  “After Dubai, will Greece be next?” asks the Financial Times this morning.  They are speaking of sovereign default, of course.  The debt payment moratorium by Dubai World has investors asking these kinds of questions for the first time in nearly a year. In late 2008, the question was “which bank is ...

  heave-ho.org — Authority: 164
  A Robust economic recovery in 2010 is certainly on most investors’ wish lists as this year draws to a close.

• Thomas L. Friedman Trying to Reassure Americans

  
  The Daily Reckoning Australia — Authority: 538
  Back to Mr. Thomas L. Friedman. What we like about Mr. Friedman is that he is such an unworthy opponent. It is like playing darts with a blind man or a boxing match against a paraplegic. In a battle of wits, The New York Times columnist is unarmed. We get to pummel him, confident that he cant hit back. Yesterdays ...

• Forget About Inflation

  
  HS Dent — Authority: 469
  Gary Shilling gave an interview with Yahoo! Tech Ticker in which he lays out a scenario very similar to that of HS Dent: Mr. Shilling is taking a hard contrarian view here.

• Debt Dynamics Will Hold Back Economy

  
  News Kontent — Authority: 126
  We believe that U.S. government and private debt levels will diverge over the next four or five years as the authorities attempt to use government debt to replace the private debt that is almost certain to decline substantially. U.S. total debt is presently just under $55 trillion, comprised of public (government) ...

• Another Reason to Buy (More) Gold

  
  The Daily Reckoning — Authority: 592
  The age of de-leveraging is upon us. Bad news for the US economy; good news for gold. For the past 60 years, corporate debt has grown faster than the economy – 4.1% annually for debt, compared with only 2.7% for the economy as a whole. In short, more and more debt went toward producing each dollar of GDP growth. ...

  HS Dent — Authority: 469
  We are shocked — SHOCKED! — to find that Bank of America and other large institutions did not respond to Treasury Secretary Geithner’s entreaties to lend more freely:  “ Geithner Saying ‘Be Like Buffet’ Can’t Make JP Morgan Lend More .” Bloomberg writes, While financial institutions including ...

• The Sinking Ship that is Japan

  
  HS Dent — Authority: 469
  Once in a while, you have a “me too” moment when you see an article that you wish you had written.  Barry Ritholtz posted on of those today: “ Worry About Japan, Not America .” Ritholtz, though he doesn’t cover the demographic angle, is one of the few analysts out there who understands debt deflation and ...

  Veritas Vos Liberabit — Authority: 475
  By Bill Bonner, Regular readers of this space will recognize this as the third in a series. Irregular readers will not recognize it at all. They will look at us as though we had come from Mars.

  The Daily Reckoning Australia — Authority: 538
  Were heading for the hills...really! Last week, stocks went up. Stocks went down. Not much was proved one way or another. The week ended in a draw, as near as we can tell. But we think we are making progress in understanding what is going on. The private sector is de-leveraging. Now, its the public sector doing the ...

• How Much Juice is Left in this Bear Market Rally?

  
  The Daily Reckoning — Authority: 592
  Since it peaked in 2007, the UK stock market lost 60% of its value. As of yesterday, it had recovered half of what it had lost. All over the world, the story is about the same. Markets have recovered half or more of what they gave up. The US is a laggard. While the S&P is up 60%, the Dow isn’t yet at the ...
