Want... Taiwan police on Aug. 20 announced that they had caught two suspects who scammed investors out of NT$1 billion (US$30.6 million), reports our Chinese-language sister paper China Times. The Criminal Investigation Bureau in Taipei said that since March, many cases of fraud have been reported by Taiwanese users of Hong Kong-based bitcoin trading platform Mycoin, which was shut down in February by Hong Kong authorities for similar reasons. Two Taiwanese suspects have been charged in connection with the website-related fraud, 47 year old Chen Yun-fei and 39 year old Lu Kuan-wei, who was the former president of the Taoyuan Junior Chamber of Commerce.

The Ministry of Petroleum and Energy in Norway on Thursday has given green light to the development and operation plan of the oil group Statoil for Johan Sverdrup field. The Norwegian economy has been suffering from significantly falling oil prices and strongly depends on the country's energy sector. That makes the approval of Statoil's project not only a significant boost to the country's oil sector, but also a promise of an improving economy in general. The fifth largest oil field to ever be found off the Norwegian coast will be developed in several phases. During the first phase, worth 12.7 billion euros, four bridge-linked platforms and three subsea water injection ...
This 2 Day Stock Market Crash Was Larger Than Any 1 Day Stock Market Crash In U.S. History

We witnessed something truly historic happen on Friday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 530 points, and that followed a 358 point crash on Thursday. When you add those two days together, the total two day stock market crash that we just witnessed comes to a grand total of 888 points, which is larger than any one day stock market crash in U.S. history. It is also interesting to note that this 888 point crash comes in the 8th month of our calendar. Perhaps that is just a coincidence, and perhaps it is not. It just struck me as being noteworthy. This is the first time that the Dow has dropped by more than 300 points on two consecutive days since November 2008, and we all remember ...

Plunge Protection Teams of the World, Unite!

The herd must be turned away from selling by any means available, and at this point, that means coordinated buying by all the world's Plunge Protection Teams. Central bankers are watching Marx's dictum all that is solid melts into air play out in global stock markets with a terror informed by the scalding memories of 2008's global financial meltdown. Once the trap-door opens, there is no bottom without prompt action by the world's Plunge Protection Teams--the plausible-deniability action heroes of the hyper-speculative status quo who leap into action when global stock markets threaten to melt down. After half a decade of ceaseless saves, we all know the mechanics of ...

Brokers Terrified, and Not About This Correction Posted on August 21, 2015 by Brad Hoppmann To the rational layman, the biggest story in the markets this week is the huge sell-off in the major market averages. Stocks in the Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite and Russell 2000 all have plunged below their respective 200-day moving averages, and that’s got Wall Street (and Main Street) very worried. Yet perhaps an even a bigger worry for many on Wall Street has nothing to do with the price of stocks. The new wave of panic swirling around the brokerage profession is whether people will discover their broker has been cheating on his or her spouse. According to industry advocate ...

My name is Steve Meyers. And I want to thank you for taking part in this exclusive Money Morning interview with Jim Rickards, the Financial Threat and Asymmetric Warfare Advisor for both the Pentagon and CIA. Recently, all 16 branches of our Intelligence Community have come together to release a shocking report. These agencies, that include the CIA, FBI, Army, and Navy, they've already begun to estimate the impact of the fall of the dollar as the global reserve currency. And our reign as the world's leading super power being annihilated in a way equivalent to the end of the British Empire, post-World War II. And the end game could be a nightmarish scenario, where the world ...
Elon Musk's Hyperloop concept closer to becoming a reality

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 21 (UPI) -- The concept of high-speed frictionless train travel through pressurized, above-ground tubes began life as a fanciful dream -- one popularized by serial entrepreneur Elon Musk. Last year, Musk expressed interest in an idea called Hyperloop -- a plan to propel pod-like trains through tubes at upwards of 500 miles per hour. But with Musk's energies devoted to his car and space travel projects, Tesla and SpaceX, he called on other entrepreneurs, engineers and problem-solvers take up the concept in his name. Several start-ups sprouted. And now, one of them is announcing a significant step forward. On Thursday, Hyperloop Transportation Technologies announced ...

U.S. stocks were poised for a slightly lower open Friday, rounding out a week marked by fears about a cooling Chinese economy. Investors on Friday received fresh evidence of the slowdown in the world's second-largest economy. An early gauge of China's factory activity slumped to a six-and-a-half year low in August, triggering steep declines in stocks across Asia and Europe, where many companies depend on China for demand. U.S. stock futures indicated a 0.2% opening loss for the S&P 500 and a 0.4% opening loss for the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Changes in futures aren't necessarily reflected in market moves after the opening bell. Declines in European stocks were ...

23 Nations Around The World Where Stock Market Crashes Are Already Happening Posted by Michael Snyder You can stop waiting for a global financial crisis to happen. The truth is that one is happening right now. All over the world, stock markets are already crashing. Most of these stock market crashes are occurring in nations that are known as “emerging markets”. In recent years, developing countries in Asia, South America and Africa loaded up on lots of cheap loans that were denominated in U.S. dollars. But now that the U.S. dollar has been surging, those borrowers are finding that it takes much more of their own local currencies to service those ...

SwissInfo... Despite Switzerland still being attractive to international investors, tax reforms and immigration policies are creating uncertainty. The free movement of people in particular is key for top firms, say representatives of the country’s strongest economic regions. The canton of Zug is undisputedly the most attractive location to set up business in Switzerland, according to annual studies conducted by Swiss banks Credit Suisse and UBS. Its ranking is based on four main factors: financial conditions, skilled labour, transport links and stability. “These factors are also right at the top of firms’ agendas when it comes to choosing a location,” said Beat ...

Back in June we showed you "who" really runs your state. By "who" we actually meant "what company", but since corporations are now people, we suppose it’s all the same. The map showed the largest corporations by revenue in each state and as we noted at the time, there were some surprises (Chevron, not Apple runs California; Costco, not Microsoft runs Washington, for example). Below, we present a similar graphic only this time, it’s market cap rather than revenue that’s in focus and as you can see, some of the surprises have disappeared.

According to Bloomberg and other sources, the International Monetary Fund is expected to announce a reserve currency alternative to the U.S. dollar on October 20th of this year, which experts say will send hundreds of billions of dollars moving around the world, literally overnight. This announcement is expected to trigger one of the most profound transfers of wealth in our lifetime. Bloomberg reports that this decision comes on the heels of China pushing for their own currency to be elevated to reserve currency status.

Urgent Update From Jim Rickards The first shot has been fired, and the first “blood has been spilled.” Last week, China devalued its currency, the yuan, for three straight days -- sending the global financial markets into convulsions.

Rest assured... this currency war is just heating up, and it could devastate the savings of millions of Americans before it’s all over. But there is some good news... Jim Rickards has a way to use these currency wars to your advantage... His proprietary trading system has the power to deliver anywhere from 80-1,000% gains because of currency wars. ...

Submitted by Jim Quinn via The Burning Platform blog, The government issued their monthly retail sales this past week and four of the biggest department store chains in the country announced their quarterly results. The year over year retail sales increase of 2.4% is pitifully low in an economy that is supposedly in its sixth year of economic growth with a reported unemployment rate of only 5.3%. If all of these jobs have been created, why aren’t retail sales booming? The year to date numbers are even worse than the year over year numbers. With consumer spending accounting for 70% of our GDP and real inflation running north of 5%, it’s pretty clear most Americans are experiencing ...
