We did the math for the $450 million Powerball jackpot and concluded it's not worth buying a ticket Business Insider By Andy Kiersz 11 hours ago image (Thomson Reuters) You probably shouldn’t do this. The Powerball lottery drawing for Wednesday evening has an estimated jackpot prize of $450 million. While that’s a huge amount of money, buying a ticket is still probably a losing proposition. Consider the expected value When trying to evaluate the outcome of a risky, probabilistic event like the lottery, one of the first things to look at is “expected value.” The expected value of a randomly decided process is found by taking all of the possible outcomes of ...

Last year ended with a whimper on Wall Street. The S&P 500 was down 1% for the year, down 4% from its all-time high in May, and no higher than it was 13 months ago at the end of QE3. The Wall Street shysters and their mainstream media mouthpieces declare 2016 to be a rebound year, with stocks again delivering double digit returns. When haven’t they touted great future returns. They touted them in 2000 and 2007 too. No one earning their paycheck on Wall Street or on CNBC will point out the most obvious speculative bubble in history. John Hussman has been pointing it out for the last two years as the Fed created bubble has grown ever larger. Those still embracing the bubble will sit ...

New Year Market Turmoil by Stephen Lendman Will 2016 be the year the artificially stimulated US economic house of cards collapses? It’s long overdue. What can’t go on forever, won’t. Markets levitate only for so long. Day of reckoning time inevitably arrives. Fed money printing madness turned Wall Street into a casino - high risk for ordinary people wanting their savings protected along with a reasonable return. Former Reagan administration Office of Management and Budget director David Stockman warns often of a coming collapse - calling America’s financial system an “unstable, bubble-prone gambling arena that undermines capitalist prosperity and showers ...

Americans are increasingly foregoing paychecks due to disability, school or retirement< How come more people are retiring in their early 20s? Why are middle-age men becoming stay-at-home dads? What's keeping women out of the workforce other than illness, kids or school? Those are some of the questions raised in a new Bureau of Labor Statistics report that shows changes over the past decade in why people stay out of the labor force. Finding answers is key for the Federal Reserve as it maps the contours of a job market that's becoming harder to predict with the aging of the baby boomers and shifting household priorities. Here's what the bureau found, broadly: Thirty-five ...

U.S. in industrial recession; time to buy gold Posted on January 4, 2016 by GS Early Recently, U.S. Steel (NYSE:X) CEO Mario Longhi made the rounds of the financial shows and upped the ante on his concerns regarding the U.S. industrial metals industry. This sector has been the backbone of the U.S. economy for decades. If it’s sick, the whole economy is sick. Longhi runs one of the largest steel companies in the United States, and the fact is his troubles are a bellwether. Simply put, U.S. industrial strength is withering. U.S. Steel’s stock dropped 37 percent in November alone and 70 percent for the year. With all the great economic news we keep hearing, what’s really ...

Top 10 Predictions for 2016: Read It, This Is A Good One Posted by on Dec 28, 2015 10:29:12 AM At the end of the year I spend a few days reading all the IT security pundit's 2016 predictions and synthesize them with my own perspective. The Crystal Ball issue is the shortest of the year and takes the longest to write, but it's fun. Most people in this industry are very smart, and sometimes their predictions are outright hilarious.

The reputations of Ben and Janet are going to be eviscerated in 2016. That’s because the US economy will slide into recession in defiance of every claim they have made for their snake oil monetary policies. The plain fact is, massive falsification of financial markets via their “wealth effects” doctrine did not levitate main street prosperity at all; it just fueled another giant speculative mania in the Wall Street casino. The prospect that the leaders of our monetary politburo are about to be tarred and feathered by economic reality might be satisfying enough if it led to the repudiation of Keynesian central planning and a thorough housecleaning at the Fed. Unfortunately, ...

Sputnik... Old currencies rarely get a second life and, if they do, it’s usually due to political forces. In Germany, a chain of supermarkets decided to play the nostalgia card, and will accept the old Deutschmark this month. Right-wing politicians have been talking about the return of the Deutschmark (DM) ever since the introduction of euro in 2002. Fourteen years later, a supermarket chain is reportedly unintentionally making their dream come true. Almost Third of Europeans Want to Replace Euro With National Currency The move is a brief campaign in support of the old German currency and those feelings of nostalgia. Scheduled to launch January 4 by the popular Kaufland supermarkets, ...

One hundred years ago European civilization, as it had been known, was ending its life in the Great War, later renamed World War I. Millions of soldiers ordered by mindless generals into the hostile arms of barbed wire and machine gun fire had left the armies stalemated in trenches. A reasonable peace could have been reached, but US President Woodrow Wilson kept the carnage going by sending fresh American soldiers to try to turn the tide against Germany in favor of the English and French. The fresh Amerian machine gun and barbed wire fodder weakened the German position, and an armistance was agreed. The Germans were promised no territorial losses and no reparations if they laid down their ...

RT... Saudi Arabia’s 2016 budget is allegedly based on an average crude price of about $29 per barrel, Bloomberg reports, quoting Riyadh-based Jadwa Investment. On Monday, Riyadh posted its next budget for next year that will see a $36 billion cut in spending, based on a $87 billion deficit. As of 8am GMT, Brent benchmark was trading at $36.75 per barrel, while US crude West Texas Intermediate stood at $36.91. In December, OPEC de facto abandoned its output limits to continue cornering the global market and ousting high-cost oil producers. Brent, the benchmark for more than half the world’s oil, is set for the lowest annual average price in 11 years, hurting energy exporting ...

The bankers, Jonathan Francis, 27, and Dion Allison, 30, of JP Morgan Chase bank, allegedly targeted 15 dormant accounts, at least eight of which belong to deceased persons who were still receiving deposits from the Social Security Administration, the New York Times reported.

Weather Works Wonders for Select Investments; Will it Persist? Mike Larson | Tuesday, December 29, 2015 at 4:20 pm It’s all about the weather … at least for select investments. Get a load of beaten-down natural gas, for instance. Futures prices surged by almost 10% on Monday alone. The fuel is now up by almost 30% in only six days, one of the fastest blink-of-an-eye bull markets I have ever seen. Granted, that came off a low base. Nat gas just sank to its lowest since 1999, after all. But for investors in this beaten-down commodity, they’ll take what they can get. Industry execs and workers could also use a break, considering the nat-gas-drilling rig count just sank to the ...

Top Risks to the U.S. Economy in 2016 Published Tue, Dec 29, 2015 | Alan Gula, Chief Income Analyst Share Print This Post Email This Post U.S. Economy: Top Risks to Watch Out for in 2016 If Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen were incapable of telling a lie, she might say something like, “We appear perpetually optimistic because we’re afraid of the market reaction if everyone found out what we really think.” Dishonesty would certainly help to explain the Fed’s atrocious economic forecasts. In December 2014, the Fed governors expected the economy to expand at a pace of 2.6% to 3.0% (central tendency of real GDP growth). Actual 2015 growth will wind up around 2.1%. ...

But the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Standard & Poor’s 500 Index have barely budged. The Dow Jones Transportation and Dow Jones Utility Index have gotten pasted.

Royalties: Bridging the Gold Price Mismatch By Adam English | Monday, December 28, 2015 We're heading into what is normally a week of extremes. A whole lot of people have taken off and closed the books for the year.

With that in mind on this Monday, let's keep this relatively short and sweet. I'm going to point out an often overlooked gold play. It bridges one of the biggest mismatches between gold producers and the metal itself. Take a look at this chart and you'll see it, clear as day: gld gdx mismatch chart Gold ...

RT... When Iceland jailed its bankers something changed. The unthinkable had happened: the real criminals had been held to account. Now Switzerland is also threatening to go off the fiat-bankster reservation. But will it happen? Josiah Stamp once said: “If you want to continue to be slaves of the banks and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let bankers continue to create money and control credit.” Stamp knew whereof he spoke. Among his achievements, he was appointed a director of the Bank of England in 1928. All so-called modern, civilized countries are under the boot of the very mechanism Stamp described. Very few countries managed to achieve highly developed societies ...
