Goldman Sachs is a “Sell”

For once, we agree with the insiders at Goldman Sachs. The company’s stock is a “Sell.” Okay, so the insiders didn’t exactly say their stock is a “sell,” but they didn’t need to. Their feet did all the talking. Nine Goldman insiders scurried away from their stock as fast as the law would let them.

Goldman Sachs is Probably Not a “Buy”

Matt Taibbi — like many other cynical financial market observers — has learned to regard every pronouncement from Goldman Sachs with suspicion. Recent experience has demonstrated that “tame” and “harmless” are attributes that rarely operate within the Goldman Sachs business model.

The First Casualty of the Currency Wars

Can Australia’s currency continue its rampage while exporters burn? The currency wars have been going on quietly here at home for some time now. And going by the state of our exporters, we’re losing.

Below Average Thinking With Thomas Friedman

We got a chuckle out of Thomas Friedman. Maybe he would be good as a brick mason. Or maybe a baker. Shame he got caught up in journalism. He has no talent for it.

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.

Persistent Questions About the Future of the US Economy

The US economy entered a period of debt destruction – a Great Correction, we called it. The question then was how long the Great Correction would last…which depended on what it was correcting.

Everything Isn’t Fine in the US Economy

The US economy has come back to output levels of ’07. But this feeble rebound not only holds the title of “weakest post-war recovery ever,” it also shows that something else is going on. Most economists have no idea what. So, they just think this “recovery” is unusually slow.

The Fed’s Unattainable Government Goals

The Fed has goals for unemployment and inflation. Targets. And it moves its policies around in order to achieve its goals. Of course, it doesn’t necessarily hit its goals.

The Consequences of Denying Reality in a Bernanke Economy

Mr. Bernanke is fiddling the levers again, promising to keep rates lower than a sea snake’s belly until 2014. America’s #1 central banker may well be highly intelligent…but that does not preclude him from also being a dunce.

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 a Deficit in Capitalism Helped Engender the Financial Crisis

Instead of allowing capitalism to fix the problem, the feds made it worse. They gave more money to the very institutions and managers who had proved they couldn’t be trusted with it.
We don’t want to rehearse the whole sequence of events that got us to where we are. But it’s important to understand what happened.

When the US Economy Runs Aground

Captain Schettino will probably never be asked to take command of another cruise ship. But Captain Bernanke and his crew are still at the controls of the US economy. Apparently, they still have no idea where they are…or where they are going.

The news on the US economy has been generally “good” ever since the European Central Bank made it clear that it will print money rather than see major banks or minor nations get what is coming to them.

    “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.

    Find out why, right here
