Krugman’s Keynesian Christmas Carol / Politics / Elliott Wave Theory

By: William_Anderson

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleIt is the year 2014 and Tiny Tim is ill, but he does not need the generosity of Ebenezer Scrooge to bring him back to health. No, as Paul Krugman insists, the Cratchits

have health insurance. Not from their employer: Ebenezer Scrooge doesn’t do employee benefits. And just a few years earlier they wouldn’t have been able to buy insurance on their own because Tiny Tim has a pre-existing condition, and, anyway, the premiums would have been out of their reach.

Selling You with Baseball Legends and the Buffett Name / Politics / Mainstream Media

By: Mike_Stathis

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleI come across silly articles everyday by guys with no idea what they are doing. Their goal is to sell ads and subscriptions to their newsletter, or to get you to hand them your money so they can send it to some "money manager."

The most common and effective tactic is to use Warren Buffet's name in the title of these pieces because the herd mentality thinks that what Buffett does or likes actually matters to individual investors.

Three months later do you still stand by that assessment or did you underestimate the power of the governments to shore up the global economy?

Scholars of UFRJ, USP, UNICAMP, and Embrapa (Brazil) sent a warning: if the conditions of the current economic model continue, by the end of this century the Amazon will suffer a 40% loss of forest cover in the area south-southeast-east, which will turn into savannah.

The award amounts to the icing on the cake for what has transpired over the past 12 months that has witnessed academic clueless economists in the mainstream press flailing in all directions in an attempt to be all things to all people.

U.S. 2 Million Troop, $1 Trillion Death Machine / Politics / US Politics

By: Rick_Rozoff

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleWith a census of slightly over 300 million in a world of almost seven billion people, the U.S. accounts for over 40 percent of officially acknowledged worldwide government military spending with a population that is only 4 percent of that of the earth's. A 10-1 disparity.

In addition to its 1,445,000 active duty service members, the Pentagon can and does call upon 1.2 million National Guard and other reserve components. As many as 30% of troops that have served in Afghanistan and Iraq are mobilized reservists. The Army National Guard has activated over 400,000 soldiers since the war in Afghanistan began and in March of 2009 approximately 125,000 National Guard and other reserve personnel were on active duty.

Best Financial Markets Analysis Article"Health care in lead as stocks surge" ~ MarketWatch

This December 21, 2009 headline marks what I regard as the triumph of Keynesian dogma in the American equity markets. I can think of no headline in the last 30 years that better illustrates the triumph of Paul Samuelson, whose health care expenses finally ceased last week.

Obamas Healthcare Reform Spells Disaster for Americans (Part 1) / Politics / US Politics

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleFirst, I want to point out that this article should by no means encourage support for the Republican Party. If you are not already aware, both parties deliver essentially the same results when it comes to issues that matter most to the people, such as the case with free trade and healthcare, while fooling you to think they represent opposing positions.

Obama and Democrats Drop the Health Care Bomb on American's / Politics / US Politics

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleAs business owners undergo the yearly ritual of passing through eye-popping health insurance premium increases to their employees, it's easy to understand why any attempt at health insurance reform would be met with some degree of hope. Unfortunately, President Obama and his Democratic allies in Congress are about to take a very bad system and make it unimaginably worse.

Peak Climate And New Energy / Politics / Climate Change

By: Andrew_McKillop

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleExit Global Warming

"Hockey sticks in the air!" well summarises the Copenhagen Climate summit debacle, as some world leaders, especially Obama and the 'European climate triumvirate' of Brown, Sarkozy and Merkel wrestled a face-saving, non-binding and vague agreement from the wreckage. This hard-won gesture, as of Saturday December 19, brings Brazil, China, India, South Africa and about 20 other states into a nice statement of principle affirming their collective wish that world average temperatures should not rise by more than 2°C in a flexibly defined long-term period, stretching to about 2040.

The Long Decline of the U.S. Economy / Politics / Recession 2008 - 2010

By: John_Kozy

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe official position on the cause of the current financial downturn is that it was caused by the reckless practices of financial institutions and the failure of regulatory bodies, and it is likely that these were the proximate causes, but they were not the ultimate cause. Americans, unfortunately, are rarely willing to search for ultimate causes or do anything about them when they are found.

A New Era for Humanity Has Begun / Politics / Social Issues

A new era for the human race has clearly begun. When I compare the state of people’s awareness today with what it was just a few years ago, remarkable changes are taking place.

Afghanistan, World's Longest War Has Only Just Begun / Politics / Afghanistan

By: Rick_Rozoff

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe higher number of Defense Department contractors, 160,000, added to over 100,000 troops - with the likely prospect of both numbers climbing yet more - will result in over a quarter of a million U.S. personnel serving under the Pentagon and NATO. The latter has 42,000 non-U.S. troops fighting under its command currently and pledges of 8,000 more to date, with thousands in addition to be conscripted after the London conference on Afghanistan next month.
