Investment Hopes, Fears and Preparations for 2012 Investors

Should Banks and Government Merge to Become One?

There was a problem we promised to solve on Monday. To refresh your memory, the problem is that both banks and governments need money. Governments borrow from banks.

Why Liquidity Solutions for Solvency Problems Won’t Work

Once again, the Fed is distorting the signals the private market is trying to send. The market is saying there is a solvency problem and the Fed is saying it’s just a matter of liquidity.

European Bankers go to the Mattresses

Are Europe’s banks now playing a game of hide-and-don’t-lend? According to overnight deposits made by European banks at the European Central Bank, the answer is “yes.” The Financial Times reports that European banks parked around €350 billion at the ECB on Friday.

    “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.
