Who Was the SEC Harassing Instead of Madoff?

Investigators wondered why the agency had let Madoff run billions in suspicious trades without ever checking them out. The SEC responded by saying it lacked sufficient resources. Then, New York Senator Schumer said he would propose a measure to increase the agency’s spending power by 75%…

The New Normal: Where the Government Plays a Significant Role in Controlling the Economy

In the “old normal” view – preached by politicians left and right and amplified by a compliant media and a smarting financial industry – you should go back to doing what you were doing before.

The Present Period in Financial History Favours Ducks and Undertakers

The present period in financial history favours ducks and undertakers. On the banks of the Thames and the Hudson, every day they fish a couple more cadavers out of the water. And then the medical examiner opens them up so we get to see what caused them to go under. What a sight! It is amazing that any sane investor ever had anything to do with them in the first place.

Prometheus, With The Cuffs On

Money carries no passport, but it slides through almost any border. It speaks no language, but when it talks, everyone listens. But for all its passe-partout appeal, money has more enemies than friends.

    “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.
