Jim is a straight shooter. He is one the best minds there is who has uncanny knack with commodities and macro trends. I pay attention whenever he talks. You too should pay attention to this veteran and ignore other pigs who always promote the Street on CNBS.
He echoes my sentiment, “European Stress Test is a [...]
Watch it in its entirety. Don’t know if you remember Tiger Woods crashing the car while wife chasing him animation, it has become normal for thes chinese media channels to animate few popular news
Guts, or kahunas as some would call it, look like this:
In this video, Dylan raises temperature on the congressman who does nothing but divert the topic to criticize the Govt and spew Republican talking points.
Talking point #1: Indict the Federal Government
Talking point #2: Divert the topic to all Republican talking points
And the ending [...]
When Congressman Alan Grayson asked this question, Bernanke said in a written statement, “No!”
But a lot of market participants believe that the government does in fact intervene in markets in many overt and covert ways, one of which is to buy S&P futures. CNBS guys debunk this. [This via Zero Hedge]

She is baaaaaack!
You may recall one of my earlier posts in which I featured a Frontline documentary on Brooksley Born. Well, this visionary and caring woman got to take on the chief criminal himself. From Huffington Post:
The panel created to investigate the roots of the financial crisis escalated the government’s assault on Goldman Sachs [...]
This guy doesn’t mince any words. With exception of a reference to ‘teleprompter’ (what does got to do with anything he said?), and a vicious attack on Obama, – he is right on.

William Fleckenstein is a great resource of sanity in the midst of bubble. He is my erstwhile blogging buddy on Silicon Investor before he catapulted into mainstream punditry. In fact, I got schooled a lot from him about Greenspan’s follies.
Bill weighed in today about markets. Watch and think.
“after having completely ignored the bursting of the [...]
Folks
Here is an excellent summary on GLD. Please be careful and read the fund’s prospectus, if you are invetsed in it. The emperor is naked.
“The Gold ETF is an excellent conduit to redirect physical demand into paper. The Gold ETF is similar to a fractional reserve bank. As long as customers don’t fear for their [...]
IN the past few days, I have been occupied on several fronts, which is why lately I am not able to post much on TG. Today’s market action deserves some mention from me.
Add to this, Japan is at new 52 week low. 2.5 to 4% losses in a day don’t come that often. Tomorrow is [...]

This kind of totally goofy market action is happening too often and too much. From Zero hedge:
The kneejerk reaction to the completely unsurprising FOMC statement was down… Which is why the corresponding 12 handle move up in the ES is perfectly understandable… as long as one understands that our market is totally [...]
Hugh Hendry is a hedge fund manager from UK. He is one of those “evil short-sellers” that the establishment (read politicians and the banks) love to hate. However, but for the short-sellers, the truth would not have come out in this increasingly manipulated and intervened market. Hendry was among the few who saw problems in [...]
I caught-up with Rao to make sense out of Euro crisis. Even though Rao is retired and claims that he is not in touch with what is going on in the markets lately, he is as sharp as ever. This 40 min long interview sheds light on a number of fundamental reasons for current state of world’s financial mess. Thos who followed me on my Teluguone Radio show or read my articles on various blogs might find that my views are eerily similar to his views.

Mr. Rao Chalasani was a veteran Wall Street economist who retired in 2000. His long career included stints as the chief economist at Everen Securities which later became First Union Securities. Currently FUS is a unit of Wells Fargo. In the 90s he was frequently quoted in the Wall Street Journal. He was one of the straight shooters on Wall Street and one of the few whom I respected and I paid a lot of attention.
