But what happens if one expands the Eurozone NIRP universe to include the debt of other countries including Japan, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland and so on? Conveniently, JPM has done the analysis and finds that a mindblowing $3.6 trillion of government debt traded with a negative yield as recently as last week. This ...

It Happened Well brothers, now that we’ve all seen the banks had indeed intended to ambush us, I wanted to take a moment to write a few things that I didn’t get to write last time. I think a few folks may have mistook my intent in writing that warning. So let me be clear for everyone. I never write warnings because I’m either 1) despondent about price action, or 2) telling you to “hit the deck” and sell your silver or gold! I’m not a trading service, and I couldn’t care less about the prospect of using silver to gain a pile of these: Payback 3 The reason why I wrote it, is because I saw(with only a few exceptions) that most of the bloggers out there ...

Economist Magnus: Currency War 'Will Likely Stay for Some Time' Wednesday, 28 Jan 2015 07:00 AM By Dan Weil The global currency war rages on, with China's central bank pushing the yuan to a seven-month low this week. China's economic growth sagged to 7.4 percent in 2014, the lowest rate in 24 years, and the government hopes that a weaker currency will boost exports. The problem, of course, is that many other nations are trying to devalue their currencies as well — for the same reason. The euro plunged to an 11-year low against the dollar Monday in the wake of last week's decision by the European Central Bank to launch a 1.1 trillion euro quantitative easing ...

The greatest problem with government is how it consumes capital until it kills the private sector. This has been the course of every government – power corrupts universally. The bureaucracy has also gamed the private sector for personal gain.

Yahoo (YHOO) had one mission in its fourth-quarter earnings report and the actual earnings didn't have much to do with it. Instead, investors wanted to see the company's plan for a tax-free spin-off of Alibaba (BABA) shares -- and they got it. Yahoo shares jumped over 7% to $51.49 in after-hours trading.

Yahoo... Think of a constant force in nature (gravity doesn’t count)—does the ocean come to mind? The unrelenting sea, with its perpetual ebb and flow, remains one of the world’s largest untapped sources of renewable energy. How large? The Electric Power Research Institute estimates the potential wave energy resource along the United States’ coastline at 1,170 terawatt-hours per year. That sounds like a lot, and it is—enough to supply half the United States’ annual electricity demand. A new study has found what scientist already thought. Wave energy production, once the infrastructure is in place, would be a reliable, steady, and dependable source of ...

The railway will make travel easier between Europe and Asia, the statement said. China is actively promoting its high-speed railway technology and sees Russia as an especially attractive market because of its strained relations with Western countries over Ukraine.
