POLITICS - "China Threat" or a "Peaceful Rise of...
Good reading for those interesteded in world economic balance from NY Times: “China’s rise” can be seen as a quintessentially political process—through which the ruling Communist Party has sought to shore up its legitimacy after the Cultural Revolution irreversibly changed the nation and caused three crises of ideological belief, faith in the CPC, and confidence in the...

POLITIIKKA - 10-11 - Takausvastuut eivät kasva,...
Helsingin Sanomat uutisoi 27.10. mm. seuraavaa: ERVV:n nimellistä kokoa ei kasvateta nykyisestä 440 miljardista eurosta eli Suomelle tai muille euromaille ei tule uusia takausvastuita, Katainen kertoi. Sen sijaan Kataisen mukaan ERVV:tä pyritään vivuttamaan eli sen rahoituskykyä pyritään kasvattamaan nelin-viisinkertaiseksi nykyisestä ERVV:n vapaana olevasta rahoituskyvystä. Käytännössä...

INVESTMENT - 10-11 - Bear -There Is No Way To Stop...
from Business Insider: The dominoes of debt are toppling in Europe, and there is no way to stop the forces of financial gravity. The German economy is simply not big enough to fund a 3 trillion-euro bailout. I tend to buy this vision as well. The article offers further very interesting reading: Four Facts that PROVE the EFSF (rescue fund) Doesn’t Matter At All There Is No Bailout Spoon:...

INVESTMENT - 10-11 - Bear - Summit Dialogue Gone...
from Business Insider: Want to know how bad the discussions in Europe are going? All you really need to see is this. From The Guardian: The bust-up between Cameron and Sarkozy held up the conclusion of the EU-27 summit for almost two hours, with the French president expressing rage at the constant criticism and lectures from UK ministers. Sarkozy bluntly told Cameron: “You have ...

TALOUS - Näihin talkoisiin Suomen ei pitäisi...
Taloussanomissa tänään: Suomella on ainakin neljä pätevää perustetta olla maksamatta euroakaan: Ensimmäinen peruste pankkitalkoiden torjumiseen on se, että Suomen valtio on ani harvoja eurovaltioita tai sen puoleen EU-valtioita, jotka eivät ole kirjaimellisesti ylivelkaisia. Toinen peruste pysytellä kaukana pankkitalkoista on se, ettei Suomen kamaralla ja näin ollen Suomen valtion...

POLITIIKKA - Herääkö oppositio sittenkin!
Nyt on viimeinen hetki reagoida! Ehkä kokonaistakausten määrän paljastuminen saa keskustapuolueen heräämään 19.10. Keskustan eduskuntaryhmän puheenjohtaja Kimmo Tiilikainen vaatii valtiovarainministeri Jutta Urpilaista (sd.) ja pääministeri Jyrki Kataista (kok.) selvittämään, mikä Suomen takausvastuu Euroopan väliaikaisessa vakausrahastossa todellisuudessa on… Lähde: Uusi Suomi ...

TALOUS - Suomen euro-takaukset yli 10x...
Sotakorvaukset vastaavat 1944 markan arvossa noin 400 miljoonaa markkaa ja 5,50 muuntokertoimella noin 73 miljoonaa euroa. Kun huomioidaan inflaation vaikutus sotakorvaukset ovat käsittääkseni vastanneet noin 2 miljardin euron summaa nykyarvossaan (1951-2007 aikavälin elinkustanuusineksiä käyttäen arviolta noin 5,147% vuodessa aikavälillä 1944-2011 eli 67 vuodessa). Nyt aiomme ruveta takaamaan...

from Business Insider: The scale of European bank recapitalizion is going to be far smaller than anyone was hoping for. The FT is reporting that sources close to the EBA’s new stress tests are talking €70-90 billion, rather than the €200-275 that analysts and IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde have suggested. According to the report, €40-50 billion of that recapitalization will ...

POLITICS - 94% of Finns don't share the vision of...
me included. On the contrary. I’m shocked. I have been trying to find some public data which would justify the current thinking by the political elite, including the opposition. I have found no actual facts. None. Quite the contrary. I have come across only semantic statements about how we all need to help the Greeks or otherwise the whole euro will go down the toilet which will trigger...

POLITIIKKA - Kirjoitushetkellä 94% pitää Suomen...
Iltalehden 4.10. lanseeraaman kyselyn perusteella, kun on annettu jo yli 37’000 ääntä. Jollei ainakin oppositio nosta kissaa pöydälle suht pian on oma johtopäätökseni se, että sielläkin vain pelataan jotain käsittämätöntä poliittista peliä vähääkään välittämättä siitä mitä ihmiset ajattelevat.

INVESTMENT - 10-11- Bear - HUSSMAN: The Recession...
The core substance of it all: As of Friday, the yield on 1-year Greek debt has soared to 169%. Greece will default. Ok. The: “Greece will default.” is a strong way to put it, but far more probably it will than it won’t. Further, before anything like that even happens we will very probably see still increasing frustration among commons. Which is easy to understand to say...

INVESTMENT - HYPERINFLATION: Can It Happen Here?
Worthwhile reading for anyone: Originally, on this day (-2) in 1922, the German Central Bank and the German Treasury took an inevitable step in a process which had begun with their previous effort to “jump start” a stagnant economy. Many months earlier they had decided that what was needed was easier money. Their initial efforts brought little response. So, using the ...
