How the Fed Prints Money Under the Guise of Currency Swaps

The Fed is ramping up its currency swap activity again. Meaning, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, is printing money again. That’s bad enough. But this time, after he prints it, he sends it over to Europe. Crazy, but true.

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.

China – The BRIC About to Smash Through Australia’s Windscreen

The BRICs – Brazil, Russia, India and China – are supposed to be the upcoming economic boomers of our age. In fact, the BRICs theory was our first exposure to the world of economics. But now part of the story is looking a little shaky.

Why Low Interest Rates are Bad for the Economy

A year ago, the RBA and the horde of market economists who hang on its every word expected interest rates to be higher by now. Even as late as September 2011 the RBA was sitting on its hands, unsure which way to move.

The Cinderella Story of China’s Economy

One of the big questions of the year is whether China’s economy blows up or not. Hard landing or soft? When will the clock strike midnight on the Chinese? Things are slowing down, and it feels like it’s getting late.

China’s Export Growth is Growing Old

China’s central planners are acting as if they can push on the accelerator (more bank lending) to promote more export growth. They are also trying to encourage more domestic consumption, while watching inflation carefully. It seems like a tricky balancing act.

Europe’s Flawed Financial Transactions Tax (FTT)

Europe’s Financial Transactions Tax (FTT) may disincentivise financial transactions by adding to their marginal cost. But as long as the supply of credit and cheap money to the banking system remains abundant, the banks have an open invitation to speculate.

The China Effect on the Australian Economy

Note to the market: The Eurozone crisis hasn’t gone anywhere. The US and Iran are facing off in the Straits of Hormuz, the world’s most important oil supply route. And China’s economic slowdown has only just got underway.

Australians More Interested in Investing in Property than on Stock Market

You’ll pardon the sense of inevitability in today’s Daily Reckoning. After all it’s raining. But even so, with over $1 billion in Melbourne property clearing auctions this week (at a clearance rate of 86%) it definitely feels like Australians have found a way to hasten their own financial day of reckoning. Of course not everyone agrees.

Higher Rates Preventing Buyers from Looking for New Mortgages

But in the universe in which your editor woke up this morning, none of that has yet happened. That makes this world, at least to these eyes, surreal. It’s not like the facts aren’t evident. In Australia, for example, the average house price remains so far out of reach for the new buyer that it’s laughable. Yet day after day, everyone in the press (and in polite society) pretends that things are going along quite normally.

A Date for an Aussie House Price Collapse

But we’ve done plenty of homework on the Aussie housing market. We’re either right or we’re wrong. Our forecast is not an option. There is no time decay.

    “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.
