Investments, trends, recommendations: Gold, everything will change

Everything has gone wrong in the financial markets, with a feeling of latent panic these last few months . Another sign of the system malfunctioning is the astronomical amount of share buybacks by the companies themselves (at the least a thousand billion dollars spent on share buybacks in 2015): encouraged by interest rates at their lowest, businesses prefer to take on debt to pay their shareholders rather than make a profi. In such times, gold is supposed to see its price increase. And yet… (Excerpt GEAB No 98 / Log in or Subscribe now)

China’s Selling Tons of U.S. Debt. Americans Couldn’t Care Less

For all the dire warnings over China’s retreat from U.S. government debt, there’s one simple fact that is being overlooked: American demand is as robust as ever. Not only are domestic mutual funds buying record amounts of Treasuries at auctions this year, U.S. investors are also increasing their share of the $12.9 trillion market for the first time since 2012, data compiled by Bloomberg show...

Why the eurozone losing Poland is a bigger deal than losing Greece
Grexit. Spexit. Quitaly. Over five years of stumbling from one crisis to the next, the eurozone has developed its own bizarre lexicon of terms to describe various countries that might quit the euro EURUSD, +0.0617% . And yet there may be a far more important loss to the eurozone than Greece, and perhaps even Italy or Spain. And it may be a lot closer as well. Poland...

Will Fintech Upstarts Do To Banks What Uber Has Done To Taxis -- Or Will Banks Win?
For better or worse, the meteoric rise of ride-hailing giant Uber has become shorthand for startup success in America. Beyond the meme’ed and mocked “it’s Uber for X” description of many a new business these days, Uber’s $50 billion valuation — and the manner in which it has crippled industry mainstays and trampled over municipal regulations on its way to that massive number — is something that many entrepreneurs strive for...

Turkish Elections – The impossibility of chaos in Turkey

We have repeatedly analyzed that only the regional powers would be able to restore calm in the Middle East and resolve the Daesh issue, the common enemy on which (almost) everyone has agreed. However, we have stated that the US or Russian interventions would only have the effect of exacerbating tensions. Repeatedly missed opportunities : suffice it to say that the recent developments, setting the stage for a US/Russian confrontation in the Middle East, are not a move in the right direction. And we have also identified the Iranian Shi’ites and Turkish Sunnis, the only two democracies in the region (imperfect certainly – like all of us moreover – but assessed in the terms of the rest of the region), as the only possible legitimate alliance and guarantors of the region’s multi-confessionalism...

The inexorable logic of sharing economy

Amazon and eBay, following their establishment in 1994 and 1995, harnessed the connectivity of the Internet to create new, more efficient markets. In the beginning, that meant new ways of buying and selling books and collectibles; but now e-commerce is everywhere, offering customers new goods and used goods－and becoming a global force in logistics and retail. Likewise, while today’s sharing-economy companies may be just out of their infancy, their services will one day be ubiquitous.

2015/10/07 - LEAP/E2020 Press Review on the Global Systemic Crisis. Libertad, Igualdad, Pluralidad.

China exits the Western-centred « international » system “If someone has offended you, don’t seek revenge. Sit on the river bank and you’ll soon see his body pass by.” 

 Westerners would be well advised to read Lao Tseu when developing their policy towards China. Thus, they would have avoided two major errors, which could be fatal for them, whilst China seems to have been sitting on the river bank for a short while…These two errors consist of two snubs which they have just inflicted on China in a single summer, causing it to lose face globally: first, with the IMF refusal to include the Yuan in its basket of currencies which make up the SDR , plus boning at the next step by a year – probably never; secondly, the Western refusal to answer invitations to participate in the Chinese Second World War commemorations. Does that remind you of anything ? The same attitude towards Moscow the 9 May this year…In reality, the West seems well and truly to want to apply the same strategy to China as that which, up to present, has had some effect on Russia: isolate the country...

2015/09/30 - LEAP/E2020 Press Review on the Global Systemic Crisis

Corporate investments : the stock exchange or your life ? As long as financial markets are not regulated, as long as they operate on an ultra-short-term rationale and huge and quick profits, as long as they haven’t regained contact with reality (that’s to say as long as they are supported by the central banks), we recommend that businesses stay away from the stock markets. There are now other ways to finance one’s business without losing one’s freedom, even one’s life. The financial markets now look like a forest full of bandits ready to fall on you and rob you… To artificially cause the stock price of a business to fall in order to buy it cheaply has become a national sport. Recently, Boiron’s stock market “difficulties”, a very strong company however, whose stock price fell heavily whilst its profits were rising, is a clear call, and must give family business leaders the cold sweats: the good deal of buying cheaply in fact whetted the appetite of investors...
