The Vega Factor: Oil Volatility and the Next Global Crisis

• by Kent Moors

How oil volatility is affecting the global political scene, and where the oil market is heading

The world is rapidly moving towards an oil environment defined by volatility. The Vega Factor: Oil Volatility and the Next Global Crisis takes an in-depth look at the most important topics in the industry, including strategic risk, why traditional pricing mechanisms will no longer govern the market, and how the current government approaches have only worsened an already bad situation.

* Details the industry's players, including companies, traders, and governments
* Describes the priorities that will need to be revised, and the policies needed to achieve stability
* Explains how today's oil market is fundamentally different from the pre-crisis market

Oil prices affect everyone. The Vega Factor explains the new international oil environment of increasing consolidation and decreasing competition, and reveals how consumers and investors can navigate price volatility and new government policies.

Should We Care What Ratings Agencies Say About the US Debt?

On Friday July 15, 2011, 12:22 pm

Every time another ratings agency downgrades a company’s stock, share prices plummet. And every time a ratings agency downgrades another Euro-zone nation, down go its treasuries, the markets, and the general mood of its citizens. So what will happen if Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s follow through on their threats and downgrade the U.S. from its top credit rating, and should we care? Let’s start at the beginning:

What exactly are ratings agencies? Ask anyone who’s been upgraded or has a top credit rating and they’ll be ready to extol the virtues of ratings agencies and the formulas they use to differentiate the successful from the failures. But ask anyone who’s felt the repercussions of a downgrade, and they’ll tell you a very different story, one full of woe and a few choice expletives. What they won’t tell you is how agencies like Moody’s and S&P determine their ratings and why they have such an impact on the markets.

Upside of a USA Downgrade Threat -By Jeff Macke Breakout

The Upside of a USA Downgrade Threat

By Jeff Macke | Breakout – Thu, Jul 14, 2011 10:59 AM EDT

In the mind of my Breakout co-host Matt Nesto, Moody's (MCO) is behind the curve by not going ahead and dropping the U.S. rating now. "Why wait?" he bellows in a guttural cry not unlike Jake LaMotta telling Sugar Ray to hit him. Nesto says a fiscal punch in the government's face is overdue. "We're a manufactured AAA" he notes, adding that the U.S. is actually rated more highly than Japan, a country from whom we borrow. The relationship between the U.S. and Japan's ratings are akin to a jobless deadbeat having a better credit rating than the brother-in-law from whom he's trying to "bum a few bucks."
