Hyperinflation - A Fiscal, Not Monetary Phenomenon Posted: 24 Aug 2010 01:01 AM PDT Months ago we wrote about the true causes of hyperinflation. We proceed to expand upon our views as we disagree with the views put forth by John Mauldin, Mike Shedlock and now Jim Rickards who all focus on velocity and/or bank lending as important causes of hyperinflation. The reality is that hyperinflation is first and foremost set in motion and driven by a deteriorating fiscal situation. In fact, significant economic weakness and deflation is a precursor to hyperinflation. Too many … [visit site to read more]

Some Thoughts On The Druckenmiller Exit Posted: 24 Aug 2010 12:47 AM PDT There is a great article over at CNN Money about the implications of the Druckenmiller exit for the hedge fund industry: From our skunk-works of chaos theory here at Hedgeye in New Haven, CT, here are some deep simplicities associated with hedge funds that manage to consistently drive absolute returns across bull and bear markets: 1) Hedge funds that consistently find alpha in their idea generation. 2) Hedge funds that maximize that alpha (spreading their wings) when they find it. 3) Hedge … [visit site to read more]

Forex Trading: Dollar And Yen Rising On Market Uncertainty And Slowing Growth Posted: 23 Aug 2010 11:30 PM PDT Dollar and Yen Rising on Market Uncertainty and Slowing Growth A consensus seems to be forming that risk aversion is returning to the market.

Bear Of The Day: Amazon.com (AMZN) Posted: 23 Aug 2010 11:05 PM PDT Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) is one of the largest online retailers in the world.

U.S. Stock Market Not Looking Good For The Bulls Posted: 23 Aug 2010 07:40 PM PDT The market made the highs of the day within the first 15 minutes of the trading session and ended at the lows of the day. If I was forced to pick out a positive for the bulls today, then it would be that the support levels I pointed out yesterday still hold. In fact, the bears kinda missed an opportunity to drag the market lower today, with all the negative sentiment surrounding the housing data due tomorrow. No wonder the futures are down a decent bit as I write this. Here are the … [visit site to read more]
