A Crash Proof Investment Strategy

Financial markets and institutions are mighty unstable no matter where you look these days. Europe, America, China, Australia. Where are you supposed to go to invest your money?

How to Prolong an Inevitable Free-Market Correction

Markets – free markets – are meant to be unstable. They are meant to crack-up from time to time. And thank God they do. Otherwise, we’d be stuck forever with zombie industries and dead end investments.

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.

How “Adjusting for Slippage” Adds to Sovereign Debt Woes

“Adjusting for slippage” is the latest government fashion…and it is expensive. “Governments of the world’s leading economies have more than $7.6 trillion of debt maturing this year,” Bloomberg News reports, “with most facing a rise in borrowing costs.”

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.

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.

A Brief Retrospective of the Year Gone By

Before we say goodbye to 2011, let us pause to remember it…briefly. We spent 365 days with it – 365 days in a row. We can’t just move on to 2012 without a least a backward glance. What kind of a year was it? In what direction did it take the world, dear reader? Should we cheer that it is gone…or merely dry our eyes and hope for the best?

Australia Forgets the Little People

How about that? Contrary to our gloomy disposition yesterday, the stock market has taken off like a rocket this morning. The material sector is up 2.9% today alone. It was the worst performing sector in Australia on the ASX in 2011, down 25% thanks to lower commodity prices.

Avoiding the Market Danger Zones in the Year Ahead

(Ed Note: Bill penned this note as 2011 was drawing to a close). The markets are fairly quiet. The politicians are keeping their mouths closed too. Here at The Daily Reckoning Christmas headquarters we’re drinking eggnog, eating fruitcake and wondering what 2012 will bring. We’ve given up trying to actually look into the future. We don’t seem to have the knack for it.

The Brave New World of Debt Deleveraging

The 40-year expansion of credit – the debt supercycle – is over. Its passing means you must re-think how economics and markets ‘work’. Of course economics and the market will still work in the same way they always have. They simply reflect billions of individual decisions made on a daily basis.

Welcome to the House of Debt

Aussies have bid up the price of houses to absurd levels using debt. The debt that the mainstream will tell you doesn’t matter. But it does.

    “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.
