The currency wars of today

21 October 2010

It has been no secret that in recent times the world economy has been embroiled in a bit of a battle of attrition unlike any other. It really has been a case of “us against the world”, as some romantically like to label it. Every nation has tried to look out for its own interests [...]

Foreclosure a foregone conclusion

Foreclosure a foregone conclusion

19 October 2010

Perhaps the biggest fallout of the entire economic crisis is that there has been a widespread series of foreclosures on homes, thus leaving millions of homeowners homeless and suddenly without a roof over their heads.

Central to growth

Central to growth

14 October 2010

It is, in many ways, absolutely amazing how Europe’s watchdogs and central monetary figureheads have almost stood by while the sovereign debt crisis first snowballed. It was almost as if the European Central Bank was a reluctant bystander, unwilling to shoulder the responsibility and burden of some of the member states of the European zone. [...]

On the brink

On the brink

12 October 2010

Pakistan right now is in a state of near-breakdown. A state of economic being that is best described as shambolic coupled with the ravages of Mother Nature means that this strategic partner of Uncle Sam is in a state of spreading paralysis.

The clash of the currencies

The clash of the currencies

07 October 2010

It is one of those aphorisms that is just so true in the international financial community, a bit of financial humor if you will. It is said that if any high-ranking official comes out in the open and flat out denies something that is happening in the currency markets, chances are that it is true [...]

Are taxes getting to you and getting your spirits down? If you, like us, love to lead the good life, get on the plane to a land of tax cuts where spirit flows freely and the spirits are always high. “But where are these mysterious lands”, you may ask. An excellent question, my dear Watson; [...]

Saving the American dream

01 October 2010

Everyone keeps on talking about the downside of this recession and how it has taken the wind out of our economic sails, but there is actually an upside to it. No, this is not a very early April Fools joke, it’s not even April yet, for crying out loud! The good thing that has come [...]

Parallels with the past

The year was 1913, and it was when the Federal Reserve was created in order to stem the impact of any financial panic that might arise in the markers. That goal took some time to be achieved, but the Federal Reserve did eventually grow into the force it was meant to be, albeit after World [...]

Save the banks from themselves

Save the banks from themselves

23 September 2010

Talk is dirt cheap, and every goes about shoveling it around freely. And inevitably, the most banter comes from large banks that are too large to fail, lest their death creates shock waves among those invested in the banks well-being.

The perfect storm

The perfect storm

21 September 2010

The storms that swept through New York City some days back were bizarre to say the least. If anything, it reminded me of scenes straight out of Ghostbusters and the National Weather Service went so far as to say the storm contained “tornadic” elements.

Let ailing banks sink

Let ailing banks sink

14 September 2010

These are tough times, and tough times call for tough measures. In Greece, it is the government that has sunk the banking system, but over here in America it is the banking system that has crippled the government irrevocably. Enough is enough; all banks that aren’t fit enough or up to scratch should just be [...]
