2010 : Year of the Black Swans From Hell
08/29/09
—
Accurate financial forecasting has always been difficult. Today, with so many distortions at work in the economy, I dare say that no one can say with any degree of precision what the future may bring. That being said I believe that there is a strong possibility that in 2010 the tender green shoots of...

Major US Banks are Insolvent
02/12/09

Goldman Sachs New Operating Environment
02/03/09
—
Goldman Sachs, the long time home of former Secretary of State, Hammering Hank Paulson, is moving forward on a slippery slope of financial survival. The good old days are over, never to return.
The damage rendered to the world’s economy and financial system by the toxic brew of derivative fin...
Obama Will Try to Sustain the Unsustainable Consumer Economy
01/01/09
—
It appears that the Obama leadership team is already off on the wrong foot and once in office will do everything in their power to sustain the unsustainable US consumer economy and the premier position of the automotive culture as a major component of that economy.
Unfortunately, this is predictable...
Selling the US Economy Short
12/26/08
—
What? Have I lost my mind? Selling BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY INC short, the primary investment vehicle of a man who is considered by many to be the greatest investor of all time? Isn’t selling BRK.A short kind of like shorting the best of the US economy?

Peak Oil to Take Center Stage After Financial Meltdown
12/19/08
—

Has Warren Buffett Become an Unlucky Investor?
12/12/08
—
Warren Buffett is widely viewed as one of the greatest stock market investors of all time. Yet his premier investment vehicle, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., is down about 40% from its 2008 high. Is this just a reflection of the sorry current market conditions or has Buffett’s investment style of in...

Payback Time for President George W. Bush
11/21/08
—
No, it’s not President Bush doing the payback but the leaders who attended the G-20 conference held at Bush’s request in Washington, D.C. Note how the leaders of the 20 developed nations do not shake Bush’s hand as he walks through a reception line. Not that Bush even attempts to...
Barack Obama as the Unlucky 44th President
11/15/08
—
Poor Barack Obama. He won his bid to be the 44th President of the United States. Congratulations to him, he fought a smart well managed campaign and deserved to win. However being the 44th President may well prove to be unlucky no matter how well Obama leads the nation.
Having lived in Taiwan and Ho...
2008 Craziest Ever Presidential Campaign
11/03/08
—
The following video captures in part just how wacky and at times truly crazy the American 2008 presidential campaign has been.
