Random Shots (Absolute Returns Partners Edition)

Claus Vistesen — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 20:46:01 +0000

With so much going on at the moment and so many themes fighting to claim the main market discourse, I am in the mood for some random shots. First of all and to my continuing regret I have never actually got to thank Niels C. Jensen from Absolute Return Partners for the nice coverage I

Video: Fitch downgrades Greece to BBB+ as violence erupts

Edward Harrison — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 14:47:41 +0000

Greece has been downgraded by Fitch Ratings to BBB+ over concerns about its budget deficit. Despite the cut, Fitch maintained a negative outlook on the country’s ratings, meaning it could fall further in the near future. This action highlights how the real sovereign debt crisis is in Europe not in Dubai. The ratings agency said:

Hyperinflation, national bankruptcy, dollar crash and other exaggerations

Edward Harrison — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 20:25:19 +0000

Earlier today I wrote a post featuring comments by Marc Faber as I like to do from time to time. In this particular case Dr. Faber was waxing prosaically about an eventual bankruptcy of the U.S. government. His money quote was: “Next station is when the U.S. government goes bust.” I love this guy. Quite

This latest monthly missive is on dwindling energy supplies – known as Peak Oil, something Edward has talked about before. The parabolic rise and collapse in oil prices we saw last year was not just about speculation, it was about peak oil and dwindling cheap natural resources. this essay gives a complete treatment of the

Green Shoots or Smoking Weed?

Niels Jensen — Fri, 29 May 2009 20:11:55 +0000

Asset bubbles are strange animals. Ideally, you would like to punch the air out of them relatively early before they become a real danger but, in practice, it is not quite so simple. Ben Bernanke and Alan Greenspan have actually both argued that asset bubbles cannot be detected and monetary policy should therefore not in

The Fake Recovery

Edward Harrison — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 15:12:36 +0000

This April 2009 post is holding up well and still describes my view on the economic situation in the United States. I am much more confident that the cyclical forces I described here are leading to a recovery. The question now has to do with sustainability and all of the systemic issues still at play. Because the Obama administration has moved into deficit hawk mode so quickly, I see a double-dip (i.e. a second downturn in late 2010 or 2011) as more likely than not. Even if we avoid a double-dip, the U.S. economy will still be at stall speed for some time to come and that means that any recovery is likely to be a short one (three-four years tops)
