    Irrational Exuberance In Stock Market Knows No Bounds

    January was the winter of our discontented stock market. It was the worst January since 2008, when the Great Recession began. It was, in fact, the worst January in the history of the New York Stock Exchange. According to Citigroup, Inc., it was also the worst January ever for credit markets. A financial professor at NYU agrees with Citigroup on that: Altman said the correlation among stocks, bonds and energy prices has never been higher, meaning that when stock markets move, the spillover to bonds and energy prices is even more powerful. That hasn’t happened before, he said.   “I didn’t expect things to change this quickly in th...

    I Lived Nowhere And With Nothing For The Past Year – This Is What Happened…

    A little over a year ago I threw out almost everything I owned. Since then I’ve been living out of a single bag. And then I took off. I live in random places through airbnb or other house or room sharing services. I don’t have a car, I don’t even have a driver’s license. I don’t have any physical books. All of the books are on my kindle. I take it back. I stole one book. “Life of Pi”. I started reading it in one place I was staying and didn’t finish so I wanted to keep it until I finished. I stopped reading it and haven’t finished it yet. I don’t have medical insurance. I haven’t been for a regular doctor’s visit in ma...

    Total U.S. Debt Surpasses $19 Trillion; Rises $8.4 Trillion Under President Obama

    Two months ago, when we calculated that the US would need a new “debt ceiling” of $19.6 trillion to last until after Obama’s tenure, we may have been too optimistic: since the increase in the hard debt limit of $18.15 trillion which was raised at the end of October, the US appears to be growing its debt at a far faster pace than we had originally expected, and according to the latest public debt data, as of the last day of January, total U.S. debt just hit 19,012,827,698,417.93.  This means that if the nominal US GDP as of December 31 which was $18.12 trillion grows at the 1.2% rate expected by the Atlanta Fed, total deb...

    Slouching Toward The Dark Side

    Last Wednesday we noted there is something rotten in the state of Denmark, meaning that the world’s great potemkin village of Bubble Finance is unraveling. The evidence piles up by the day.

Ezubo investors lined up outside a government office in Beijing last month; having shut down the online peer-to-peer investing.
