Hope For China’s Love & Blow A Fiscal Kiss To Germany
Original Article from Fox Business Brian Sullivan Time to send a collective American hug over to Beijing. We need their fiscal love. One of the CBO's leading economists confirms what many have feared: if buyers of U.S. debt suddenly lose their appetite for it, we're toast. From the report: Although deficits during or shortly after a recession generally hasten economic recovery, persistent deficits and continually mounting debt would have several negative economic consequences for the United States. Some of those consequences would arise gradually—but a high level of federal debt, combined with an unfavorable long-term budget outlook, would also increase the probability of a ...
Herb Greenberg: Need vs Want at the Corporate Level
Original Article from The Reformed Broker Thankfully, Herb Greenberg is back on business television...he's always been one of my fave reporters/commentators going back over ten years ago when he was muckraking for TheStreet.com. He just had an interesting segment on CNBC in which he talked about what companies are saying they need versus what they really want. The gist of it is that everyone along the supply chain from producer to consumer is extremely tentative. I'm hearing and seeing a lot of anecdotal stuff that jibes with this concept. Here's Herb: hat tip Charles Kirk Read more articles from The ...
What SEC Sources Say About FinReg and FOIA
Original Article from Fox Business EMac's Stock Watch The impetus for the Securities and Exchange Commission to seek broader exemptions from public-disclosure law in the new Dodd-Frank financial-reform law came from a concern that the SEC must keep confidential the proprietary data it picks up in its examinations of financial concerns, SEC sources say. The SEC intends for the provision only to be used to protect the confidentiality of data the agency gets when it examines financial companies. The SEC sources say the clause is needed now because the Dodd-Frank bill forces the SEC to audit more financial companies than ever before—including new ...
BusinessWeek Bites My Premise re: The Consumer
Original Article from The Reformed Broker BusinessWeek is usually a pretty good read and the content has improved greatly since its re-energization under Bloomberg's stewardship. And I guess I'd be happier to see Devin Leonard's cover story about cash-strapped consumers buying expensive stuff if I hadn't already written it myself. Leonard writes about the dichotomy of consumers cutting back on shampoo purchases but buying Starbucks and Apple products. His version is a good one, a bit more fleshed out than mine. On June 13th I talked about "An iPad in Every Pot" both on TRB and at Forbes: When I hear Steve Jobs come ...
Wanted: One Cool Customer
Original Article from The Reformed Broker Different market environments call for different temperaments, and this tape calls for One Cool Customer. The cross-currents lately are absolutely cartoonish - back-to-back-to-back triple digit rallies while each morning we are treated to fresh evidence of Slouching Housing, Hidden Consumer. A lot of pros were washed out at the bottom this month when the 8 or 10 month moving averages that they use as stops were violated. Right on cue, the S&P rallied 6% off those lows during July, almost out of spite. The frustration is palpable and people are getting heated. What to make of it ...
EARLY LOOK: Pause to Wonder
Original Article from Hedgeye Blog “He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.” -Albert Einstein My eyes definitely aren’t closed this morning. We are in day 6 of another low-volume, global macro, short squeeze that has expanded its multi-factor wings from Europe to China and back to the [...] Read more articles from Hedgeye Blog
Gold Has Always Been a Store of Value. Fortifications, Too.
Original Article from The Reformed Broker Another gem of a post from Cassandra Does Tokyo. The circular logic of gold being a store of value because it has always been a store of value has been assailed by many a pundit, but Cassandra is thinking more along the lines of the fortifications that man has always erected throughout history... For the moment, I will not question the foundations of the fears that Gold fulfills, nor will I question the time-honored pedigree it has acquired through history. But in my travels this summer I believe I have found another [possibly] ignored asset that ...

Crudele on the Gardening Leave Clause
Original Article from The Reformed Broker This is pretty hilarious if you ask me. During the Black Days of 2008-2009, when Wall Street itself was hearing its own eulogy being read in the news each day, lotsa boys and girls down here signed some pretty unfavorable employment contracts. You can't blame them, The Street was like Pearl Harbor then; everywhere you looked were scuttled and sinking ships. It made sense to accept these terms and conditions just to drag yourself aboard a floating firm in order to stay alive. And now the employees are regretting these terms. My favorite of these is ...
