E US Stocks Can Be Headed Lower

Business Is One Reason For Economic Inequality – And Also For Equality

Business Is One Reason For Economic Inequality – And Also For Equality

Is business a reason for economic inequality, or does business reduce economic inequality? I believe the answer is “Yes.” Private business both increases and decreases inequality, in conjunction with changes in the structure of the economy, technology, social attitudes and public policy. Private business does not definitively determine the distribution of income, but it influences […]

EC The World’s Fragile Economic Condition

Where is the world economy heading? In my opinion, a large portion of the story that we usually hear about how the world economy operates and the role energy plays is not really correct. In this post (to be continued in Part 2 in the near future), I explain how some of the major elements of […]
Why Are Wages So Low

Why Are Wages So Low

Last week, we talked about the capital consumed by Netflix—$8 billion to produce 700 shows. They’re spending more than two-thirds of their gross revenue-generating content. And this content has so little value, that a quarter of their audience would stop watching if Netflix adds ads (sorry, we couldn’t resist a little fun with the English […]

E Is Procter & Gamble Still Attractive After Its Recent Rally?

Procter & Gamble (PG) is a consumer products giant that sells its products in more than 180 countries. The stock has rallied 21% since early May. As such a steep move is rather unusual for this slow-moving stalwart, the big question is whether the stock can still offer attractive returns from its current price. Procter […]

EUR/USD: Starting The Week On The Front Foot

Monday started with a nice upswing on the EUR/USD pair, setting the bullish sentiment for this week.

Party Like It’s 1992?

Last week, Mark Hulbert warned of an indicator that hasn’t been this inflated since the “Dot.com” bubble. To wit: “It’s been more than 25 years since the stock market’s long-term trailing return was as low as it is today. Since the top of the internet bubble in March 2000, the S&P 500 has produced a 1.4% annualized return after adjusting […]
