlight that makes food grow—comes from energy.

Australia’s Place in the World of Debt – An Each-Way Bet On The 21st Century

Australian government debt (Federal) crossed the $200 billion barrier last year. In a few short years, then, the government has gone from a modest $20 billion surplus to a $200 billion debt. That debt is still small as percentage of GDP compared to the US, Japan, and the UK.

How Australia’s Terms of Trade is Riding the Dragon

Today’s terms of trade boom exceeds anything Australia has seen in previous booms. The wool booms in the 1920s and the 1950s – both war related – helped Australia ride the sheep’s back to prosperity. This time, Australia is riding the Dragon’s back to prosperity.

The War Against the Euro

The Americans are trying to discredit the euro in order to perpetuate dollar hegemony, so goes the argument. Hmm. It’s possible. It’s also possible that all central bankers and monetary policy makers are singing from the same hymnal. Their answer to the end of the credit bubble is to try and pump it back up with currency debasement. In that case, this is a war of all against all.

    “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.
