The Classic Wisdom Of Ray Dalio

Posted: 29 May 2012 03:22 AM PDT

I somehow overlooked a recent interview in Barron's with Bridgewater's Ray Dalio. Having sung his praises more than a few times over the last few years, (link here), Dalio once again does not disappoint.
Can a deleveraging process be 'beautiful?' Are there strong comparisons between Europe today and the birth of our democracy back in the late 1700′s? What lies ahead for world economies? Might we see more quantitative easing? How long might all this last?
Folks, this interview is a … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

Bull Of The Day: Apple, Inc. (AAPL)

Posted: 28 May 2012 11:13 PM PDT

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) reported an outstanding second quarter, with its earnings per share comprehensively beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by $2.27. We think management guidance was conservative as usual and believe Apple remains the biggest growth story based on its superior product pipeline, apps, iCloud, Apple TV, loyal customer base and international growth opportunities.
However, Apple’s ability to spur the popularity of its products in developing nations, where pricing is often an … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

Bear Of The Day: Vale S.A.

Posted: 28 May 2012 11:13 PM PDT

We downgrade our recommendation on Vale S.A. – ADR (VALE) from Neutral to Underperform. We are concerned about the current global instability and a slower-than-expected worldwide growth rate which has been constantly raising concern for miners, including Vale. On the operational side, resource nationalism, political uncertainty and natural disasters continue to impede efficiency.
In addition, rising energy prices, currency fluctuations and huge mining taxes may compress margins in the coming … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

A Tutorial For The President On Profit Maximization

Posted: 28 May 2012 07:36 PM PDT

Writing in the WSJ last week, economics professor Paul Rubin “takes the community organizer-in-chief to task for his dismissive comments about profit maximization” (ht/E. Frank Stephenson):

“In justifying his attacks on Bain Capital, President Obama argues that “profit maximization” might be an appropriate goal for a private-equity firm, but not for more general public policy. This argument ignores one of the most basic premises of economics.

We economists assume that firms always maximize … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

It’s Time To Ditch The College-for-All Crusade

Posted: 28 May 2012 06:51 PM PDT

Excerpts from Robert Samuelson’s editorial in today’s Washington Post (emphasis mine):

“The college-for-all crusade has outlived its usefulness. Time to ditch it. Like the crusade to make all Americans homeowners, it's now doing more harm than good. It looms as the largest mistake in educational policy since World War II, even though higher education's expansion also ranks as one of America's great postwar triumphs.

 Consider. In 1940, fewer than 5 percent of Americans had a … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

Niall Ferguson, Euro Bonds Will Save The Day

Posted: 28 May 2012 06:13 PM PDT

Harvard University history professor Niall Ferguson talks about Europe's banking crisis.

COMMENTS: Yes a Euro bond will save the markets and give the Dow 2000+ jump. But unless Europe goes full union (like USA) structure : Euro President, Euro Taxation, Euro Police, Euro etc. Euro bond a waste of time as it just allows a socialist Europe to spend at will (note: bankers love socialism for this very reason). The Euro bond will not stop the PIIGS spending more than they can afford.

Focus On China, Not Europe

Posted: 28 May 2012 12:47 AM PDT

While everyone is focused and worried about the news flow from Europe, I am less concerned about the prospects for Greece and the eurozone. As I wrote in my last post (see Draghi, the last domino, falls), Germany is becoming increasingly isolated and expect her to start to bend on the issue of eurobonds. While they may not be eurobonds in the strictest sense, we are likely to see some sort of typical European compromise on Pan-European infrastructure bonds.
