Dubai: Dust, Dunes and Debt...

SEAN M. posted an article on - Nov 26, 2009, 11:53 am
Any investor aware of the 50% collapse in top stallion stud fees this year (and the Dubai royal family has been among the biggest spenders in top-end horseracing) would have been forewarned of the cashflow crisis gripping Gulf finances. When the Sheikhs can't afford to have their prize mares sir...

Gold Rising on Insolvency Risk, not Inflation...

SEAN M. posted an article on - Nov 18, 2009, 10:49 am
In one way, gold's surge to $1150 simply reflects the tidal wave of excess liquidity that is lifting all asset prices from US junk bonds to the most obscure emerging market indices. That unprecedented money supply growth, while largely insulated from the real economy thus far by excess reserve a...

Total annualized US domestic savings have fallen from their peak of $2.2 trillion dollars in the third quarter of 2006 to just $1.4 trillion on the latest Fed data. That represents a drop from 16.2% of GDP to 10.2% in 3 years, and is the lowest level since 1934. I've discussed the ongoing crisis...

Japan: Who will Switch the Lights Off?

SEAN M. posted an article on - Oct 14, 2009, 11:41 am
I wrote several times in 2008 on Japan's secular economic decline, determined by the developed world's worst demographic outlook. Over the next 20 years, the workforce will decline by 20%. Five years ago, the population was 127.7 million, today it marginally lower, but the composition has ch...

Australia Hikes Rates: Who's Next?

SEAN M. posted an article on - Oct 8, 2009, 4:22 pm
Don't expect to be crushed underfoot in the rush; while rate cuts were tightly co-ordinated to stem last year's systemic panic, their reversal will be piecemeal and grudging. The decision by the RBA to raise rates by 25bp, while hardly unexpected, underlines the resilience of the Australian ...

With Hilary Clinton as Eva Peron singing 'Don't cry for me Obama'? One of the most remarkable economic reversals over the last decade has been the impressive macroeconomic discipline shown by leading emerging markets from Brazil to India, while developed nations such as the UK and US hav...

SEAN M. posted an article on - Sep 24, 2009, 3:44 pm
In recent days, it's being reported that the Fed is structuring a new securities reverse repo program with Wall Street money market funds, in the first practical sign of a policy 'exit strategy'. At some point soon, the Fed will be buying new securities by borrowing money from the dealer...
