Do Tax & Regulatory Policies Pose a Threat to the Dollar?
2012-02-02 15:57:00 Which political party will do a better job at preserving the purchasing power of the U.S. Dollar? A common tenet amongst Treasury Secretaries, irrespective of their political affiliation, has been a claim that the U.S. pursues a strong dollar policy. To find out, let’s look at what type of tax and regulatory policies foster a strong dollar. Supply and demand determine the value of anything tradable, including a currency. Noteworthy with regard to the value of a currency is a country’s current account deficit, which can be thought of as the amount foreigners need to buy in a . . . → Read More: Do Tax & Regulatory Policies Pose a Threat to the Dollar?

BROKEN DOLLAR
2012-01-26 17:26:00 It has been my theory that this year we would see one of the worst performances by the stock market since 2008. However that has always been dependent on Bernanke not being able to break the dollar’s rally out of its three year cycle low. As of this morning the dollar has printed a failed daily cycle. More often than not a failed daily cycle is an indication that an intermediate degree decline has begun. I have begged and pleaded with people not too short the stock market over the last several weeks. For one it’s very hard to make money on the short side for the simple reason that markets move down differently than they move . . . → Read More: BROKEN DOLLAR

$150 million dollar fraud……..for kickbacks to referring physi
2012-01-10 22:59:00 January 9, 2012 – The U.S. government has filed a $150 million complaint against a Michigan imaging company, charging it with allegedly violating federal Medicare rules requiring physician supervision of diagnostic tests, and with paying kickbacks to physicians for referrals. AuntMinnieMobile is sponsored in part byGE. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan filed the complaint on January 6 against Universal Imaging of Ypsilanti, MI, and its current and former owners, Phillip J.

Asia Screeches ? Dollar Zooms
2011-12-19 19:45:00 I find it interesting how complacent many investors still are regarding Asia, China in particular. But I guess if one vests so much time and effort to wave a convincing story, it’s difficult to be objective. However, a slowdown in Asia is certain. In fact, if you look at the chart below, you can see that one has already begun across emerging markets. And soon it could turn into an all-out run thanks to falling dollar-liquidity, the euro-zone banking crisis, and the Chinese housing bubble. There are two key points that could help explain why I say Asia is bound to take a gigantic header; both are tightly linked catalysts for hot money running from . . . → Read More: Asia Screeches ?

Monetary Collusion Masking A Vulnerable Aussie Dollar
2011-12-06 16:23:00 This week global central banks announced a coordinated effort to inject liquidity into credit markets. From Reuters: “The central banks of the United States, euro zone, Japan, Canada, Britain and Switzerland announced on Wednesday coordinated global action to provide liquidity to the financial system, lowering the price on existing dollar swaps.” As frequently as these monetary powers must work together in world-saving plans, this is only the third instance of this particular type of announced collusion. The first was in December 2007. The second was in September 2008. Here is what happened then: Not exactly the market reaction we’ve come to know from the more popular (and admittedly larger) quantitative easing measures implemented by the Federal . . . → Read More: Monetary Collusion Masking A Vulnerable Aussie Dollar

Nine Reasons Why the U.S. Dollar May Have Bottomed
2011-11-21 18:05:00 It’s always difficult to pinpoint where we are in terms of a trend, whether it’s in stocks, bonds, or other assets. Long-term trends in the currency markets have ranged from six to ten years, measured by the various bull and bear markets in the dollar since the inception of the free-floating currency market back in 1971. Here’s the pattern as measured by the U.S. Dollar Index: • 1971-1978: Seven-year bear market (President Nixon closes the gold window) • 1978-1985: Six-year bull market (Fed Chairman Volcker squeezes inflation) • 1985-1992: Seven-year bear market (triggered by the Plaza Accord) • 1992-2001: Ten-year bull market (tech boom and money flow to U.S. assets) • . . . → Read More: Nine Reasons Why the U.S. Dollar May Have Bottomed

Occupy Wall Street: A Threat to the Dollar?
2011-10-27 19:15:00 On its face, suggesting that the Occupy Wall Street movement may threaten the U.S. dollar may appear like a tall order. However, simply dismissing Occupy Wall Street as a fad may be a big mistake, just as it is a mistake to dismiss the Tea Party movement. Regardless of your political stance, and with no offense intended to supporters of either group, we believe they may be two sides of the same coin – quite literally. To determine where policy makers and with it, the U.S. dollar, may be heading, it is important to understand that the driving forces behind both movements have common roots. . . . → Read More: Occupy Wall Street: A Threat to the Dollar?

Aussie Dollar in a Copper Cauldron!
2011-10-24 20:05:00 I keep thinking that any day now the Australian dollar will take a dirt nap. It took one back in mid-2008, falling a stunning 39 percent in just three months in the midst of the credit crunch. This shows just how vulnerable the Aussie can be to a growth accident that slams the world economy; it is the premiere risk currency among the major dollar currency pairs. Global growth is fading fast again, and copper seems to be highlighting that story. It could be lights out for the Aussie again if that’s the case. As you can see in the chart below, the copper futures weekly uptrend line is broken, and the primary trend is down. The . . . → Read More: Aussie Dollar in a Copper Cauldron!

Head of Sai Baba Mega Dollar Hospital At Puttaparthi Resigns. Others Quitti
2011-06-26 03:34:00 I only met Dr A.N. Safaya once, when I lengthily interviewed him at the Sri Sathya Sai Superspeciality Hospital for the Puttaparthi-based magazine 'Spiritual Impressions', which is distributed internationally. My impression was of a gracious, deeply dedicated man. He is highly respected in India and abroad in the medical profession. I venture to predict that, given a probing government enquiry into the circumstances of Sathya Sai Baba's death, the circumstances of Dr Safaya's resignation, and of other medical and nursing staff at the Sai hospital, will show that forces on the Sathya Sai Central Trust, and certain of their agents, have been grossly unscrupulous. And, more widely, criminal. There are very serious allegations arising in news coverage that those around Sathya Sai Baba prior to his admission to the hospital where he died on 25 April withheld vital medical information from Dr Safaya and other medical experts in attendance. From other flows of information we are rec...
