Fed Rate and Bank Reserve Change, Might be Smart
First, as long as lending requirements remain the same, every loan will be closed with a cash deposit, which alleviates some of the problem of making more cash available through Fed Funds.

Good Politics are Most Important to Business Owners
Business and practice owners need to consider the most important thing for the continuing development of their business. Customer service, sales and marketing, product and service development, and productivity are all a constant but their effectiveness is not. In the wrong political environment these constants are negatively impacted by slow growth, reduced number of customers…

The Fed vs Banks, Gold Grab DejaVu!
It’s the 1930’s gold grab all over again, maybe. Sure feels like it, looks like it, walks and talks like it. Today the Fed is suing banks over mortgage drivel. Drivel because the Fed helped cause it, and drivel because their only remaining point of first bailing them out and then suing them is to…

No Volume in the Dow
Volume in the Dow and other indexes has been falling for some time. For over a year I’ve been trying to get top economists to comment or discuss this issue and it remains ignored.

Who Decides Your Next Phone Call?
What if your wireless provider decided your next call?

Yet our news media and low-level talking heads in the financial industry choose to play it up as if it’s the beginning of…

Primerica, Dumbing Down
Primerica claims they cannot get to middle-class and minority customers because the state insurance exams make it too hard for new agents. The test is easy, very easy. If anyone needs a smart agent, isn’t it the middle-class and minority groups? I almost hate to write anything about this since so many Primerica agents might…

The #JPQuake Week Ahead
Reality. The reactors in Japan seem to be at low risk of full meltdown. Barring another huge quake and tsunami the impact on the markets in Japan and around the world is likely to be very small. Japan’s economy can easily handle the cost and it hasn’t taken long for the financial news companies to…

New York Stock Exchange Sold To German Boerse
The NYSE was sold out yesterday to the German Boerse exchange in a merger deal. A major icon of our American ingenuity and capitalist structure has truly been sold out to a foreign entity. Even if they try to say Americans still have an interest in it, it’s like you owning one share of Walmart…

Is Goldman Sachs Window Dressing?
Not knowing what their current portfolios look like in their eyes, it does seem odd that in the midst of all the news and portfolio managers who have said “No double-dip recession”, that here comes Goldman with a big negative.
