What Blows Up First, Deutsche Bank? / Companies / Credit Crisis 2016
Calling Wall Street’s banks stupid and dangerous is like calling the sun “big and warm.” It’s a clear understatement of an obvious fact. The same goes for calling Japan and China economically clueless. Their actions pretty much guarantee that they’ll ultimately enter some sort of death spiral.

Wells Fargo Scandal Shows Next Bank Crisis Coming / Companies / Banksters

Ignore the Fed, Something MASSIVE is Brewing in Europe’s Banks / Companies / Credit Crisis 2016
The Bank of Japan failed to announce any new policy initiatives today. The reasons are financial and political.

Wells Fargo and Other Banks Now Just Outright Stealing People’s Money / Companies / Banksters
Centuries ago banks actually stored real money (gold) and gave their customers paper receipts which made transferring and transporting easier.

Few Buys in Global Stock Markets After Rallies / Companies / Investing 2016
Money manager Adrian Day provides an update of his non-resource holdings and his interpretation of the Federal Reserve's activities.
All of the Business Development Companies have moved up strongly in recent months from their grossly oversold year-end levels, in line with many other "dividend" plays, such as utilities. In general, we are holding, given the still-high yields and improvements at the companies, but not buying given the strong recent stock movement as well as yields that are coming down to historical norms.

Stocks Remain Positive Despite Down Day / Companies / Tech Stocks
The stock market indices had a difficult session today, down most of the morning, back up in the afternoon, but closed negative on the day. However, many of the stocks we traded or follow did very well. So it was quite an interesting session.
The day started out with a turn to the downside, then a snapback to resistance and failed, and then they went down until midday. By midday they reached the bottom of the channel in the fifth-wave decline over the last three sessions. I indicated that a potential rally may ensue, and they had a three-wave corrective pullback to take back a big chunk of losses, but negatively closed the day.

Semiconductor Stocks Sector, Updated / Companies / Tech Stocks
We have been using the Semis as a one of several economic signposts, and as an investment/trading destination since the Semi Equipment ‘bookings’ category in the Book-to-Bill ratio began to ramp up several months ago. But those who say that Semiconductors are subject to pricing pressures are correct. It is a segment in which people need to be discrete with their investments. NFTRH 410 updated some details about this market leader.

Brexit Effect works to Boost Diageo shares / Companies / BrExit
Alexander Bowring writes: After the referendum result was announced, Diageo CEO Ivan Menezes went on to say the decision was “better for the UK, better for Diageo and better for the Scotch whisky industry that we remain in.” This begs the question, why have Diageo’s shares risen dramatically immediately following the leave vote? Sitting at under £18 prior to the result, they jumped to almost £20 each, signalling a new high for the last 12 months.

In fact, the crash that caused the downturn was so seismic that it obliterated more than $1 trillion from portfolios since late 2014.

One of the biggest dividend lovers of all is Warren Buffett. He has more than 90% of the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio invested in dividend-paying stocks.
Sure, a 1%, 2%, or 3% dividend may not sound like a fortune, but what looks like small payouts really adds up.
For the first seven months of 2016, the S&P 500 was up 6.3%.With dividends, the total return increased to 7.7%. That’s an extra 22%!
