Eurodystopia: A Future Divided / Politics / European Union

By: Raul_I_Meijer

This is a rerun of an article I wrote on August 10, 2012. It seems to have regained quite a bit of relevance in recent days. I was thinking earlier today, how can I write about finance when Europe continues to offend people’s, and humanity’s, most basic dignity the way it does, but it does. It gets more incomprehensible by the hour, what happens there. But it does.

So here’s a different view, 50+ years old, of what Europe could, and perhaps should, have been, instead of the sad and amoral place it has become. Just for perspective.

The Student Loan Crisis Is Mounting / Interest-Rates / Student Finances

By: Peter_Schiff

Addison Quale writes: "You need a college degree to succeed in America." This idea has become so commonplace that the right to higher education is now a core issue in most political platforms. What if a young person cannot afford a college degree? The "obvious" answer from politicians on both sides of the aisle is that the government should subsidize them. Very few are brave enough to ask the far more important question: "At what cost?"

Stock Market Prepares for the Next Decline / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

Good Morning!

After reviewing the charts, I have come to the conclusion that we may be seeing a Leading Diagonal Wave (1) in the SPX and other major indexes. Note that both Waves 1 and 3 fit the [a]-[b]-[c] pattern better than an impulse because of overlap in Wave 1 and the Triangle [b] in Wave 3. We have already seen Waves [a] and [b] in Wave 5 with a large Wave [c] decline to go.

The Next Financial Crisis May Already be Unfolding / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2015

By: MoneyMetals

Stefan Gleason writes: Is an epic financial meltdown about to commence? Predictions that a crash will occur in the fall of 2015 have been gaining traction. They are bolstered by some of the market events of this summer, which suggest that something big is indeed unfolding.

In August, the Chinese devalued the yuan, setting off volatility in currency, commodity, and equity markets worldwide. The U.S. stock market suffered its worst slide in four years, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling through major support levels. Crude oil prices careened below $40 per barrel.

Europe Rethinks the Schengen Agreement / Politics / European Union

By: STRATFOR

Forecast

  • Rising immigration and fragile economic recovery in Europe will reduce political support for the Schengen Agreement, which eliminates border controls among member states.
  • The Schengen Agreement will likely be reformed to make room for countries to tighten their border controls more frequently.
  • Friction between Schengen members and other countries will remain, as will tension within the bloc itself.

BP Oil Company Moves past Mistakes But Still Feeling Price Pinch / Companies / Oil Companies

By: AnyOption

Major oil Company BP (LSE: BP) has found itself in an uncertain position the past few years. Under pressure from both outside and within, the company has managed to stay relatively stable considering the shakeup in the industry. Now, despite the current economic downturn facing the oil industry and a disappointing second quarter, the oil giant is finally able to look more towards improving future prospects. A recent settlement in their ongoing case with the United States Federal Government and state governments as well as a relatively solid balance sheet paired with their diversified corporate structure have combined to create a potentially positive long-term outlook for investors seeking long-term potential.  However, the short-term outlook must acknowledge the inherent industry risks.

In the wake of Germany's announcement to take upto 800,000 refugees this year and images of dead refugees washed up on the shores of Turkey, David Cameron and the UK government are coming under intense pressure to change their stance on refugee migration that continues relentlessly as each bordering nation acts to funnel over one hundred thousand migrants each month northwards towards destinations such as Germany and Britain.

Stock Market Return to Crisis: Things Keep Getting Worse / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015

By: Mike_Whitney

The virus that spread to stock markets around the world and nearly destroyed the global financial system in 2008 has reemerged with a vengeance sending global equities deep into the red and wiping out more than $5 trillion in market capitalization in less than two weeks. On Tuesday, before the opening bell, major market index futures in the US plunged more than 400 points signaling another violent day of selling ahead.   Worries that a slowdown in China will impact global growth pushed Asian and European markets deep into negative territory while US futures indicate that the Dow Jones is headed for its ninth triple-digit day in ten sessions. The deluge of bad news has battered confidence in the Fed and “sent global equities to their worst monthly slump in more than three years”.  Millions of Mom and Pop investors have sold out already and are headed for the exits. Here’s a recap from Bloomberg:

Stock Market Eleven Crazy Days — Many More Coming / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015

Twelve months ago the world was happily sailing along in the Great Moderation, with financial markets that moved gracefully higher most of the time but even in their rare negative moments didn’t cause too much angst. The eleven trading days leading up to September 3 saw not a single triple-digit move on the Dow, and only three down sessions.

Trading position (short-term; our opinion): No speculative positions are justified from the risk/reward perspective.

On Tuesday, crude oil reversed and declined sharply as weak Chinese data weighed on investors' sentiment. As a result, the commodity approached support levels, but will they encourage oil bulls to act in the coming days?

How OPEC’s Attempt to Save Face Affects the Crude Oil Market / Commodities / Crude Oil

By: ...

Dr. Kent Moors writes: Just as I was finishing up Monday’s Oil & Energy Investor, information emerged that something was happening with OPEC. I made mention of it in a note appended at the end of that installment, finishing with the observation that it “Looks like somebody just blinked.”

Well, that somebody is OPEC, and there is much more behind this development, leading to today’s discussion.

In its monthly report released on Monday, OPEC indicated it is now willing to discuss production levels with other non-OPEC countries. This is the first indication that the low crude oil price environment has been creating serious problems inside the cartel.

Crude Oil Price Forecast 2015 and 2016 - Video / Commodities / Crude Oil

By: Nadeem_Walayat

The crude oil price has relentlessly trended lower all year to an unimaginably low price low of $37 of just a few days ago, falling from $100 a year ago. The severe bear market has not only caught many market commentators off guard but has had a devastating impact on several major economies that are heavily reliant on high oil prices such as Russia, the gulf states, and other emerging markets reliant on their energy sector tax revenues to finance state spending and of course Britain's very own Scotland that a year ago was toying with idea of committing social and economic suicide (independence referendum).

The Real Threat from China’s Stock Market Crash / Stock-Markets / Chinese Stock Market

By: ...

Keith Fitz-Gerald writes: Conventional wisdom at the moment says that China’s coming unglued and that the country’s stock markets pose a grave danger to global investors. It’s communist, it’s a Ponzi scheme, it’s ruled by insiders, it’s leveraged up to its eyeballs, ghost cities… all the usual tired old arguments are being rolled out as if they’re somehow new again.

In reality, the real risk isn’t being reported. In fact, it’s not even being talked about.

'Gravity' Is Returning to Stocks and Bond Markets / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2015

Porter Stansberry : In today's essay... a discussion about gravity. Not the kind of gravity that causes objects to draw closer to each other. That gravity is a mystery that physics can't yet explain.

I'm talking about financial gravity. And the causes of financial gravity are well-known...

Financial gravity is the cost of capital. The cost of money drives the price of everything else in a free market because capital is the root of supply. Want more oil? Fine, invest heavily in new supplies.

Give All Refugees A Free Ticket To Brussels / Politics / Immigration

By: Raul_I_Meijer

A few days ago, I joked to Nicole that Paddypower should by now have a bet open on how much longer the Schengen open border treaty will be valid in Europe. Didn’t check if they actually had one, mind you. 

But it can’t be long anymore, so it wouldn’t be a big money maker even if it existed. I give it a few days at most. Italy just announced it wants guards at Brennero, one of its main border posts with Austria. One down, a few hundred to go, and they may go at a rapid clip.
