Throwing Ever More Money At World Financial Problems | International Forecaster Weekly Bob Chapman The International Forcaster

Throwing Ever More Money At World Financial Problems | International Forecaster Weekly Bob Chapman The International Forcaster | Economy News | Investing | US Market Information | Gold | Silver | Wall Street Bailouts | Investment Trends | Money Resources | US and Worldwide Politics


It is now clear to the most casual observer that the world’s monetary and financial system cannot function without massive amounts of additional money and credit. That means the system no longer functions the way it should. Europe really doesn’t know what to do and neither does the Fed anda the Bank of England. The exception is throwing more money at the problem and keeping interest rates near zero indefinitely. Many US, UK and European banks are insolvent. The real estate market continues to deflate throughout Europe with the exception of Germany, which never really rose in price. Again, there are no solutions offered to solve this problem. Just as there are no solutions elsewhere. These conditions tell us the euro has serious problems to face as does the pound and the US dollar. You have to then say to yourself against what. Each currency has its own problems, thus, the only alterative is to measure each currency versus gold and silver. These are the true benchmarks, and when compared over the last 11-1/2 years, versus nine major currencies gold and silver on average annually have appreciated more than 20%. That tells you anyone holding currencies has been a major loser.................

Sinking Feeling: It's getting fishy in Japan

With all eyes on the debt crisis engulfing America and Europe, few have noticed the depths to which Japan's once-triumphant economy has sunk. With Tokyo reduced to wringing its hands, could Japanese economic dominance be dead in the water?

Will Precious Metals Go Up Along with the General Stock Market?

Based on the October 28th, 2011 Premium Update. Visit our archives for more gold & silver analysis.
The yellow metal, money for more than three millennia, has a close relationship to other forms of money. Some argue that it isn’t gold that has risen in value in the last decade, as much that fiat currencies have lost value against gold. Ever since gold began its spectacular rise a decade ago, the U.S. dollar has lost over 80% of its purchasing power. The other currencies have not fared much better. The euro and the Japanese yen have lost over 70%. Gold is the only form of money that governments cannot create out of thin air which is why the supply of fiat currencies is expanding exponentially faster than gold supplies, which increase by about only 3% per year........

The Chinese should be able to provide more than loose change...STEPHEN KING www.independent.co.uk

Stephen King: Will sending around the begging bowl really solve the eurozone crisis?
Economic Outlook: The Chinese should be able to provide more than loose change to help the eurozone
STEPHEN KING
MONDAY 31 OCTOBER 2011

So now we know. The solution to the eurozone crisis lies in passing around the begging bowl. Investors may have reacted with euphoria to the announcement that the eurozone bailout fund would rise from €440bn (£386bn) to well over €1 trillion, even after yet another Greek bailout. But policymakers still have to explain precisely where the money will come from and how it will be spent. ...........

BILLY IDOL-Eyes Without A Face. Live 1984

I'm all out of hope
One more bad break could bring a fall
When i'm far from home
Don't call me on the phone
To tell me you're alone
It's easy to deceive
It's easy to tease
But hard to get release

(les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
(les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
(les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
Got no human grace
Your eyes without a face

I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you...........

The High-Beta Rich...By ROBERT FRANK - BOOKS

http://www.amazon.com/High-Beta-Rich-Manic-Wealthy-Bubble/dp/0307589897



The High-Beta Rich: How the Manic Wealthy Will Take Us to the Next Boom, Bubble, and Bust




About the Author

ROBERT FRANK is the Wealth Reporter for The Wall Street Journal and the author of the New York Times bestselling book, "Richistan." His blog, The Wealth Report, was named by Time magazine as one of the nation's most influential business blogs. He is one of the nation's leading authorities on wealth and is a frequent contributor to NPR, ABC News, and Fox Business.


Book Description

in employment opportunities, housing, and tax revenues. 
November 1, 2011

• Why California’s worst budget crisis in history is due in large part to reliance on the volatile incomes of the state’s tech tycoons.

• The bitter divorce of a couple who just a few years ago made the Forbes 400 list of the richest people, the firing of their enormous household staff of 110, and how one former spouse learned  the marvels of shopping at Marshalls,  filling your own gas tank, and flying commercial.
Robert Frank’s stories and analysis brilliantly show that the emergence of the high-beta rich is not just a high-class problem for the rich. High-beta wealth has national consequences:America’s dependence on the rich + great volatility among the rich = a more volatile America.  
Cycles of wealth are now much faster and more extreme. The rich are a new “Potemkin Plutocracy” and the important lessons and consequences are brought to light of day in this engrossing book.
high-beta rich (hi be’ta rich) 1. a newly discovered personality type of the America upper class prone to wild swings in wealth. 2. the winners (and occasional losers) in an economy that creates wealth from financial markets, asset bubbles and deals. 3. derived from the Wall Street term “high-beta,” meaning highly volatile or prone to booms and busts. 4. an elite that’s capable of wreaking havoc on communities, jobs, government finances, and the consumer economy. 5. a new Potemkin plutocracy that hides a mountain of debt behind the image of success, and is one crisis away from losing their mansions, private jets and yachts.

The rich are not only getting richer, they are becoming more dangerous. Starting in the early 1980s the top one percent broke away from the rest of us to become the most unstable force in the economy. An elite that had once been the flat line on the American income charts - models of financial propriety - suddenly set off on a wild ride of economic binges.   
     
Not only do they control more than a third of the country’s wealth, their increasing vulnerability to the booms and busts of the stock market wreak havoc on our consumer economy, financial markets, communities, employment opportunities, and government finances.
    
Robert Frank’s insightful analysis provides the disturbing big picture of high-beta wealth. His vivid storytelling brings you inside the mortgaged mansions, blown-up balance sheets, repossessed Bentleys and Gulfstreams, and wrecked lives and relationships:

• How one couple frittered away a fortune trying to build America’s biggest house —90,000 square feet with 23 full bathrooms, a 6,000 square foot master suite with a bed on a rotating platform—only to be forced to put it on the market because “we really need the money”.

• Repo men who are now the scavengers of the wealthy, picking up private jets, helicopters, yachts and racehorses – the shiny remains of a decade of conspicuous consumption financed with debt, asset bubbles, “liquidity events,” and soaring stock prices.

• How “big money ruins everything” for communities such as Aspen, Colorado whose over-reliance on the rich created a stratified social scene of velvet ropes and A-lists and crises in .......
employment opportunities, housing, and tax revenues.

• Why California’s worst budget crisis in history is due in large part to reliance on the volatile incomes of the state’s tech tycoons.

• The bitter divorce of a couple who just a few years ago made the Forbes 400 list of the richest people, the firing of their enormous household staff of 110, and how one former spouse learned  the marvels of shopping at Marshalls,  filling your own gas tank, and flying commercial.
Robert Frank’s stories and analysis brilliantly show that the emergence of the high-beta rich is not just a high-class problem for the rich. High-beta wealth has national consequences:America’s dependence on the rich + great volatility among the rich = a more volatile America.  

Cycles of wealth are now much faster and more extreme. The rich are a new “Potemkin Plutocracy” and the important lessons and consequences are brought to light of day in this engrossing book.

Angela M. Hey (Portola Valley, CA USA) 

"The smell of espresso and freshly basked croissants fills the private-jet terminal of Orlando Sanford International Airport." This visual detail makes Robert Frank's writing vivid and convincing. He goes on to describe how a Repo Man and his partner recover assets from the rich. Amazing skills they have to pick up private jets and luxury yachts that have fallen into the hands of creditors.
The stories are scary - a reminder of how easily fortunes are made and lost. The book is peppered with quotations, statistics and charts. "In 2007,..., the richest 1% of Americans held more than $3.5 trillion in residential real estate, or about 34% if the nation's total." The author highlights the spending differences between rich and poor Americans. The top 1% earn 20% of the US's income and pay 38% of federal income taxes.

A particularly sad story is the demise of stores in the Rocky Mountain resort of Aspen and the corresponding drop in house prices. From a small town, the author moves to the state of California. The analysis of state income follies and overspent budgets is shallow, but highly readable.

Finally the author gives some ideas for surviving in highly volatile stock markets. He encourages savings and rainy day funds.

This books dire warnings and heartbreaking examples should be read by all who want to avoid a financial catastrophe. Thorough research and clear writing makes this a great book for anyone interested in wealth, from butlers to billionaires.

Ben Davies - One Chart Says it All, Extremely Bullish for Gold
With gold trading around $1,730 and silver near $35, today King World News interviewed Ben Davies, CEO of Hinde Capital, to get his take on where the gold & silver markets are headed.  Ben sent KWN the above chart on gold and commented, “You really don’t need to say much when you look at the chart, it’s extremely bullish.  We took the current year and pushed it forward four weeks to adjust the seasonality.  We realized that the market was working on a four week basis ahead of time and if we adjusted the seasonality by bringing it forward four weeks, readers can see that come October we were going to actually have a rally into the year end.  Historically you would tend to see a dip in October, but we already had that dip in September.”  .......

Europe Has a Deal: Is the Devil in the Details?

Fri, Oct 28, 2011



Global financial markets surged Thursday on the news that European leaders finally agreed to a solution for the euro zone sovereign debt crisis, which has worried the world for more than two years. U.S. markets jumped 3% upon news of the deal, while European bourses were up nearly 5%.
"I'm surprised financial markets have taken this to be a huge step forward," says Zanny Minton-BeddoesThe Economist's economics editor. "Like many of the previous deals — and we've had a number of them— when you look at the details, people are going to be somewhat more disappointed."...........

Exchanges: panic buying
10/28/2011
After the Summit: buying panic on global stock exchanges! Stock market rallied on global stock exchanges. Banks participate with the average debt in Greece. Brilliant autumn rally continues. Panic buying at the Moscow stock exchange.

by Andreas Männicke
This was a historic night in Brussels: After the EU summit in Brussels 27 October, the world's stock markets reacted with a stock market rallied. Greece gets 50% of their debts if banks participate. It will put together an aid package worth 100 billion €. The banks have to increase its capital ratio to 9% and thus be recapitalized. It is a Europe-wide financial transaction tax to be introduced, remained open only when and in what amount. EFSF help in an emergency levered up to € 1 trillion to needy countries and banks. Hardly a representative of the people understood the - also poorly translated - right lever at the EU summit, to happiness. A partial failure can become a total failure.The bailout might fail. Then only can help the ECB with gold print.
So it should come in spite of the de facto bankruptcy of Greece no bank failures, which goes from the moment at least the market. This set of measures was enough to a true course on Thursday to trigger fireworks, especially among European banks.The courses of the German Bank AG and Commerzbank AG were down by as much as 16.7 and 15.8%. This seems the Risikoapettit investors gradually come back. But I also believe Gewinnmintnahmen fast again.
My strategy to buy with staggered Abstauberlimits in September, went on with it. I also had time to rally in the fall of brilliant potential EAST STOCK TRENDS (www.eaststock.de ) attention. Sales from panic buying panic was on Thursday.........

Gold at an impressive recovery rate
Wednesday 26 October 2011, 9:52 Clock | Posted by Gold Reporter


A short time was the 10-month trend in risk. But with yesterday's rise in the gold price has broken through key resistance. .............



A rise in gold prices toward $ 1,745 or $ 1,781 is to be expected now. In this region must then show that the new price momentum has substance. Above $ 1,781 would be an attack on the old highs at $ 1,900 only a matter of time. The region around $ 1676 now forms a resilient support.

New Greek deal encourages investors

2011-OCT-27

euros “Risk” assets such as commodities and equities have rallied hard on the news that EU leaders have reached agreement on a plan to deal with Greece’s debt crisis. The euro has also risen sharply against the US dollar in response, with the Dollar Index (USDX) now back below 76. However, gold and silver prices have pulled back from the highs they reached yesterday.
The new plan for Greece calls for 50% losses on Greek government bonds held in private hands. Following adjustments to the value of government bonds they hold, large banks are also expected to maintain core “Tier 1” capital ratios of 9%. Leading banks in 13 countries have been given a deadline of June 12 next year to come up with an additional €106.4 billion of Tier 1 capital. .......

Gold - Recovery and Resurrection...by Jeffrey Nichols

Gold - Recovery and Resurrection

Published : October 27th, 2011


Gold is coming to life again - and looks poised to move higher in the weeks and months ahead. Having fallen precipitously from its all-time high just over $1,923 an ounce in early September to a recent low near $1,540 in early October, a peak-to-trough correction of some 20 percent, gold has been, of late, range-bound, trading between $1,640 and $1,680.
Having moved to the top of this range and even slightly higher, I sense gold is just now resuming its long march upward, a march that could, before long, carry the price to the $1,850 region and perhaps even to its historic peak of $1,923 by the end of the year.

The Safe-Haven Paradox

Ironically, Europe’s continuing sovereign debt crisis - a situation that should promote fear-driven demand for gold - has, in recent weeks, weighed heavily on the yellow metal’s price. In addition, a sharp reversal in speculative positions on futures exchanges and other derivative markets has contributed to gold’s two-month consolidation.
Ordinarily, investors and analysts might expect Europe’s impending economic and political disaster to send gold prices rocketing skyward - but this has not yet been the case. Instead, it triggered “safe haven” demand for the U.S. dollar and boosted the greenback’s exchange rate against the euro to gold’s detriment. .......
